After reading thru this thread it’s clear most are underrating Ben Johnson. Worried about the value of a player he’d be hand selecting for his offense. IF the Bears took Tyler Warren, there would obviously be a plan to maximize his value.
I am not underestimating the Bears coach or GM and I am certainly not one of those fans who thinks he's smarter. Not at all.
I do agree that if they pick Warren, they feel it's the right pick.
But remember, every single draft pick that didn't work out was made by experienced talent evaluators. It's not that anyone thinks they don't know their job. It's simply a realization of how it's no sure thing no matter how much work you do and how much tape you watch.
It's not that I would not like Warren on the team, I would, and if picked I will hope he becomes a great NFL player. I just think there are other players at other positions that will offer more, and I don't expect the Bears will pick Warren.
