What if they draft interior linemen?

Can’t imagine they won’t keep their best linemen, but maybe another reason to add to the many reasons to draft a lineman.

Jalon Walker is the wildcard, imo. He is such an enigma as a prospect. Insane athlete, who can do so many different things but still learning how to do at least one of them at an elite level. Very high ceiling. A little smaller than Micah but those comps have been made by a few people. Then the question of how he would fit in Allen’s offense.
Walker or Jeanty if both available?
When is this damn draft again?

It'll be nice to have depth for Jackson's inevitable injury and a replacement for Jackson if they move on from him due to health/performance concerns

I hope he runs tomorrow. That’ll cause a shakeup as high as the Patriots pick. If he doesn’t run, he shouldn’t even bother working out at all.

I'd take walker all day over the freaking running back.
Still hope jeanty is gone by the time the bears pick, but if they take him at #10 I wont be mad. He just better be a fringe pro bowler as a fucking rookie behind this oline, otherwise its a pointless pick. Most of the guys in the 2nd round would likely get similar production if he's not at that probowl level.

I agree with you. Obviously the hope would be you’re drafting a rb who will be among the league’s best if you’re taking that rb at 10.
Personally, I think he has the potential to be great. And if he does reach his ceiling, he’d be the best Bears back since Payton. If he eclipses like 1200-1500 yards from scrimmage and around 12 TDs, I think that is a valuable weapon to have.
But I’m also a huge fan of Grant, and like I said, Walker intrigues me, as well.

There isn't that much falloff in production from the RBs that will go in the second. I think they have to take an LT even if it's a guy without a high first round grade but who knows.

Give me Walker all day. Worst case, he’s a great LB for you. Best case, he’s getting you double digit sacks every year.
I’ll take Walker at 10 and Henderson at 39 over Jeanty at 10 and the best available edge at 39.

That’s what I want to know. I’m not sure he does

Same reason I would have been fine drafting Bowers last year if Rome wasn't there. If you have a chance to draft a blue chip player at 10 I will not be upset that we did.

I think Derrick Harmon is a possibility at 10.

Grant is a lock for the 1st round. Probably will be gone by 20.

If he is as good as some of us think, it’s hard to imagine him getting past Harbaugh at 22.

At 6:37 of this video, Matt Miller discusses Campbell, Membou, and Banks Jr. He says Banks Jr. is the BEST offensive lineman in this draft and being horribly overthought. No, I’m not Matt Miller but I agree 100 percent and have stated it here many times. Banks Jr. should be the pick at 10.
Banks Jr. is Miller’s number 8 overall prospect.
Bucky Brooks is another expert that recently spoke out against all the second guessing of Banks Jr.
Banks Jr. makes too much sense. Braxton is rehabbing and in a contract year. Kiran has never had a training camp and played at Yale. They need coverage at LT!!!
Thuney being the LG should help the rookie tremendously too.
