Dane Brugler’s 2 Round Mock - Bears

[I Just Want To Read]

Im pretty sure he's the starting LT next year.

Bears fans just think every player on the bears is the worst in the NFL at their position.

Very few bears fans actually pay attention to other teams OL's. There is a lot of bad tackle play out there. Braxton/Wright are a solid pairing if you heavily invest into the interior. The problem this year was injuries and the center/right guard being ass.

Agreed. I also think there's something to be said with consistency in the OL spots where you can. Caleb gets used to the tackle pairing and the tackle pairing get used to Caleb.

Make Trey Smith the highest paid IOL of all time. Draft one more starter in round 2 (or 1 of you love somebody). And then I think we're solid.

Guys don't leave 20 million on the table as a general rule.

What? Nobody said he would.

What? Nobody said he would.

Well make it clear to him and his agent that is what he'd be doing if he resigns with Chiefs.

You hit the nail on the head with that last part. I would love to see Braxton at LT with a reliable LG next to him (Trey Smith), but we just haven't seen that since we drafted him.

Now, am I a big Braxton fan, honestly not. If he was coming out of college today, knowing what we know now, I think I would still take about 3 or 4 other LT's in the draft than Braxton Jones (I just think their ceilings are higher).

Really, the first 3 picks of this year's draft for the Bear are predicated, IMO, on if they can sign Trey Smith AND is Braxton Jones the long term answer at LT.

• If the answer to both is YES, then at #10 we are probably picking the best defensive linemen available. Then in the 2nd round, we are looking at the interior (Jackson from Ohio State or the kid from Bama if he falls) and then I would still like to see us grab the Center from Georgia at some point
• If the answer is NO to both or No to only one of them, then at #10, we are taking a LT and will also take another linement (or we should) with one of our 2nd round picks.

Now, there is also a world we live in where we sign Trey Smith, believe that BJ is our long term LT and still draft O-line at #10 and move that pick inside and say "**** it" we are going all in on building a dominate o-line..

He’s gonna be paid like a top dog and still stay with the Chiefs. This shit happens every year.

WYATT MILUM IMO best tackle in draft. Plays angry and has great technique.​

No one wants to come to the Bears and regularly hold a block for 5 seconds only to get blamed when the QB gets sacked.

According to Dane Brugler, Ohio State has 16 players he expects to be selected in the 2025 draft. Notre Dame has 6. It will be interesting to see how it plays out on the field. Obviously, OSU is a big favorite on the betting sites.

How many 2025 NFL Draft picks will be on the field in Notre Dame-Ohio State title game?How many 2025 NFL Draft picks will be on the field in Notre Dame-Ohio State title game?

I’ll have my eye on Donovan Jackson again as well as both OSU DEs.

@ILoveDick any insight on the prospects or tonight’s game? I remember you being negative in general regarding the Big 10. If OSU wins tonight, it will be two Big 10 champions in a row.

I think that Green is going to climb his way into the top 15 by April once the draft pundits starting getting more info from team scouts.

Oh so tired

 

[kerschbs]

I want Mike Green!!!

Yea if he’s their first round pick I wouldn’t be mad about it (especially if we sign either of Trey Smith or Drew Dalman.)

Green, at least one FA ol, and the best ol with their first second round pick is a hell of start to beefing up the lines.

If that knee checks out Simmons is a no brainer. The Bears couldn't get a better pick at 10 than Simmons if his knee checks out.

If the Bears are drafting oline with #10 then I hope it's for a LT prospect play LT at the pro level. I really don't care for using first round picks on Guards, especially a top 10 pick.

If the Bears aren't taking an OT then I hope they finally drop a first round pick on a 3 Technique for the first time in 21 years.

When the Bears passed on Carter a couple years back I didn't mind it since they were at ground zero of a rebuild, and the DT position has an average shelf life of around 2 years with 3 years of rebuilding in front of them.

Now the Bears do have some pieces in place defensively that will really benefit from a game wreaker in the middle of that defensive line. Right now would not be a bad time at all to pull the trigger on a 3TECH.

I'm hoping for any one of a LT, DT or DE in round 1.
