OK. what happened to the Kansas flash we got last draft?
[/quote]
He was drafted in the 5th round and probably should have waited
one more year before declaring for the 2024 draft. He's raw.
Only had one year of starting experience and only 2 years of
college ball.
You can't count on him being a starter next season, but you also
can't count him out either.
I think the Bears should have rotated him more into the lineup
but he showed some flashes but generally played like a 5th round
DE with potential. He's got good length and explosion but
needs an offseason to put on some bulk and basically grow.

It's too early to start earmarking players at draft slots, but I
would have no problem with any of these scenarios:
1) Draft the best available DE and find interior Olineman and a
DT after that.
2) Draft the best available OT and play him at guard initially
with an option to move to LT in the future.
3) Trade down still staying in R1 and pick up another pick in
the the second or 3rd rounds.
Bears currently have 4 picks in the top 75. They're not going
to be able to fill all their holes in the O-line and D-line in
the draft but they need to find 4 starters. And then of course
free agency.
Big decisions obviously with Jenkins and Keenan Allen.
Other holes exist for backups at WR, TE, HB and safety and LB.

Bears taking McCarthy out to dinner for an interview tonight.
I have mixed feelings about this. He’s like the single rather
than the sliding into third triple. Cooper Rush even looks like
a quarterback although he couldn’t fix Dac. He’s the safe pick.

I'm likely in the minority here, but i think we should retain
Jenkins, and continue to work on getting his training regimen
don to play in the NFL. I would move Jenkins to right guard
where he and Wright made a strong combination in 2023, and look
to fill center and left guard positions. I am still attempting
to sign the top guard in FA, and draft 2 interior lineman in the
first 4 rounds. Jenkins could be like Marc Columbo. Columbo
was a first round choice who was oft injured with us and then
went to Dallas and had 3 full seasons as a starter before his
last season with Miami... I think starting 14 games with them.
We cannot replace them all.

Get the two best guards and center they can find, either through
draft or FA. Draft a top RB and Edge or two and move
on....that's how it'll go more than likely....

We need an upgrade for Braxton Jones, sorry. Amagadjie is NOT
that upgrade.

They really need a DT. Anyone playing next to Dexter after
Billings went down got steamrolled and they tried 3-4 guys
there.

If you can get an elite d-lineman in R1 at 10 whether a DT or a
DE - go for it.
I think you can probably trade down for an offensive lineman and
still get a quality guy in R1.
Amagadjie did not impress, but he's a rookie from Yale and was
injured for most of the year so he really didn't benefit from an
offseason program. The guy just seemed a step slow and really
didn't know how to use his arms - he was constantly letting
defenders into his body.
I thought Braxton Jones has long arms - over 35". Amagadjie
is over 36". Darnell Wright 33 3/4.
If you don't have both quick feet or long arms - you're a guard.

Amadajie like Velus Jones was a Poles “I’m smarter than everyone
else “ reach third round pick. He missed all training camp so
hasn’t had any chance to develop.

very true. How can he develop when he is always injured or
recovering from injury. Yale isnt a football power
