Any left tackle then - I just listed Campbell because he was the #1 on tankathon.
I will say when I watched the LSU - Florida game this week he was getting beat like a drum by some guy with the last name SAPP who isnt related to the HOF Legend. Not too impressed, but I've heard plenty on CCS say he's very good and a giant.
This is obviously all a pipedream, I know that poles will stick with braxton and Wright will stick at RT even if he may be a better guard.

We wouldnt know if he sucks cause he's been hurt 90% of his time here.
For all we know he may be a decent guard. But just like Tev Jenkum the best ability is availability.

Right now, there just does not appear to be a C worth taking in the second round though. Think the Bears can get two on the IOL in free agency. I would hope Poles takes a big swing at Trey Smith at OG and Josh Myers at C in free agency. Then go into the draft and attempt to fix the trenches on both sides of the ball with the top three picks.

That's why I hope the Bears stick with a DLineman with their top pick...............the strength of this year's draft.

Jenkins is a FA and while he is solid he is too injury prone. So I probably let him walk and go after Smith or Corbett.
Shelton has played well after a terrible start so I re-sign him. I also re-sign Pryor and Murray for depth.
Jones is a FA in 2025 so first question is what do they do with him. Do they try and extend him or do they let him play out his final year. Personally I try and give him a modest extendion for 15m a year or so.
In the draft I take an OT and G/C with 2 of the first 3 picks and probably another G/C later on in the draft. That would make the OL something like.
OT - Jones, Wright, Kiran and rookie.
G/C - Smith/Corbett, Pryor, Murray, 2nd round rookie, Kramer, Day 3 rookie.

not to be a buzzkill, but all this Trey Smith talk is the same old shit every offseason. Fans are hopeful we can get the best FA (if he even makes it to FA) at his position. Smith is looking like he’s gonna be the highest paid OG and will obviously have plenty of teams trying to get him and that can pay him.
It’s a pipe dream. Think about every offseason how this happens… It’s makes for good news though.

The Chicago Bears desperately need offensive line help, which could lead to a bold play for a Kansas City Chiefs star in free agency.

Wasn’t Poles involved with drafting him? After the ND fiasco I bet he wants someone he knows. While he will cost a fortune he’s as safe a bet as there is at a position of huge need. This makes too much sense to happen

You’d think. But history has shown that Poles doesn’t like to pay for that top of the class FA. He’ll have interest I’m sure, but he likely won’t back up the brinks truck, much like every offseason so far.

Idt it’s he doesn’t want to spend. Players don’t want to play here.

I mean that’s part of it to, but players generally follow the money.
I think it was McGlinchey that turned down more money from the Bears to go somewhere else?

My favorite teams
I'm pretty sure that recruitment reached financial levels that Poles wasn't willing to go to.
