 are we cutting any of these guys?

Gipson - Robinson - Jones - Walker - Green - Billings - Dexter - Pickens

Unless Robinson shows up out of shape and goes into slacker mode, he's not getting cut.

Or he just isn't that good and they find better players.

Do the Bears draft a C? Do they still have Kramer on the roster? If so, they have 3 Centers already. Whitehair, Patrick and Kramer. 

Not sure why he dropped so far, but there is a need at DE, and it would make sense to grab Adebawore with the first pick in the 4th. Wasn't Dawand Jones high on Poles OT list? He's still there and might be an upgrade over Braxton Jones, even if they are enamored with B. Jones. 

Gotta figure there are still holes at DE and might want to get more depth at LB, S, WR and RB.

If you aren’t going to invest in the top line individual player and instead go with a quantity of lesser impact players, you will, by necessity, be cutting holdover guys from last years awful line.

I think adebawore was seen as a 3 technique in this defense.

Stevenson is probably my favorite pick so far.

Seems small for that role. Between size and speed, he seems more like a better fit as a DE. But, I'm no expert on the subject.

Why don’t they just make the whole line out of 3 technique 

[Soul]

Apparently we traded down again

[Brian707]

103 to 115 and Saints 5th round pick

So they got back a similar pick to what they gave up to reach for the cornerback?

[jersey cubs fan]

Two 4s and Two 5s.

 

im guessing one interior OL, one DE/EDGE, one DB and one LB. 
 

Then wild cards for the 7th rounders.

Could see him using 3 of the 4 and doing the multi trade back like last year to load up on late swings.

Certainly can’t rule it out with him, but at some point you run out of space for bottom of the roster filler. Could be more useful to trade out for 2024 picks. Another 4th rounder next season is more capital to potentially move up for impact guys in that draft. 
 

they could theoretically turn those three 4s into an additional 2nd and really load up at the top.

Good to see today has gone poorly so far for the Bears.

[jersey cubs fan]

Whole bunch of interior lineman taken ahead of bears 

[jersey cubs fan]

Okay, a running back. Really filling in that special teams depth chart.

The second best Texas RB in this draft yay

 

i have no idea about any of these guys. Doesn’t seem like guys that I’d want but no one really knows how these things will turn out

At least it wasn't a reach. 

So far....

Wright B-

Dexter C-

Stevenson B

Pickens C

Johnson C+

[WrigleyField 22]

Another Senior Bowl guy, though he was on the other roster.  Bears really leaned into that scouting opportunity I guess.

Eh I personally think the bottom is still pretty barren and needs comp. But I readily admit if you load up on 6ths and 7ths you won't hold onto them all.  Last year they redshirt IRed one and lost another off the PS.

High praise since Herbert and Foreman are solid backs. 

 

Bye Ebner.
