lostfan Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Ryan Pace would've drafted a OT, but he would have traded Seattle for #5 and drafted Skoronski instead, because he had no patience or discipline at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm over that shock now, and I love the pick, dude is a beast, fills the biggest hole on the team, and they got a 4th for free because Poles was probably targeting Wright the whole time. Expand I think they were hoping for Paris - Cardinals did amazing today by the way. When Paris was gone - wright was the right guy and while I personally would have taken Carter I get it.

They clearly did their homework so if they weren’t sold on the personal issues, I won’t complain. Do have to hit on the lineman, I’ve seen the Bears miss on several first round OTs. Expand The Bears hadn't drafted an olinemen in the top 10 in over 40 years. This finally broke that streak. What I've seen said about Wright is that he should be a fantastic RT.

Chisoxfn Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Today I'm expecting they go Center and 2 dlinemen, although I could see them surprise us with a safety / db if they liked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Haha at Orsay. That said - I don’t like the idea of Bears reportedly looking to move up. I think price would be too strap - even though a Porter would be pretty good value or if they had their eye on a plus dlinemen - the bears just can’t afford to do it. I would prefer they make one move slightly back with one of the picks and end up with maybe 4 picks today instead of 3. 1 olineman, 2 dlinemen, and a db/rb/te.

Expand To me it all depends on how they value the DLineman left. If they think a guy like the NW kid or someone else as a first round talent, I'd definitely give up a couple 4th to move up. Also interested to know what the Bears think of Whitehair/Pack guy at OC. If they like em, maybe they wait on OC.
