    One thing I see of this class, its most likely you are going to get a good RT.

   Sewell is a solid T as a player can get just not great. Vera-Tucker played LT and did a really good job but experts say he belongs at G, I would still pick him to play T. Cosmi has grown to be a good LT but there seems to be personality concerns and that would be a shame because needs to bulk his body a bit more to solidify his spot as a great LT prospect.

   Jenkins and Mayfield are my top RT prospects that could possibly move to LT. Both are mauling players but Jenkins attitude and technique brings it to another level.

   Darrisaw and Eichenberg I project them to maybe slip to Rd2. Darrisaw I consider to be a raw player that is physically gifted to be a LT, even with limited technique he dominated often. Eicheberg gets the job done as a LT but has his struggles, he could be a little bit of a gamble.

   Radunz as well can be a gamble coming from a less competitive division but showed promise with his game. Ealy is one of my favorite players to start at RT but could end up at LT because of his size, strength and reach. Carman is an experienced LT that didn't dominate but comes with some knowledge to pair with his big frame. I have Leatherwood lower that other rankings, I consider him to have a dominant physique and long arms, but I don't like how he moves, he seems sloppy with his feet but won't matter if defenders can't get to his sides.

   Little is the last probable starting LT I project that plays good enough with some inconsistencies, a reason for this may have been because he played hurt in 2020.

   After these guys there are still some good prospects but come with bigger question marks.

   If the Bears stay put at #20 there should be options for them to get either Vera-Tucker, Jenkins, Cosmi or Darrisaw. If neither of them are here or maybe there's three of them available, I would strongly consider trading down a couple of spots to still get one of them and get an extra high mid pick that they really need to bolster their current roster or I would consider getting a high pick for next year to give Seattle for Russell Wilson post draft or have ammo to trade up for a QB next year.

While it's not a bad idea to double dip at T this year, It's a gamble to think that the Bears would come out with a pair of starting tackles, it's probably best to think about upgrading at the IOL with a mid round pick at C that can compete with Sam Mustipher or a promising RG that can be plugged day 1 and push James Daniels to C and Cody Whitehair to LG. Best case scenario would be if they can get better at LT with their R1 pick and play Germain Ifedi or competition at RT, more likely scenario is getting a mauling RT and get stuck with Charles Leno Jr. for one more year and pray he doesn't get the QB killed.
