It sounds like Trice would have been the pick. From Fishbain:
A quad injury cut Amegadjie’s senior season short and kept him from playing in the Senior Bowl. That limits his tape against FCS opponents to begin with, but his size stands out. He tied Georgia’s Amarius Mims for the longest arms among the draftable tackles, at 36 1/8 inches.
“He’s a special talent,” Koziol said. “He’s got really rare physical traits. I think he’s a player that’s on the ascent.”
“You love the tools that he has,” Poles said. “His pass pro is really good. Love his length, hand usage. And a big man that we believe is going to continue to get bigger and more explosive, so it should really increase the competition on our offensive line and make everyone better.”
Koziol believes Amegadjie has “starter potential” and wouldn’t rule out the rookie winning a job on the offensive line.
Amegadjie could “potentially” challenge left tackle Braxton Jones, Poles said, but “probably not Year 1.” The Bears want their offensive linemen to be more versatile, so Amegadjie will begin as a swing tackle who can also play inside.
Poles did reiterate an organizational philosophy: “We don’t really want to put a ceiling on him.”

“4. Amegadjie’s fit on the O-line
As the Bears awaited their pick, they had a need on the defensive line. When Bralen Trice, the Washington edge rusher, was selected one pick before them, they went with the highest guy on their board, Poles said.A quad injury cut Amegadjie’s senior season short and kept him from playing in the Senior Bowl.

I doubt Booker gets drafted by the Bears. He tested incredibly poorly. I don’t see it happening.
Khyree Jackson! That would be a great pick!

I think Cam Hart would be the homerun pick we need.

I can’t pretend to know who these players really are so I’ll just hope their bpa can rush the qb or play interior oline.

I know they were sniffing around Leonard Taylor pre draft. Still available.
I like Brennan Jackson and Cedric Johnson at edge. Mo Kamara too

I think it’s safe to say we found a starter at WR, but I wouldn’t mind getting a speedster like Tutu Griffin. Also, I’d like to see them get a big back to close out games with. Finally, the Hback/Flex TE would be a great role to fill here.

I’ll be shocked if they draft another WR.
There’s still good OL and DL available. Haven’t looked into safeties but that’s always a possibility too

Calais Campbell, who is 38, had 8 sacks last year and a PFF grade of 80. Carl Lawson and Emmanuel Ogbah are also still unsigned.
The Bears did sign Jake Martin as a depth piece who can be a situational speed rusher opposite Sweat. Obviously need more there and DT.
It was interesting that the Commanders drafted Johnny Newton in the 2nd. Jonathan Allen may be available via late season trade like Sweat was last year.

Those two are probably my best guess too.
Campbell may retire so not sure there. Would be a great get though

It was a good year to have 2 top ten picks and not much else. No reason to clutter the roster with a bunch of late rounds picks in a shallow draft year.
Now I'm wondering if the lack of picks was a coincidence or if Poles is really that smart and foresaw a shallow draft and no need for those picks.

Again. A CB doesn't make sense unless he can return kicks like McQuarters/Azumah/Hester.

I could see them bringing in Campbell as a vet presence and as part of a rotation. Dude is probably going to be a coach someday.

Pretty sure Keenen Allen knows Campbell from Pro Bowls. Maybe he can help recruit him.

Whoever they get I’m sure they don’t want to spend 10 mil a year on after the shitty value they got on last years after draft addition.
