According to the current 2025 big board at the NFL mock database, there are 12 DTs inside the top 53 players (which is nuts!) and 5 EDGE prospects in the top 25. Poles plans ahead. I think this draft pretty much proved that. He will probably take 2 or 3 DLine next draft when we have all those sweet...

32 to 31 isn't as big a jump tho.

They should give it free to Bears fans. We have paid for it with tears for our lifetimes. It's only fair we get to watch the new hope break the QB curse.

Yes... Hey man! I haven't connected with you about the draft. WE GOT SUPER DUPER OFFENSE!!!!! It's finally happened and I still can't believe it's true! 3 elite WRs, an above average TE, a good group of backs and a solid or better line. The cherry on top is a generational QB. He may not have Sex Pa...

Merging some of the rando draft related threads. Thank you. It was getting sort of confusing. DJ Moore will be just 29 in 2026 so I believe that if he's healthy and productive Poles will look to extend him for another 3-4 years during the 2025 season. These two expiring deals is one reason why draf...

Do we officially have the tally of the haul of the #1 pick trade now? Greatest trade in Bears history easily. NFL history? It's been beyond transformational. This draft was built off that trade. Think about the talent on the team at the moment before the trade compared to now. It's just unbelievabl...

Hell yeah put the Bears on Hard Knocks! Let the world get a look at these new Bears and turn them into the NFL's darlings. I'd love for Williams to get the Brady treatment.

The way I see it is this; 1st; Williams 1st; Odunze 2nd; Sweat 3rd; Amengadjie 4th; Allen 4th; Taylor 5th; Bates 5th; Booker If the pundits are willing to take all of this into consideration it's an A+ draft and then some. Show me one other team that added this much talent using their allotted pick...

It's hard for me to accept drafting a punter, especially after drafting one a couple seasons ago.

But I'll trust you all that he's worth it.

Welcome to the Bears, Tory Taylor!

I guess it's ok they didn't draft offense here. Welcome to the Bears Austin Booker, he who I know nothing about.

I'd love a C or TE with this pick

I wanted oline or a TE, so I'm very happy with this pick. Being a Bears fan just makes me like him even more.

I would love for the Bears to get an edge rusher at 75, but I’m so happy right now I don’t even care. Sign a veteran or two and go all in on a better dline class next year. Go TE or online at 75. We need backup linemen to develop and a TE to replace Everett as soon as next year. Finish the job buil...

Welcome to the new era of Bears football my friends. For the couple of you upset (one of you, Heinz D. ?) you'll adjust, I promise. You've been force fed defense for your whole lives, you don't realize how delicious the cuisines made by Chef Caleb and company are going to taste. Welcome to a team se...

Omg they actually did it. So freaking happy right now!!! Welcome to Chicago Rome!

Definitely. Is Williams to the Bears the worst kept secret in draft history? Dudes doing workouts with Bears players already lol

NFLN is saying that Jayden Daniles' three-day visit with the Commanders did not been go well at all, to the point that Daniels has said he would like to play for a different team. Maybe there really is some fire under the rumor that they have alternatively been considering McCarthy... Allegedly, Da...

Asked whom the Bears should draft ninth, Williams first named Penn State tackle Olu Fashanu, his former high school teammate who would “put his life on the line protecting me ,” and then settled on one of the top three receivers. “Whoever’s there at 9,” Williams said. If alt and the wrs are gone, I...

Happy Caleb Williams day everyone!!! The moment we all lived a lifetime for is here. The Bears are selecting a nearly unanimous elite prospect at QB for the first time ever. Is this really happening? Sure. The Bears absolutely could screw this up. But that's a worry for our future selves. Today is a...

I agree that MHJr is the best bet of the bunch. WR3 in this draft, not so much. Until he is drafted by someone else, I'm living the dream. Stranger things have happened on draft day. I know you are on the Dline train. If the improbable happens and they walk out of this draft with Williams and MHJ, ...

That's an old and broken platitude you want to use to counter a term that means something different than you're trying to make it. It's not a literal term and not reality when seen this way. The odds of a failure due to lack of talent are far lower with top picks who are not QB. You are always gonn...

You know we need the draft to be here when we are comparing a kid with no behind the scenes issues, just oddness, to the trainwreck that was Ryan Leaf. Caleb is like the other guy from that draft. Did you watch his interview on the Pivot? If you didn't you should its really worth a watch. This kid h...

Poles trades up for MHJ

The dream lives!

I just don't see Newton happening with picking Dexter last year and we need a DE2. Agreed. I think DT should be one of the last positions that we need right now. We need a QB, DE, S, & WR. QB, I mean technically sure but the card with Caleb Williams name on it is already waiting at the podium t...

If you have an hour, I’d highly recommend watching this Caleb interview on the Pivot … with Fred Taylor, Channing Crowder and Ryan Clark. https://youtu.be/JsczrmkO-Yc?si=ACUvlVW2bIeR6eBX Really get a good sense of his leadership style, personality - how he reacted to the Fields trade, etc. He’s got...

I am really pumped for this season, probably higher on this team then the second year of Nagy, lol. Hope the results are better. I have a good feeling that Dexter and Pickens are going to shine this year, especially if we get a DE opposite of Sweat. Also love having Moore, Allen, Kmet for CW to tru...

I can't believe someone named their kid General Booty. That's like a bad porn name. Yikes

I hope Bloodsaw is a tight end or rush linebacker. Or maybe a strong safety. That would be fitting.

Storm Duck sounds like Darkwing Ducks long lost partner

With a week to go I started thinking about what a few members of this board would truly give up to move from the first overall pick... @UOK: A guarantee that there will never be any more squabbling on this forum and he'll never again have to lock a thread let alone suspend or ban anyone. You'd be s...

I feel the exact same way. Always thought Id like it on the helmet, but I dont.
