Banks at 10

Everything he says about Banks is spot on.

 

[DefNextYear]

I’d take Conerly in this scenario, but there’s no way they’d pass on Jeanty at 10.

I do expect Jeanty is a lock in the top 10, which is fine. I won't overthink adding a fun player even though I think the Bears are better just picking best RB available at 39 or 41 if they want one that badly. I think the wild cards are really picks 7-9... I don't think the Jets or Panthers would take him, but I think any of the 3 would be really interested in a trade. I think the only real threat is the Cowboys in that case... If Poles/Ben can't live without Jeanty. No one else should be thinking about a trade that high. Can't mortgage the future for a RB.

The biggest dude was the first he inherited in NO and cut him the following year. I think he was 227lbs.

No wonder why they cut him. At 227 pounds, he had to get mauled on every snap!

 

[Discus fish salesman]

He’s a 5th year senior who broke out is last year in college.

It’s not really talked about enough in his evals IMO

It is worth noting that he was behind several other nfl TEs at Penn state I believe though

This is a pretty cool chart. Decent way to see draft value in terms of pay vs. the position

damnit... fixed

Well now I’m busy looking for 227 pound Nose Tackles. I think I might have found one at Woodstock North. He’s not draft eligible!

The route at 51 seconds is the same one Keenan Allen used on Thanksgiving to score an easy TD against the Lions. Wicked!

I really like Burden. I think he's going to be a really good pro, but he's one of the many that have had football character concerns. Been a weird year that way.

It is worth noting that he was behind several other nfl TEs at Penn state I believe though

Not really. For comparison, Bowers was the unquestioned starter pretty much the second he walked into Athens as a freshman. And everyone knew it. The fact Warren had to sit behind those guys-guys that would have had to fetch Bowers water-should concern folks that he didn’t really produce until year 5.

Point is, Warren isn’t even in the same galaxy as a prospect, and except for me and some others, a lot of people thought Bowers shouldn’t have been drafted as early as he was right after the draft.

Warren is one of the few picks at 10 that would be incredibly stupid, imo.

It's been talked about a lot. Friermuth, Brenton Strange, and Theo Johnson were all there before him and were drafted the last three years. They've had a ton of TE talent and bad passing offenses. He had 422 yards and 7tds the year before with another NFL TE on the roster and a team that passed for like 2500 yards

Elite TEs don’t need to wait any amount of time sitting behind those players you listed.

Egbuka is supposed to be an amazing young guy. Top notch character and talent…

 

[Washington]

Egbuka is supposed to be an amazing young guy. Top notch character and talent…

I believe he ends up being the best WR in this draft class. I am really hoping he doesn't end up in GB. I believe GB would go CB before WR but WR would probably be their next option.

CCS Feed
Braxton Jones gets firm endorsement from Chicago Bears offensive line coach

From the article:
“He’s a phenomenal man,” ( Dan) Roushar said. “He’s got unbelievable character. I see the work ethic. I’ve watched him rehab since I’ve been here, from the morning to early afternoon, he is working and making strong improvements right now. I think he’s an overachiever. I think he will continue to improve. That’s our job collectively to get the best out of him.”
------
"Holding the No. 10 overall pick in the draft, the Bears will have numerous top flight offensive linemen to choose from. At the top of the list are LSU’s Will Campbell and Missouri’s Armand Membou. Campbell, despite his short arms, is a proven commodity at tackle and considered the best lineman in the draft. Membou holds a level of athleticism not many offensive lineman do. He is climbing up draft boards as a prime example of what teams want in the next wave of offensive linemen."

Bowers was a man amongst boys from day 1 and this was when the SEC was still the unquestioned king.

Didn’t the bears not hire a coach due to a mock presser??
