A lot of interesting stuff in here. Where they failed Justin, what they can do to help Caleb. One thing I thought stood out “19 offensive line changes in two years” under Eberflus. That is nuts. You cannot convince me that any team with zero pro bowlers and 19 OL changes in two years was getting quality line play. No chance.
Will be very interesting to see what the Bears do at 9. I am warming to the idea of Brian Thomas Jr. I really think they need to go WR or Bowers unless Alt is there (unlikely). I would not spend that pick on defense.
A trade down at 9 (especially if the top 3 WRs are gone) is appealing, but you have to have someone who wants that pick and is willing to give you a good price for it. 9-10 is where things open up so unless someone is in love with a player there not sure a trade down will be there. I wouldn’t be opposed to adding BrendenRice. If they don’t add a receiver before that I think you’d almost have to draft him.
