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.

Initially, I felt that forcing the Bears and their new rookie QB even further into the limelight of Hard Knocks would be bad for the team. I feared that such a move could backfire into a total distraction and set Caleb and his relationship with coaches and veterans off on the wrong foot and set him ...

Boom!

Not what I had in mind when I thought of planking.... But appreciate you're excited about the punter.

Well.... Another starter.

McCormick (my guy) and Bortolini gone.

Still have pass rushers on the board though...

So the Falcons have taken Ohrohro, Trice and now Dalrus. They may have skipped D with pick #8 but they're sure going to work now. Bummer to lose out on Dorlus.

DAMN, Taylor-Demerson gone.He was my first choice. On to Dorlus and /or Booker now.

I suspect you're in the lead atm. Well done

My top remaining for day 3. 1. SAF, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. Not sure why he's still undrafted. Could start immediately if Byard doesn't work out. 2. EDGE, Austin Booker. High upside pass rusher. 3. DT/DE, Brandon Dolrus. Good fit and flexibility player in Flus's DL. 4. C/G, Mason McCormick. Highly ...

Bye Bye Borum.

Previous Bears GMs would have figured out how to screw this up. Poles did it right. He has done everything possible to finally make our QB successful.

I still love Bagent. I'm so glad he's a Bear. BTW, it'll be interesting to see the Bagent and Caleb relationship develop--something tells me they'll hit it off well. They're both very much GenZ and just a year apart in age but they come from such different backgrounds. Bagent from back country West ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsczrmkO-Yc Something tells me that the replies, mindset, philosophy and approach to football (and life) which were revealed in this long interview would not materially differ from what the Bears coaches and front office would have gleaned from their own interviews. ...

Jared Verse now confirmed for a visit. So basically, the Bears have had all 4 of the top DEs (Turner, Verse, Latu, Robinson,) all 3 of the top WRs (MHJ, Nabers, Odunze,) 3 top Centers (JPJ, Barton, Frazier) and a few others in for the 30 visits. Again, not a single DT prospect. Seems odd. Smokescreen?

Joel Klatt's explanation on why he thinks Caleb is elite.

Good stuff and definitely worth getting pumped about as a Bears fan.

For all the Odunze fans out there... You'll like this one. A couple nuggets: - He was inspired to play football as a boy by watchin Devin Hester Highlight videos. - He models his game after three pro receivers, one of whom is Keenan Allen Very intelligent young man. He and Caleb are definitely repre...

The whole point of the commentator's comment was that good players find ways to put chips on their shoulder by creating a sense of being disrespected. They invent or imagine adversity to motivate themselves...that's literally what the speaker is saying Caleb hasn't done and that is literally what Ca...

So we had him play 3rd base..

Groan...

Added JC Latham to the list. Man, I wonder why no Byron Murphy II....I'm really feeling like a trade back to around #12 and then a selection of the best 3T in the class would be the best call here. I wonder if they're genuinely not interested or if possibly they are trying to conceal their interest ...

List up to 19 x 30 visits with 3 notable prospects likely treated as "local visits." List now includes: - WR Malik Nabers, LSU (Rapoport) - DE Laiatu Latu, UCLA (Fishbain) - WR Marvin Harrison Jr, Ohio State (Fishbain) - WR Xavier Worthy, Texas (Fishbain) - S Kam Kichens, Miami (Leming) - ...

That might not be enough to get them out of the bottom 10, though.

Nice one

I voted top 10 because, you know, it's the offseason. Everything's rainbows and unicorns.

Grizzled wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 9:46 am Read that Nabers made a 30 visit, don't know when. Jha’Quan Jackson, Tulane WR is scheduled for one as is Elijah Jones, BC CB and Nathaniel Pritchett, Auburn CB are scheduled for visits.

Need a source (link) on the Nabers visit please. This is the first I've heard that so I think it unlikely.

This notion that CW is making only ONE Thirty visit-- he doesn't even want to go visit other teams...I frickin love that. He's a one city guy.

LFG Caleb. LFG Chicago.

New additions to the list:

- Graham Barton, OL
- Ben Sinott, TE
- Chop Robinson, Edge
- Tyler Guyton, OL (based on the report that he joined in the Caleb Williams dinner)

Brock Bowers 30 visit is noteworthy... As we know, the Bears just re-signed TE 1 to a 4 year extension at roughly $12M per year and we also added our TE2 in Gerald Everett with a 2 year, $12M deal with $6M guaranteed-- meaning we can end it with no cap hit after 1 year. It is not a reach to say that...

I'm pretty checked out until the draft, so apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but this comment from Flus recently was pretty interesting: “I like the numbers in terms of the talented players that can get to nine,” Poles said, via the team’s website. “We’re going to do some cool things whe...

Not sure if there is another place where we are tracking the 30 visits this year but directionally, it's not a bad way of predicting picks or even FA signings. According to one source, last year: Darnell Wright, Tyrique Stevenson, Tyler Scott and Gervon Dexter all made 30 visits to Poles and company...

I'm pretty convinced that 4 qbs go in the top 8. Minn or someone else will trade up for that. I'm also pretty convinced that 2 WRs will go in the top 8. This means one of Alt, Turner and a WR will remain when the Bears pick at 9. It's even possible that 2 of those 3 are still on the board if another...
