Da Bears sign OT Matt Pryor

One of the better signings in my opinion. We need someone that can play minutes at tackle today. While there's prospects in the draft, there's not a lot of true tackles that are in our draft range and that I think are better tackles today then Mckivitz, Burford, Moore. Have to move up for Freeland. Likely have to move up for Bergeron and I think he's moved to guard at first. Saldivieri likely moving to IOL as well. Maybe developed into OT, but we need minutes today. RT of course, but wouldn't be shocked to see Trent miss a few as well. At minimum this takes pressure off to move up for o line. I'd still be inclined to look at o line in the 3rd, but time to start looking at 5th round prospects for development and depth.

Bolded the guy I think we'll target.

He's a big dude! Road grader

Per @PFF, new 49ers OL Matt Pryor had 241 pass-blocking snaps last season for the Colts. He allowed no sacks and eight pressures, which is no too shabby.

I think that's wrong. Maybe a couple of years ago.

2021 looks a lot better.

Error message: Those are the numbers from 2021. In 2022, Pryor took 388 pass-blocking snaps and allowed 6 sacks and 31 pressures, which is kinda shabby.

Wonder what happened. Probly fighting through something.

Veteran competition for RT. He was bad for Indy last year so I'm guessing this is basically a vet min deal. Bring a guy in, shake the tree, see what happens.

Dude this draft is so insanely deep at RB, there's no way that Shanahan will be able to resist drafting one. Its like walking a fat kid through a Krispy Kreme and telling them they can't have any. Don't deny Kyle that.

Just not in the third round this time please.^^
As for Matt Pryor, it´s another guy for the O-Line. It gives less urgency to reach for a RT in the draft. I don´t like this idea to trade up with two of the third round picks to get someone.

Well looks like O-line may not be a top priority in the draft.

It better be!

Right. Id still want then to target a tackle with one of the first 3 picks. Competition, depth, someone that can start if necessary, etc.

To add, we need bodies for camp. We are filling out a 90 man roster, not a 53. Get the best 90 you can find and let then battle it out.

I'm saying this RB class is so deep he can wait until the 5th round, or the 6th round, even the 7th. t.

4 7ths give you a great chance to take a flier. Got 4 guys signed for 2023 so there really is no reason to draft one any higher.

For sure. Now we've replaced Daniel Brunskill and basically, Colton McKivitz (swing T). We still want to bring in a real challenger to Colton McKivitz esp. because we know OL drop like flies around here.

No doubt. But it does sound like we might need to trade up if we're looking for a legit starter and not developmental hope for next year.

Somebody mentioned we hopefully will now draft a power back, well if Jordan Mason isn't a power running back I don't know who is! He is a beast who in his limited carries as a rookie averaged 6 yards per carry is going to be their red zone go to back down the road!

My guess is that Pryor will sign a deal in SF or Chi before the draft. Not many healthy 6'8" 340 men with experience are roaming the planet. Pryor = Depth

— Brian Baldinger (@BaldyNFL) March 23, 2023

Tremendous depth signing, Baldy would certainly agree.

Love it! More competition all across the roster

Good signing.

Versatile Oline guy.

Can always cut him if we get someone better. Until then, he can fill in where necessary.
