defiantgiant Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Apparently LSU's left tackle, Ciron Black, still hasn't signed with anybody. I have no idea why the Bears aren't on the phone with him right now. His lack of agility and range means he's not a left tackle in the pros, but he could project to either right tackle or guard. The guy is seriously durable and consistent (made 53 starts for LSU,) and he's a good run-blocker with enough size/strength to help in the run game. I'm sure he wouldn't be able to hold up in pass-protection at left tackle, but as a developmental guard or right tackle prospect, he seems like he'd have a ton of upside.

Look at it in real time......there is a reason he didn't get drafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defiantgiant Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Look at it in real time......there is a reason he didn't get drafted. Right, it was his 5.5 second 40. But who cares about an o-lineman's 40 time? Especially a guard. I don't know...a lot of analysts were really surprised that he fell out of the draft. And it's not like it would cost anything to sign him on the cheap and bring him into camp to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but if he sucks he sucks and there is no need to bring him in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only knock on him that I've seen is that he'll probably have to switch positions. But that's cool, because Chicago doesn't need another LT.
