Dude, his actual name is Luther Burden the 3rd lol. It isn’t because of his number, though I’m sure that’s why he selected 3 as his number in college.

I also didn't think they would go T at 10 unless the board fell very differently and a trade down wasn't out of the question if Carter, Graham Loveland and Jeanty were gone. Maybe take Warren but Loveland is a much better fit... or Nolen. Being assured one of Hampton or Henderson plus more picks may have not been a bad option at that point.

I personally would prefer Henderson (so pissed when NE took him) and agree he would make the biggest year 1 impact and be what is more needed in BJ's offense after the Loveland pick. I just feel that Burden is going to be a head case especially when he doesn't get the ball as much as he likes. I still see Burden as being more of a gadget guy in year 1.

The board went chalk 1-7 until Tet and the 'late charging' Banks (at least to the media) went 8 and 9.
The Bears didn't consider trading down when they were at 10 so they obviously loved Colston there.
I'm pretty sure they also thought that they could have landed a Judkins/Henderson at 39 as well but that wasn't meant to be.

Completely agree. That they weren't trading up for a T would indicate that maybe they take Loveland even if Banks falls. This board would have gone nuclear.

I personally think Banks being taken at 9 was a curve ball they didn't expect so therefore there was no need to trade up. It seems like more analysts had Banks moving down in the draft. I sure expected him to be there at 10. Totally agree with Judkins/Henderson in the 2nd too. I thought for sure the Bears would get one of them. If Ozzy can be a player and win LT, this will all play out well there but I still would prefer Henderson over WR3.

I'm kinda glad Banks wasn't there. Not that I think it would have been a bad pick but this board would have been unbearable had the bear taken Loveland with banks on the board. Same if they pulled off a Jeanty trade.

It would have made more sense to have named him LB III instead of LB3, because his name is not Luther burden 3.
Then again just “Burden” would seem to be a little clearer, since LB is a position on the field, and we currently refer to third string wide receiver as WR3. (unless we drafted Willie Randolph the third when I wasn’t looking.)

Every pundit had 3 OT's going before 10 during draft week so Poles had a fastball down the middle on that one.
Even still, I bet Ben wanted Loveland instead of Banks knowing they could get their Braxton competition on day 2.
