So It's not always BPA for the Bears but mostly per Cunningham.

I'd be happy with Van Ness at #9.

Van Ness is dating Cole Kmet's sister. If they do draft him hopefully it's not a lot of drama between them two.

A 1st Rd. Tackle with Gibbs might perform better than Bijan with a 2nd Rd. Tackle. I think everyone is anticipating all the best talent at OT going before the Bears current-best second round pick.
I would personally be content if Poles drafted only OL this year, if only to get enough talent in the room to adequately protect Fields.

I didn't know that. Not worried about dating drama, i'm worried about having guys that can get to the QB and Van Ness can do that.Van Ness is dating Cole Kmet's sister. If they do draft him hopefully it's not a lot of drama between them two.

Right?!? That’s the most laughable tale I’ve seen in this draft season, and that includes a Tyson Bagent skyrocketing up draft boards in the early draft season!
Gibbs can’t break arm tackles and barely runs inside. He’s a 3rd round scat back. People sleeping on Bijan, but Gibbs in the second is way too much value!
Bijan Robinson is good enough to have changed PFF’s mind. Yeah, Gibbs — not so much!

No. This is a bad take. Real bad.
A second round RT would be fine. That is all we need. Please. This is a terrible draft for OL talent. Gibbs wouldn’t do much for us at all. There’s no reason to take him with the backfield we have, other than as a 3rd down back, and I’d prefer Deuce Vaughn in the fifth or later for the same shit.
Nah, man. Take a RT in the second line the kid out of Syracuse l, and we are fine for the next five years plus with the offensive weapon Bijan’ll bring.

Lots of money went in on Carter to the Seahawks, he's now the favorite to go there.
Plenty of talent on the DL in the second round, give me a top flight tackle for Justin. 2023 will be a lot of fun.

First Gurley was supposed to be the bestest. Then Fournette. Even Saquon hasn’t proven to be worthy of a top 5 pick. You don’t draft RBs that high

The bad take is saying this line will be fine.
The priority should be placed on protecting Fields. I'm with you that Robinson is a first round worthy, dynamic RB. But settling for just fine on OL is inexcusable with what we saw last year.

Yeah, and it seems the more "high performance" the RB, the faster they get run down. Those Ferraris aren't known for reliability... haha

This is pretty much what you said last year and they won three games. Now you're here saying that because the Bears added a corpse and a solid number two wide receiver plus a new starting guard that its top ten or bust? Not really buying it man.

The kid out of Syracuse is being discussed as a OG, not a tackle. If you want a solid OT, you need to pull the trigger in round 1, likely at picks 9 thru 12. I realize you place limited importance on a OT, and view RBs as game changers. In looking at running backs selected in the top 10 since 2013, you see Saquon Barkley (#2) in 2018. Leonard Fournette (#4) and Christian McCaffrey (#8) in 2017. Ezekiel Elliot (#4) in 2016 - BTW, the Cowboys placed an emphasis on the OL, and Todd Gurley (#10) in 2015. So who were the game changers in this bunch, who can run behind a shit OL, and not get hurt? Most of these guys did get hurt. If Bijan goes to Philly, which has the other pieces in place (hint hint OL and DL) it is a great pick, but not for this Bear team.

Nah. There is a good LT, a great RG, a good LG, and we have two, if not 3 answers at C already on the roster, so quit the chicken little shit. We basically need a starting caliber RT. We may already have that with JaTyre Carter. So, a powerful run blocking, road grading RT in the 2nd would be lit, minty fresh goodness.
Bijan is the BEST pick we can get as offensive weapons for Fields is the primary goal.

You do have Ezekiel Elliott in there who did live up to it during his rookie contract. Reaching back I would say Adrian Peterson still looms as an example of things going so well that even if its a little dated its still relevant.

The primary goal if for Fields to survive and develop. Well, Bijan could be the first player at his side after he repeatedly gets sacked, and either blows out a knee or has multiple concussions. Even the great Walter Payton needed an OL and DL to help the Bears become great.

This OL take is laughably bad. I like bijan a lot, but you're takes on OL come off as clueless. I think jatyre Carter is an interesting iOL prospect who could become a nice piece but I'm certainly not banking on him (a small school guy, that they weren't willing to let get any game action in a tank season)to be a starter anytimesoon. It appears you are blinded to serious issues due to your bijan obsession

I'd accept it with a wait and see but happy is a bit strong. Somewhat satiated.I'd be happy with Van Ness at #9.
