Re: The 2024 Draft
I'd hate to see Jenkins go. He's the one high end player the Bears have on the O-line. Maybe Wright will join him at that level but he wasn't close as a rookie. We're all excited right now, and understandably so, about all the talent at the offensive skill positions but the O-line is still a signif...

Re: Borom may be in jeopardy

A bit bummed we didn't get Leonard Taylor III. Does he really have a better chance of making the Giants' roster than ours?

Re: R3 P75: Kiran Amegadjie, OT - Yale
Gotta love seeing the offensive line finally addressed in the draft: 6 ol in three years of Poles' drafts, two in the first three round.

Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
Outstanding pick, it seems that all my Sundays/Mondays/Thursdays bitching about not pinning teams inside the 10 yardline/5 yardline may be coming to an end! For real, this guy played a huge role in saving Iowa's offense. His ability to flip fields and pin offenses inside the 10 yard line will be a ...

Re: Bears / Hard Knocks

Re: My Guy for the 2024 Draft
Both can block really, really well, and I agree that Reiman might be a better blocker. He's certainly stronger. But I completely disagree with respect to the receiving and route running. Despite his athleticism, Reiman seems klunky to me. Not near as smooth as Johnson. And it shows in the wide disp...

Re: Day 3
I see him trading down here. And with his concentration on offense, could he pick Theo Johnson next? I it would fit his plan for this draft--fix the offense.

Re: R3 P75: Kiran Amegadjie, OT - Yale
Bye Bye Borum. I hate to say this as he's my favorite Bear, but I also think this spells the end for Tevin Jenkins after this year, whether he stays healthy or not. I don't believe that Poles wants to pay him the money next year, not when the kid doesn't fit his offensive lineman profile. He's alwa...

Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
Not sure that I'd compare Williams and McGregor. To me, he's more like (Chicago's own, kind of) Emanuel Augustus: smart, crafty, and self-disciplined in a way that can be difficult to appreciate when he seems to go completely off-script. No such thing as too much Augustus or too much Micky Ward, or...

Re: 2024 Draft - How Many Picks?
And have the Packers defenses generally been better than ours? In general I'd say no. We have typically drafted much better for defense than they have while they kicked our asses with their offenses. But let's look at another factor. Over the past 22 years where as GB typically been drafting? More ...

Re: My Guy for the 2024 Draft
I'll stick with Marshawn Kneeland and raise y'all Tip Reiman. From what I've seen, Johnson's got Adam Shaheen athleticism: impressive numbers for someone that size, but his play doesn't really bear them out. He's a good blocker, which is absolutely what we should be looking for in a TE. But Reiman'...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
I think Poles likes tough guys who don't count a man blocked until he is pancaked Maybe he can mention that to Darnell Wright and Braxton Jones this offseason and tell them to watch Jenkins to see how that's done. So many times on tape Wright seemed to stop after his initial block rather than go lo...

Leaf had problems that went beyond just his ego. He had significant behavioral issues that the Chargers just flat out ignored.

Re: 2024 Draft - How Many Picks?
I still gotta chuckle about how fans want to keep drafting for defense because that's a Bears tradition. So pass on a more elite player at #9 so we can draft two or three more less elite players with a later 1st round pick and a couple day two picks. Quantity over top quality. We already know how t...
