Who cares about more picks in a meh draft. Don’t trade out of the picks and draft some difference makers

Dudes arms grew

but his chest shrunk

People continue to overlook this. That wingspan is awful and he would be a complete outlier at the position. The mean OT wingspan is 82.1 inches. That is a huge discrepancy. Dude is not an NFL LT

Yes. Its not just his arms....his whole freaking width is off by 5 inches....its crazy.....DEs will bend around him at the pro level.

Just make sure any massages he gets are at the Bears facility and/or supervised.

And lock the landscaping equipment room…

I will be surprised if one of the first four picks isn’t a trade down. You don’t have to move down far on one of the 2nds or 3rd to get a day three pick

That sounds good to me but hasn’t poles traded up in the draft or am I misremembering?

I know he tried to trade up to get Rome (lol). I think he traded up to ensure they got Stevenson or maybe Dexter (also lol) ???

I don’t think he ever “tried” to trade up for Rome, but he contemplated it. Don’t believe an offer was ever made.

He did trade up a few spots for Stevenson. Historically, he prefers to trade down

The chart is not absolute

I read somewhere that the chart goes out the window when the trade up has to do with a QB

Name one even decent LT with as short of a wingspan. They don’t exist. Campbell going to be the first player to overcome that?

Hell, his wingspan is worse than Skoronski and titans had to play Skoronski at OG….and it’s not like he played well there either. I actually think Skoronski was better at LT than Campbell too. Either way, Campbell is one of the most overrated prospects this draft right now. He will have to learn how to play guard and will struggle because of his stance

The Titans didn't have to play Skoronski at G, the drafted him to play G and drafted JC Latham to play LT the following year.

That sucks. Hope it's something minor.

 

[dabears70]

I think arm length is a big barrier for guys that lack athleticism and sound fundamentals. Imo an OTs feet and hands are more important and guys who struggle there have no chance to overcome short arms. Campbell's tape against elite opponents generally shows he's got great feet and hands. I understand the concerns, I just disagree that he can't succeed at OT.

Also has the power needed and great recovery.

 

[dabears70]

I like him as a possibility for the Bears, so I hope he’s alright. Honestly, I don’t need to see those big dudes running 40s. If you’re Darnold, it’ll help to see. Anyone else… don’t hurt yourself.

Yeah the big guys should just do a 10 yard split which is much more meaningful for them then the 40 is.

Bookmark for bears top 10 pick in 2028

He's 195 soaking wet on a good day with a lean frame. Like the player but he's a platoon player in the league,

This class is overhyped in my assessment of these backs.one of the best ever, nonsense. The quantity is certainly there but not the quality. Alot of these guys have warts.

He's 206+, LOL. He averaged .340 Missed Tackles per Carry when he last played in 2023, which ranks 7th among draft-eligible RBs and looked better in very short play time in 2024. Ran a 4.41 40 with 41.5 vertical and 17 reps at his Pro Day. Pff has him up to #144 overall in this draft from being projected as an UDFA just weeks ago. I've been saying that if he's there in 5, #148, the Bear should take him.

Official weight....

Again, I like the player, I think he can one productive in the league, the buring question is can his body hold up. He runs hard, no doubt. His durability will be a concern for teams. Because of his frame.

He was 206 at his pro Day last week when he jumped that 41.5 vert and 10.5 broad jump.. He wasn't invited to the combine so your link is a guess. I've also seen him listed at 208.

Here's his current genuinely official #s.

Wasn't invited to the combine? He ran a 4.39 40...at the combine. I feel like we're talking about two different players here lol
