Stinger226 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 After watching Texas and Ohio State, Kelvin Banks is not worthy of a top 20 pick. JT and Jack Sawyer has taken him to school The whole DL of Ohio State moved up the draft ladder. Jake Wilson/ OC has held his own against a awesome DL.

Not that it is an excuse, but Banks suffered a left ankle injury that caused him to miss a game and was questionable to even play. The RT was also playing hurt. Scouts have to look at the whole package and not one game. If the refs called a hold in the end zone that last minute of the game, it could be a different view.

Interesting for me because he was the only OT I thought was worth a top 10 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling there will be 2 maybe 3 names after the combine worthy of our pick. The good thing without a top 5 prospect is the potential to move down. The Bears need all the tanks they can get to solidify the trenches. I would not be happy if they take a RB, WR, or DB before round 3. I'll live with a DT or DE, but if Caleb gets anywhere close to breaking the sack record again, I will have to find a new hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted January 12 Author Report Share Posted January 12 Since it's only the second time I have seen him,and don't know his history, not fair to judge on one game. Last year I watched Jon Alt play 3 games and he always looked like the first OT off the board. I watched one OT draft breakdown and said because of Campbell's football intelligence, he could be a all pro center from his first day in the NFL. He is a big guy with power and mobility and a born leader. If we drafted him at 10 and made him a center would you be okay with that?

Not really the value you want at 10 but if he were truly All Pro from year one that'd be ok with me. He could also slide out to OG if needed for injury depending on who your top 6 Olinemen are. I still prefer the slight trade down and grabbing him a few picks later but we're going to be pretty much stuck at 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I don't think either will be there at 10 which may drop Graham or Carter down. Hopefully dropping back and getting an extra top 50 pick works out. 4 top 50 plus 72 gives us 5 future starters. 3 on OL and 2 on DL.

Stinger226 Posted January 15 Author Report Share Posted January 15 I've been looking at RBs lately. Did we want the speed guy or power back in short yardage situations? I think Swift is our flash guy and Johnson a dependable backup, but more power on short yardage would help us in the red zone. This is a deep class and can get a good player with our mid round pick. Rahiem Sanders is 6'1"230 with 4.4 speed. Projected 5th round by Draft Buzz, he could fit that role. Lots of choices in mid rounds. Ian Cunningham comp pick would be a perfect spot.

Both of our running backs could use an upgrade, and I dont know any names yet, but I dont doubt your research. Consider also that if you upgrade the OL, every running back looks better!

He runs with power, heart, and determination. There’s also that chip on his shoulder. He could be a real workhorse that keeps drives alive by consistently churning out 4+ypc w/ an occasional long play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Mason is doing a lot of draft work right now. I'm using other people's opinions since they're putting in the time to look at tape that I'm not going to. Since I don't think Swift and Johnson are going anywhere this year, do we want a short yardage power guy, or a speed scat type of back? Someone that could do return work.

Stinger226 Posted Saturday at 04:21 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:21 PM As much as we could use a 3T to help with the pass rush, I like Dione Walker and Alfred Collins as huge NT types to fill in with Billings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
