Official NFL Draft Thread - Bear Fans ONLY - NFL Scouts had Banks as a top ten prospect at OT

[Discus fish salesman]

LOL. That’s as bad a take as the people that overhype him.

His production is pathetic and he isn't good against the run or pass

Not disputing any of that but saying 5th or 6th round is ridiculous

The idea that Braxton Jones is going to cause issues and have a bad attitude is laughable. He's really high character and intelligent player. Honestly those are two of his best attributes.

The Bears could trade him if they take LT at 10 and they get a decent offer for him, but I'm not concerned about him being an issue. He'll compete for the job and then go get a nice payday in FA next offseason.

If you aren't sure the LT you draft at 10 can beat out Jones, you should not draft that guy.

You don't draft a LT at 10 to compete with Jones. That would be absurd.

I'm staying on DE/Edge being our biggest need right now and hoping that's the way we go in the 1st round.

I'm really intrigued by both Mike Green and James Pearce Jr as long as the character checks work out with both of them. The whole thing with they aren't the right size for a Dennis Allen defense is hopefully false cause he should be able to find the best way to use a guy at 248 pounds as he can a guy at 265 pounds. Put him on the end and tell him to get the damn QB. I don't care if they're standing up or their hand is in the dirt.

Unlike some posters, I’m not going to freak out if it’s a DB. It could well be the top value/talent on the board when they pick. It’s not what I want, but I could understand it.

A DB like Johnson just might be the BPA, not Warren. If they took Johnson then they should send Stevenson packing and get a pick

I’m pretty set on de but will Johnson a top five talent. Can’t get mad at a pick like that but can the trenches really be ignored again

I still see the biggest needs on this team as LT, DE, LB, RB, and to a lesser extent DI, WR- not necessarily in that order

Any one of those positions in the first would be great if you can find a Pro bowler or long term consistent starter.

Banks is the best LT in the draft so I guess we'll see.

daniel is making a long list of ruining guys careers in this draft class already

i feel bad for banks, he's basically guaranteed to be a bust now

I would be okay with this as well if they use those 2nd round picks well. Having a rookie to play opposite JJ on a 5 year rookie contract would be great, though having wasted a 2nd on stevenson would sting.

The FA moves really allowed a little more time on the OL so they don't HAVE to pick one this year, but I hope they don't completely ignore depth / LT.

DL really is the biggest spot to solve still. Dexter is somewhat of an unknown, Jarrett is old and probably only plays another 1-2 years here realistically if he is even decent, Picckens is not an NFL player to this point, and Billings is the real quality player but is coming off injury.

I want trenches addressed immediately; but Johnson won’t make me rip whatever is left off of my dick. A TE would.

Love will johnson, but the nagging injuries scare me.

Also, i feel like rique has a big year this season. Cant see us taking him, a safety via trade down maybe tho

I don’t get this te obsession on here. Especially after last year so many posters didn’t like Brock and no one compares to him in this draft

Injuries are always a concern but minor stuff like that how much of that is just protecting yourself before you ditch college football.

It’s subconscious fan guilt from passing on Bowers

LT is our biggest need. We have healthy experienced vets starting at pretty much every other position. (Maybe not safety as Briskers brane worries me)

But until I see Braxton 100% healthy I will say this is need #1.

Hope he is very impressive throwing without defenders today… need him in the top 9.

 

[DanielCCSBears]

Would you be OK with them drafting him?

Depends on who else is available.

 

[playthrough2001]

Depends on who else is available.

Give us your top five preferences at 10 outside of Carter and Hunter.

Yeah but Bowers is a midget. @HeHateMe

We had to pass on Bowers because of the photo of him in the gym that made him look tiny. Or something like that.
