ASHKUM BEAR

I enjoy TTNL but them guys are not always right on everything they discuss. I think they see tape breakdowns that anyone, but some of their FA talk is fantasy talk. They also harp on the same things every show like Swifty, Gabriel, and others. The constant harping is old and wasting my time. I can see why they are watched, they have some of the best insight, and you can tell who follows them by the echos but like everyone else, they are out for clicks too.

Brisker mailed it in almost all season. Looked good in the last game though. Plus he is one concussion from retirement. So I do not blame the Bears for letting him go. I like Stukes and would consider taking him even if they do draft S round 1. Stukes is like the wildcard who could line up at CB, slot, or either S spot.

I dont think he is that far off from 25-40 range. The Bears need a starter at S, so his name is going to associated. He could have transfered but chose to stay at Toledo and knows the NFL will find talent. He's top 10 RAS, impressed at senior bowl, and is similiar to Seahawk rookie Nick Emmanwari. McNeil-Warren would bring that big hit in the box S but can play FS or Nickle. Quinyon Mitchell came out of Toledo, he's pretty good . I dont see Theineman there as much as I want him, so we will be looking at a tier of players that will rank about the same. The Bears brought in FA DTs and DEs, so they might look at locking that open position (safety). I will have many more mocks from now until draft 😆 but I feel safety has strong odds for being the pick.

It depends on the price. If they would take 2 firsts, we'd have a welcome parade.

Banks is one of those guys that you see rare length with athletic ability. He would need a lot of work on his run stop ability and that is what the Bears need most, so it comes down if they feel he can develop in that area. Big boys with foot issues is also a concern. If the Bears believe he can overcome those two issues, he would be a monster for us in the middle. He would also have former gator Dexter take him under his wing. Dexter should have extra motivation going into a contract year. The hard part is do the Bears go DT early after adding free agents. I feel they need to so they have long term talent, but they may have bought themselves a year to fill other positions

Im glad you see it and have shared previously. I've mentioned it a few times as well. The DEs are the big boys that contain while everyone else could possibly attack.

This is not who I would exactly draft but who i see the Bears drafting. McDonald and Young have top 30 visits. Young fits DAs defense, so i can see it. I think we see the DEs roles different from him. He dont want a guy losing his gap to pursue the QB all the time. I would not be shocked to see Gennings Dunker round 2. If Trapilo can man the LT Dunker can.

I think our pick comes down to these players: Kayden McDonald DT, Zion Young DE, Dillon Thieneman S, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren S. Couple sleepers: Peter Wood DT, havent heard anything connecting him to Bears. Makai Lemin WR - bc why not make the offense scarier.

Remember when Angelo found SB studs and then Lovie got GM power and the drafts went to hell. At least I feel better about Ben directing Poles. I want to see him rocking in his chair rubbing his hands again this draft.

I'm with you thinking Safety. Since the draft is for long term, getting a guy who starts as rotational is fine if they develop into a blue chip player especially at a premium position like DE.

Safety choice: Say Dillion Thieneman and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren are both there at 25. Which guy fits Dennis Allen's D and would make the Bears D better long term. I think the EMW hype has dropped, but he has more violence as a SS and that part of his game makes me think Bears. But his flame has dimmed and I think he will be a high 2nd round guy and may require moving down.

I hope they leave it at 3 yrs. Pace would have had us still without picks haha. I would rather keep the picks and find our own Max Crosby, but a Myles Garrett hunting for a superbowl ring would be fun. He would have an elevated play the closer he gets.

Poles has to explore it. Two firsts is as far as they should go. The owners are going to vote on how many future picks can be traded soon. It was 3 years, they want to go to 5. I dont like it, like a auto loan over 5 years.

Aaron Donald was a pressure guy, but teams knew you could scheme him bc of his size and run at him. Its hard to find the right guy. Zion Young has a build/size you want but doesnt have the "it" factor like Bain for pressure/sacks. I would like the Bears to find a guy that teams need to scheme against since we have Dayo who has the size opposote of Sweat.

Campbell graded out well, superbowl wasnt great, but Patriots are not giving up on him yet as LT. Bain won't be a Myles Garrett, but can be a Hendrickson, Freeney, Jared Allen... who all had 32" arms. He has a motor and played against top college competition and produced. He plays for the right defensive coach, he can be special.
