Looks to me like a bigger faster Randall Cobb type.

He could play RB or WR, as well as return kicks...and has the
speed this team needs. Nagy could use him all over the field.
Only potential flaw I see in his measurables is somewhat small
hands...

On NFLN Daniel Jeremiah has USC LT Austin Jackson at #40 and
calls him a day 1 starter.
Maybe it�s time to cut bait with Leno and draft this guy with
the first second round pick.

Not sure if Bears can cut him if thats what you mean by cut
bait. I think not only did Leno recently sign a new deal he
also restructured it. So a release of Leno might not be cap
friendly (as opposed to Gabriel/Prince A.).
Other options though include moving Leno to RG or moving
Jackson to RG or RT.
We all know that Leno was inconsistent last year but the year
before he was a pro-bowl alternate. Maybe the new coach helps
him regain his focus.

Leno was a 7th round draft pick and it�s admirable how he�s
developed into an average or so LT.
He�s surprisingly decent as a run blocker and has been barely
competent as a pass blocker.
He really struggles against speed rushers and this prevents the
QB from extending plays.
Leno was alarmingly bad last year as was the whole line and I
haven�t heard any media, analyst, coach or player
be able to explain why.
Everyone says Heistand is a good coach and won�t place blame on
him.
I heard Kyle Long on the SCORE 2 weeks ago and he had no
explanation.
Years ago under Jauron the Bears had guys off the street at LT
and another position or 2.
They were awful to start the season but improved as the season
wore on indicating good OL coaching.
We didn�t see that improvement last year only continued bad
play.
To get to the point, to me it depends on what Castillo thinks
after his film study.
If he finds we have 2-3 guys not physically capable there have
to be changes.
The 2 biggest problems last year were QB and OL. You could get
2 starters on the OLthis draft, which is described as deep for
OL.

We obviously need to replace Long. I would hope we dont push
some other player such as Leno to RG to replace Long.
When I read about this guy . Someone exactly like this is who we
need. And This guy is no 2nd rounder.
[B]Logan Stenberg (OG, Kentucky)
One thing the Bears seemed to lack on their offensive line in
2019 was an �ass-kicker.� Somebody who played with nastiness and
an edge. Kyle Long filled that role for years but lost it due to
injuries. Stenberg would be somebody who could bring it back.
Everything about the guy is blue collar. He battles on every
snap and doesn�t back down from anybody. His pass protection is
solid and is rarely caught off guard by anything the defense
does.[/B]

Leno, I always thought was more of a finesse pass blocker and
not a strong run blocker.
Leno gave up 7 sacks in 2019. But he also gave up 7 sacks in
2018.
The big difference in 2018 he had zero holding penalties. Last
year he was flagged 6 times.
I don't what his problem was last year but I don't think it was
physical.

Remember the sweeps they used to run behind Leno under Loggains?
Leno�s not a drive blocker but he can seal the edge and block
downfield
