IronMike84 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 This pick is about stability. This should mean Cody Whitehair plays left guard and stays at left guard, not that he has to play a different position every week. I heard a joke early this draft season, and I forgot who it was (maybe Jeremiah) or the exact verbiage and all of the exact schools, but it went something like "When you need an offensive lineman, where do you get one from? Notre Dame, Iowa, Arkansas, Stanford, Wisconsin." It's funny, but there's some truth to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowler1215 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Awesome pick. Our O-line should be solid this year. OT depth is needed though, Massies contract is up after this year. Is Grasu gone, or depth at center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I liked coming into the draft about Daniels as well as Ragnow and Billy Price coming into the draft is that if we added any of them we would have 2 NFL-caliber starting centers on the roster, plus a backup in Kush who can also play either. That’s true depth at a really key position. I wonder if we now see Jordan Morgan at RT with a year to develop under HH behind Massie. He’s a bit short at 6-3 for a tackle but definitely has the length (34 5/8” arms) for the spot, and he doesn’t really have a role inside right now short of injury IMO due to Kush’s versatility giving him an edge as top depth.

WindyCity Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 He is a shockingly athletic man with great feet. Only 20 years old, which means he has room to physically develop and get stronger. This was a pick that went with the strength of the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsooie5 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 As solid of a pick st 39 as you can find. Athletic, quick, length, youth, high upside, I think he’s perfect for Nagy/Helfrich offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s really been impressive this offseason IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means the Bears will have pass rush concerns during the season, but there draft assets should all be starting and contributing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankWilliams Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Pace says hes going to have them start him at guard initially and see how that goes. Think its a mistake, but I suppose I'll defer to the coaches expertise on that one. He seems like a player who would be better at center, and whitehair had a lot of issues getting the snaps out cleanly last year, particularly at the beginning of working with Trubisky. Hopefully that improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman(DH23) Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Ryan Pace pc notes Says Daniels will start off at og and will be crosstrained to center (really odd wording here but more on that later) Miller has a swag about him that is infectious and both Pace and Nagy really liked that HH very influential on the Daniels pick and HH is very fired up about him. Feels that at 20 years old Daniels still has some room for physical growth but has a naturally low pad level that offers unique flexibility on the line (This is where Pace backtracked a bit on what he said earlier) Reiterated Daniels at OG but then said that is just where hes starting from and they [the other g/c] will compete and work that out. Miller has big hands, plucks the ball out of the air. They have stayed true to the board and its just fallen this way that the players they are getting seemingly are high floor players. Pace also noted that they also have very high ceilings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike84 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I'm really not worried about where he "starts off" because who knows what the timetable for that will be. For all we know he could leave Bourbonnais as the starting center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 One of my iOL guys AND a Hawkeye!? Happy G08. Sounds like he's going to be a LG but also get cross-trained to be a OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my guess since James mentioned how he wants to get in and start working with MT10 noting the special relationship between the QB and center.

Superman(DH23) Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 No joke was trying to explain to my gf why James Daniels is so good. I put on the combine highlight video. She says "wow, he moves really well for a fat guy". My gf knows absolutely nothing about football, yet she can still see how unique a talent he is.
