Yep, sort out Braxton and Paris and have your book ends for years to come. Also, might as well add his teammate Wypler and complete the OL

One Bills guy thought he would be a day 3 pick to free up the 10 mil in cap space. If that is all it takes to add Oliver, Bears have to do it.

Since Poles has been shut out in the offseason RT market and the top three tackle prospects may well be sitting there at #9 that seems like a no brainer for Poles. As for C it could be Ricky Stromberg who Poles had in for one of those 30 player visits this past week.

They need room for Randall Cobb. Which is ridiculous.

Yeah I have zero idea what he’s worth. Seen everything from 3rd day pick to swapping 1sts. (Hell no to that)
But I don’t know much about him as a player.

On the one hand, I agree with you due to the perceived need on the OL. However, on the other hand, there’s a lot to be said for premium value positions. So, if you’re into the moneyball shit, you know that getting a high value position on a rookie deal for a prorated period of time is a win.
I would be fine with Gonzalez due to his unteachable physical traits. What he would give us in the secondary is mind bending.

Oliver was one of the best players in the AAC when he was at Houston. He was a game wrecker in college. He’s a real good pro. He’d immediately be the best d lineman on the Bears.

If you were going to take a skill position over OL/DL who would you rather have JSN or Robinson??? For me it would be Robinson every time.

He only had 2.5 sacks last season BUT paired with Andrew Billings who is a LOAD at NT, maybe that interior gets disruptive.

Yep, at least creating interior pressure. Not giving QBs room to step up makes the DEs job getting home a little easier as well.

My thoughts exactly. Gonzalez is such a smooth mover and he has excellent length. Just love the upside there to be an elite NFL CB.
Witherspoon is probably still my CB1 (or 1A). He simply had the best tape of all the CBs and with CB in particular, I value that more than anything else. He doesn't have elite size, which is fine, I compare him to Jaire Alexander a lot, and his size hasn't been an issue. But I do think Gonzalez is more "unique" so I value him more as a top 10 pick than Witherspoon....if that makes any sense.

Now they have to go get some DEs though lol. But any move like this that allows them to get Bijan, a couple OL and then DE for the rest of the picks is cool with me.

I’d take JSN. There are some really good backs in this draft. I think Bijan is a stud, but I’ve also seen him get shut down. TCU made him a complete non factor in the run and pass game. Bama too…
His K State game was pretty impressive. They were a tough team with some legitimate NFL prospects on D.
