It’s very doubtful the Bears pick an offensive tackle at 14th overall. Mainly because it’s doubtful one will fall far enough to justify such a move, but also factoring in that the Bears have more pressing needs on defense, and there will be a defensive player worthy of that pick when the Bears are up. Of course if one did fall this far -and he was clearly the highest rated high floor/high ceiling player on the board over all others- I would not be surprised to see Bears GM Phil Emery turn in the card with said player written on it. I know at least one media member who mocked an offensive tackle to the Bears and that’s long time Chicago football media member, and occasional Chicago radio personality Hub Arkush. As a matter of fact its my first choice in this blog should the player fall, and the Bears be motivated to choose him at 14 overall.
