This prospect reportedly is Ryan Poles' target if he trades down"
We've got the scoop on who GM Ryan Poles might have his eye on if the Chicago Bears hold onto their #9 overall pick. Several experts think that defensive tackle Jalen Carter is the top choice if the Bears don't make any moves. However, if Carter is off the table, it's anticipated that the Bears will attempt to trade down. Poles is keen on amassing more draft capital and capitalizing on a class with impressive depth. So, who could the Bears target if they trade down?
Well, rumor has it that Georgia left tackle Broderick Jones is catching the attention of many within the organization. He's seen as a more powerful version of Braxton Jones, boasting exceptional athletic potential. While Jones still has some technical kinks to work out, he's demonstrated his prowess against the nation's top competition for two years, earning two national titles along the way.
Jones is part of a trio of premier offensive tackles in this draft class, considered to be top-tier, dependable first-round prospects. This elite athlete gives his all on every play and is a born left tackle. He would make an immediate impact as a starter for the Bears. With the team in need of a right tackle, Jones could easily transition into the role, having played it for 34 plays before stepping up as the left-side starter in his final year. Johnson, on the other hand, played right guard for a year before taking on the left tackle position but only played right tackle for seven plays. Although many scouts believe Skoronski is destined for stardom, it's likely to be at the guard position due to his shorter arm length.
Georgia has consistently produced quality offensive linemen in recent years, such as Ben Jones, Cordy Glenn, Isaiah Wynn, Andrew Thomas, and Jamaree Salyer. Broderick Jones has the potential to outshine them all. His unique combination of size and athleticism is hard to come by. The Chicago Bears appear ready to bank on those qualities, despite the fact that Jones still has room for growth.
