00:00My projected record for the Bears is 9-8, before we even see the schedule which is released May 14th and when they play, who they play, which matters I think, but 9-8 right now.
00:12I want to be fair with this draft, evaluating it, because I think grades are very difficult to give out three days later, just because you haven't seen them in pads yet, and certainly that goes for every team and every pick, but this is what we do.
00:27So I would say B-. B- because I feel like there's too much curiosity and a little much creativity and not enough sure things.
00:39Now, when you talk about the first couple picks, I love the possibility of Colston Loveland and I love the possibility of Luther Burden in this offense.
00:49Luther Burden compared to Debo Samuel is unbelievable if that happens, and we could look back and he could be the most dynamic player in this draft.
00:58Colston Loveland, I think, is going to be a Pro Bowl tight end.
01:00I think he's going to get open and find ways to be a star in this offense.
01:05I think that was a very good pick.
01:07Both qualify, to me, under the category of luxury items, though.
01:10So, for me, this draft, moving after those first two picks, a little too much dessert, not enough meat and potatoes.
01:21I think when you went into this draft, you knew what you needed.
01:24You needed to be fed.
01:26You needed to be nourished.
01:27And you needed to have your offense get a running back and a left tackle.
01:31Now, this could all be a moot point and sound like it's overly critical.
01:38If Ozzie Trapillo ends up being a better right tackle than Braxton Jones is a left tackle,
01:47then possibly you move Darnell Wright to left tackle and you get an offensive line of some pedigree and certainly that you can work with.
01:55I don't know if that's in the plans or not.
01:58But if there is no depth chart, it's got to be among the possibilities.
02:01Because if you draft a tackle in the second round, the idea would be to play him.
02:06How often did we say those second round picks have to be ones that are starters?
02:11So, a few too many questions for me to go any higher than B-.
