I think I said their needs were
OL
WR
TE
CB
I think they addressed all of that within their realm. I don't think for one second they blatantly recognized their weaknesses and then said "hey let's not address that one bit for our CCS fans"
I think they went after value today and that value was simply not there at the G position.

I highly doubt he'll be Kelce/Ertz/Kittle, but his style of play really does remind me of Kittle. Tough, gritty player who refuses to go down and tries hard to keep his feet when he's contacted. Also seems to be a very willing blocker who likes to scrap even though he's just ok as a blocker.

That is more of Kmet's ceiling. Hooper smaller but the same sort of weaknesses coming out in terms of route quickness. They are not sudden athletes.
Hooper as a ceiling is perfectly fine but think it is wishful thinking to think he is the same type of player as Ertz or Kelce.

Kelce was injured and didnt run at the combine. His 3 cone which measures change of direction was 7.12. Kmet's is 7.44. Ertz is 7.08. They are both over .3 tenths of a 2nd faster. And Kelce's was run coming off injury and is likely a bit higher than it should be.

You are well aware that change of direction is not about 40 time or vert. His 3 cone was 7.44 which was 2nd to last of TEs than ran albeit not a lot ran it. Trautmen's by comparison was 6.78 which is why some considered him better TE prospect.
I never said he was a bad athlete. I said he was a different athlete to Kecle and Ertz as their 3 cone was better. That translates into them being better route runners at this point.

You are confusing things. Burton is clearly a move TE that played Inline.
I am saying Kmet is more of a natural inline TE that can play some move.
The point I was making is Bryant is a more natural move TE as he is more fluid as evidence by his 3 cone which was 7.08 not 7.44.

Yes and if they had drafted a G, you would then claim the value was there.
My point is it is just confirmation bias. Not saying anything wrong with it but you are basically changing your assessment to fit what the Bears actually did.

Cole Kmet could play a long time in the NFL and still retire before the argument in this thread about him is over.

I think it was reported that he slipped on the 3 cone. It is weirdly bad when you consider his shuttle run was in normal range.

Cant find anything that says that. Dont they usually run drills twice? Would think if he slipped they would let him run again to get an accurate measurement.

Was refering to early in draft. You clearly would just agree with whatever thet did which again no biggie but lets just call a spade a spade.

I do. Unless it's a 1st rounder or someone I really think would do them good. But they are the pros.
I am not sold on Nagy though and was prett vocal about his suckage this season.

Only the 40 I thought they ran twice, could be wrong.
I would think they would let you re run it if you fell in your ass or something. But a little slip they might not even though it could slow you down a half second or so.
