[Otis Day]

Not a fan of caps that aren't in the team's colours.

Even in team colors I don't think I'd be a fan of it.

Not a fan of the straight bill. I like the unstructured hats better.

I have a Bears hat that is maroon, get compliments on it all the time. I also have a camo one that I use when hunting.

[Yogi da Bear]

Okay, I guess it's about time for me to do this.

First pick: #1 overall

I'm not selecting anybody else, because if we don't get Caleb, I don't want to win this thing.

The skull cap I won in the draft contest a few years back is getting kind of worn, I'm looking forward to replacing it after this year's contest:

That is a well worn cap. Do you rub it with 120 grit sandpaper every morning?

Just a fave that's been worn a few times. Don't wear it every day but this is a special occassion.

I’ll see your skull cap and raise you the hat I bought the day after the Thursday night Bears-Vikings game in which Jim McMahon yelled at Ditka on the sidelines until he finally put him in.

[Arkansasbear]

I’ve never worn it durning a draft but I will tonight.

Truly one of my favorite Bears games of all-time. I was going ape shit after McMahon came in and threw those TD passes (I don't tend todo this during games). I began to get a real good feeling about the team after that one.

Wear it tonight, brother, and let's see the magic flow again. This may be the most anticipated draft in my 60+ years of being a fan.

If Charles Martin doesn't commit the dirtiest play in NFL history and basically end McMahon's career, I think we win at least one more Super Bowl and likely about 3. That defense was THAT good. Sadly we had nothing at QB. Seems to be strong theme with this team.

Watching that game also. I wanted to toss something through the tv and I'm not a tossing guy. I agree, it cost the team big time. Should have permanently banned his ass although he never really had a career after his suspension.

[HisRoyalSweetness]

OK, so I've left my prediction to the last minute because I've been pouring over draft reports, watching copious amounts of film and reading every article about every player I could find... oh who am I kidding? I don't have a Scooby Doo! So like Bungo the Womble selecting his name from a world atlas I've just opened a couple of mock drafts, closed my eyes and pointed a finger at a random name.

First pick:
Choice 1: 7 pts QB Caleb Williams
Choice 2: 4 pts QB Jayden Daniels
Choice 3: 1 pt QB Drake Maye
(Come on, it's got to be Williams. If it's not it will be the biggest shock in draft history.)

Second pick:
Choice 1: 8 pts WR Rome Odunze
Choice 2: 5 pts DT Byron Murphy II
Choice 3: 2 pts OT Olumuyiwa Fashanu

Third pick:
Choice 1: 9 pts C Zach Frazier
Choice 2: 6 pts TE Theo Johnson
Choice 3: 3 pts DE Adisa Isaac

Fourth pick:
Choice 1: 10 pts WR Brenden Rice
Choice 2: 7 pts DT Kris Jenkins
Choice 3: 4 pts DE Myles Cole

If there is a logjam tie among multiple members, chaos will reign and I will come up with something, perhaps a parking lot knife fight.

Good thing I got a new knife for my birthday and have been practicing. This is looking likely. I’m one of 10 with a perfect score so far.

Draft hats at 10 paces...

[Burl]

I didn't get to watch last night but sounds like it was interesting at least.
Happy with the picks so far, but dang I wanted Bowers. Oh well.

Another thing, Im sure there are articles written about this, but first defensive player wasn't taken til pick 15?

Tells you something about how GMs value players these days. Defense barely matters.

I think it's just a historically bad defensive draft.

I'd vote Some of Both

You had about 7 amazing offensive players that stood out and needed to go first.
But after that, 7 more went until defense, and I'm not sure those second 7 were head and shoulders above the defensive options.

The pick's in, I doubt anyone picked him. Tie, Hema, well done.

[Bears Whiskey Nut]

I'm impressed with anyone that got the first three. I had never heard of Kiran Amegadjie before this weekend, but watching his tape, I'm glad we drafted him.
