Banks could very well be available at #13 to.

No they don’t. I believe the Rams just paid Alaric Jackson roughly 18 mil per year which is not elite money for a LT. He’s basically Braxton Jones. Believe he was another late round pick too just like Braxton.

Just because Jackson signed that contract doesn’t mean Jones and his agent will use that deal as a template.

That’s true they might not. Or they’d be fine with it…or they’d sign for less. It’s hard to say
Barring taking another step though, he’s not going to get “elite money.” Only way he gets elite money would be if he stays healthy and plays elite…which would be great.

Depending on who makes it to free agency will have a huge impact on his market. Just because he’s not elite doesn’t mean he’s not going to get vastly overpaid.
They should take some of the risk out of the equation from an injury and financial standpoint.

I wonder if he'd said yes he is going to play and acted like he gives a shit if they mightve stuck with him.
If I asked my qb if he wanted to play and he said "I'm interested," while also knowing he's dragged it out every offseason, telling him to get fucked seems pretty logical

I think it's awesome they did that to the guy that has inconvenienced others plenty in the past. Honestly, they may have brought him in for an attitude check with Rodgers wanting out of OTAs etc and decided, never mind... along with a sarcastic question.

Over paying is always a risk in FA..not always, though…and doesn’t mean you have to draft an OT at 10 if you’re not sold on their projection. Truth is the bears could go in so many directions and this draft is extremely unique. There’s going to be a ton of surprises

Yeah, I shouldn’t have quoted you my comment was more general. Apologies.Who said Kiran was as good as Banks? Is T their only need? I won't complain about a T in 1 but is it really a pressing or #1 need?
We'd like Jones to be better with a bull rush but imagine if Caleb actually had a pocket to step up into instead of having to constantly back up and all those outside rush deep redirects that were troubling are now a yard or more behind him. Most of Jones' pressures and sacks were as much the interior's fault as his.
Kiran got drafted as a guy with a ton of potential to be coached up and has had zero opportunity to have that happen due to not being able to practice until a few weeks into the season. No idea what he'll become but I suspect the staff will want to find out. You don't waste an early 3rd on an injured player you don't plan on using that year unless you project a round or more higher grade on him once back to normal and coached up.
Kiran Amegadjie's Draft Profile | Yale, OT Scouting Report | PFSN
As his 2024 NFL Draft scouting report states, Yale OT Kiran Amegadjie has the high-level physical tools to be the first FCS prospect selected in April.www.profootballnetwork.com
In regards to your question about offensive line being a pressing need, I believe so. I believe great teams are constructed like this:
Owner-GM-QB-Head Coach-Offensive Line.
Once that’s situated, the rest is easy.

I love when these outsiders act like anyone that is actually allowed in any teams draft room would tell them a damn thing about anything they're thinking about to do with the draft.

Actual teams almost never are. I posted before Jeremiah's old board, which had Kincaid at 9. He went nowhere near that. Some guys have Mayer high that year. Almost every year, there's a blue chip caliber TE that doesn't go as high as the media is pushing. And for the record, not a knock on Jeremiah, he's probably my favorite former scout/draft guy.

And Kincaid has been a disappointment. Mayer just couldn’t keep his “nose” clean
