Rolni Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Bilal Nichols is good pick up IMO. Champ Kelly obviously know him really well, so we buy a known commodity. He has the size for our scheme, he has the experience in a somewhat similar scheme and he had 2 good years in 2018 and 2020. This past season was pretty much a down year for that entire team... He can play in 3 man and 4 man DLs for us and at 25 years old he still has nice upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyGlove Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Will offer little pass rush but takes us off the board for Jordan Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble_Beast Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 younger and upgrade to John Hankins. a NT who can actually offer a little pass rush. Solid move, young so he is a building block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Not going to pretend like I know a whole lot of the guy but my biggest concern of the remaining FAs is that most of them are in their 30s, I’m glad we got someone we can keep around for a while.

One thing I will say is signing a player like him for the price they did shows me that they seem to know what they’re doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid move, young so he is a building block Bilal is not a NT. He is more of a pass rushing DL then a run stuffer. He played some 0T with the Bears when Goldman was out, but he is not a NT. He is a 3-4DE, 4-3DT. With us he will be the base RDE in the 3 DL set up and then a DT in the 4 man nickel front... Hankins can still come back to be in the NT rotation. I would also welcome fellow Bears NT Goldman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCOUGHMAN Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Better than Phillips lol. we’ll see. definitely a position of need. Glad it’s a 2yr deal and he’s young, healthy and has some productivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
