The thing is brown did it over 3x more pass sets than Jones. The bears coddled their tackles in passing downs.
Pass blocking win rate....
Braxton Jones: 92.8%
Orlando Brown: 91.8%

Wow what the hell are the Bears gonna spend money on now?
Austin Eckler.

I thought Clowney was already a free agent. Bud Dupree is a 3-4 edge only right?
I still think they need either Clowney or Yannick. Get Gaines or Poona for NT. Draft 2 DLineman in the 2nd round after getting your OT in round 1.

Him getting just 16m a year backs up everything thats been said. I heard teams around the league were scared to commit to him, not just the Bears.
To me, he was just a name, and I was fine passing on him. I believe Braxton Jones had a better PFF rating than him if I remember correctly.

Cox is now back with the Eagles. 1 year 10 million.
Greg Gaines and Poona Ford are still out there and thats about it.

Way to show up for the interview of your life
Yikes. The weight doesn't bother me too much, but him not being able to finish the drills is scary. Gonna be reallllly interesting to see what happens. I still can't imagine him dropping out of the 1st.

Did Cox get cut? Spotrac has him in Philly through next season
Weird, he's definitely a free agent.

I doubt Poles wants to sign anyone that's over 30. That's been a prevailing theme of his signings so far.
Ehhhh, it shouldn't be. Especially if they're trying to make some sort of push. I think having a guy like Cox on a line with a bunch of young guys, that should have some benefit.
-
You know what I'd do? I'd draft Carter and sign Fletcher Cox to play right next to him. Cox is said to be a strong leader so perhaps having a guy like him around for a year or 2 would help get Carters head on straight.
Ironically Cox owns a legitimate drag racing team.

I'd still absolutely draft him at 9.

Could the Bears go Northwestern go back to back with their 1st 2 picks? They've talked with Adetomiwa Adebawore about playing 3T.

It's Orlando Brown (or draft) or bust.
I can't imagine they go into next season with Borum as their RT. Not after what they've done this off-season.
Unless.... they wanna move Jenkins back out to RT, which I don't see happening.

Buckner could be had. Plus you have guys like Van Ness or a Carter in the draft. Options aren’t as bleak as we think and we can go cheaper at RT and than invest one of 2nd rounders in one of the tackles too. So go dline round 1, one of round 2 on tackle, maybe other on center or a rb/te/db?
Yeah, I'm off my game trying to post between stops at work. Edited my post to add in beyond the 1st round. Definitely some 3T options in the 1st, but beyond that it's bleak. I think they need to go OT in 1R.

The more I read about Walker, the more I realize he's likely to play as much (or more) at 3T than he is at DE, even though everyone listed him as a DE when the signing was first reported. He was most productive at 3T and LE for the Titans last year (3.5 sacks at each position; 10 pressures from LE and 8 pressures from 3T). Shout out to Adam Jahns for pulling that info.
I like the position versatility a lot. I didn't love the signing at first, but I understand why they did it. And I can't really complain when we need at least 4-5 new DL.
I made mention of that when he signed. Have to wonder if there's a plan to make him a full time 3T. Maybe give him an off-season to bulk up just a bit more too. I'd honestly be down with that plan.
I don't think they're getting a good starting 3T in the draft beyond the 1st round so they may have to get creative here.

signed last night
Damn. Didn't catch that one.
With a seemingly above average LB group, maybe a guy like Yannick, and his struggles against the run, wouldn't be so bad.
-
I'd really like to see one of or both of Poona Ford/Greg Gaines and one of or both of Clowney/Davenport.

So my assumption for Tunsil was KC may have been floating their first (as they did for Orlando Brown way back when). Similar in some ways, but Brown was coming on a 3rd rounder contract whereas Tunsil is on a full deal and looking to become highest paid LT.
But their pick this year is around 600 points on the JJ chart. Bears could offer the baltimore 2nd rounder this year and 2nd rounder next year and that's around 640 points of value.
I would do that, but can't say I'd do any more since he will be a huge cost.
I'd absolutely do that.
Starting to think they really like Braxton Jones though. I'm not mad at em for that either. I think if he puts the work in to get stronger he can be more than solid.
-
2 guys on the trade market that intrigue me. Laremy Tunsil and Austin Eckler.
Tunsil might be too rich for my blood, but I would really love a guy like Eckler given his recieving prowess.
-
Walker is mildly interesting in that there was a lot of talk about him as a 3 technique in the NFL. Wonder if that's a thought.
Highly productive in college at FSU. His 17 sacks were 2nd in the country in 2017.
-
Dalvin Tomlinson makes a lot of sense. I like him more as the nose tackle, but absolutely call be the 3T. I'd sign him and still look at a 3T in the draft.

Assuming Brown gets $25 million a year, they should still have around $5 million left in space. They can also cut Whitehair's $14 million cap hit too, but that might be after the draft in June.
According to overthecap they're at $53m before whatever Nate Davis is getting.
I'm kinda hoping we see a Whitehair/Patrick/Rookie OC competition.

I don’t believe this yet, nobody else is reporting it yet. It does seem like more specifics need to be worked out.
Same here.
That is assuming they don’t get Calijah Kancey instead and a tackle in the first round.
Do they still have the cap space to go get Brown and fill out the roster?
Kancey is absolutely going in the 1st round. Maybe even 9th to the Bears.

Or maybe they have their mind set on Paris Johnson.
Possible for sure. They were said to be in on McGlinchy so I think they'd like a vet
-
Taylor gone now too. Gotta grab McGary IMO.
Though you can probably find a RT in the 2nd round.

I mean if you bat 3 for 10 it's the same batting average if you go 30 for 100.
