But they have a high fifth.

I think it’s likely they use their sixths to move into fourth but yes it would be nice if Miller/backup QB have value enough for more sixths

Mayfield is considered a guard. Of course you will romanticize whomever bears don’t pick.

And radunz off board, so was definitely needed to move, but had they had a fourth they’d have been able to do it much easier

Well, the run on tackles happened. Cosmi went before as did eichenberger and little. So bears would have missed out on many of the sure tackles, just radunz, byu tackle really left

When bridgewater gets nothing but a sixth though...

The lack of foles pick hurts, as they had to use the third. I wouldn’t have done it but it’s hard to know the grades. I have luxury of testing these tackles interchangeably. But that third is really tough to lose. Obviously though, I often took teven Jenkins in the first round, so we did get two talents I love. But this fifth is doing a lot of work here

I just think OL and WR are the best value now anyway, but there could be a great CB pick available, and certain edge guys I wouldn’t be upset about. And obviously some special players like JOK that Desai could make some really intriguing D out of with Roquan and EJ

I don't know I've ever seen Nico Collins but his size and athleticism score is pretty great.

Matt Miller's mock draft has bears getting Cosmi and Eskridge tonight which would be rad. Have seen Cosmi a few times. I really like Zech McPherson though I know people really want receivers, I could see us trading into the fifth and getting a WR there.

I think we are clear at this point. Locking thread for all to read and reflect.

No way to know for sure, but there was a rumor last night that the vikes would have considered him at 14, we don't know what the pats chart would have been, and there are teams like the raiders that would be possibilities. Also Washington a possibility.

I feel good at guard, Whitehair was great when moved to G last year and we'll have daniels back. I'm a mustipher believer. But if we can improve upon Ifedi or lord above, Leno, that's huge.

I support this tentatively but last year I made a pro-hitting coach thread and then their offense tanked for a few weeks.

Yeah, his injuries are a little worrisome but I'd yolo him. It's very frustrating with the OL guys, really hard to get good info on who is a tackle vs. guard. Seeing a lot more on Eichenberg is a better guard, then you'll have someone just be fan of the talent and that they could play tackle or guard. I think I like Brady Christianson too.

while I agree, come on, we all know why Leury has had to play so much this year. The reason he is valuable is because he can step in for pretty much any injured player.

So I just want to be real and clear. I loved Fields and really, really was amazed when it became clear there was a possibility bears could get him without needing to go up to like 4. That really only happened a few weeks ago. He played the top competition, started for multiple years, and has a tantalizing package of arm strength, accuracy and mobility. It's the kind of guy you go after. But, if he does fail, it is likely due to struggling to read coverages and decisionmaking. That is also most quarterbacks. But I also think this criticism is too harshly applied to Fields mainly because he was one of the few QBs to have lots and lots of reps over multiple years for teams to adjust. Can I think of a QB who succeeded despite questions around their decisionmaking and ability to read coverages? Yes, his name was Deshaun Watson, and he was also getting crushed with similar comments. I don't think people accurately remember pre-nfl draft chatter about Watson, but Bears fans online weren't enamored at all with him. They wanted jamal adams. He had poor ball placement, and made bad decisions. Would just pull the ball down after his first read. Mahomes could get through progressions but was critiqued for his field vision and decision making. He succeeded, and it doesn't mean Fields will. Fields was in an offense that prioritized the deep ball, and there were reasons why fields processed the way he did. He had some examples of really missing how teams were disguising coverages, but also incredible examples of reading what happens and taking advantage. He will need to improve and if he doesn't he'll fail. There's no guarantee Fields is great. There's no guarantee on any of these guys. But after the last 5 years, if you haven't revised your views on what is necessary for QBs to succeed you are overconfident. Josh Allen was crushed. Nobody with accuracy that poor could succeed. He improved it. Kyler Murray/Mayfield are succeeding despite height. Lamar Jackson became accurate downfield over an offseason.

I like him because he's one of the few that people think could be an LT.

No doubt, had a bunch of wings with my buddies and saw the trade with the bears and lost my mind. Had no doubt.

The run on CBs has left a nice OT board in round 2

Also, that’s Georgia that fucked up. They chose the guy that paid his dues, and lost a natty because of it.

Glad Parkman is ruining a perfectly good night. Nobody cares.

Lol, all you talked about was how you knew the bears would take jones since you hate him, they take field and you adjust to same bullshit. Those are two great defenses and Indiana does a lot of difficult coverages, show me when Lance or Wilson saw those.

I don’t know about overpay, I’m thrilled we have our second and third this year. this is interesting:

I feel a victory lap. The national media was so obtuse about what bears would do and how board would shape out. Im thrilled.
