Looks like DL will have to come from the waiver wire/UDFA.

And there's only one ball in the air at the time, too. Odunze, on balance, is a better prospect than Turner and Verse--I'll give you that. Doesn't mean he's the best pick.
The better prospect is always the better pick, all things being equal.

It’s not like the Bears couldn’t use a WR.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Bears trade back into the 5th with a 2025 4th rounder.

So, if Daniels had slipped to #9, and was the highest ranked player on the Bears board, they should have drafted him?

Moore and Allen were already the best one-two WR punch in the league.

You keep using Daniels as an example, but it’s a really bad one.

I can’t recall the last time an NFL team lined up with three QBs on the field….

Agreed, they do need a TE.

The Bears do in fact have very good 2025 draft capital.

First-round pick
Second-round pick
Second-round pick (via Panthers)
Third-round pick
Fourth-round pick
Fifth-round pick
Sixth-round pick
Sixth-round pick (via Dolphins)
Sixth-round pick (via Steelers, can turn into fourth-round pick)

Poles may be thinking that he can do another Sweat type deal to fill the obvious hole at Edge.

Maybe? I'd be concerned about the salary, though. That would probably mean that a disturbingly big chunk of the cap would be going into one position.

Kind of forgettable. Most 7ths don't make it. At least it wasn't as costly as Claypool.

It’s been a good draft.

We also got a R2 pick next year to include in the list :thumbsup:

I kind of think we'll go harder at stopping the run and hope to get turnovers against teams we make one dimensional. Giving up rushing yards screwed us in the last game last season so finding someone to keep that elite isn't a terrible stopgap

MIssed by "that much". LOL

Booker was the better prospect based on his measurables and also where he was ranked. Kinda shocked he fell all the way to round five. Kamara was always a long shot anyway if only because his measurable don't fit what Flus looks for.

Did Jerry or Brendan Rice say something or do something that made Brenden persona non grata?
