He's always been fine, but not spectacular, and he just got labeled as a guy that would get more money elsewhere than what they'd want to give him. Doesn't help that Creed Humphrey was taken the next pick after him.
Idk about that... Carter, Hunter, Hunter, Ward, Graham, Emmanwori, Campbell, Barron, McMillon, Jihaad Campbell, Will Johnson, Walker, Membou, Banks, Green and Pearce all could be top 10 picks... Think my wish list would be something like Carter Graham Pearce Carter isn't happening but I think one of Graham or Pearce will be...
Now the real reporters are running with it. The timing of this a couple weeks after the old bat dies. Can’t help but think McCaskey is so spineless he didn’t want to tell mommy they won’t be playing by the lake anymore.
On the flip side the OT from Missouri is probably the OT that’s going in the top 15 now. Great combine numbers and great production
The Bears have so many issues on the each line. The need to sign/draft 2 OG and a Center. They also need a DT and Edge. They have three prime picks and a boatload of cash. I think you must leave free agency with at least one OL and one DL. Way to much smoke from DJ and the NFL Network crew during the combine to think Chicago isn't going OL with 10. I think the DL prospects are so stacked you could get a very good DT or Edge R2. Probably get a G as well. Just flushing this out on the fly... 10 - Will Campbell - G 39 - Jonah Savaiinaea - G 41 - Deone Walker - DT 72 - DJ Giddens - RB Free Agency / Trades Mack - Edge Dalman - Center Young - Edge Gieseki - Tight End OL looks like: LT: Jones / Amegadjie LG: Campbell C: Dalman RG: Bates / Savaiinaea RT: Wright DL looks like: Edge: Mack / Booker DL: Billings / Pickings DL: Dexter / Walker Edge: Sweat / Young
Every post combine mock has the bears taking Campbell or Membou. I’d prefer membou since he might be able to play LT or you could experiment with Wright on the left
He's familiar with Johnson from his time in Detroit and still young with upside when healthy. I don't hate it...
LT: Jones/draftee LG: Thuney C: ???? probably Dalman/Kelly/Myers RG: Jackson RT: Wright Let's see what they can do.
biggs said 13-14 mil for dahlman. He didn’t pick that number out of nowhere. So much smoke around dahlman and the bears I’d be shocked if they didn’t get him. I think Simmons may be a legit target at 10 now. Maybe a trade back?
Is there someone worthwhile enough at 10 that entices someone to trade up? I personally feel like these moves make it far more likely they go with a front 7 player at 10 but idk
I don’t think Simmons goes top 10. biggs did not get that number out of nowhere, correct. PFF literally just put out his expected contract at 56 over 4 (14M aav) two days ago.
If they sign Dalman and Mack/Sweat and Graham falls to 10 you couldn’t ask for a better offseason for fixing the lines.
Like the trade… OL is off the board at 10 imho. I think we’re looking at DL at 10 or a trade back and select a DL. I think the DL pool we’re going to target either at 10 or in a trade back looks like… Carter Pearce Green Stewart Harmon Graham
His film and production is outstanding. But his athletic profile is a red flag… he would be an outlier for success at the nfl level. I would not be surprised to see him sitting at 10. I couldn’t say that two weeks ago
If we sign Dalman and an Edge it would allow Chicago to draft players without needed them to be instant impact or counted on to be elite from the start. That’s nice.
He’s going to get a pro-day and hopefully he improves. He can’t grow longer arms or hand size… but maybe you can. Some guys were improving from Senior Bowl to Combine. No clue how bit it happened. With that said I would take him at 10. That production and tape is so tough to pass on.
right but those are some pretty big concerns if people aren’t even talking about you anywhere near the top 10
