Any skill position including RB except Jeanty. So basically I'm okay with OL, DL, or jeanty. Also no trade up's.

If I have to pick a single player and judging by what seems likely and who's been projected to the bears that would be Warren.

It doesn't really matter to me because there's not a lot of talent in this draft so whomever they draft to me won't get me excited. I'd love for a miracle to happen and have someone fall to us. But outside of that it's whatever.
There are gonna be some stars in this draft. Might not be the top projected but there will be some ballers that come out of this

I wouldn’t mind Hampton at 10 if Jeanty, Graham, Campbell, Membou, and everyone else we want are taken.

Stewart. I'd probably talk myself into giving him a chance but I'd hate the pick.

I don’t like this draft.

What is the pick at#10 that you fear most?

Mine: Shemar Stewart. Minimal production but great combine numbers. Drafting on "potential" is not what you do with a top ten pick. Save it for later rounds.
I'm not making a case for Stewart but there has been plenty of successful players who were not productive in college that went on to be studs in the NFL.

Cameron Jordan who played for Allen in New Orleans four year starter at Cal, never had more than 6 sacks in college in the pass happy Pac-12, he finished with 121.5 career sacks with the Saints. Four years 16.5 career sacks for the Golden Bears, absolutely no excitement. But he went 24th overall in the first round and was great.

Stewart is apparently all world at everything but production. But there's no way to get a good read on him.

Stewart is a long way from 16.5 sacks. He obviously has the physical tools but man he should have fallen on 4-6 more sacks just by accident.

Stewart's college stats pale in comparison to Jordan's college stats....and that is saying a lot...

Stewart is such an enigma to me. I’ve watched a lot of tape and look at his stats, he lives by the QB but the sack numbers just don’t math for me. I see a lot of getting the QB rolling away from him and scrambling away with quick throw aways, but yes, I’d think he’d have lucked into a few more sacks as well. I wouldn’t hate the pick, but 10 seems too early with the uncertainty.

He'd be the 4th DE on this team right now....at ten I don't see it

You think Booker is currently better than Stewart?!

I like booker but he was pretty bad last year, barely pressured the QB.

Id imagine any rookie taken at #10 will be above him on the depth chart

In what little I've seen short of Poles Nagying himself and making a reach nobody would expect I don't see how he can mess this one up no matter who he picks on either side of the ball.

I would only be a little miffed if he passed over oline that is there to get defense. Anyone else whatever he thinks is BPA.
I get the intent but when did the Bear reach in one for Nagy? Fields? It didn't work out but don't think he was a draft reach at 11. He was taken at 11 with a trade up in front of 2 teams that would have taken him at i4 and 15. He'd have definitely have been gone in the next few picks. Roquan was also not a reach.

Physically Stewart looks like a beast.

Stewart's production tells more about him as a football player.

It seems ridiculusly improbable that he could never muster more than 1 whole sack each year he played. That type of production in the NFL will get you no playing time.

Booker would basically be competing with him for the backup role. Booker has more experience and is as physically matched with Stewart.

Not sure why you think almost zero sack production in College would translate to anything immediately in the NFL. The whole point od Stewart is that he is unproductive and raw. Somehow the NFL coaches will find what college coaches couldn't....

That does not sound like an instant upgrade over Booker.

No, he doesn't. If he does then it's something he needs to work through to come to his senses on. Booker needs another two years to hopefully develop. You cross your fingers and hope you can bring him along. Poles swung for the fences and some on the board fell in love with Booker after one preseason game. Booker promptly disappeared after that.

Booker had 10 pressures(6 on PFR) on 150 pass rush snaps.

Thats really bad, rookie or not.

IDK who the pick will be but they legit have no depth at DE right now which leads me to believe it would be the pick. My guess is Mykel Williams since he was the first guy rumored the bears like.

It can't be another project.

There is a project at backup DE and a project at backup OT...

Bears can't continue to draft projects.

He was taken in the 5th. That's trying to move the runner. It's where you draft potential or a RB, lol. Booker would have easily been taken in the next dozen picks in a round where a single digit % become starters. Such drama over a 5th round pick.

It's not just you. We all want day 3 pics to work out but the drama over late round fails is over the top on fan boards. It's why you take deep positions (RB) or guys that drop (Booker) with those. This year, expect a RB late even if Poles takes one early.
