It’s either the biggest smokescreen ever or they’ll have to teach Ben how to play Poker.
I think a lot has to do with him showing a willingness to take Gibbs as early as he did. Lions don't do that without his influence.

"Highly possible" is not the same as probable. You suggest that they could draft a backup for every position on the oline with any of their top 3 picks... They "could" but I doubt that they extend both guards and sign a center.... AND draft backup IOL with any of their top 3 picks.

The only position that they "should" draft with a top 3 pick, is LT and I dont see the point of drafting a LT prospect with a premium pick if he isn't going to be at least average in year one.

As for DL, there is an obvious need for DT to compete with Billings, so I'm all for drafting one early. 3 tech & DE are much less of a need.
Ok I was responding to this.

#10, #39, #41... those are absolutely starter level premium picks year one.
My point was simply if they take an OL or DL with any of those picks there is no guarantee they are absolutely starters year 1.

Bears are in position to go BPA within reason IMO.

Doak Walker winner and Heisman runner up so...
That's from this year. This time last year, Ollie Gordon was the Doak Walker winner, and this year is widely considered a 3rd day pick.

the rich get richer

but hes too much of a headcase for non-contending teams, i guess?
Is he really a headache though? Or is this off-season nitpicking that people do to convince themselves that a good player isn't good enough?

Is Jeanty a better prospect than Bijan Robinson? I’d say hell no and honestly Robinson hasn’t really done much.
