But if you look at the first round, especially with the Bears, I look at the spine of the defense, and when I say the spine, defensive tackles, linebackers, safeties, and then I look at the left tackle position.

And those are the two spots, you know, the left tackle position was feeling pretty good a few months ago, and now it's become a big position of need with Ozzie Trapilo.

So if I look in the first round, though, that's right when the offensive tackle run is going to happen.

I think in the teens and then to the early 20s.

So the Bears might be right on the cusp of that end of that run, or they might be in the smack dab the middle of it.

But if the tackle foray doesn't go well, or if it's not the guy that they want, there's some tackles that are more right-centric.

Blake Miller from Clemson.

The guy I'm very excited about is Max Heinischer from Arizona State.

He's a right tackle, but I think he's athletic enough to bump over to the left side.

But those are some names.

Caleb Lomu from Utah is a name I actually think would as perfect for draft spot.

position and what the Bears need.

I am very high on him and that player team fit.

But also safety is another position that could be, you know, Kobe Bryant was a great signing.

I really like that signing.

He fits this defense perfectly in Chicago.

If you get him a running mate in Dennis Allen's defense, I think that could really turn that area into not only just a strength, but a dynamic strength.

and the guys there are Dylan Tieneman from Oregon or Emmanuel McNeil-Warren from Toledo.

And I have them right next to each other on my big board.

I prefer McNeil-Warren just slightly, but very, very similar as far as, I wouldn't say play style, but as far as how I tier them.
