Agree with most but lets wait and see what BJ gets out of Kmet next year because he could have Kmet with top 5 - 7 TE stats when the season is over if they don't use a high draft pick on a TE.
I would also like to see that. Kmet is better than what the Bears have gotten out of him, but the other two have higher ceilings. We honestly have no idea what BJ wants. I would be happiest if the Bears used their top 4 picks on a combo of OL/DL but I'm just not sure this draft lines up that way. You can't pass up superior talent because you are stubborn.

Yeah i agree that both Warren and Loveland have higher ceilings than Kmet but Kmet has more in him than we've seen so far IMO.

He hasn't had a ton of opportunity. I would be pissed if the pick was shemar but wouldn't be surprised
If S.Stewart can improve on one thing, which is finishing, he could be an absolute game wrecker.

I'm with you guys on this team just can't take that chance on a player especially at #10 but the guy is very intriguing.

Ben Johnson made his name as a TE coach. The Lions moved on from Hock and they spent a high pick on LaPorta. Ben Johnson has shown that he likes high end weapons and can utilize them well. This isn't hard to understand. I'm not saying they have to take a TE, but if you can't see how much more dynamic Warren and Loveland are then Kmet, you are just fixated on not taking a TE.

Ben Johnson made his name as an OC powered by a kick ass OL.

If he’s who I think he is as a coach he will value OL more than TE.

You mean the guy with 4.5 sacks for his entire College career?
That's the guy and is why i said, if he can become a finisher on his pass rushing, then he could be very good.

Danielle Hunter was just as bad as him with finishing and getting sacks and now he's a top DE in the NFL.

They acquired 3 high priced OL starters, are returning both starting tackles, and have 4 picks in the top 72. So, he only values OL if he uses the 10th pick on OL? Some are getting a little closed minded about the first rounder.

Yup, I will say this, his pressure rate on qb's was higher than Carters... So there is that.

Abdul Carter? That's what i'm saying. He just needs to learn how to finish. It sounds odd that someone can pressure the hell out of a QB but can't get his hands on him and get him to the ground so not sure how you fix something like that but if you can then the guy could absolutely dominate.

Can Dennis Allen fix that is the question. I'm not sure i'd want to take that chance at #10 but if it can be fixed he could end up the steal of the 1st round.
