I don’t feel many guys who played RT in college will be top 15 picks…Tyrone Smith was a one off because of how athletic he was and everyone knew the only reason he was playing RT at USC was because of Kalil…I’m not so sure if he has the ability to play LT in the pros but I would like to see him a few more times this season…especially against LSU’s two speed rushers where he will be constantly tested. |
Do you think the lack of quality LTs will cause the few that there are to get overvauled? I feel like that's what happened this past draft. _________________

Without a doubt…I feel the lack of great Oline play around the NFL is solely down to the rise of the spread offence in college…Olinemen simply aren’t asked to do the same things in college as they are in the pros so it’s becoming a position that is almost harder to project than WRs now…I would hesitate to draft Oline from anything but a few programs around the nation right now. |

As much as I say it in a joking way, it would be great to get one of those interior Alabama kids into a Bears uniform. Tough guys from a pro-style offense. _________________

Yeah Warmack or even Jones would be a big help...I like the other kid Steen as as well. |

No one is going to penalize Matthews for playing RT since there's a first rounder already playing LT on the team. |

I still think you have to take into account that you haven’t seen him against the best pass rushers of the opponents but as I said I would like to see him play against some of the SEC Dlinemen…especially LSU. |

| Played Texas. Dominant in the first half. Struggled a bit in the 2nd. |
