When looking for 3Ts in the draft, expand your search to the DE ranks.

I think an early day 3 pick might get Oliver. No idea what he’s looking for long term, though…

Kiper thinks the Northwestern guy (Adebawore) might be a great 3T…

Re: Oliver’s Instagram, his most recent story was 3 videos…him sacking Goff, him sacking Rodgers, and him sacking Cousins.

Assumptions were that it was an audition video for the fourth team in the North…

Non-1st round guys with 3T potential (half-assed amateur scout warning!):

Keion White, Georgia Tech
Gervon Dexter, Florida
Keeanu Benton, Wisconsin
Colby Wooden, Auburn
Zacch Pickens, South Carolina

He's going to cost 100 million and a 2nd rounder....

 The draft ... the trenches both sides of the line.

 EXCEPT : If the motor city goes Jalen Carter then all predictions are off.

 What we would need is a RB with speed to get past that fatbody.

 In the first round ... any ideas?

I know sacks can be over-rated but he had 2.5 sacks in 2022.  PFF ranking 43/127.

He's not a 100 million dollar man.  Daron Payne didn't get $ 100M.

Bears might give them the best 3rd rounder in the NFL for him - looks like the best draftable DTs are nose tackles, undersized, or projects.

Apparently Oliver replaced his Goff sack in his insta story with a Fields sack...

The Bears are adding a linebacker who should also be a heavy special teams contributor.

Chicago has reached an agreement on a one-year deal with Dylan Cole, the team announced on Thursday.

Cole spent the last two seasons with the Titans. In 2022, he appeared in 15 games with eight starts, recording 64 total tackles with four tackles for loss and a sack.

But while Cole played 37.5 percent of defensive snaps, he was on the field for 65.9 percent of the club’s special teams snaps.

Having entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2017, Cole was also a heavy special teams contributor in his first four seasons with the Texans.

In 61 career games with nine starts, Cole has recorded 147 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, and two interceptions.

Why haven't the Bears signed Yannick Ngakoue?  Is it because Poles now doesn't trust Eberflus's recommendations at DE with the year that Muhammed had last season?

I would be hard pressed to pass up on the two elite LT's at 9. can move Jones to RT and that will drastically improve the O-line. Can add a center or guard in 2nd or 3rd round and its a finished product.

The DL class is deep this year, and we have 2 1st's for next year. can move around and target DL next year.

Ideal scenario is someone falls in love with Levis, he falls to 9 and they offer a ransom for that pick, i'd trade down in that case and still target o-line in the 1st. Cowboys  and a few other teams have shown that drafting Oline in low 1st high 2nd is a great play.

Sounds like you are in love with the Cowgirls. If the Bears dont fix the Defensive line it wont make any difference how many OTs they draft.
