Shows the Bears are all in on improving the edge position too. (Which most of us knew already. But just more confirmation)

#5 = 1700 points
#10 + #72 = 1530 points.
Adding a future 3rd in there might get the job done if they're desperate enough to move down and pick up more picks. But yea, I don't do that for Jeanty, I do that for Graham only. Then you're looking at adding to the O-line and scooping up your RB with #39 and #41.

I see how this worked out for the Bears, but I've heard a lot of times that Banks' floor is the Dolphins. If that's Poles' real target, it's dangerous to move behind them. If Mason truly fell that far, I can see the logic of "I'll get at least Banks or Graham", but I can't see that really happening. Someone may move up and scoop Mason. It's also a hell of a gamble at 10 to assume Nolen and Booker go 11 and 12.Peter Schrager has the Bears trading 10 for 14 and 80.
14. Chicago Bears (via projected trade with IND)
Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
Banks could end up going before Membou as the top tackle in this class. He has the better tape and is more consistent. If the Bears trade back and still get him, that's a major win.

Nolen over Graham? Seems unlikely. And you're right, if Banks isn't there then what's the backup plan? Conerly?

You've probably seen an advanced copy of the script, and while I know there are rewrites until the last minute, who does the league have the Bears taking?

Will someone with ESPN see if there’s anything interesting in this?

Why would the Raiders take banks over membou?

The infamous pretty Ricky dropped this nugget yesterday and now McShay has mocked him top 10. The odds at the moment at +1100 that Nolen is a top 10 pick. Any degenerates out there, those seem like solid odds.

For what it's worth, I think Jeremiah said they're also looking at Banks. Sounds like McShay and him are hearing similar things. Also:
Many rate Armand Membou higher, but Raiders general manager John Spytek and part-owner Tom Brady, who is very much involved in this decision, are big on culture, and Banks is one of the highest-character players in the draft. He would immediately compete for the starting job at right tackle or guard. Left tackle Kolton Miller is entering the final year of his contract, so this pick would represent a short-term upgrade with long-term flexibility built in.
Edit: Here's where Jeremiah first mentioned it

If I need a RT, I'd rather just take membou. If they needed a LT I'd understand hesitation with membou but they don't. Membou is just a better prospect. His strength is unmatched by the other OTs and his athleticism is ridiculous. He also doesn't have a balance issue that shows up. Just needs coached up on technique

Maybe the bears will move to 5 for 10 and two 7th rounders!
