I would not find it very funny if they were in love with Braxton.

“He’s back from injury and miraculously now better.“ Ain’t gonna happen

If you’re not laughing at the Bears are you really a fan?

If Bears land Jeanty, Graham, or even take Grant at 10 I wouldn't be upset if they package both 39 and 41 to move back into 1st to nab someone like Conerly Jr.

I’d rather have three picks 10-41 than 2 in the first but that’s the fun of this thing. All of us have different perspectives.

I absolutely would as well except just my opinion i think this is a terrible draft and talent washes out pretty quickly after 1st rd. Give me a starter at 10 and LT in trading up. I can't go into season thinking Braxton Jones is going to be the guy coming off that injury

 

[DefNextYear]

Their best bet IMO is with Miami if they want to move up for a tackle. (Obviously I want a tackle so I wouldn’t do that)

I have this suspicion that someone would trade for Jeanty. I can almost leverage the Broncos against the Chargers to keep him away from the division rival.

I agree with you 100 percent on Jones. I want a LT in the worst way.

Fishbain and Jahns released their latest mock drafts this morning at The Athletic. They’re thinking like me at 10. Get a LT and Conerly could be an option if Banks is gone. Jahns selected him with Banks on the board.

Bears mock draft 3.0: Offensive tackle, tight end, running back or edge at No. 10?

Our final Bears mock draft assumes that Will Campbell, Ashton Jeanty and Mason Graham will all be gone before the 10th pick.

I'd be pretty disappointed with that Jahns draft. I can get past Conerly at #10 if they believe he's worth it and then of course he'd have to become an absolute legit starting LT but the rest of that draft would disappoint for me.

 

[DefNextYear]

He uses terrible terminology. He refers to teams “moving back in the first round”. Moving BACK sounds like trading down, But he means moving back INTO the first round by trading up, does he not?

I think the terminology is weird, but I think he does mean to move back cause I can't see why some of those teams want to trade back into the first round. The Vikings don't even have a 2nd round pick, so getting back into the 1st again would be insane. They'd have to give up a future 1st at minimum plus probably their 3rd and a bit more.

Yeah but not the immortal Greg Gabriel. He’s the end-all, be-all

 

[DefNextYear]

I might be on the same page, but there's a big part of me that really wants to be patient here. If the Bears can't land that LT without reaching... find a dude they truly love, I think it just have to come next year. I'd trade up next year if needed. It feels like there's bad value in moving from 39/41 to the late 1st this year given the grades are so equal. I get we want/need a LT though. It's an interesting spot to be in.

 

[DefNextYear]

I mean they're both already projected by some to go pretty damn high with Mykel having been projected to the Bears by some.

Based on McShay's latest video, I think he'll be off the board by the time the Bears pick. It feels like there's enough there to bet on him being a pick from 6-9.

Fuk that, i'm still hoping for a trade down. If not with the 10th pick then with one or even both of the 2nd rounders. I just can't stand that huge gap we have between pick #72 and pick #148. I love this 2nd round and the talent that should be there into the 50's.

 

[playthrough2001]

I could see the Bears offering 10 and 41 for 5 and 107 to draft Jeanty. I’m not a fan but if Schefter is right, they have to be thinking about it.

 

[DefNextYear]

I just did it too on DK. First Jags selection, WR +1500…

Damn, Fanduel wouldn't let me do position for the Jags. They have the 'player to be selected' option only. I think I got the same odds too.

There are few impact players in this draft. I would not blame them for trading up.

More picks in this draft seem to be a waste.

 

[dabears70]

I would not find it very funny if they were in love with Braxton.

“He’s back from injury and miraculously now better.“ Ain’t gonna happen

Why would it be miraculous if he was healthy in time to get some TC in and ready to go game 1?

 

[hebs]

Does anyone else feel that if they don't draft OT with the first pick, somehow the O-line will STILL be the reason this offense doesn't succeed next year? Like somehow the injury bug will fugg them up and the revolving door at Left Tackle will leave them fumbling with personnel changes early on and it will derail their season? lol

 

[dabears70]

If you’re not laughing at the Bears are you really a fan?

I find myself crying more but either or seems pretty Bear friendly.

So Mykel gone before pick 10? I really like him so he's one of the guys i'd love to be the pick at 10 and he's only 20 years old.

No way that is enough compensation to move from 10 to 5.
