Re: Way too early 2024 mock draft

I liked this one way too much. I like McMillan as a developmental WR. Nubin could push for playing time. Fiske and Robinson solidify the DL with stout bodies but yet capable of generating a decent pass rush. Wilson was kind of a throw in but could definitely be a red zone weapon. Both guards would ...

Re: Bears Big Board at current slots

While going through the exercise I also selected the the highest rated from one of those slots that was available on all three sites. This should be considered a worse case scenario for the draft. 1) Caleb Williams, QB | USC, A+ 9) Jared Verse, EDGE | Florida State, A 75) Jalen McMillan, WR | Washin...

Bears Big Board at current slots

So the Jahns and Fishbain exercise in the #9 pick thread gave me a good idea to kill some time with some talk other than CW13. Based off Poles' comments yesterday it seems the team is targeting OL, DL, and WR in addition to QB. Assuming the Bears do not trade I am going to list the top 2 guys availa...

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

Poles got asked about the #9 pick specifically at the NFL owners meetings today (CHGO just released a good pod covering it).

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

Right now I would say the odds are 90% trade back and 10% staying put at 9. Poles does a pretty good job of filling all the holes with bodies in free agency, then builds comp[etition and depth in the draft. Right now the team has bodies at every position (except QB), but need competition brought in ...

This makes zero sense...why are you signing a tackle who is older, worse, and more expensive than Borom? Backups should be cheap and young, not a washed up goon.

Re: Mooney signs w/ Falcons; Bears get 4th rd comp pick in ‘25

Don't think that 4th round comp pick is correct, merely speculation considering free agency is far from over and they know nothing about his playing time or offseason honors.

Gabe Davis, Christian Wilkins, and Xavier McKinney are my free agent wishlist. Then draft Williams at #1 and sell #9 to the highest bidder, hopefully picking up a late first and 2nd. Target the second tier WR group and your center of choice with those two picks and what you get for Fields. Grab anot...

Today is Justin's birthday, the Bears just sent out a message for him. It seems every time they do this they get rid of the player, so I am predicting he gets traded today.

Re: JJ decision must be made by 4pm ET

The tag is going to be cheaper than what he would get per year of a long term deal. Seems like a win for the team and puts the onus on JJ to agree to a deal.

Re: Biggs: Not a question if Bears draft a QB, it's simply which one

I do not think this comes as a surprise aside from those with an emotional attachment to Fields. When you are gifted the #1 pick in the draft and there is a supposed generational talent at QB, you have to take it unless you have a proven QB on the roster. There are still too many questions about Fie...
