ASHKUM BEAR

I guess it depends on which sites you use. He is graded highest now and when I started my draft dreamwork, I've mentioned Banks as a target because he was rated 1 or 2 then. Maybe I preferred his skill set to Campbell's then. That was 8 months or more ago.

Banks started off as the top LT, and LT is a premiere position that many GMs consider over positions like RB, TE, LB. After his combine measurements, his value jumped with his extra inch in height. His athletic ability and technique project him as a good fit for zone systems, which would fit the Bears. His skills project him as a probowl caliber player at G or T. Good chance he is not there at 10 and Campbell also could be off the board. With LT, they have to compare to Braxton and Kiran. Is Banks or the guys we have a talent for 4 years or 8-10?

I've seen Jalen Walker mentioned a few times. Sure his game is intriguing, but he has not developed as an off the ball LB or on the line edge since he played all over/rover. If a team wants to work on developing those skills he missed out on in college, they will have work cut out.

The 3 options are Jentry, Warren, or Banks, imo. Jentry and Warren are exra point adds... Banks increases every offensive players EPA. If they feel another RB or TE with a close EPA can be had later, they take Banks.

Ben Johnson brought in a new metric for the Bears to use when grading players, EPA. Extra Points Added. I heard they see 3 tiers. 1-10, 11-27, 28-70. Poles has his premiere position philosophy for drafting, but he hasn't reached to fill that either since GM. His order, QB, OT, DE, CB.

Now do WR George Pickens... As long as the McKaskeys are owners, the Bears will walk the fine line with character. They might be called the Monsters but they are the loveable cartoon ones. I'll add the Bears took Gordon and Brisker ahead of Pickens, then in the 3rd took Velus "V12" Jones Jr.

Every position seems deep that we need except LT. I know Johnson runs more 2 TE sets over 3 WR, but I think having a slot WR like Egbuka would make the O more explosive than a TE. Egbuka would have to be a trade down also.

Simmons is a supposedly catcher, so I'm hesitant and he's hurt. Banks I'm good with Campbell is rated high for some reason. I can't discount him yet and i haven't watched any tape either

Campbell or Jentry would be a dream. Graham, I feel like like he is light for how we want to be up front. And i'd rather get Egbuka or Burden at WR over TE.

The best is to move down 5-9 and gain a 2nd or 3rd. Then get a defensive difference maker or LT. I've been taking James Pierce lately with a move down. Little light but he can be a disrupter. Then take Grant or Nolen next. The defensive front would be set. Ersery if avaliable for LT and RB next. TE/WR after that. The rest of the draft get a LB, S.

I've been on the Kenneth Grant wagon. My opinion is Poles might see a Chris Jones in Nolen or Grant and Chris Jones is one of the reasons KC has been a consistent winner besides mahomes of course. I don't think 10 is too high, but maybe he can wiggle down a little and still get one.

Yes, get the guy who held up against nfl caliber talent...Campbell, Banks, Simmons, Ersery, D Jackson. No more Lenos, Braxtons, or Kirans. We haven't had a QB that could survive a pocket since Grossman/Orton.

Poles said they will bring in competition. He played pretty good out of position against some elite players according to stat lines (i only watched a few plays on X). Let him compete against Braxton and Kiran, worst case is he is a depth a G/T until he can win a spot.

That would be great and some pay back from getting fleeced a couple times. I thought which NFC north team can we fleece a future 1st from that we think will finish last.

I guess the 36" arms came from his High School prospect rankings. They said the combined shaved 1/2" off all the prospects.. Arm-Gate This is some notable opponents he faced Michigan Josaiah Stewart, Penn St-Abdul Carter, Tennesee-James Pearce, Oregon-Jordan Burch, Texas-Barryn Sorrell, Notre Dame-RJ Oben I wouldn't let him slide if available round 2.
