And by “fix the lines” do you mean deaft a RT and acquire three new interior offensive linemen?

Or draft a LT to block for a lesser RB?
There's no fucking depth on the offensive line. The offensive line isn't fixed until there's adequate depth. Same thing on defense. The Bears don't have a complimentary edge rusher. They don't have depth and they have two defensive tackles on the wrong side of 30.

Good reason to go DL in 1. T's are young. Develop some interior OL guys.

People want to go RB because of what the Eagles did, but they forget about moves like drafting and sitting Jurgens for a year to develop. OL is the long term play and it requires patience.

I’d be happy with Graham, Campbell, Membou, Banks, Jeanty, Warren, or Simmons (hopefully after a trade back) in round 1.

People want to go RB because Jeanty is a top 3-5 player in the draft and he’d be BPA at a position of need. He’d be a major weapon for BJ and what he wants to do, and unfortunately, it’s a weak OT class. There are no elite level NFL LTs that will be there at 10. I don’t think there’s an elite LT in the entire draft, tbh. Prob a few average/slightly above average starters, but not an upgrade from what the bears currently have.

Its almost a guarantee that your offensive line wont play a full 17 games.

If thuney gets hurt and braxton isnt the same you are back to watching caleb get sacked every drive

So you don’t think any of these tackles will have better careers than Braxton or Kiran? Guess we shall see in a few years.

I do trust Roushar at least.

I know that and I agree with that and I posted that about a dozen times!

I am talking about at number 10.

I am very much in agreement with adding depth to the offensive line. I am always ok with that. I am not going to be upset if they draft a tackle at number 10. I am responding to the notion that only tackle at 10 should be considered.

Murray looked good in his short stint and Bates is solid... if he can play.

wouldn't mind the top 3, though I'd rather have Judkins. Probably take a DL at 72.

Oladejo is DL at 72.

I dont think this is 100% accurate. Barkley, Henry, lions and Buffalo run games (great rbs & OLs [outside of baltimores]) may have swayed people some but people also notice the bears rb room is fucking awful. Fortunately if they did go rb in 1 there is quite a few OL (& DL) they could take in rd 2 & 3 with those 3 picks that could contribute and develop as well.

I also agree with needing much more on the defensive line. Not just depth but quality top end.

See that would be one of the reasons I would be saying you don’t have to go offensive line at number 10 because you also need defensive line.

You can respond to someone who has the same views as you and make it into an argument. With you it’s an art form.

We absolutely can't rely on either but if you want to thats cool

Bates has played 140 snaps the last two years combined and Bill Murray is a random guy off the street who's played 42 snaps
