Now I'm back to thinking they won't. They would've signed a more true stop gap like Humphries or Wills if they wanted to take a T in the 1st, or thought it was likely they will. They went out and got a young guy that they legit think has a shot at being a starting LT.
I think it's more likely that they take a guy on day 2 the more I think about it.
Guess I have to do a new mock again really soon.

I am not a big believer in Jaylon Moore but he is more athletic than I thought with solid footwork and seems to have a good idea on how to use his hands and handle bull rushes.
It feels like they needed something now and pulled that trigger bc you never know what will happen in the draft.
I will say that Conerly and Simmons (if he’s cleared medically) are better options than what we’ve seen recently from tackles in the late first rd minus Anton Harrison.
Last year the insane run of QB’s, Bowers and tackles pushed studs like Jared Verse, Dallas Turner and Laiata Latu down the board. It feels like the inverse could happen with a ton of DL, a couple of TE’s, some corners and QB’s. Mocks have shown around 9 DL picked before 31 and so did the CP mock.
One last thing to keep in mind: who needs a LT after the Bears? Maybe the Packers? The Texans if they choose to address it and redshirt a prospect? Anyone else that hasn’t put a big asset recently into that position or already have their guy?
Feels like a damn near lock that one of Simmons or Conerly will be there for us.
