Bears NFL Talk 103

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
