AZBearsFan Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Didn’t see that we had one of these yet. If so please lock this one up. Intending this as a place for discussion of all prospects, not necessarily just those we think might be fits for us.

BP42 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I’ve been looking at some mock drafts and potential receivers. There are 2 WO’s from Ohio State that are intriguing. Don’t have their names at the moment but looks like both played with JF and have a good rapport with him. They are both listed as potential RD 2 players. Any thoughts from those who may watch more college ball then I do on these 2 and do you think they’d be good fits with the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re talking about Wilson and Olave, which I presume you are, I’ve yet to see a mock that didn’t have both within the first 30 picks. Both would be awesome gets though if they were to be available to us regardless of the Fields/Ohio State connection. Both are explosive playmakers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZBearsFan Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 Some initial thoughts: -It’s weird going into a draft not really looking at QBs. I don’t really like any of them from what I’ve seen. Pickett would have been my favorite but 8.25” hands are like those of a middle schooler. -I like a bunch of the CBs and WRs. Both groups look deep, which aligns really well with our top draft needs. I’d love for Treylon Burks to be around when we pick R2 but I just can’t see it. -Dropped some coin on Evan Neal 1st overall pick today (+750). JAX will pick 1st unless they beat IND on Sunday, who clinches a playoff spot with a win. Not happening. They already have the QB and 2 good edge rushers. Lawrence is the franchise - protecting his blind side will be priority 1, and Neal is a freak. Plus, there are no QBs worth trading up to 1 for, and if you need an edge rusher there are 3-4 worthy of a top 10-15 pick (Hutchinson, Thibodeaux, Ojabo and Karlaftis).

Crazy that both should (and probably will) go in the 1st round yet they are the 3rd & 4th most talented receivers at Ohio State right now haha... The dream is Treylon Burks runs in the high 4.6s and drops to our pick...highly doubtful though...dude is a stud... Difficult to decide on what type of receiver we will be looking for not knowing the HC but David Ball is a talented all-rounder who should fit any scheme... Wan'Dale Robinson is a guy I really like for some schemes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epyon Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Right now my top choice is the Center from Iowa Linderbaum........ People are saying he's a first rounder, but he is still a Center, and they typically can slide to the 2nd. Mustipher is a complete bum, and a major source of our issues this season, as someone constantly needs to help him out, creating holes elsewhere (like when Borom was left on an island in his first game against one of the league's best pass rushers) I would absolutely be looking very hard at WR though.... as I think we all saw from Burrow getting Chase this season, exactly how big it is to have a stud WR to pair with your QB. Fields needs that guy, and as much as I like Mooney, and as much as he's become the focal point of the passing game this year, he's just doesn't appear to be that guy.

Tyler Lunderbaum should go top 15...no way I see him getting out the 1st...he is the best centre prospect in a long long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Some of my favorite round 3-6 prospects: Dylan Parham, C, Memphis Tariq Woolen, CB, UTSA Kerby Joseph, S, Illinois Troy Andersen, LB, Montana State Gerrit Prince, TE, UAB Leo Chanel, LB, Wisconsin Travis Jones, DL, Connecticut Zion Johnson, G, Boston College Channing Tindall, LB, Georgia Chad Muma, LB, Wyoming Cole Turner, TE, Nevada My #1 target in round 2 right now would be Drake London. Only thing getting him to round 2 potentially is injury and he has drops on occasion. Otherwise he is a monster Edited January 7, 2022 by beardown3231 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. We've seen in 5 of the 7 past drafts a center go in the first round. He's an easy top 20 pick IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Watching some of the stuff coming out of the Senior Bowl and I can't help but wish we had less holes on offence so we could scope up some of the defensive talent out there... Darrian Beavers the LB out of Cincinnati for example would be perfect for this scheme...6-4" 255lbs...played safety, LB, DE then back to LB...he is a poor man's Parsons with that type of versatile but I doubt we can spend draft resources on an off the ball LB this off-season... Perrion Winfrey out of Oklahoma could get a look in round 2 though depending on what we do with the OL in FA...dude is the perfect UT for this scheme and that position is so valuable that we might make the move for him... Kerby Joseph from Illinois is a guy I really like as a rangy SS to put back there alongside Eddie in this scheme where taking the ball away is everything...he is a 3rd rounder who would make sense. When it comes to the offence I am not massively sold on the skill position guys at the Senior Bowl...do however like some of the OL especially given the size and physicality...Trevor Penning is a guy who really interests me give his upside...seems like exactly the type of player Poles was talking about going after.

With his footwork I don't think press is going to be an issue. I know it's not vs good pro corners but some of those Senior Bowl clips of him getting by corners... wooo weeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
