    I'm real close to going full blown Becton hater to be honest. Between the weight issues, the constant struggles in camp, the fact that I wanted Wirfs over him in the draft. I'm getting really salty.

    I get being pessimistic but keep in mind he's got Dan Feeney inside right now. I want to see how he looks with AVT back before I go full panic mode on Becton.

    That's one of many reasons I want Stingley or Elam in next year's draft.

    If we have a top 5 pick in next year's draft, it has to be Thibodeaux or Stingley.

    The success of an LT taken 11th overall shouldn't depend that much on who's beside him.

    I disagree. The OL is a unit, the play of each one affects the other.

    Would I like for Mekhi to be dominating right now? Of course, but I'm not ready to write him off because he's struggling against some really good EDGEs.

    FWIW, Ferguson took about 3 years to become an above average LT. He had his share of growing pains early in his career.

    Before I go around breaking things I have to remind myself that we are playing a 13-3 team led by the leagues MVP.

    Meanwhile we haven't done any work since Saturday except one padless skill practice, and had a travel day, while GB has been practicing all week. It makes a difference.

    I find it hard to believe the Jets new he would need back surgery and the bears didn’t. More likely they didn’t want to risk a possible surgery or just loved AVT imo.

    Saying we knew about Jenkins back problems so we traded up for AVT makes no sense.

    Also possible the Bears knew the risk and drafted him anyway thinking they liked the player enough to take the gamble.

    This was a very difficult year to access medical issues due to Covid restrictions. I did read after the draft that a number of teams had flagged him for medical reasons. I do not know if the Jets were one. But, they did seem awful thorough.
