Misread your post. I agree. And I would probably part with the 3rd if I had to. Would like to hold on to the two.

I disagree. I think they need quality rather than quantity in the situation they are in. The past few years they have had to cut later draft picks who couldn’t make the roster. Also, our picks are late in the round. Our 4th is really almost pretty much a 5th, especially with all the comp picks at the end of the third. And we have two picks within 7 picks of each other in that area. I would gladly give it up if it means I can get an actual first round graded player with upside like a Johnston.

I could see him doing what he did last year, move up to get Johnston then move down in the 2nd and 3rd to recoup some picks. I think you shoot your shot in the first if they can get a guy they really want and figure out the rest later.

Trade got vetoed! So i just picked

With the 9th selection in 2023 Draft, the Chicago Bears select Paris Johnson, Jr., OT, Ohio State. I was debating Wilson, Johnson, Skoronski, and Jones..with Wilson gone it comes down the the three OL. I think Johnson is probably the best OL in the draft. Skoronski is awesome, but Johnson is a true left tackle will tremendous feet and 36 inch arms. He is still very young so there is a lot on the bone there. All reports are that he is a highly intelligent player and a great process guy. Drafting Johnson has a ripple effect on the OL, the biggest weak spot for the Bears. Johnson goes to LT, Braxton Jones moves to right, Teven Jenkins goes to LG and we signed Nate Davis to play RG. That leaves Patrick and Whitehair or a future draft pick to compete at center. @Virgil @Big Blitz and the Eagles are on the clock.

I was convinced that Tyler Bray would be what Josh turned out to be. That was my guy…oops.

They get posted on the thread and then Virgil changes the OP and keeps it updated. @wppete on the clock

I love Skornoski, but agree he is not a left tackle. If he went to play left tackle for a team with a great qb who gets it out quick, his PFF grade would be through the roof…. I think he is an all pro guard…and if he moved to center he would be the best center in the league…even better than Humprey. Gasp…. But he is polished, super smart, great athlete and body, bloodlines, and just 21 years old. He will make it.

I like Foskey. I’m starting to fall hard for Mazi Smith as well, I know he’s a DT. I just really like the DL in this draft and the value might be there at 27

I”m probably in the minority, but if its not MLB, I think they will take an edge guy in round 1.

Good You know after this he will get eaten alive while racing a live cheetah. He will 100% do something really stupid and people will talk about CTE…when in reality he’s just an idiot.

Most of these guys are going to get terrible deals. Its a couple of weeks before the draft and they still are not signed. We have more cap space than the seahawks. And a better chance to win.

Man Boogie could have 20 sacks and people would still be talking about Creed freakin Humphrey.

Frank Clark…grabbing a hired gun from KC to beat them would be pretty cool. He had times when he is unstoppable. Being a part of a rotation like ours is exactly what he needs to lengthen his career, plus he was released so no comp pick impact.

Eagles, Bears, Giants

I’m typically a measuarables and projection guy. Addison seems very meh to me. Good solid player. I do like JSN a lot. But I tend to skew the 6-4 guy who jumps out of the gym. I agree that he could wind up being the best receiver in the class or a massive bust. There isn’t much in between.

He’s definitely got some boom or bust. But at least there is some boom. The other guys just aren’t really all that impressive to me.

I’m all in on Johnston if he is there. Love him. The upside is huge imo. I honestly don’t like the other guys aside from JSN.

Probably. He wasn‘t asked to play in the box much until this year. It kind of reminds me of how PSU used Brandon Smith, a ton of slot nickel and coming off the edge a ton. Simpson has football instincts for sure, but not the eyes in the back of his head instincts of Campbell. It’s kind of the same story with Drew Sanders. But Simpson isn’t the pure pass rusher Sanders is. Simpson is a really good blitzer with a ridiculous motor and tremendous character. All that said, Simpson seems to be the type of player this regime would covet. Campbell is plug and play. Simpson will be very good, high ceiling, and Sanders offers pass rush flex if they wanted to bring in Rapp as the second nickel backer next to Milano.

Starting to be a good amount of smoke around Dallas and Trenton Simpson. So that is something to watch. Could be something, could be a smoke screen for their interest in a guy like Sanders, maybe Campbell. Perhaps they want someone else and trying to push the Bills to grab an LB.

Fleming is a journeyman jag. I question whether he is even better than Quesenberry. Brown could be something special, is cheap, and still young. I would take a 1.77 million dollar flyer on Isaiah Wynn. Young guy in his second contract needs a change of scenery and a chance to prove himself. But Fleming is a no for me. Fleming was interesting 5 years ago.

I never believe the running back stuff, its the best smokescreen, but the he rest makes a ton of sense.

There are some very long threads with lots of breakdown of both these guys. I think its in the Tremaine replacements thread. So the notion that most of the people here are old heads who want an unathletic mullet wearing white mlb is just kind of childish. All these guys are being discussed in other threads with a lot of great analysis. This thread was unecessary.

Yeah it was reported very late in the process that we met with Elam, but was never on the walterfootball list. Thats the point I was trying to make on the other page. You have to take these lists with a grain of salt. Its smokescreen time.

Definitely an interesting list, but you always have to be careful with reported visits. It seems like they are either leaked by the team for a reason or the player lets it out by accident. Like when you look at the full list on the site not one team has met with Jack Campbell…really nobody? So I’m just saying it is an interesting list to look at that is certainly incomplete.
