Saquon was drafted to a dumpster dive franchise.

Good thing Jeanty would be going to a great franchise like the Bears right?

I’m sure it will go so much better here right?

Fix the lines first. The Bears aren’t ready to draft a guy like Jeanty.

And by “fix the lines” do you mean deaft a RT and acquire three new interior offensive linemen?

Or draft a LT to block for a lesser RB?

You don't just take a LT in round 1 if there are much better players available. Personally I think banks is arguably the top player that will be available but I'm not in the FO.

Also, lol @ thuney struggling. More like insurance in case of injury

It seems like NFL teams do though. They get bumped up because of scarcity like QBs do. There is a reason our GM keeps taking about “premium” positions

Don’t get me wrong. I won’t mind if they draft a LT. I would like that.

I just think it’s faulty to think that’s the only way to go.

The OL isn’t finished. Not by a long shot. Need a LT. Then you need young guys to develop.

Agreed. But reaching at 10 if it comes to that is not preferable to adding a blue chip player elsewhere if available.

They addressed 3 positions on the OL. If they get a LT worth the pick I will be happy and they do need depth but not at 10. You keep talking like they have 4 holes on the OL.

3 holes IMO. Starting LT and 2 interior depth guys.

You guys keep acting like the new RG and center never get hurt.

(And Thuney isn’t extended yet either)

For the record, I'm all about building the trenches and am not bought in with Jeanty @10. But I'm not going to whine about it either because if that were to happen, he'd very likely be the best of the rest.

Yeah i'm not gonna get mad at the Bears drafting BPA which would easily be Jeanty if the draft goes the way most think it will.

It's pretty damn close, at least for the next couple of years anyway. Just need to keep adding to it in each draft but don't think we have to draft LT at #10.

The way I look at it is there are only about 7-10 truly elite LTs in the NFL. Those guys just don’t grow on trees. After those 7-10 guys, you have a bunch of league average/slightly above average which is where I’d put Braxton.

Do I think any OT at 10 is going to be in the “truly elite” tier? No…I think youre looking at the Braxton tier. If there was a Joe Alt prospect available, that would be another story, but you can’t will those players into existence just because you want an elite LT. They’re just not there this draft and likely won’t give you an upgrade over your current starter.
