Agree with BillSharp given the depth available in this year's draft class. There are at least a handful with the talent to step in and start game 1.
I've seen Liam Eichenberg rated as the 10th best Tackle in this draft. If that is accurate, he could be available to us in round 2 and I would consider him an upgrade from Leno.

Zach Wilson pro day on NFLN right now. He's really impressive.

The 49ers have traded up to #3...Dolphins get the #12, 2022 1st and 3rd rounders, and a 2023 1st rounder.

Philly has now traded the #6 and the #156 to Miami for the #12 they just got from SF...plus the #123 and a 2022 1st rounder...

Trading back up to 6, they can probably get the top WR on their board...assuming the first 4 picks are QBs and Cincy takes either an OT (Sewell) or a TE (Pitts)...

If it’s not a an they’re really overpaying for anyone in this draft.

If I were Bears GM I would not trade up trying to get a top QB.  I would stay at 20 and see if any of them dropped to me (anyone remember Aaron Rodgers falling to 20).  If one of the QB or OT is there at 20 I would draft them.

If neither position was there I would trade down to the end of round 1 and pick up some draft picks.  I personally would draft OT/QB with one of my first two picks.  Kellen Mond is starting to grow on me as a 2nd rounder.

I've liked Mond for a while now but I agree he might not be there in R3.  I like the trade down in R1, but I think there should be a quality OT at 20, if not trade down a few spots and maybe pick up that pick in R4 that was lost with the Foles trade. 

I was hoping Mond would be there in R3 so the Bears could go corner in R2.  Might have to swap that.  The other guy that was brought up here by dave23 or davebear was the Stanford QB Davis Mills.  He's big but supposedly not mobile but did recently ran a 4.6 40.  Only 13 starts at Stanford.

 He might be there in R3.

Apparently the Bears have been their homework. There wont be any combine so its prodays and personal interviews and teleconferencing. So the Bears have been doing

their homework on Mond. Its good to hear they are interested in him

I too think its a good plan to maybe drop down from 20 if they think a certain available player doesnt have a 1st round value.

We really need 2 CBs in the draft if the opportunity presents itself.

The tape never lies breaks down Andy Dalton.  Maybe he CAN run Nagys offense???  I guess we wait and see.  QB in round 2 or later works IF he can.

Would it surprise anyone if the Bears went edge rusher with the first pick?

That might be the position that falls the most to 20.

If they saw the need and if the player graded out with a 1st round grade and sort of fell into their laps @ 20 no I wouldnt be a bit surprised. But I seriously believe they have to go Left Tackle if a quality tackle was there @ 20
