I've been thinking that Poles would go with a defensive line player, and Carter would certainly be tough to pass on if he falls. But now i'm pretty firmly on the Paris Johnson train cause i'd rather see Fields and the offense have everything it needs to excel and carry the team while the defensive rebuild comes a little later. It's entirely possible though, if not likely, that Paris gone by #9 though.
Poles has shown that he'll go by his board though. Two defensive backs with his top 2 picks last year when everyone was screaming for a wide receiver shows that it's entirely possible that a guy like Gonzalez could be the pick, or maybe even JSN if Poles has him rated highly enough, even though OT/DL are bigger needs.
The only team in front of the Bears that might take him I believe is the Raiders barring a trade up by some other team.
1st two picks are QB.
AZ will probably take Anderson.
Indy - QB
Seahawks have young bookend OTs…
Detroit - Carter, Wilson or CB - They’re set at OT.
Raiders - maybe QB with Jimmy G. as a bridge
Johnson could land here.
Falcons - They have Matthews and McGary at OT - Is Ridder their answer at QB?
They could grab JSN. They have Drake London and a bunch of garbage at WR. Their second corner is 33, so a CB could go here too.
Bears -
