I literally gave reasons that people have concerns about with Banks in the post you replied to. Numbers aren't everything for college lineman. Larry Borum never gave up a sack as a tackle in the SEC. Sark's system is friendly to tackles. The concerns people have are related to traits on film that are concerns that could be problematic facing NFL pass rushers. He's falling pretty consistently on draft boards. Could be nothing, but dumb to just ignore them. The Bears absolutely have to draft 1-2 OL in this draft. Just doesn't have to be stubbornly at 10. Reaching to draft at a position is how you end up passing superior talent and drafting busts. Happens every year.

Actually, the only thing I am talking about is competition at a position of need, which could be LT, DE, DT in my opinion. The thing about BPA at #10 in this draft is in the eye of the beholder. The way I see it is the talent level between 10 to 20 is pretty equal and Banks does fit that profile, as does whoever you like at 10.

If the bears took him, my guess is he'd play SAM linebacker on early downs and rush the passer on passing downs.

Prob still play about 40% of the snaps doing the above until he develops into a better pass rusher.

Not crazy to think they'd take him as they still dont have a SAM. Yes, its pretty much a redundant position in todays nfl but they still do play 20-25% of the time.

I'm not too familiar on DA's defense but i hear he likes to send guys from all over the field(corner,safety,linebacker) and drop a dlineman into coverage. In those scenarios walker could be great

I would be surprised is Walker made it to 10.

So... take your word for it that Ben Johnson said Tyler Warren is redundant to Cole Kmet and he said that better options will be available at #39....


Checks out.

I'm sure it's buried somewhere amongst the hours of Hoge and Johns podcasts.

Bruh wtf are you on about, it was their guest Eric Edholm which was what I was responding about. Idk why you are so defensive about your TE Tyler Warren. Do you need to hire someone to teach you how to use Google?

PS: Still waiting on your list of TE's drafted top 10

Yea, who knows, but they've been a heavily rumored team for a QB for a couple weeks now. McShay mocked Dart to them the other day. On their message board, 7 of the 8 top threads are QB related. They also already had a "Dart or Sanders" poll thread that's days old (they prefer Dart). So the fans have been thinking a lot about QB already prior to this news. Of course, that doesn't mean the FO will actually draft a QB, but I'm guessing the fans have been seeing a lot of it on their end and this just pushes it more in that direction.

It would suck for my dynasty team though... I have Rattler...

I misread who you were quoting, I'll apologize for that one.

Spencer may start the first half of the season while Dart watches.
Actually, Shough would be the most pro ready of the 3.

honestly if they are interested in dart it may be via trade up then after taking a guy at #9 who is BPA.

their 2nd and 2 3rd's are enough to jump to 20 and take dart there in front of pittsburgh

He never said that BJ said that. Get your panties out of a bunch. It’s like I said, Warren is a better version of Kmet

In college. Warren could easily be ass, just like most drafted tight ends.

Remember that lapoopa draft? It was loaded with TE's and He wasnt even a top 5 TE on bruglers beast but ended up the best one.

I'm pretty confident that some other TE will be a much better pro than warren in this draft.

For them, I think they take BPA and wait until next year for a QB, or throw the hail mary and take Dart.

I’m not too impressed with Ward or Sanders, and from a pure talent perspective, Dart has a better shot at making it than either of those two. And that’s still kind of a long shot. Lets you know what I think of this year’s QB class.

Walker is an intriguing prospect. When I watch him play, I see a guy that is really good in many areas, but not truly elite in any. Obviously I can be completely wrong about that.

His athleticism is off the charts though. If used correctly and if he refines some things, sky high ceiling for him.

The bears defense is slow overall, they struggle containing athletic QBs as we saw against DC. Walker is actually elite when containing and spying against those type of QBs.

He is also a great blitzer so Allen can draw up exotic packages with him. I would love him or Mike Green as an option too.

Yeah, Walker would be a good pick. His true value lies in his athleticism allowing him to be used as a chess piece, either attacking via a variety of fronts, spying, or dropping back in coverage.

He does need to work on parts of his game. Athleticism alone allowed him to win a lot in college. That won’t happen in the pros most of the time.
