Offensive linemen​

I wouldn’t be surprised if more than a quarter of the first round is devoted to offensive linemen. At tackle, I’d view LSU’s Will Campbell, Missouri’s Armand Membou and Texas’s Kelvin Banks Jr. as first-round locks. At guard, I see Alabama’s Tyler Booker and North Dakota State’s Grey Zabel that way. After that, I think Oregon OT Josh Conerly, Ohio State OT Josh Simmons, Ohio State G Donovan Jackson and Arizona G Jonah Savaiinaea have a great shot to land in the first round. And Georgia C Jared Wilson has an outside chance to make it 10 offensive linemen in the first 32 picks.

-Breer

Breer is a tard. That many OL aren't going in round 1.

I would take Kayvon for 72 in a heartbeat.

Is Kayvon in the last year of his deal?

 

[hebs]

I like all those players... I actually really JT for this team. He's my favorite edge considering draft position and everything.

I will say I don't think the Bears will take Tyleik. I posted before, but Allen hasn't had a guy 330lbs in the last decade. The biggest dude was the first he inherited in NO and cut him the following year. I think he was 227lbs. Of his top rotation players (3 positions, each year), I think 5 were over 315 lbs. So that's 5/30 or about 17%. They never led the team in snaps and were last (of 3) in 3 of those 5. I'd love to be wrong though, cause I like both Grant and Tyleik... but I'd bet against them taking a 330 lb DT.

TBH, I'd be happy if they got Jack Sawyer in the 3rd.

i know, i know...homer time....but, if im the bears and i can buy low on Jalin Hyatt...i consider it

adding that speed in the slot and getting plus matchups deep down field thanks to teams focusing on DJ and Rome, seems beneficial to me. dunno what it takes, but id wager a 6th or 7th round pick used to trade for him would yield more value than whomstever they would draft in that spot

Homer Simpson is that you???

I actually liked Hyatt a lot coming out, but he has something like 400 yards in 2 seasons. I get the QB situation has been bad, but that’s not good and probably doesn’t warrant even a late round pick.

see, i wasnt high on hyatt coming out. felt he was a 4th - 5th round pick range quality

but, he hasnt seen the field much in NY and hte QB position has been dreadful there. for a 6th or 7th round pick, i would take that flier and add his speed to the offense

Generally I couldn’t care less about 6th or 7th round picks, so I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. This year though, I think they could be valuable if used on a RB. I wouldn’t be opposed to taking 2 this year if the Bears missed out on Jeanty. Like one 2nd or 3rd round RB and another 6th or 7th possibly. Either way, it’s pretty whatever for me if they went the Hyatt trade route

You think they’re drafting more than one rb?

 

[Enasic]

I said I wouldn’t be opposed if they missed out on jeanty. Like if they went skattebo in round 3, I could see then drafting a speedy and more athletic RB in round 7 if they liked someone.

God I hope we don't draft Skattebo, much less in the 3rd round. Tons of miles on that dude and he's slower than David Montgomery.

Time to flip the table on the established narratives now that we're 4 days away.

I don't see why the jags pass on Mason Graham and if they do I don't see how he falls to 10

I heard someone else talking about how it's such a traits-driven league and Graham is an average athlete at best, so teams might shy away that high in the draft. Seems unlikely to me, but if he's there at 10, I think you run the pick in with a big smile on your face.

The jags starting DT last year had like 5 pressures.

They drastically need to upgrade DT to make that defense at least someone respectable. No clue how the eff they can pass on him

If both graham and jeanty are there at #10, and the bears pick jeanty I will be very upset

 

[Applefan]

That's the whole point of what I'm saying. The person I quoted said it's "thin in starters" and I disagree. I think there should be 3 starts, minimum from this draft. That's reasonable in any draft. I'm not calling it a special draft. I'm more so saying it's not as bad as people are saying it is.

I said I wouldn’t be opposed if they missed out on jeanty. Like if they went skattebo in round 3, I could see then drafting a speedy and more athletic RB in round 7 if they liked someone.

Really depends on whether or not the training and coaching staff believes Ian Wheeler hasn't lost speed due to his knee injury.

Agree 100%. I think the Raiders would grab him. Maybe I'm missing it, but I don't think McShay even actually says Mason will be there for the Bears. He ends it saying Ashton and Warren.

 

[DefNextYear]

Honestly, we know the established narratives are garbage. I've said for over a month now that the Raiders make no sense for Jeanty. People saying the Jags now are just as crazy... maybe just slightly less crazy I guess.

I’ve said it before, but my probably unpopular opinion is the he benefited a helluva lot more being next to Grant on that DL than Grant did being next to him.

I think Grant ends up being the more impactful pro player.

@playthrough2001 sounds like someone already thinks he has a new #2 WR, lol. Rookie HC...
