Pass on Floyd. Playing with Aaron Donald can make anyone look good. Bears don’t have a Donald in the interior.

Suppose that Poles cant find a partner to trade down in the first round another time, and he values an OL that is deemed a reach over a DL that would make the defense work far better. Where are you guys on the "reach" at tackle to ensure Fields stays healthy?
I ask because I am of the opinion that Broderick Jones would be the best pick in the first round as it stands. I know he started at LT at Georgia so either he could push Braxton Jones to the right or move to the right side himself. All the same, I am coming around on the idea that he is the best prospect at tackle in the draft for Chicago given that Poles aims for the more athletic linemen.

Big fan of 4 of your first 5 picks Dejo. And shockingly, the OSU player isnt the one I dislike. What do you see in the LSU rusher that makes you want to draft him?

I keep hearing alot of depending on Jenkins. IMO he is a liability with that back injury. I couldn't see counting on him til he shows he cam play a full season.

The Bears certainly do not have Aaron Donald on the interior, but Floyd is considerably better than what the Bears can currently trot out there. Again, he’s not the answer. It would not be a big commitment. It’s to fill a hole and improve the overall roster.
Plus, as great as Donald is, he’s not the sole reason Floyd has had 20.5 sacks over the last two years. He has talent. That’s just a simple justification to try to dismiss Floyd.

Pash rusher might be the biggest weakness on the team right now. We literally have no one who can get home. Floyd would at least provide a presence. Yeah he is not a solution long term and they still need to draft someone but he could help the Bears. Depends on the deal.

I think 9-15 may go heavy on OL, a few have mentioned that as the sweet spot

Still raw, but twitchy. Saw a breakdown recently and was sold on the upside play.

Broderick Jones looks very good on tape. His RAS is high too.

Floyd is a better rusher standing up from the backer position and has primarily been cleaning up broken plays etc rather than forcing the issue. This D wants a hand on the ground sudden of the snap end. Floyd can do it but he won't be as effective there. He had a lot of sacks last year but if you watch them, it's on plays where he cleaned up or wasn't accounted for. There's a couple exceptions like when he beat McGlinchey (who showed why he wasn't worth his signing) but even that was from off the line where he was already at speed.
I mean, it's like some here don't remember his play here. He's a VG player but he's not a get you with that 1st step off the snap guy and he's not bulling an NFL T. He's a momentum rusher.

When I see him play, I feel like I am watching a future rotational rush linebacker for a 3-4 defense. If he can develop, sure, he could be really good because the athletic traits are there. Dont you think he is a bit small to be a 4-3 end?

The lack of interest in signing a Center tells me they will likely draft one in round 2. It looks like a pretty deep draft at that position this year.

This is where I am on BJ Ojulari. I’m thinking that, more and more, they may go to a more control the LOS kind of D that allows the LB to attack. So, they’ll need bigger bodies at DE, especially LDE. It’s also why I wasn’t so high on Anderson.

I like him but he projects more to LT then RT. Usually the LT is more athletic to deal with the more athletic pass rushers that are on the QB's blindside. RT is usually less athletic but more brute strength that can help in run blocking because usually the DT and DE's on the strongside are bigger and more physical to be stout against the run and more often than not the TE lines up next to the RT on what is considered the "strong side". Right tackles are usually maulers who excel in run blocking because the best pass rusher on the other team lines up on the weakside, the QBs blindside.

I want CJ Gardner Johnson but i'm sure his price range is way out of what Poles wants to pay right now. He's only 25 and that dude brings it on defense.

I think they want Gordon at nickel so they'd probably only be interested in an outside corner.
