Hall of Fame 2021: Jimbo Covert anchored powerful 1980s Chicago Bears teams on the O-line
It was either the offensive lineman of the year award he won in 1986 or the fact he never gave up a sack to Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor of the New York Giants. I would probably take Lawrence Taylor because it’s three games and they’re all big games,” Covert said. I felt like in order for us to win those games, I had to do my job and I had to do it well.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
GM Ryan Pace was handed a golden ticket when two quarterbacks fell outside the top 10. His time was now, and there was no reason to hesitate. The cost (next year’s first and fourth, plus a fifth this year and No. 20) wasn’t too cumbersome to pull the trigger. This has to feel like Christmas on Michigan Avenue for Bears fans. Fields will have every chance to push Andy Dalton out of a job.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
There were medical concerns with Jenkins’ hip injury that ended his 2020 season. But he’s a country-strong mauler who will be a great fit on a Bears line that needs him to start immediately. GM Ryan Pace has now traded up twice in this draft and potentially hit two home runs, assuming Jenkins is ready to go.
