Bears 11.0: Free Agency, College Pro days, Draft & beyond

[nomorezorro]

if you gave me the option to lock in one player at one (realistic) pick in this draft, it might be ersery at 39/41

think he might be the second-best LT prospect in this draft (and he has the potential to kick inside if needed too)

Dude is tough and shifty. Can’t wait to see how Coach uses him.

I watched the video and I could think was "man it would be great if we had a quarterback who could get the ball out of his hands quickly".

I wish this draft had more talent

Cooper Kupp signs with SEA: 3/45. Somebody thinks he still has good days ahead of him.

I’m coming around on this Emannwori fellow. I don’t think we’re going to find good value trading down though. Who would want to trade up?

I see mocks having him go at 13 now

I want high upside in the top 10. That’s all. Any position. Though it seems the only positions that fill the bill are gonna be RB, DE, WR (guy from Arizona) and this safety. Perhaps there’s a defensive tackle. I don’t really want to draft for need just to go O-line and have the guy have a small wingspan or just average length. We shouldn’t be settling for replacement level players. Trade down for that. At 10, let’s get some loud prototype tools. Take a swing.

I think someone might trade up for a dart. Or sanders or ward is they drop. Id be against drafting a safety in the first considering there are some actual needs still left. It feels like safety is a “fans” need and not a poles need. But, with his talent, id get over drafting his

There is always a possibility a team wants to trade up depending on who is still on the board. We can get a really good RB in the 2nd or even the third round. We have both EDGEs covered. We can draft another one in the second round for depth. We can draft one of the big OTs (Ersery or Savailinaea) in the second round as well. They won't start in year one unless there is an injury. We just nabbed our WR3/slot guy. We can add depth there in Round 3. Emmanwori has future All-Pro written all over him. With that size and speed and tackling ability he could wreck havoc on opposing offenses. Dennis Allen could scheme up all kinds of ways to use him. And let's face it. Brisker is now very injury prone. So much so that I doubt he lasts until a 2nd contract. It's a position of need, if not now then soon. Emmanwori has the talent to become the best Safety in the league. You can't say that about too many other player we can Draft from #10 on down. I bet Dennis Allen would jump at the chance to coach him.

Emmanwori is my Number 1 target in the First round. But I could also get real excited to add Tyler Warren. I want playmakers that project to be potential All-Pro level players. Warren fits that description. And Ben Johnson like to utilize 2 tight end sets.

I saw a compilation of mock drafts the other day, and of the 6, I think 3 had us taking Jeanty, two Warren, and one Mason Graham.

I'm more worried about if they can play or not, than their measurables. Will Campbell may have short arms, but from what I've read, he's got everything else going for him that you'd want in a LT.

See no way Ben picks a player that doesn’t start.

Fully agree it will be a big swing impact player most likely outside the trenches.

Don’t want us to reach for that player though. I’m fine moving back and taking multiple swings on less hyped players with freakish measurables as the swing.

Would be fun to see what Ben could do with Warren or Jeanty. I’d prefer a slot WR later on though. Still scarred at how Kmet never got the ball so I’m thinking Warren wouldn’t or he would take all Kmet’s throws and be redundant.

I have trust in Ben Johnson that he will maximize whatever weapons are available to him. He can run 2 TE sets in the run game and use them to chip Defensive Ends then run short routes, giving Caleb that little extra time to scan downfield and if nothing is there to hit Kmet or Warren to move the chains. Adding someone like Warren would put lots of pressure on a defense. I watched several Penn State games and he was usually the best offensive player on the field. With the moves Poles has made we have a few holes but they don't require an immediate fix at #10. We need a RB but there will be good ones available in Round 2. We could use a slot WR. One of them could be had in the 2nd or third round. But at #10 you want a difference maker. A guy who in a few years is potentially the best player at his position in the league. Ammanwori and Warren fit that description.

Is Warren Brock Bowers good?

[JohnnyKILLroy]

Hope we avoid shiny new toy syndrome and make the most of our pick in the first round. Hopefully this is the last time we have a top 10 pick for a very long time. Hopefully Poles doesn’t spend it On RBs TEs or Safeties. Trench warfare wins championships. We sign a few guys and people think it’s enough. It’s never enough we want to be in a position where we’re rotating studs in on both sides of the ball continually and endlessly.

A dominant line makes everything on offense possible. Johnson wants to get cute with the play calling it doesn’t happen with out a dominant offensive line

A dominant defensive line will make our linebackers and secondary play elite. To let up on either side of it would be a huge mistake and a waste of money resources and draft picks.

Is Warren Brock Bowers good?

Yes. Maybe not quite as fast but bigger. Bowers is really a hybrid of sorts. A very large WR, at 6'4" 230...Warren is 6'6" and 256 lbs. Warren needs to get better as a blocker but he's got great receiving talent. That knack for finding holes in the defence that Travis Kelce has done so well for years. Dynamic with YAC. Reliable hands. Great all around athlete. In high school he was a 4 year letterman in football, basketball and baseball. He was a dual threat QB in HS before transitioning to TE at Penn State. He even threw a TD pass last year. He can line up inline, split wide, in the slot or as a wildcat. Ben Johnson could dial up all kinds of trickery with him. For what it's worth Field Yates now has us mocked to take Warren at #10. Which is fine by me. We can add Quinshon Judkins in the 2nd round. Someone who can get you a first down when your 3rd and two. Or get you into the end zone from inside the 5.

Good points but a potent offense that can put up points while eating up the clock will keep the defense fresh. At #10 I want a difference maker who has the potential to eventually be the best player at his position or close to it. I don't think the trench guys available at #10 are that much better than guys we could get in the 2nd round. I say get us a playmaker. Warren at #10 or Emmanwori on a trade down. Then add an OT, a DT and a RB in Round 2.
