00:00I just wonder, where do you put the left tackle versus the end
00:04or the defensive tackle?
00:06The center is important.
00:08It depends on the quarterback and what he's capable of doing
00:10and what he's capable of doing at the line of scrimmage.
00:12And the things I talked about that a center can help the quarterback do, right?
00:16What I mean by organizing protections, making checks.
00:19You guys see the Chicago Bears a lot of time walk to the line of scrimmage
00:22with two plays, right?
00:23That's a package.
00:24Either it's a run, pass, run, run, or pass, pass.
00:27And the center and the quarterback are reading the defense
00:29and putting the offense in the best situation they can with the play that is called.
00:34So wherever you think Caleb is in his development in doing those things
00:39at the line of scrimmage is how important you think the center position is there
00:44and having an older guy like Drew Dolman, a guy who can do those things
00:48in the middle of your offensive line is where you would rank them.
00:50I would say this, I don't know all of that.
00:53I would say, okay, at any of those positions, Molly,
00:57you're trying to get a guy like Drew Dolman.
01:00You're trying to get a guy who's playing at an elite level.
01:02You're trying to get a Pro Bowl-type player.
01:04And then that's the most important guy to get on the field.
01:07You need blue-chip football players.
01:09You need guys who are one of the top, you know, four or five at their position.
01:14In the NFL, you need guys who play at a high level to compete at a high level in the
01:19NFL.
01:19So whether it be a tackle, you can get yourself.
01:21I don't see him out there this year, but if you can.
01:23But, you know, you guys talked about Tyler Lindenbaum.
01:25He's a guy, right?
01:26Connor McGovern may be a guy who can play at that level for you.
01:30Can you find a de-tackle?
01:31Can you find guys out there right now that you can trade for?
01:35I heard you guys talking about Thibodeau, right?
01:37Or would they trade Edmonds?
01:38I'm thinking, man, do they have any interest in trading as their left tackle,
01:40Andrew Thomas, right?
01:41Do they have any interest in doing things like that?
01:45So those are the things that, in my personal opinion, yeah, positions are important.
01:51But guys who are playing at a Pro Bowl level in their prime is important.
01:56And that's why Drew Dorman was such a get.
01:58That's why Jonah Jackson was such a get for the Chicago Bears.
02:02That's why Joe Tooney, who ended up being the protector of the year,
02:05was such a good get for the Chicago Bears.
02:07Because here was guys who walked in the door playing top 10 in the NFL at their position.
02:13Blue chip type players you talk a lot about in the NFL.
02:16You got to have 8 to 10 to compete on a weekly basis on your roster, right?
02:21Can guys rise up?
02:22You talk about, Molly, their defensive line, Shamar Turner, Javon Dexter,
02:26second round picks, right?
02:27Zach Pickens, Austin Booker, Dominic Robinson.
02:30Does Javon Dexter, is this the year he becomes a football player that Chicago Bears want him to be?
02:35Can they develop him into that?
02:37Those are the things when you're on the market.
02:39First of all, you got to look.
02:40Who's here?
02:41Who's the Pro Bowl type player here?
02:43And then you have to know your team and you have to know the puzzle
02:46and you have to know how all the pieces fit
02:49and what kind of football player you need there at the center position,
02:53at the left tackle position.
02:54That means that the Chicago Bears need this kind of football player.
