Connor Williams might be the Tyron Smith or Joe Thomas of the draft. Not saying he'll be as good as them but he might be the most dominant player of the draft but won't get that recognition

G Quenton Nelson could also be a perennial Pro Bowler. If we get a couple good receivers and a pass rusher in FA, I can see the Bears taking Nelson

I like Nelson and Williams.

If we can wind up with an elite CB, Edge Rusher, WR or O-Lineman for the next decade or a bounty of picks, I'll be pumped.

Key is having between 4-5 QBs and Barkley go before us.

Dont be surprised of Lamar Jackson doesn't go top 15. His throwing mechanics are bad.

Bring Graham here. We can get by with a decent WR core if we have both him and Shaheen at TE wrecking havoc.

Sims if he's still here.

We badly need players that can score in the red zone.

If Graham and Shaheen are producing, teams would need to play nickel to combat them. They'd be blocking DBs instead of a LB.

Means a lot of 12 formations, which I don't see happening. I think we could get a redzone option, simply by upgrading our X receiver.

Someone on here brought up that he might be cut because of the time he's missed.

Its intriguing to see what Pace will do with the spot. Give it to Kwit, sign a FA or draft someone.

My guess is since Kwit played at a high level when he was in, he'll get it but there are a lot of high level ILB available in FA including Demario Davis and Bowman and its important to note Bowman played under Fangio in SF and Pace has shown with the Trevathan signing that he'd use connections to sign FAs. That's also why I think we're one of the favorites to get Peters if the Cheif actually make him available.

I think he'd be our edge rusher instead of ILB
