LT at #10?

Who are the top tackles in the draft?

My guess, only the one coming off acl will be available at 10... the other is suspect if he is a Tackle or a Guard (arm length), but he will be good and probably goes higher than 10. Since all the interior line fixes so far, Bears will take best available which could be that RB. An Edge or the one exceptional TE, or ?

OTs that are "projected" to be OTs by many/most and suspected to go in the first half of the first round:

Kelvin Banks, JR.
Armand Membou
Josh Simmons

If you're looking for specifically a LT each player has their warts and their draws. Membou is probably the highest ranked of the 3 at this point and might be the only one taken before the Bears pick at 10. Some people think Campbell is a LT, but those same people thought Skoronski would be a LT too and that didnt happen for a second.

Honestly it's Membou for me or take Jeanty and then use 2nd round for more OL/DL picks.

Membou has the talent but I think he’s just too small. He’s only 6’2 (rounded up to 6’3) and that makes his arm length even shorter.

Where are you getting 6'2? Most every source I looked up just now has him as 6'3 3/4, rounded up to 6'4.

EDIT: Actually he measured 6'4 1/4 at the combine:

Missouri OT Armand Membou makes case to be first OL taken in draft over LSU's Will Campbell

 

[msadows]

they arent taking a backup at #10

They also just drafted a tackle at #75 last year

I'm guessing DE is the pick at #10.

That's where I'm at. If there is no obvious day 1 starter at LT, they can get a backup depth guy to develop in round 2/3.

If Mason Graham is in play that could be the pick. Otherwise Jeanty or DE.

 

[4THQUARTERCLUTCHLER]

What you mean ? We are taking a RB at 10

From the voices in his head... He’s basically clueless.

 

[TL1961]

Membou will be gone before the Bears pick.

Josh Simmons will be the best LT in this draft, and maybe the only one.

That guy may not even be a first rounder, torn patellar tendons used to be career enders and were the most serious injuries for an OL.

Times have changed and the recovery rate is much higher but its still a serious injury

 

[Da Coach]

It's got to be DE or another offensive weapon like Jeanty.

Not seeing much value at other positions at #10

I must have him mistaken for someone else or looked at an older article.

Ben Johnson will get a RB in the first 2 rounds

Simmons might not end up as the best LT from his own college team.

 

[Nelly]

Will Campbell would be tempting but if you're not sure about him being your future LT then you need to pass.

We know Poles is a big measurables guy so it's hard to see him taking Campbell there. Membou could easily be the pick there if he's available, but at this point, it looks like he wouldn't be.

 

[--CyBear--]

The best part of this is that no one knows what the Bear want to do at 10, which will make whatever they want to do easier. It's bad to enter a draft with a definable specific need and have some team jump you for your guy or make you give up more picks to prevent it.

TE, Edge, DT, RB, LT, etc are all viable picks and possibly on the board for the Bear at 10. Scenario also makes a trade down more viable.

 

[remydat]

Bears should trade down. Target OL in the 2nd.

Doubt OL will be BPA at 10 and with starters largely set I think BPA within reason is best way to go if we stay at 10.
