BTW - really nice off-season for Ryan Poles. He goes from many of us wanting him axed, to hiring Ben Johnson and then seemingly killing it in free agency and some trades leading up to free agency.

Great offseason for Poles means there's relatively few must fill holes. The opportunities for upgrade I see (other than LT or DE) are RB, DT, and O Line depth. This draft is excellent at DT and good at RB. I'd say getting quality contributors both those those positions, and a LT/LG or DE would be a home run at 10, 39, and 41. At 72, happy with safety, OL, DL, S, or TE. With a trade down I could see something like OL (20), DT (39), RB (41), DE (52), TE (75)
If any of Carter, Graham, Hunter, or Membou somehow fall, them. Failing that, trade down for a 2nd or 3rd+. Failing that, I'd love to see us pick the right guy at a premium position (LT, DE). If that guy isn't there, Jeanty, Warren, DT, or a LT/LG development type guy who will ultimately replace either Jones or (more likely) Thuney works. However, I much prefer trading down.

I am Bears in this year's HF Mock and drafted T Kevlin Banks Jr. at #10 after failing to find interest in trading down
Jones with his injuries is just not reliable at this point

Flip-flopping between Jeanty and Warren. Trade down if the offer is there. Possibly Mykel Williams. Both Brugler and Jeremiah have reported that he was battling an ankle injury the entire season which could explain his relatively unimpressive numbers.
I'm more intrigued by Membou than I am Banks Jr., but I'd need to know that he has potential on LT and not just on RT where he spent his entire college career.

That is why I went with Banks over Membou in mock
Banks projects as an NFL LT and with Bears drafting Wright 2 years ago drafting a guy with ? if he can play LT in Membou would risky

Membou has the higher upside. I think he'll be a perennial all pro if he hits. LT should be no problem for him with his athleticism and measurements.

You need a partner to trade down. Who is champing at the bits trying to trade up to #10 in this draft?

Yeah, a problem with this draft is well the QB's aren't that good
If this draft had several high-quality QB's the Bears would possibly be in prime spot to get a package to move down

And Mecole Hardman. I believe the Bears will sign one of the two.

I maintain that the FB play with Kramer was the best thing Waldron did until he got too cute and wanted him to get the ball. It was a damn near automatic short yardage play, even with a bad O-line and mediocre running backs.

Jenkins signed with the Browns. Hopefully he can remain healthy enough in the long term to live a good life outside of football. It felt like every other snap last season, he had to fight through pain to stand back up again.
