I think Banks a LT you could take at 10 and feel good about. He may not be a freak athlete like Campbell or Membou but he is still damn good.

I think people give too much credit to coaches for drafting players. It’s not a coach’s responsibility to do that. I can imagine there may be a preference on a player, where Ben's input is critical in shifting players slots on a board, but it’s not like Ben would override Poles and force him to pick a player Poles would otherwise think is a bust. That would be stupid of a coach and overconfident. The reverse is true too, where Poles shouldn't pick a guy the coach doesn't want at all and believes isn't a fit. So that said, Poles owns the roster, for better or worse. Poles picks the players he believes his coaches can utilize and maximize.

On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the angriest and 10 being the most pleased, how would you feel about each of these selections if the Bears took them at 10:
1. Will Campbell
2. Armand Membou
3. Kelvin Banks
4. Ashton Jeanty
5. Omarion Hampton
6. Tyler Warren
7. Colston Loveland
8. Mason Graham
9. Derrick Harmon
10. Walter Nolen
11. Will Johnson
12. Jahdae Barron
13. Jalon Walker
14. Mykel Williams
15. James Pierce
16. Mike Green
17. Shemar Stewart

I'm on the Banks train.
LT is the biggest question mark heading into training camp.
Even greater than RB.

10 - Campbell, Menbou, Jenty
9 - Warren, Walker
5 - Johnson

At #10, you take top-10 talent. This isn't complicated...

What makes Campbell and Membou top 10 talents, but not Banks? I’m not trying to argue. Just curious.

I think most support that but most also say he needs to check out on the character issues of his past and all agree that it comes down to if Dennis Allen approves of the pick and he can use him as a DE in his 4-3 defense.

I'm a 10 on being confused on why Kenneth Grant didn't make this very long list.

I would rather trade back and snag Hampton with an extra second or third than use the 10th pick on Jeanty if he's there and would definitely rather have Hampton than Warren in any scenario.
Hampton reminds me of a young Forte. Their biggest difference is Forte was more about juking defenders out of their shoes where Hampton seems a bit more of a play through contact and fall forward type.
You are going to get your 1500+ all purpose yards from Hampton whether or not that 1500+ makes the highlight reel is meaningless to me.

I'm just going by consensus of the handful of draft analysis media people who I believe to have pretty solid track records of identifying top-10 talent year after year. Should they be taken as the word of god? No, of course not. But it seems better than using anything else, including my own opinion, or anyone else here for that matter. Their consensus seems to be that Campbell and Membou are both just better athletes than Banks (or Conerly, for that matter)...

Agreed and we have an idea the BJ looks at it the same way so we'll get a sense of how they feel about that situation next week.
