I feel like they need to trade down from 50 now, because they need a DB and an OL. Kmet may be a pretty good player, but you just gave Jimmy Graham a bunch of money and you have literally 9 TEs on the roster already.

Based on projections, couldn't they have traded down from 43 and still gotten Kmet?

 

I mean, I guess someone has to be willing to trade.

Thats always a risky game. If he's your guy you take it.

 

Underwhelmed, but hopefully he hits all the bullish parts of his scouting reports and this post looks silly in 2 years.

We have 9 te’s, 7 of whom we could prolly cut

Jimmy Graham on a 2 year deal shouldn't affect your draft plans.

 

Besides the Nagy offense should be able to use 2 TE sets.

 

TE has a reputation as a position that guys struggle to make a big impact at as rookies. Hopefully Kmet breaks that trend.

My best available for the Chicago Bears today:

 

1. Grant Delpit, S, LSU

2. Josh Jones, OT, Houston

3. Denzel Mims, WR, Baylor

4. Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama

5. Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama

6. Antoine Winfield Jr, S, Minnesota

7. Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU

8. Yetur Gross-Matos, Edge, Penn State

9. Lucas Niang, OT, TCU

10. AJ Epeneza, Edge, Iowa

 

 

Ideally, the Bears can get two of these guys at 43 and 50. If McKinney comes off the board, watch for Pace to potentially trade up for Delpit. Jones is another possible trade up target, IMO. Be nice to get one of the top 3, and then trade back with 50 and get a guy in the next tier along with another pick either late tonight or early tomorrow. Or else, we got a long wait between picks. Be much easier waiting if the Bears pick up one of the top 3 and another of the 4-10.

 

And the bears get none of them

Raws list aside, Kmet was a get.

 

Johnson? No idea

Jaylon Johnson looks pretty good statistically. QBs were 4 of 31 completing passes beyond 10 yards against his coverage.

 

I preferred Trevon Diggs, but I think Johnson is a better fit for the Bears' scheme. Press cover guy that has ball skills. I had him as a borderline 2nd/3rd round pick. But I might have underrated him based on the stats I've read.

Jaylen was talked about possibly going first, but as mentioned on the broadcast has the shoulder injury.

Going 1st or IN THE 1st?

I think you know the answer to that.

The way you wrote it, he’s like Dion Sanders, with an injury.

 

I mean, I’d horsefeathering love the value in that but I haven’t heard anything about him.

Interesting my nerdy ass noticed this week is the Bears have no DB jersey numbers available. Every number in the 20s, 30s and 40s is taken except retired numbers 28, 34, 40 and 42.

 

Means Jaylon Johnson will probably have to take a doubled up number of an offensive player like 29 (Cohen), 32 (Montgomery), or 35 (Nall) unless they cut a DB or force someone not making the team to change.
