Sign Ronnie Stanley please. Draft Wyatt Millum in late 1st.

I'd love to get Ronnie Stanley and Campbell and let Campbell work at LG alongside Stanley for 3 years or so then take over LT. I'd be alright with trading back up into round 1 with a 2nd to get savaiinaea for rg too. Sign drew dalman (I have my doubts he makes it to FA) and have a monster OL.

Draft the edge out of BC. Sign and draft an interior run stuffer.

Isn’t he a shell of what he used to be now?

Not in pass blocking he ain’t.

How about RT- Jones...RG- Wright.....New LT...LG- Campbell .....Bates at C?

Bates better not be in a bears uniform, let alone starting anywhere.

He's got arthritis in his shoulder and almost retired, and per Brad Biggs: “The shoulder pain would calm down a little as Bates rested during training camp and the preseason, but each time he returned to play, the shoulder lacked strength and the pain quickly returned — worse than before.”

Another Poles blunder. Is he back from his concussion yet? Who cares. Cut that bum.

Braxton Leno should be moved to swing tackle/6th OL, or at least replace Kramer when it’s time to be cute and put an OL at FB, although while he may be smarter and report, he’ll probably still jump offsides. He’s not a starter at LT, not sure why a move to RT to still be a below average starter is a good idea.

If you’re going to move Wright, move him to LT.

But PFF says Braxton is better!

We have a late 1st round pick? Where did that come from? Are we trading up into the late 1st cause we can't be trading down if we're drafting one of Pearce, Williams or Scourton?

We'd have to give up our 3rd round pick to go with the 2nd round pick to get back into the late 1st. Not down with that when there will be really good players sitting there at both 2nd round picks.

 

[bearsfan1977]

Would love it, but I don't think he will get anywhere near the Bears pick at #9 or below that if we win one more game.

He might. 2 QBs, Graham, and at least 1 of the OTs will go. Add in Travis Hunter and probably Will Johnson and 1 of the WRs, and he may be there.

FWIW, I am not high on either of the OTs. I think they may both slide inside. My guy is Wyatt Milim, and if falls the Bears should be all over him with their 2nd pick.

Completely with you on Milim. He’s a stud and I like him more than Campbell or Banks. I think he could stick at LT, but would be a beast at LG with T flexibility. Stanley at LT would be nice.

Abdul Carter is my guy. Total Micah Parsons vibes and will be a dominant player in the league, imo.

Re-sign Nate Davis and take a late round flyer on a developmental center. Draft mostly LBs and RBs

Appreciate the info......didn't know that about Bates...makes sense now......Braxton Leno...lol....you've convinced me...cut bait on Bates..

Id rather take an edge with that top 10 pick.

I doubt they replace braxton, and to be honest with a dominant interior both of the edges would be sufficient, especially if wright keeps improving.

The major issue right now is that one of the interior guys is getting blown up on most plays which effs the pocket. Same issue as last year but poles doesnt learn from his mistakes clearly.

 

[pseudonym]

Imagine being hyped about the O-line and D-line draft class just to watch Poles use at least two of his top three picks on DBs.

I will hunt him down and kill him.

 

[msadows]

Flus was the reason both those picks were db's. Sure poles gave the go ahead.

If we hired an offensive coach in 2022 its likely that both 2nd rounders would have been linemen or a lineman/wr combo.

Same reason we marched out the next offseason to sign 2 linebackers, flus.

Poles wanted to cater to flus so he could run his scheme properly.

Darnell Wright may not be living up to the expectations of a former top-10 draft pick

Some Chicago Bears fans continue to question if selecting Darnell Wright in the first round of the 2023 draft was the right choice.

Though I would love to draft him in my view Carter is top 5.
1 Sanders QB
2 Ward QB
3 Hunter CB/WR
4 Carter Edge
5 Graham DT

With what is left in the top ten I hope the Bears go edge with Williams. I agree with you on Millim high in round two. That guy is just a nasty blocker at either OT or OG. I would also add a DT with the other 2nd and a C in the 3rd. Gotta build the trenches in this draft.

I believe many on this board will want to help you.

How about RT- Jones...RG- Wright.....New LT...LG- Campbell .....Bates at C? For those who remember, those who don't remember and the unrespectful ignorant woke, the Walsh's Niners of the '80's would draft Ts with short arms to play G. The reason being that the Ts were already good at pass protection and the concepts thereof. And pass plays being used more often in the West Coast Offense, that actually started with the Cincinnati Bengals, and don't doubt me, for all practical purposes had 4 Ts & a C on the line. Of course, that C being Randy Cross from UCLA. The second team All-Pro C every year behind the great Jay Hilgenburg.

Why should we pencil in Bates as a starter when he can't even stay healthy? Who is playing LT? The only good FA option IMO is Alaric Jackson or you trust that a 2nd/3rd round pick taking the job

Milum reportedly has below-average arm length, so guard is most likely going to be his home
