The first two guys obviously due to injury and Tyreek obviously had some performance issues within there and is trying to find kind of his footing as he goes into the contract year here for the first time in his professional career.

So I think that group as a whole is really interesting to kind of figure out how they individually

attack this spring and then how collectively they come together in a way that makes Dennis Allen's defense come to life, because those three guys are guys that can be big time difference makers for you and really move the needle if they're playing at a high level.

And so I think I think watching that kind of unfold over the next few months is going to be neat.

edge, offensive tackle, defensive tackle, right?

Like any of those, right?

Like I think those are the four main positions.

And that's why I've said for a while now that, that the menu of options available to the bears is intriguing because it allows you to be flexible in case the board breaks in a way that you would rather it not.

Right.

That happens a lot where you're like, Oh man, we expected this guy to be here for us.

He wasn't, but he,

Check this out.

This column stacks up really nicely for us with this position group and the player that we really like at the top of it.

And so I would think that Thursday night gives them a real opportunity to find a guy that they believe in, right, and can move forward.

Now, the offensive tackle position to me, guys, is the most interesting because

You talk to people around the league and it's like, if you don't get one on night one, you're not getting one.

And so I feel like that's kind of the cutoff of where you're going to have to decide, do we really want to force that issue or are we okay with this Braxton Jones, Theo Bennett, Jed Wills competition?

And so, you know, that's part of the calculus.

And they've done these preparations, they've done these simulations, and they'll go into Thursday night prepared for whatever the board brings them.

420, baby!
