Chicago Bears fans had mixed emotions Friday night when their team selected tight end Cole Kmet with the 43rd overall pick. Kmet is a local product which thrills Bears fans but is far from a perfect tight end prospect despite being the first tight end off the board.
I was welcomed as a guest by colleague Joe Ostrowski, evening host at 670 The Score in Chicago. Joe wanted to discuss my thoughts on the Kmet pick and how he’ll fit with the Bears. It’s a strange mix of Kmet being a project at the NFL level but also likely being the most complete tight end currently on the Bears roster.
I like the pick but acknowledge the Bears issues at other positions that remain with Kmet and Utah corner Jaylon Johnson being selected Friday night.
