Official NFL Draft Thread - Bear Fans Only - and No Montucky!

Kaleb will be a Bear.

Based on their visits outside of Blue and Smith, the guys they’re interested in all probably have to be drafted by 41.

Eddie George let it out of the bag that they asked for a lot of information on Judkins too.

Supposedly, Bieniemy is fond of Henderson.

 

[playthrough2001]

The Niners pick at 11. I hope the Bears don’t give them the chance.

Why the 49ers Seem Likely to Draft Texas OT Kelvin Banks Jr.

Trent Williams hasn't said anything publicly or posted anything on social media since October.

I like Henderson, but I think he goes in the 1st. That’s going to leave Judkins, Scat, or Kaleb. Just calling my shot, but I think it’s Kaleb.

Banks jr. is the top target for you?

Banks jr. is the top target for you?

That is absolutely who I want that will reasonably be there at 10.

I’ve been correct about (and agreed with) the last three number one picks although Caleb was a given.

The crazy part about the whole process is that during the college season everyone was all about Banks Jr. and Campbell. The narrative didn't really switch until people stopped watching the game film and started nit picking measurements

Johnson loves to run the ball. Banks Jr. is an excellent run blocker. He’s a solid pass protector too and should only get better being coached by Roushar.

That’s not really true. The offseason is the time where people are dissecting the film. How can people make conclusive decisions during the season without complete info? At minimum, people need time to break down everyone’s tape and that’s a tall ask during the season.

I love how the amateur scouting community is so bad that they completely missed on this guy up until a little over a month ago.

He wasn't even on the radar in most places and now he's a Top-15 player.

Banks in the best offensive tackle in the draft.

 

[msadows]

Banks in the best offensive tackle in the draft.

Ryan poles please look at this. Daniel is batting 1.000 at being wrong on his favorite prospects. Please dont draft banks

 

[playthrough2001]

Banks in the best offensive tackle in the draft.

I agree with this for sure.

 

[msadows]

I agree with this for sure.

Unfortunately Daniel liking a player is usually a good sign they will suck in the NFL.

I feel bad for banks and his family, he didnt deserve this treatment.

Always thought it would be shadeur at #3. He's just been linked too much to them, even getting giants themed shoes and playing catch in the streets of NYC with nabers

Pats will then take travis hunter or carter, so hopefully will campbell falls to #10

Idk that I'd say he's an excellent run blocker. He reminds me of Braxton in the run game in that he's really good out in space on screens and outside zone runs. But interior runs he doesn't displace defenders. He does a good enough job walling them off, but I'm a bit surprised he doesn't move guys better because he clearly has a solid base.

I love how the amateur scouting community is so bad that they completely missed on this guy up until a little over a month ago.

He's not a top 15 player. Where do you come up with this shit?

It's literally what happens every year.

It's literally what happens every year.

What happens every year? He said "until people stopped watching the game film and started nit picking measurements". People have been watching film all offseason. To suggest people haven't still been "watching the game film" is crazy. Poles and Ben talked about the film sessions they've been having with the scouts. Are we thinking Ben and Poles were breaking down college players in October? The media people are also all talking about how they just finished breaking down film and then put out videos. As an example, Chris Simms has transparently said he has no time during the NFL season to watch college cause he's focused on the NFL... so he watches film now and makes his rankings now.

I get that scouts are watching guys all the time, but they aren't making decisions... a lot of NFL people are focused on the NFL during the year and then breaking down the college players in the offseason. Give me a single guy that locked in Banks as a higher rank during the college season than they do today and moved him down cause of measurements.

Quick question for the room...

Why is no one talking about the two most interesting tidbits I found out about recently in the "Beast"?

#1 Will Cambell has had a ton of flags over the last couple of seasons: 14 flags with 7 false starts.

#2 Ashton Jeanty has had a lot of fumbles: 5 last season (one called back for penalty) and 9 in the last two seasons.

We probably won't hear about them at all until right after the Bears draft one of them I'm sure.

I've heard people talk about the Jeanty fumbles for a while now but not sure i've heard anyone talk about the flags and false starts for Campbell.
