Teven Jenkins, RT

[Mighty Joe Young]

So we still have three sixth round picks right?

Because I thought we started the draft with four. Or maybe we started with three and now have two.

Either way I could see them packaging the fifth round and the rest of their sixth round picks to move into the fourth round.

Love Jenkins but suspect he'll never be a LT. Not belaboring it as I hope I'm wrong, God, did I hate the CW pick. I hate taking 'finesse' LTs. If they fail at LT as they often do, Guys like CW and Spriggs fail everywhere on the line.

Its OK if he's never an LT, if he develops into a Taylor Moton or Lane Johnson type right tackle (which is well within his ability) it'll make life for the Bears very easy.

Think about who Jenkins is going to be facing this year in division play on running situations. Now consider when Kmet is lined up next to him in rpos. After this pick Ill be real surprised if Fields dont start game 1. Kids a fighter, he gonna get his.

Yup.

Not ideal but given how cap strapped the Bears are if all three end up being viable and one of those three does end up being our franchise quarterback, then it's a damn good draft

The Packers are soft up front. Bears just got significantly tougher up front.

@Montucky - Just curious if you're done cunting about prioritizing a franchise QB above OL help now?

 

[PFTCB]

Can ifedi play left tackle?

If anything, Jenkins said in his interview that he's been practicing LT all offseason, and would be the obvious replacement at that position as he's MILES ahead of ifedi in skills

 

[Collins77]

You plug him in at RT and you don't worry about it for 10 yrs. That's worth a 3 all day.

Actually, it makes it so Fields doesn’t have to be pressed into starting before he’s ready. This team can be decent with Dalton, and that’s a plus.

I am thrilled. I have doubts about Fields and I've made them known. It helps a tremendous amount that the player they "passed" on when they made yesterday's trade wound up falling into their laps anyways.

I'm going to try and be as positive as possible about Justin Fields, this pick was the best thing the Bears could've done to give their quarterback a chance at success.

 

[PickSix]

Well that was quick. What to do now? Lol?

Watch the Packers piss off Rodgers even more?

If that's true, that's really impressive.

 

[gallagher]

RT is just as important as LT. Plenty of the best pass rushers line up over the right side, and he'll be taking on one of the best in practice. I couldn't be happier.

This dude is nasty. A real bear of a dude. Couldn't be more fitting that he play in CHI.

do you trust the OC to call power running plays to take advantage of that?

We basically got the player everyone projected us to take if we stayed at 20 in the 1st.

Which is worth a lot more than a second and a third. Plus the Bears moved up pretty far from the sixth to the fifth.
