Obviously there are bigger things on Bears' fans minds right now, but the Senior Bowl is upon us. Time to find some diamonds in the rough and to validate our opinions about our guys (or not). Here's a few takes from Tuesday, please post more:

A few player who I think will do well and or had solid days yesterday:
Jermaine Johnson, EDGE, FSU: this guy is, to me, pretty easily the top EDGE player after the big four (Thibs, Hutch, Karlaftis, Ojebo), and I would draft him over the last two based solely on tape. Dude is violent and explosive, carries way more weight that he looks, and has tremendous get off. Perhaps not quite as flexible as you'd like but he is close to the whole package. If the Bears do trade Mack he is a player to target for sure.
Chad Muma, ILB, Wyoming: Athletic, cerebral player who just gets to the ball on running plays and can carry TEs down the field. He's the whole package for an LB imo, someone who is going be productive for three downs. Not sure his best use is as 4-3 MIKE, but he could be deployed there and definitely as a nickel backer. Would pair with Roq to be among the best coverage ILBs in the league.
Jalen Tolbert, WR, S Alabama: super productive and smooth athlete who can get behind the defense. Not super explosive off the line or in his breaks, but moves with ease and changes direction effortlessly. To me a very tough cover, uses his length well at the catch point. Good fit with Fields imo. He was more of third rounder but after senior bowl I think he's more an R2 player.
Perrion Winfey, 3Tech, OU: Dude has a unique combination of length, leverage and explosion. Probably the top 3tech on the board.
Travis Jones: DT, UConn: A masher inside where he wins with power against pretty much everyone. This guy isn't going to blow up the stat sheet, but he's going to physically dominate the player in front of him, making it tough for QBs to step up and making RBs cut in the backfield routinely.
Phidarian Mathis: DT, Bama: A blend of the first two, Mathis is sort of a big 3tech on running downs and an interior rusher on passing downs. Also could play 5tech. While he doesn't really stand out at any one thing, he can win in a variety ways.

Busy first day of practice in Mobile, Alabama for the 2022 Reese’s Senior Bowl. It all looks a little different and not just because of the COVID world we’re all living in. Starting last year, practices are held in a new location, moving from Ladd-Peebles Stadium to Hancock Whitney Stadium, a...
