At 43, I'm fine with either a trade down or BPA, unless Trevon Diggs is there.

He's too good to pass up at 43, and it's a demand position that is somewhat weak in this year's class.

Some mocks have him available there, some don't...

Here are some later round prospects that are interesting.  Possibly support trading down.

I saw the Stanford TE play a few times and he's a tall mismatch with good hands.

I know the OL, WR, TE are serious needs, but getting Diggs and Winfield would be beyond epic.

Diggs and Winfield, and I take our defense over anyone's...and we are more than well equipped to face off against the Vikes, Pack, and Lions passing attacks...

Isn't Winfield like 5'9? Kinda small for a SS.

His father was a mudder.  His mother was a mudder.  Seinfeld reference

I think I posted this from the Suntimes:

DRAFT SPOTLIGHT

Safeties

Grading the Bears’ need: Medium-to-high. The Bears have an opening opposite Jackson after losing Clinton-Dix, but Bush is a thumper who should be a capable complement to the ball-hawking Jackson. Bush started three games in 2018 in place of Jackson — including the wild-card playoff loss to the Eagles — without incident.

On the roster: Eddie Jackson, Deon Bush, DeAndre Houston-Carson, Jordan Lucas, Kentrell Brice.

The five best draft prospects: Alabama’s Xavier McKinney; Southern Illinois’ Jeremy Chinn; LSU’s Grant Delpit; Minnesota’s Antoine Winfield, Jr.; Lenoir-Rhyne’s Kyle Dugger.

Keep an eye on: Iowa’s Geno Stone — a football-gene guy at a position where instincts are huge. The 5-10, 207-pound Stone is pegged as a special-teams player at the NFL level, but could make an impact at safety in the right situation. “The most underrated player regardless of position,” according to Pro Football Focus.

Close to home: Southern Illinois’ Jeremy Chinn is a late-bloomer who has been rising up draft boards faster than any safety since UConn’s Obi Melifonwu in 2017. A nephew of 2020 Hall of Fame enshrinee Steve Atwater. With his size, explosiveness and physicality, the 6-3, 220-pound Chinn has a versatility NFL teams crave.

Mike Brown was 5'10" 205.  Same size as Sweetness.  Winfield can play safety for us.

A prospect that has favorable mention here:

Small school prospects give me a worry when the competition gets tougher, like it did to Shaheen
