Ok.

Hopefully Ben Johnson doesn't agree with your nonsense.
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?

Why would the Raiders take banks over membou?
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

FYI for the board.

We could possibly hear some last-minute intel that he's been hearing which would affect his selections.

Jesus, how the **** did this guy run the bears scouting department?

He's legit a fucking moron. Can't even tell if the photo is altered. Really buddy?
Gabriel is definitely a moron but he’s absolutely right when it comes to length/wingspan for OTs. Worst kept secret in the NFL, but it 100% matters. There is a minimum threshold for both, and Campbell simply doesn’t meet the bar…wingspan in particular

I can’t believe the number of Bears fans that are suggesting trading up for Jeanty.
Yeah i'm down for Jeanty at #10 but trading up and at the very least giving up one of those two 2nd round picks is crazy for me. If this wasn't such a deep RB class then maybe i would think different cause Jeanty is going to be such a great weapon for whoever drafts him but it is and i'd rather just grab one of T.Henderson, Judkins, K.Johnson or even wait and grab one in the 5th, and if we did that i'd be all for using one of the 7th round picks on another one.

Yea, I like Membou a lot. I think he's easily the best combo of floor and ceiling.
