Olu Fashanu and Joe Alt are great prospects and LT is a really important position, but Jones has been pretty solid this year. Is it worth it to use one of our picks on one of them if they’re there?

Maybe this depends more on what our other needs end up being and who’s available at that spot.

    It is nearly impossible to have too much quality depth on the O Line.

    I don’t see the bears taking a tackle in the 1st rd. Too many other glaring holes and you said yourself, Jones has been solid

    If the season were to end today, draft needs would likely be a QB > DE >WR > C > then tackle. I doubt Braxton Jones has to compete at all next season.

    Braxton Jones would be wasted as a swing tackle. He currently has the 7th best pass blocking grade among all left tackles in the NFL and pass blocking is what they make their living doing. He either starts or he is trade bait. Teams don’t really trade away good left tackles.

    I think Braxton is too good to be a swing tackle. If we could get a good return for Braxton in a trade, I’d be OK with picking one of the prospects, though.

      I’m encouraged by Nraxton, but not yet sold on him. I know he’s a PFF darling but he gets flagged for a lot of penalties. Maybe now that Sweat is on OUR team he won’t give up too many more sacks and pressures?

      Seriously, he’s gotten better in pass protection but I’ve seen him fail the test enough times in the past that he needs to sustain it before I’m convinced we’re best off passing on Olu or Alt.

    It’s QB > WR > DE > DT this draft. Don’t see us talking a OT.

      We have Billings and two promising picks at DT. I wouldn’t say it’s a need at all, other than depth.

    What if: at 5 (Current spot) if MHJ is not available nor DE. Take Olu or Joe or trade back.

    Reality: Wait 7 Weeks see final draft spots and how the team plays.

    If we do I’ll fucking kill myself. MHJ or nothing.

      We’re not getting MHJ. Patriots and Giants are also bottom 3 and could very easily take MHJ. We’re not getting a QB and MHJ and as great as MHJ would be we need a QB to throw to him.

    1. Braxton Jones sucks. He is severely overrated by Bears fans

    2. Maybe? All depends on how they feel about Fields
