Drafting a right tackle at #9 overall does not sit well with me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the amount teams pass and the quality of the rushers at the LE spot… you need to have a legit RT. The days of having a big run blocking stiff at RT are over and have been for awhile. In addition… if we draft an OT at 9, I think he will be given the first shot at LT. Braxton Jones is no where near good enough that you don’t do what is best for the 9th overall pick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factor in that this is not necessarily a good class for OT, you're not only drafting a RT top ten, you're taking a player that likely would have been taken 1/2 to 1 full round LATER in other drafts.

We have enough RBs including Fields. The Bears would do better with a WR at #9, rather than a RB. It would be bad for the Bears to draft a WR or RB in round1.

In any other draft or year I'd say it's incredibly stupid to draft a RB in the first round, let alone top 10. There's a part of my brain that can't believe I want to draft a RB. BUT Bijan is a DUDE. I not only view him as a RB, I view him as a slot WR and the mismatches we can create on offense with him on the field gives me a f'n hard-on. I don't plan on us having another top 10 pick for a while, so while we have the chance I want an elite talent (regardless of position). If Marvin Harrison, Jr. was in this draft I'd have pushed to take him #1 overall (etc). Edited April 22, 2023 by G08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears would do better with a WR at #9, rather than a RB. It would be bad for the Bears to draft a WR or RB in round1. To be fair, Bijan would step onto this team and IMMEDIATELY be the AT WORST, #2 receiver by talent on this roster behind Moore.... (and that's even with me liking Mooney). And would probably be the #3 WR for this draft class behind JSN and Jahmyr Gibbs, if he played receiver. My comp for Bijan is actually Matt Forte (albeit Bijan has much more lateral agility), where he's just really freaking good at everything, but doesn't quite have that top gear for the home run threat (which is a touch interesting, since his 40 time is the same as Forte's and he also wasn't really a home run threat..... but Fields was only 0.01 seconds faster and routinely outruns people. Even more curious is that Fields had by far the worst 10 yard split at 1.59, while Bijan is at 1.52 and Forte was at 1.49) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
