2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

noooooo! either QB or LT, no other pick at number two makes any sense. Now maybe LT at 2 and bundle picks to get a lower qb, but ONLY IF the FO is convinced of a QB.

Seriously - I think all of our sacks came from the left side today. They need to get their strategy locked in before FA so they can either grab a tackle/guard or both in FA - if you're going QB with the first pick of course. If they decide LT is the pick and they wanna let Howell/FA retread/2-4th round pick duke it out so be it. One way or another we need at least 1-3 o-line starters in FA.

Well, there are other options to address the OL. Supposed to be a very strong FA class.

As long as we address OL in a major way, than I am good with other thoughts. But we won't know that till March, for now OL and QB need to be a priority, along with a DC that has a clue.

I think bears stick with fields or trade out

It is? says who? Not what I have heard. Very strong draft class at OL, strong FA class at Edge rusher. FA OL are always over priced due to demand and not many good ones are allowed to hit FA. There are said to be starting quality OTs going to be available in the second round, not Pro Bowlers, so if you go QB in the 1st then one or two OL in the second, or package for trade up, would seem to be the better plan

So don't take the best football player in the draft...?

Honestly, if they take a LT, QB, or Marvin Harrison Jr. I'm going to be happy. Nothing beyond that makes sense - unless they trade out.

IMO I'd rather have Harrison at number 2 than a LT. LT can be addressed in round 2.

I’d be really surprised if they stick with Fields. 3 years and 38 starts is enough to know he was a bust. He had another in a string of bad games to finish the season

probably so, they could think adding harrison then pairing with DJ may boost fields

Didn't you mean AND trade out? If they stuck with Fields (and I doubt they do when they have 1st overall) why would they pick a non-QB with the 1st when they know someone will pay a kings ransom for the #1?
