Thanks for posting but i feel like all any of the three just did was put on video what everyone is already saying about him everywhere else. He needs to develop his pass rush skills and learn how to finish. I think those are things that depends on if that player will put the work in to develop those things that would say if he can or can't become good/great at what he does and that is something nobody knows until we see it. Will he put that work in after getting paid.
One thing I didn’t see before was the data vs Campbell and Membou. I think it’s quite telling. Maybe it’s a positive for them, or damning for him… Maybe neither

Here’s a pretty interesting mock draft for the Bears from Pro Football Network…

“10) Chicago Bears

Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

The Chicago Bears aggressively addressed their offensive line early in the offseason. That said, they face a difficult choice ahead of them in whether or not to extend left tackle Braxton Jones. In this NFL Mock Draft, they instead trade him (spoiler alert) and opt for a cheaper, higher-upside option.

Armand Membou has always stood out physically with his length, agility, and power. In 2024, his technique caught up to his athleticism, making him a well-rounded prospect. He’s a high-upside lineman, but don’t mistake him for just another NFL Scouting Combine riser; he’s a lot more refined than many people give him credit for.

39) Chicago Bears

Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

Though Grady Jarrett is a strong addition to the Bears’ defensive line rotation, he turns 32 in late April and figures to be more of a short-term addition to the interior.

Kenneth Grant is a powerful defensive tackle who can eat up double teams and control the line of scrimmage. His combination of size, athleticism, and leverage makes him a disruptive force as a 1-technique defender.

41) Chicago Bears

Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M

Though the Bears signed Dayo Odeyingbo in free agency to pair with Montez Sweat, their depth off the edge is still suspect heading into the draft.

Nic Scourton is a powerful edge rusher with a muscular, heavy build that carries his listed 285 pounds very well. He has some of the most refined hand usage you’ll see in an edge rusher in this draft class, and his short-area quickness is better than you’d expect for a man of his size.

72) Chicago Bears

Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa

After going heavy in the trenches in the first two rounds, the Bears add a powerful running back with tremendous field vision in between the tackles in Kaleb Johnson, who can pair with the shiftier D’Andre Swift.

82) Chicago Bears

Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas

Trade: Bears receive No. 82 overall pick
Seahawks receive OT Braxton Jones

After trading Jones for another third-round pick, the Bears invest in a potential starting safety for 2026 and beyond, with no safeties currently under contract beyond this season. Between his stints at Clemson and Texas, Andrew Mukuba showed that he’s a rangy safety with the instincts and athleticism in coverage to start at the NFL level.”

Continues at the link below…

That’s an amazing draft although I hate Scourton. I also think he might be the only one of those picks actually there at those spots come draft day.

Lol, you actually believe Pickett doing a successful goal line sneak and looking exhaused afterwards is the same as Hurts doing it at will multiple times a game.
What does “looking exhausted afterwards” mean, and how could you ever possibly judge that?

He has terrible production even outside of sacks. Only 5.5 TFL and 32 Tkls. Nothing about him says top 10 player outside of the combine.

I love the combine but you dont ignore the actual games just because he can run and jump well. Plus he didn't even do the benchpress.

It's horrible to gamble the #10 pick away on someone so unproven and risky.
Just to be clear, based on what you’ve said in this thread, if Stewart is a consistent 10+ sack producer it’s still a bad pick?

If Campbell gets to 10, Bears run to the podium to take him.
I think so, depending on the guys available. I think he’s “safe” cause he’ll find a starting spot somewhere, though you’d hope for the LT at pick 10. He won’t be there though. There are teams that really shouldn’t pass on linemen. To me, the Patriots, Raiders, Jaguars, and Jets all need to strongly consider him.

I understand the wingspan and arm length concerns and I’m not saying he’s going to definitely overcome it. All I’m saying is someone will take him and find out for themselves.

Wow.

Look, I've been pretty clear about the "type" of player I want Poles to draft, but I'll happily eat crow. In fact, I'd love to eat crow on something like that.
This.
I don’t want Warren but if Johnson wants him, then so be it. I’d much rather hate a pick and be dead wrong than to love a pick and be dead wrong about that. I don’t care how they come to the conclusion on who to draft as long as they hit on the pick.

Yep.

I'm an overweight couch potato with an opinion. Just like every other asshole out there. I don't even think what I'm arguing for is an "eat crow" moment.

After Ward, Carter and Hunter, the talent level is so close in the top 10-15 picks who knows which players will be there for the Bears.
