Yeah, I think he was.
And he was also, honestly, he just brought up Tevin Jenkins.
He was also a Tevin Jenkins casualty.
casualty because that's when everybody thought oh okay you've drafted your guy you highly drafted player tevin jenkins there you have your left tackle and we know that that all imploded and tevin jenkins ended up being a guard and braxton jones the seventh rounder ended up being that pick or that guy fifth rounder fifth rounder yes yeah leto was the seventh jones was the fifth
And that's the other part here, because it does seem like a seriously complicated issue unless we look at it as and say, okay, somehow, someway, this coaching staff got that Theo Benedict, undrafted guy, just sat around in his first year to be effective at left tackle.
Ozzie Trapillo, who missed the offseason program and looked like he was going to be, at the very least for the year, a project and maybe a guy that plays, but probably a guy that's not going to play.
Do we have enough faith in this coaching to have to say, yeah, you could patchwork it for another year.
You could get away with Braxton Jones.
And I don't think they will with Braxton Jones just because they sort of said it from the beginning.
We don't really care that much about Braxton Jones.
Yeah, he's our starter.
We're going with Braxton Jones.
He did win the left tackle competition.
But after that, once he was replaced, he was replaced.
8-4-7, Bears at 25th pick should draft the best available at either left tackle, edge, or defensive tackle.
I mean, right now at number 25, if I had my pick out of those, I'm still defense, though, by a hair or two.
Oh, I'd be okay with them drafting a defensive tackle.
Yeah, and what's Grady Jarrett got left?
Is Jervon Dexter?
Are we just about out of time on Jervon Dexter?
