The Bears should consider cutting Kevin Byard. Use some of that cap savings for an edge like Josh Sweat.

What about Mekhi Becton? Dude had a career year working with Jeff Stoutland and moving inside to RG. I like the idea of him and Wright paving the way on the right side.

Kennan Allen does not want to come back aboard team Titanic to finish his career and we should not bring him back

Bears have plenty of money. They could easily sign sweat and a lot of other players without cutting byard.

11 - OL
6 - Edge
6 - CB
6 - S

At least one too many for each of these positions right? Maybe not CB if you're including NB in there.

You take 90 to camp and that is 54 players so some guys will get cut.

Allen has been trash. Shows just enough highlights to get people excited but isn’t consistent at all. Spend that money on OL or DL.
Already have 11 OL on roster so not seeing the point adding more.
He's only played five games this year...end of story. If you go by PFF, Teven Jenkins (75.8), Braxton Jones (80.8), and Darnell Wright (78) are all highly rated. Why would they need to improve on any of those guys?
Jenkins is a FA and I kept him in my last mock so I dont have an issue in keeping the 3 of them.

Like some of the lines you take here. One critique is this leaves the team very thin at swing tackle but there are only so many things you can do in 1 offseason.

LOL Deone Walker isn’t a 3T. He's 355-360 lbs (depending on info sites you look up) and his best attribute if you read any scouting report is his ability to take up 2 sets of hands most every play. You change schemes to a 3-4 and plug him in as your NT—a plan I am all for. And FYI, he’s the NT in Brad White’s 3-4 defense for Kentucky.

Playing him at 3T is some pop warner, square peg in a round hole bullshit that doesn’t maximize the player’s strengths (in fact, you’re worsening him by playing a position he doesn’t play—which is apropos for the bears) and seldom works for this franchise, we just remember Urlacher, Melton, and Hester being the exceptions to the rule.

Tyler Booker won’t be there in the 2nd round.

Dalman I like, but Atlanta can easily move some money around to keep him comfortably, should they want to. And if you sign him, Shelton is redundant.

Pretty sure a 3 year deal for a guy who turns 35 in a couple weeks isn’t smart. Even though Zeitler is a good player.

I’d like to see a change at K. Everybody else has a kicker who makes 55 yard kicks look easy. Well…except the bears.

Said Walker can play NT or 3T and I already posted the scouting report to support it. That scouting reporting says he is more of a pass rusher at this stage and actually doesnt use his size to his advantage as much as you would expect. In any event if you prefer he play NT exclusively no skin off my back.

Strengths:
  • First-step quickness/explosiveness
  • Athleticism/change of direction
  • Hand usage/detailed hand counters
As a pass-rushing IDL, Walker's skill set could be considered rare. Walker has a quick, explosive first step that he uses to attack upfield and immediately put offensive linemen in a reactionary mode. When in that reactionary mode, Walker uses his athleticism to move laterally and change direction instantly, as he is a nimble mover for a 350-pound IDL. Once in contact distance of the OL, he uses a wide array of hand counters to win.
For everything that Walker provides as a pass-rushing IDL, there needs to be an improvement playing the run. Walker's best reps as an IDL are when he shoots a gap to get backfield penetration and disrupt the play. When Walker is asked to hold the point of attack, his issue of playing with high pad level shows. There are reps where Walker gets displaced off of the line of scrimmage and struggles to disengage from offensive linemen. This issue could force offenses to opt to run the play in his direction.

Last time he was asked about it he said he wanted to run it back. Think he and Capeb like each other so will boil down to how he feels about new caoching staff I think.

I did consider signing a guy like Alaric Jackson instead of one of the IOL but will save that for future mock. 1st mock had us drafting Banks Jr.

I’d prefer more speed which is why I’d probably let Keenan walk. I think his presence is also disrupting DJ and Rome’s impact. Or to put it another way, they’re not being maximized as much as they could be.

Get some speed in the slot and feature Rome more considering you drafted him #9 overall.

My big issue with the above is Caleb's deep accuracy has been garbage so you invest in speed and Caleb still struggles throwing deep and it is a waste.

Rome has been open deep plenty. Caleb just keeps missing him. To me Allen is the possession and 3rd down guy, DJ is YAC guy who can also work intermediate and deep and Rome is a jack of all trades who can also be your primary deep option.

Well if the bears are ever going to be successful Caleb is going to have to get that deep ball accuracy sorted out. Considering it’s never been bad before and it’s been impossibly bad this year, I believe it’ll work itself out. Not to mention, having a legit speed option opens things up underneath and keeps defenses honest. There’s more to having speed on offense than only throwing it deep. The threat opens other things up.

Yes i know how camp and the ending roster works. That was only 52 that you listed and that was your final 53 list. All i'm saying was that teams don't have that many OL, CB, S and Edge rushers on their final 53.

Yeah I think we dont have that threat because of Caleb not the WRs. Moore and Odunze have more than enough speed to win deep. To each his own though.

Yes wasnt trying to do a final 53 or show all 90 players going to camp. I only have 1 TE so obvious not everyone here makes final 53.
