    Post-Draft mish-mash

    Boy, I think this draft is going to split Bear fans

    Camp 1. Obviously BJ in charge now, and as such, he’s finally ushering the Bears into the modern NFL of offense and playmakers

    Camp 2. TE & WR were ‘luxury’ picks, and Ozzy was a big reach at LT in the 2nd. Poles shoulda stayed put and drafted trenches and HB – Draft Day Butch

    This is an informative Greg Gabriel interview [before day 2] cuz it shows how the sausage is made. Some insights.

    1. “James Pierce just doesn’t give a fuck”. No wonder he dropped some. Huge risk
    1. ‘Mike Green was off the board for some teams, so you know he was never on the Bears’ board’
    2. Scourton had 10 sacks at 256 standing up. As DE at 280 lost explosion. 5 sacks
    3. Colt’s Insider msged Greg Gabriel that Bears drafted right TE
    4. ‘Ppl say, ‘trade down’, the Colts would’ve traded up for Colston. Other teams were trying to do same
    5. That praise for Warren and Jeanty trade-up talk was to throw teams off Bears’ target: Loveland
    6. Gabriel contacted DR. Shoulder will be alright. Sounds worse than it really is
    7. OT Ersey is not a fit for Ben’s scheme. He doesn’t move well enough
    8. OT Charles Grant is basically another Kiran project
    9. ‘This was a good draft for oline, just not LT’. Doesn’t think Wright athletic enough for LT
    10. ‘HB is a one-contract position now. Is that value?’
    11. Alfred Collins had INJ concerns. ‘Not one big thing, just a lot of little shit’

    Day 3

    1. Daniel Jermiah comped Ozzy to Rob Havenstein, Gabriel thinks Ozzy like Mike McClinchey
    2. Ozzy has athleticism and bend to play OG, though true, not many 6’8 OGs
    3. “Shemar Turner is a bad MOFO”

    Bears director of player personnel Trey Koziol on CB Zah Frazier: “We brought him in for a 30-visit and this guy was unbelievable. … Outgoing. Really self-aware. Had to take the long route to the NFL … but we absolutely loved having him in the building.”

    Adam Hoge@AdamHoge

    Summary on CB Zah Frazier from #Bears director of player personnel Trey Koziel:
    Height/length/speed guy. Got his hands on the ball a lot last year. Can turn and track the ball. Good instincts. Fits Dennis Allen’s desire for length/speed on the outside. 30-visit was great. A lot of energy.

    Butch post-draft musings

    1. BJ wants speed, speed and more speed. I think all draftees were fast for their position or ran a great 10 yd split [short area burst]. BJ wanted to give Caleb some easy completions. DJ/Rome/Kmet aren’t really ‘separators’. Loveland and Burden are.
    2. Shemar at 290 is a 3T. HOWEVER, Allen stated he likes his DEs about 280. Shemar loses 10 pounds, he’s a DE
    3. Bears needed a 3T and DE. Shemar may be both. He played INJed last year [stress fracture], but in ‘23 racked up 6 sacks
    4. Bears either nabbed BPA [Loveland/Burden] or “reached” [Ozzy/Hyppolite]. Add all the tradedowns, and it’s understandable why many fans are ‘wtf?’
    5. Poles may have reached for OT at #56, but look at draft. Another true OT [not projected OG] doesn’t get picked after Ozzy ’til pick #91 Emery Jones who may not fit BJ’s scheme.
      OT Charles Grant went #99, but he’s basically another Kiran project. So essentially the draft went a whole round without drafting an OT after Ozzy #tiers
