Completely agree, but we have seen crazier things. We drafted Long in the 1st and Mills in the 5th, and put the far less athletic Mills at tackle instead of Long. We have 32 GMs and 32 HCs who all are the smartest guys in the room, so they might think about him going there and just pigeon-hole him as only an OG. EDIT - though this may be overly wishful thinking. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman(DH23) Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Greg Gabriel said on the score he would be surprised if the Bears first pick isnt a tackle. Keep in mind the draft os 3 1/2 months away and he didnt attach a name thus is just based on his views of what Nagy is looking for and what is already on the roster. Also expects Bears to look for speed in fa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Andy Reid once famously said "give me a QB, two offensive tackles, two corners and two pass rushers. I'll figure out the rest". QB - Mitchell Trubisky LT - Charles Leno RT - UPGRADE NEEDED CB1 - Kyle Fuller CB2 - UPGRADE NEEDED OLB1 - Leonard Floyd OLB2 - UPGRADE NEEDED So, yeah I could see RT being a need, ditto CB2 and OLB 2.

BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Out of OT, OLB and WR, which position is projecting best in free agency? I imagine that might dictate how Pace's board gets built a little bit! My own relatively novice take is that they all kind of thin (hooray!) In terms of WR, my own favorites would be Allen Robinson, Taylor Gabriell, Paul Richardson, and take a chance on Pryor. No home run options there! OT, seems like Ja'Wuan James is going to not have his 5th year picked up, plays RT. Chris Hubbard might be good enough after playing backup. Nate Solder is getting up there, I would rather chance it on a younger player. OLB, any of the following fit our defensive scheme? Anyone know what our scheme will be? BShaw Barrett might make it out of DEN, Hitchens from Dallas, Bradham from Eagles? Remember Barkevious Mingo? Too bad we're not hunting for a bridge QB this year!

Damikeeeee Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 As much as I’d like to not like it. If we took Nelson and moved Long to RT again I would understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Whitehair's consistency issues snapping to shotgun, I could see a scenario where we go: LT: Leno LG: Nelson-Draft C: FA 1 > FA-OG/C 2 RG: Long/Whitehair RT: Whitehair/Long > Massie Whitehair played LT in college and graded out very well at it, fwiw... Long has the better size for it, but I'm not sure Long in his current condition is really going to be even an upgrade over Massie on the outside.

He did well there when he did it in a pinch, with a few months of work he could make the transistion easily IMO Leno - Long - Sitton - Nelson - Whitehair or Leno - Long - Whitehair - Sitton - Nelson That is a damn good OL either way. I am wondering what Nelson will do at the combine, the mirror drill will be huge to me, as he clearly is more than strong enough to play in the NFL.

BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I like Whitehair more than most, so I'll see you that and make it: Whitehair, Whitehair, Whitehair, Whitehair, Whitehair, with Whitehair under center, and Whitehair out as a receiver.

bkokot Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 What are the odds that we could get a bunch of picks Jacksonville for the #8 overall pick when they are trying to get the last of the good QB's available? This isn't that unrealistic, and that team is quite literally a QB away. If they miss out in free agency, they will almost have to do something drastic in the draft. This would push us to the back half of the first round, but would give us a lot of picks and flexibility in this year and next year's draft. Would you make the trade?

This would push us to the back half of the first round, but would give us a lot of picks and flexibility in this year and next year's draft. Would you make the trade? So assuming Jacksonville misses on the Kirk Cousins Sweepstakes. I think they are 26th, so that is a hell of a drop. I'd want a 1st and 2nd this year and a first next year to look at that significant of a drop. If they are balking I might try a 5th round to add for them and maybe haggle up to giving up our later 4th. So my back-pocket limit would be 1(10) and 4(2nd pick of ours) for their 1(26), 2(58), and 2019's 1st. Last year there was a very similar trade between BUF and KC. KC gave up a 1st this year and next, and a 3rd this year, and gave up the 10th overall. I think I would prefer to try to trade with BUF if they let Taylor leave. They have two first rounds this year, and I like the prospects enough this year to value two firsts much more now than I can safely say I would next year's class.
