00:00All right, so the 10th pick is a new day for the Chicago Bears
00:03because it's Ben Johnson,
00:04but I don't know that it's necessarily a guarantee
00:06that he goes for a skilled position offensive player,
00:08although those are the favorites if you look over on FanDuel.
00:11Tyler Warren, the tight end from Penn State.
00:13I mean, I think we all at this point understand
00:15he's going to go a lot higher than was projected about a month ago.
00:18He's going to be a top 10, top 15 pick for sure.
00:20There's Gentee if he was to fall down, and he's 5-1.
00:23Then we have Banks, Loveland, Graham,
00:26and Michael Williams makes his first appearance here at 11-1.
00:29So the narrative is going to be it's Ben Johnson,
00:32so he's going to take an offensive player.
00:34Is that the case, you think, tonight?
00:36Well, a couple things they're in play right before they pick at number 10.
00:40I mean, the Panthers have been more and more attached to Jalon Walker,
00:43the linebacker, there to make a lot of plays.
00:46And then the Saints all of a sudden have pivoted all the way
00:48from Shredor Sanders to Michael Williams.
00:50So you'd think offense is lining up to be the best position available.
00:54And maybe the Jaguars are also creating something to say,
00:58hey, we might take Gentee, and if you want to trade up to get him,
01:02you're going to have to do it aggressively.
01:05And look, if you want him, we'll listen.
01:08And the Raiders definitely would be the team to jump if you're the Bears,
01:11because they love Gentee.
01:12They also like Omari and Hampton.
01:14I think it's a little bit too early to take a running back there.
01:17But when you look at it, I mean,
01:18Tyler Warren is starting to make a little bit more sense for the Bears in particular,
01:22because, again, Ben Johnson uses a lot of 12 personnel.
01:26They don't really have a dedicated inside receiver that isn't Cole Komet
01:30with Keenan Allen gone.
01:32So they could use more two tight end sets where their two receivers really support
01:36the heck out of Caleb Williams here, and they improve their run blocking.
01:39So they could be a better overall interior inside offense here with Ben Johnson.
01:44So that's a good idea.
