Re: 2024 Draft: Is This Our Greatest Draft Ever?

1983 was pretty darned good... Jimbo Covert Willie Gault Mike Richardson Dave Duerson Tom Thayer Richard Dent Mark Bortz And none of those players also involved paying an exorbitant salary which come along with Sweat and Allen. Gotta agree with you on this, especially when you add in the winning th...

UDFA

So I know some of yall have done some really deep dives into prospects. Any UDFA we should be putting on our list? I see we just got a QB who will probably be a camp arm/ practice squad type.

Any thoughts?

Re: Day 3

I dont want to see a TE as it is not as big of a need imo. We need to develop a young C, and we need an edge rusher. I dont understand how cap issues work etc, but since we had such a small draft class, we dont have to have as much money set aside to sign them. Maybe Poles is going to be a little mo...

Re: Day 2

It sure looks like Poles is holding out hope that Walker gets his act together in the second year of his contract. Why? You got me. So...I have no idea what Poles is gonna do? At this point (with Odunze already in tow)....I'd go best RB available. Seriously. Hopefully Bucky Irving is still there. W...

Here is my hope for today. I want some instant gratification! Even tho I know building a championship team is a marathon and not a sprint!

Here are my hopes for day 2. I would like to see us trade our Carolina 2nd round pick, and a 6th round pick to get into the 2nd round this year. Maybe trade with Washington. I would like to grab an IOL or an EDGE. If I had to pick players, I would say JPJ for a future C, or maybe Adisa Issac as an ...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?

Im hearing from one of my sources , ( some guy on the radio whos name I cant remember ), he thinks the Patriots trade back to try and fill a bunch of holes and either rely on Brisset this year or trade back with thoughts of JJ and stacking picks.

Either way....Thursday night is MUST SEE TV FOR ME!

Re: I think we Bears fans are traumatized

Seems to me we have always gone down the road of shoring up the D. I mean if Caleb is at best pretty good, and he has weapons like DJ, Keenan, Kmet and Sweat and we add Nabers to it?

Isnt there a possibility of getting your defensive stud cake and eating your wr cake too? Trade back about 5 spots or so. Still get a good D players and grab a good WR in 2nd round. Its a deep WR class. That being said next year is supposed to be good for edge rushers and if Nabers fell to 9....oooo...

Re: Justin Fields Megathread - A story of Lovers and Haters

Here’s my take as of 15/3/24 Fields is staying. Bears are in win now mode Bears will draft a QB It probably won’t be with #1 pick but it might be. I think they trade with Commanders and take their R2 pick. I think they’ll take MHJ with #2 I think they draft a QB either at 9 or trade back to mid tee...
