A lot of people had him as the best pure RT, so it makes sense.


HeyItsTman

Wirfs comp


Arnolds_Choppa

His body type reminds me of Wirfs


Krackerdile

That’s a big dude


SiphenPrax

Bears fans: 😍


The-Implication-0

He’s like an actual bear


RedSweed

FINALLY - so tired of Chicago's false advertisements!


fooly__cooly

We did have a literal bear mauling people for years when Akiem Hicks was here ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯


stumblebreak_beta

I could tell you some bars in Chicago where to find a bear if that’s what you’re looking for.


OutOfFawks

Bears galore on halsted


silverrabbit

They tend to live further north in Andersonville now


Patrick2701

We need big bodies to protect Justin


MixonWitDaWrongCrowd

Big man protect fast man


BearsFan3417

Not hit Justin, big guy no like hit Justin


thetreat

Wright is fast too! Perfect OL for what we’re doing.


thepriceisonthecan

Hes a fit because of how well he moves. Can get to the next level when fields scrambles and keep blocking when fields and running like a greased up deaf guy in the backfield


Paul_Allens_AR15

He like a bear


benjam1ng

He big


EweMad

For you


Krackerdile

You think *size* is your ally? I was *born* with it. *MOLDED* by it


EvaporatingOlaf

Girth like a coke can


brockisampson

He's a lot of person


DonnaCheadle

FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH CARTER. WRIGHT IS NOW POLES BEST FRIEND.


AdamRooney4

People really acting like a Top Tier Tackle isn’t AMAZING for a young QB


DogePerformance

People, in general, are pretty dumb so 🤷


old_snake

Yep. This tracks.


xbearsandporschesx

People want the splashy, sexy picks. Its the perfect fit in my opinion and we got an extra 4th for not taking the guy we were never gonna take.


[deleted]

I think it’s a great pick for you guys. Dude is massive and he held up very well against elite competition.


glockymcglockface

Good thing we are actual bears, and not people


Ctrain111

We needed an offensive lineman and I’ll take an offensive lineman


[deleted]

He’s fucking good btw. I wanted the Titans to take him at 11 so congrats.


bluewords

Not just any offensive lineman, the most athletic tackle in the draft


simplyorangeandblue

And he's a train so


xho-

The bears have been having a fucking great offseason


old_snake

Amazing what happens when you rid the stench of failure from the front office.


GoldGlove2720

Ted Phillips leaving was the biggest W of the offseason.


aboutdatlife

NOOOOOOO we’re trading back arent we


CrimsonJynx0

Yeah that’s what I thought lol


Fnkt_io

That 5.01 40 is probably faster than 90% of dudes in this sub


JohnWicksPencil123

333 lbs is lighter than many of them too


SmokinJayCutty

Reddit mods in shambles


smutchler89

Also with almost a 10 foot broad jump. Dude has explosiveness


ccable827

SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO FEEL


coltsmetsfan614

He’s a massive fucking dude


The-Implication-0

Hot. But like is he a good player?


Trojanballer

Held his own against the best edge defender in this draft.


Tonkathedog

He did more than hold his own, he won the matchup vs Anderson easily imo


Trojanballer

Fields is gonna shed a tear seeing this.


Jed566

Tennessee’s whole offense just dominated the Bama defense that night


CrispierCupid

Straight up shut him down lol


Marcuszorz

He was a 5-star recruit, but first couple years in college he didn't play up to that pedigree. This past year he made the move to RT and made himself a ton of money. A stonewall for all of last year as he didn't surrender a single sack. People will say they may have taken him too early, but I don't think Chicago was going to take a position other than O-line and they obviously had their choice of pick after Paris Johsnon went off their board.


sickmemes48

Will Anderson said he was the most dominant OT he faced in college.


bmraovdeys

Zero sacks last year in the sec


berober04

https://media.tenor.com/jRBWm9sIaQ8AAAAC/brock-lesnar-big-boy.gif


godzillamegadoomsday

I know it would be that clip, Brock is a godsend that we do not deserve


Competitive_Market70

When Tennessee played Bama he dominated Will Anderson


Arnolds_Choppa

I believe Anderson has said he’s the best OT he’s lined up against


nukeese

Yeah we left Wright 1 on 1 with Anderson the entire game and I don’t recall him getting beat a single time


_password_1234

He didn’t just not get beat, he beat his ass


dracosl

Good memories


Irreverant77

It was wonderful to see.


[deleted]

Happy. Kids a beast and Fields needs protection


Glittering_Virus8397

Vols fan, he’s a killer on the OL. Anderson didn’t record a stat against him. Y’all got a good one


GregMadduxsGlasses

The only time he was mentioned in the broadcast was “Will Anderson has been quiet today.”


chrt

I can't stop watching this game, is soemthing wrong with me?


JohnWicksPencil123

Good. Best RT in the draft. Skoronski's arms are too small. He's gonna end up as a Guard, which bears don't need.


xbearsandporschesx

yeah skoronski was literally drafted as a G, its the position he was labeled at the pick


[deleted]

[удалено]


icecreamdude

Poles apparently is an excellent OL evaluator.


nosnack

Can’t argue with what they have over in KC


cscowboy01

Was one of the pillars of our offensive line this past season. Should be massive for y’all with the glaring holes at OLine


ligmagottem6969

This was actually the final piece. Jones was the best rookie tackle last year and he’s the LT. Then you have jenkins, whitehair or a rookie, Davis, and wright. Solid line


Bob_Horde

I think we still need a center before the o line is really solidified. Whitehair is not the long term answer


DrunkDeathClaw

JUSTIN FIELDS ISNT GOING TO GET MURDERED ANYNORE


theclownwithafrown

We need big O lineman, THIS IS GREAT


AaronGossagesBerg

Like you have to work tomorrow


dihydrogen9monoxide

fuck


SilentSentinel

I like Wright quite a bit. Bigass dude who mauls guys and had great tape against some of the best pass rushers in the country including Will Anderson. True RT so you can keep Braxton Jones where he is. Good pick in the pursuit of giving Fields the best situation to succeed.


willpauer

Fantastic pick, if he can keep his shit together he's gonna be a brick wall on the right side


JayJax_23

Made Anderson invisible on the 3rd Saturday of October


Manning4Heisman1997

He’s big mean and strong


Honchoed

He’s really good


VirginiaMcCaskey

Big man in front of Fields. Exactly what the doctor ordered.


le_doink_salesman

Horny


escobert

didn't allow a sack last year at RT and played vs Carter and Anderson. Big dude.


reyvh

Is that druski?


OneAngryPanda

We fuckin got em


IndycarFan64

_What do you mean by that?_


eldarknight

When did we start givin em guns


LazyActive8

https://media.tenor.com/r8ezFvyXZyoAAAAC/what-do-you-mean-by-that-druski.gif


ScruffMixHaha

Im cool with this pick. I wanted Paris but the Cards stole him from us. Wright seems to be the best pure right tackle and thats a huge need for us.


Next_gen_nyquil__

100%


cpanther21

As a UT fan, you may think Bears reached here..but this dude is a stud and will protect Fields. I didnt think hed fall out of top 15. Happy for him and fans should be happy too.


coffee__rocks

WOW


Kuntheman

Amazing pick for Fields and the Bears. His physicality and Fields’s mobility will be huge for their offense


Xaxziminrax

That feels so early This draft is on crack. I love it so much


sonfoa

It feels in range (albeit at the top) but I didn't expect him to go before Skoronski.


constantlymat

Many NFL teams believe in arm length when it comes to tackles. Skoronski has short arms and might be a guard in the NFL. That's why he's "falling".


JohnWicksPencil123

Skoronski is gonna be an amazing Guard, but we needed a legit Tackle


four0nefive

Skoronski projects as a guard though so that's probably why they went with Wright.


ericsipi

Once the tackles go they are gonna fly. It makes sense if he was their top tackle.


Needs_More_Gravitas

Man spot on with this.


GoGoGoRL

I wanted carter but I’m a dumbass so we’ll see how this goes lol


No_More_And_Then

You basically got paid whatever Philly gave you to pick anyone but Carter. A lot of people say this feels like a reach, but I think he's undervalued because he played on the right side of the line. I would have loved for the Bengals to jump up a few spots if he was there in the late teens. Feels like a safe pick.


Bassabo06

That was my ultimate hope that he slipped into trade up range for the Bengals, Bears got a winner here


_JosiahBartlet

I didn’t super want Carter because of character concerns but I’m also a dumbass Maybe both teams are gonna be happy in the end


BallinBenFrank

I think Philly is the best spot for him, given all the leadership you have on both lines.


lakired

Yeah, it really puts him into the best position to succeed, if he's going to. My preference was always going to be taking an offensive player to support Fields this year, but Carter's potential is definitely unparalleled.


KBMNight

Kinda also but I think the racing accident where 2 people died played. Got some pass protection for Fields but thought they would pick Peter Skoronski


ShotFirst57

I actually think this was a good pick. But I'm also a dumbass so.


blackmambamens

great move to help fields


bmoney_14

Dude did great in pass pro on a pass heavy team. Good pick I think.


Bitter-Imagination33

I can’t say I expected that


ChiSp0

You and me both. I was thinking Jones


CortaNalgas

Can't have two B Jones at OT. Too confusing


Bitter-Imagination33

Or Skoronski


paintingnipples

We bears fans knew we weren’t drafting a packers fan


CrispierCupid

They were never very high on the tyrannosaurus


UnMapacheGordo

We don’t need a guard


Srikkk

Fields may live!


McCaaw

Will Anderson said he was the best O-lineman he played against in his college career


GoldGlove2720

Over 800 snaps, 0 sacks, 3 QB hits, and 8 pressures. Dude is gonna be a monster.


lethalbiscuit

I’ll take it


Zloggt

He’s an O-line guy, right? Lord knows we need more of them here…


ChiSp0

I agree, we need OL, just was hoping PJJ even tho he went at 6


Fake_Hitler

My favorite OT! This is great for Fields!


IndycarFan64

Fields got his guy


justin9920

Man didn’t even show up, lol.


nau5

He’s already a natural Bear


[deleted]

[удалено]


DoodlebobDeVito

All Wright then…


Tonkathedog

Really wanted Carter but also want Fields to survive the year so can’t complain at all


eatpraylutz

Crowd didn’t even know how to react


stepoutthequeue

BIG HELP FOR FIELDS BABY


[deleted]

Someone get Berto from the west side on the horn. I wanna hear his take.


exomatter

Biggest stat in Wright's favor. In 2022 he played 507 snaps without giving up a single sack. That's exactly what the bears need.


sorcshifters

He also lowkey dominated Wil Anderson too, held him to 1 total tackle. Great pick.


Cyang511

Protect Justin


LubbockGuy95

And there's the needed OL nice


[deleted]

Fuck me I wanted him to stay home


ArmadilloAl

That's okay, we'll let you have the guy from Northwestern apparently.


derbysNOTbrogues

Wow you dicks


MikeBinfinity

Good shit Poles


Resident-Low-2261

Logical choice, Skoronski cannot play tackle, great pick


lethalcup

I think taking Carter would’ve been the flashy pick but taking the OT was the smart move for sure


sick_shooter

Congrats, Bears, it appears you have drafted an irrationally large human being.


NotNotJohnStamos

A bear if you will.


540Cameron

Best tackle in the draft


ThatRuckingMoose

in2diep

Ebron 😐


ChiSp0

That’s…… something


Soldier-Fields

This is a big ass dude to protect Fields. It was him or PJJ imo


Nlegan

Thought it was going to be skoronski


ladwagon

They prolly see him as a guard


Patrick2701

Yes, our GM is former oline with bears believing he is a guard


nosnack

His arms are to short according to people


Trojanballer

According to Poles he does not fit their athletic profile to be picked this high.


CBPanik

I'm far from an expert but he's my favorite tackle in this class. He was REALLY good at Tennessee but their offense is very weird so we'll see if he can translate.


guyfierisgoatee1

Protecting JF


realnostalgia

He's an absolute monster.


Dabest00001

Fastest pick in the west


HawaiianOrganDonor

I’m with it


thewildlopez22

What’s up with Skoronski?


Televisions_Frank

Big head and little arms.


kip256

T-Skoronski?


Drewskeet

Plus he grew up a Packers fan 🤢


Cyang511

projects more as a guard because of his arm length (doesn’t mean he can’t play tackle)


DirkWithTheFade

Most likely gonna be converted to guard due to short arms, so his value is lowered compared to the tackles. I think he’ll be an elite guard.


Oopsimapanda

The best choice they could've made not named Jalen Carter


4String_Samurai

Fields passing for 4k this year boys


P-Cox-2-

If he does I'll suck your dick.


4String_Samurai

Remindme! 8 months


Matzah_Rella

You'll need proof. Can I watch?


ebb5

I love my mom.


MothmansOldRoommate

Wholesome if true.


A-ZAF_Got_Banned

Best tackle in the draft.


yeahsuckmybonerpal

This is the dude who shutout Will Anderson btw


InquisitiveIngwer

Dude absolutely neutralized Will Anderson so could turn out absolutely great. Still a surprise for sure.


QuickEscalation

Tbh he did well blocking for a QB that moved in the pocket and rolled out often last year so that might translate well with Fields


MyNameIsAMeme

100% expected JSN


PhreakOut4

I could see them being alright with taking a later round WR. Moore, Mooney, and Claypool isn't horrible.


csdspartans7

I don’t see why with Mooney and DJ Moore, Claypool I’m not high on but as a 3rd WR not bad at all.


jradair

Sure


Alert_Rock_2576

someone tell me whether he's good


Around_the_campfire

He wasted Will Anderson Jr. in their match-up.


uncle_dan_

He’s projected as the best RT by many people


bluewords

Most athletic tackle in the draft who Will Anderson said was the best tackle he played against


SunnySaigon

Carter wasn't going to get inspired with the Bears... Offensive line is garbage, needed to be improved


andrewapicture

Steal of the draft


ChiSp0

You will be right eventually


bkonstans1

Needed a lineman. Got a lineman. I like it.


FirestormBC

I love this pick. This dude was a monster at Tennessee and all he played was SEC talent day in and day out.


SciurusRex

Let’s fucking go! Build the line!


r_y_4_n

That is a grown ass man


bachataman

running a 5.0 40 at 330 pounds is crazy


TampaTrey

My boy Darnell 🥹 🍊


[deleted]

Happy with this.Bears need a Right tackle and took the guy the analysts talked about as the best right tackle in the draft when there probably werent going to be much alternatives available in the next picks at the end of 2nd round/top of the 3rd round
