I don’t doubt the Bears would have interest in Wilson but I’d be fairly surprised if they selected him over Anderson. The narrative that Anderson doesn’t fit a 4-3 is a lot of nonsense, IMO. Not that you’re saying that per say, but Anderson would fit the defense just fine
You are right I never said Anderson doesn't fit in a 4-3 D, just that he does not fit this scheme as well as Wilson. With Poles interest in Wison I would not be surprised at all if he were chosen over Anderson. I mean what we are talking about is two of the top three defensive line prospects in this draft and there are pros and cons to picking either one.

2nd table has it. He has always been around 20%. It is a fundamental tenet that you try and generate a rush with just the front 4.
Oh for sure, I am up to date on the front 4. Sometimes you have a dynamic joker that makes a bigger difference mixing it up though and I don't really follow Indy to know if they had some sort of specialist at linebacker like that.

Either way, my favorite pass rusher in this draft is becoming Tuli Tuipulotu. I like an end that moves inside to tackle on third down, and I think he is the type to do it, and would hope to get him with an early second round pick resulting from trading out of #1 overall. I think that it would be far better than drafting a rushing linebacker for a 4-3 in most cases. Got a thought on that prospect?

Tyree Wilson has the edge bend of Frankenstein's monster. He is a quick strong guy with zero counter moves.That plays in the NFL about as well as a Yoko Ono single. He is 2023 Alonzo Spellman. He and Q.Johnson are going to be huge busts if they are picked top 10.

THIS. Perfect comp IMO.

Slow off the snap too

Tyree Wilson looked really good this year, and physically, you can't ask for a better specimen. I just feel like guys with his size and skillset don't have a lot of recent history of success in the NFL. You have to go back to like Ed "Too Tall" Jones for a successful guy with Wilson's body type. Jones obviously is a HOF (I think), but the current NFL game is predicated on speed, bend and change of direction skills and I'm not sure Wilson has enough to be more than a 6-8 sack guy at the NFL level.

6-8 sack guy is fine. But do you want that out of a top 10 pick? 4 of the top 10 in sacks (and 5 of the top 9 edge guys) this year weighed less than 250. And I know it's more to an edge guy than just sacks and Wilson will likely be a strong run defender with some flexibility to go inside, but I don't love him as a top 10 pick.
Julius Peppers was a big dude.

Hope it doesn't turn out like drafting Trubisky over Mahomes. I'm a T.Wilson fan and caught a ton of shit when i posted about him with a video of him over a month ago. Good to see some are coming around on him.

My biggest concern is the foot injury. Surgically repaired foot gives me KW flashbacks

I'm not sure Will Anderson Jr. will go down as a bust, but he too lacks bend and a lot of his statistical accumulation has come from him running down quarterbacks untouched. He certainly has that elite closing ability, but I don't really see his ability to get off blocks and create havoc. He got completely taken out of the game against Tennesseee.

I think there is a way to use him in the NFL that will let him shine, but it might come as a disappointment if people have Von Miller expectations.

@DaBears had to chime in even tho you didn’t mention him by name. You say @Anytime23 and he shows up, don’t even have to say it 3 times for it to work like beetle juice
or Candyman for that matter...

Honestly I am a big fan of Anderson Jr and Wilson equally. Wilson is getting my nod for the pick just slightly edging out Anderson Jr. due to being a better scheme fit.

I would imagine if Poles valued Wilson over Anderson then he probably should trade down if he is at a spot where Anderson is still available. I would not draft Wilson in the top 5.
