[Tom Pelissero] Shemar Stewart top 30 visit is today, Kaleb Johnson also visiting this week

Curious if our FO has shown a tendency to pick from guys they’ve had in for 30 visits, or if they aren’t really indicative of who their top guys are. Every team does it differently.
Please for the love of God do not take Stewart at 10. That’s the only pick we could make that would actually make me angry
Wouldn’t mind Johnson in the 2nd at all. Good pass blocker, solid hands, good vision behind blockers (everything Swift lacks). I think Stewart at 10 is a bit of a reach, but at least it would address our biggest position of need.
I like Stewart. He’s incredibly athletic, and his production issues are overblown. He‘s a great run stopper. Sure, he had trouble finishing, but he generated a ton of pressure (39 pressures last year, if memory serves) despite A&M’s lack of blitzing
Gross to both
My brain autocorrected Shamar Stewart to Shedeur Sanders and I was so confused
Is there a link to the list of names that have visited so far or is that kept private unless the player reveals?
Kaleb Johnson’s 4.57 speed concerns me. We don’t need another Roschon.
Shemar is one of the guys I really dont want the Bears reaching for innthe first round
Unless Jeanty falls it is going to be a matter of Poles making the right evaluation of 10-20 players.
In other words: be afraid
I feel like this sub will have a meltdown if we take Stewart, but I do think hes in play at 10 and I also think its not a bad fit. With Dayo/Sweat, theres no urgency for him to be a great pass rusher day 1 and he can develop his pass rush plan. The lack of production is certainly a cause for concern, but its not a sure sign hes a bad player.
Honestly he reminds me a bit of Rashan Gary who, while not elite, has been a very productive player for the Packers. Hes by no means by favorite pick at 10, but I wouldnt hate it.
Shemar is a guy you take a chance on. He’s an elite Athlete. He had a great senior bowl. He flashes on tape and he’s there as a run defender. It’s not like his tape is horrible. I’d be happy with Shemar at 10. Dennis Allen does a good job with pass rushers as well. Montez, Dayo and Grady Jarrett are there to mentor as well
Love Kaleb in the second. The guy is just a football player.
Absolutely not. Stewart and Walker are my “don’t pick” prospects at 10. Walker doesn’t fit the scheme at all and Stewart literally doesn’t know how to play football. Yes, he is an amazing athlete but there is a reason why he didn’t do the cone drills. He is stiff as a board and it shows on tape. He is a worse Rashawn Gary and it took Gary 3 years to become a good number 2 pass rusher.
