I think it's better news for Will Campbell fans. Membou proved he can play OT. Bears could go all in on improving OL quickly.

Sources: The #Bears are expected to trade for #Chiefs All-Pro G Joe Thuney, as the Chicago continues to load up on the offensive line.

KC gets a bit younger, plus frees up some money to use elsewhere. pic.twitter.com/P0GdAd0WtW
It's a 2026 4th rounder. https://t.co/EzmhNqzyCZ

They have two young OTs already.

Does it concern anyone that Membou was relagated to RT in college?

No not at all. Similar to Wirfs only playing RT at Iowa

If we somehow got Membou, are you guys putting him at Guard next to Trent or RT?

RT. Can get a guard in round 5 to put next to Trent.
more important is who is our center.

Shanahan won't start 3 new guys on the Oline .
McKivitz doesn't need to be replaced. Not with a rookie. The chances that a rookie will be better are slim.
We aren't starting a 5th round rookie at LG. Not happening.
I also don't think there's any way we go Oline in the first.

Whether they start or not, this team needs TALENTED linemen, not just bodies. It's gonna be 2035, no superbowls, makeshift line, and lynch will be saying "i just don't see the point in drafting OL cus why start new players year 1?!"
