Right now, 4 QBs are being mocked in the Top 4 or 5 picks in many mocks, and in one recently by these same guys, 5 QBs went Top 8. Plus Anderson and Carter are highly considered. Paris is mocked Top 10 more often than not. So it's not like hm being LT is only one guy's vision.
And thinking an OT everyone considers Top 10 won't be as likely to start at LT as our guy who was tops in pressures allowed is also silly. Jones is going to continue to improve but that doesn't mean LT is his forever. PJJ would be as likely to be LT as RT.

A number of draft “experts” make their selections for the Bears in the first two rounds.
Here’s a few from the tweet below:
“Curt Popejoy, Draftwire (April 3)
1-9: Ohio State offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr.
2-53: Florida defensive tackle Gervon Dexter
2-61: USC edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu”
Michael Renner, Pro Football Focus (April 4)
1-9: Tennessee tackle Darnell Wright
Comment: Wright comes as the most experienced right tackle in the draft and gives Chicago a scary offensive line in the run game.
2-53: LSU edge rusher BJ Ojulari
Comment: The Bears get the edge defender in this class who won the superlative from PFF for the "best pass-rushing moves." Once Ojulari gets a little stronger, he can be an impact player.
2-61: Auburn edge rusher Derick Hall
Comment: The Bears are not leaving the 2023 NFL Draft without addressing their defensive line in a big way (and they're not done in this one). Hall has high-end explosiveness with good length for the position to be a pocket collapser across from BJ Ojulari, who is more of a finesse rusher.
Chad Reuter, NFL.com (March 24)
1-9: Texas running back Bijan Robinson
Comment: I don't blame teams avoiding running backs in the top 10 because of how many injuries occur at the position -- but the Bears could make an exception for Robinson. His combination of power, speed, shiftiness and receiving ability make him a potential star in the Christian McCaffrey mold.
2-53: Syracuse offensive tackle Matthew Bergeron
2-61: Mississippi State cornerback Emmanuel Forbes
Todd McShay, ESPN (April 4)
1-9: Northwestern offensive tackle Peter Skoronski
Comment: The Bears could address the edge rush -- perhaps with Van Ness -- after closing out the 2022 season at the bottom of the league in sacks. However, they need to maximize quarterback Justin Fields, and that means protecting him. And while there are concerns about Skoronski's 32¼-inch arm length, his quickness, balance and snap in his hands stand out.
2-53: UCLA running back Zach Charbonnet
Comment: The Bears brought in D'Onta Foreman with David Montgomery off to Detroit, but I like the value on Charbonnet at this point in Round 2 as another contributor in the run game. He's a patient runner with good contact balance and can be a three-down back in the NFL, even though he lacks breakaway speed.
2-61: Tennessee defensive lineman Byron Young
Comment: The Bears had just 20 sacks last season, and bringing in Young would get them going in the right direction. He had seven sacks in his final season at Tennessee, and his 36 pressures tied for 22nd in the nation. He quickly re-directs and has an explosive lower body, but he's still raw when it comes to technique.”

I agree but still absolutely love the idea of Wright being a Bear on the 27th.

I could easily see the bear not taking any of those 'expert' selections.

Charbonnet in the 2nd is asinine. He’s a dime a dozen RB. Can find similar talents all the way to round 7.

So his source, the Uber eats driver that delivers his Arby's Cheddar melts, steered him wrong.

Bigger in length or girth? I've been told inch can make all the difference in the world.
