Chicago Bears address

[NDFAN2008]

I think Conerly at 10 was probably a reach. Especially if they can get Ersery at 39 or 41.

My hope is 39 and 41 are EDGE and or OT, then at 72 get the best RB available. Could be Johnson from Iowa, Skattebo or Sampson from Tennessee.

I just think after 41, there is a drop-off in OT and EDGE whereas there are some good backs that should be around at 72.

I'm curious to see how it shakes out and if they make any trades.

Ehh you gotta take Henderson or Judkins both are dynamic

 

[BoredIrish]

I'd like to see a DE and then a slot WR like Burden or Noel with the 2 picks in the 2nd. Both of those positions need starters.

There is depth at RB and DE. The O line seems to be set this year... can always grab a dev prospect in the later rounds.

I'm with you that trenches at 39 and 41 are probably the smarter move, but something tells me that the staff might not be as worried about Braxton Jones as the fans. What we as fans aren't talking about nearly as much is that it's extremely likely neither starting safety returns in 2026, so it might be worth taking a guy higher this year. Running back can last to 72, I'd prefer Johnson and Sampson from your list and I also like Damian Martinez and Devin Neal out of the U and Kansas, respectively. Shoot Devin Neal might even be there in the 4th

I like the RB class for rounds 3-5. I think there are some guys who were not heralded recruits or college players who can be solid pro contributors. Harvey from UCF, Neal, Giddens from KSU.

I still maintain they have to build around the QB they drafted first overall last year. Some of those pieces are now falling into place. Continue to add more and be a little finer around the margins.

I think we all know a guy....

He'd be a stretch at 39 or 41. I don't know that he makes it to 72.

 

[Bantry19]

Just gut feeling, but think they're going either Judkins or Kaleb Johnson, then Jordan Burch with the 2nd round picks.

 

[rtrn2glory]

The back that makes sense to me is Henderson. He's the better out of the backfield catching the ball IMO than Johnson and judgkins but he might not be there either

If he's there at 39 or 41 he's going to be tough to pass on.

 

[MKEagle]

I'd be surprised if they stick with both 39 and 41

 

[Bantry19]

Feel like he won't be. I can see Browns using one of their 2 picks on Henderson or Cowboys even moving up for him.

 

[pumpdog20]

I'd like Kaleb Johnson too.

 

[ColoradoIrish]

I like Luther burden a lot

 

[NDdomer2]

He seems in the dj Moore, st. Brown mold.

 

[Dale]

Burden makes a lot of sense under Ben Johnson

[Blazers46]

I’m good with it. NFL.com had him over the two previous OTs.

Would still like some DL or edge help

Would still like some DL or edge help

Which means they will pick someone like Kaleb Johnson.

 

[Blazers46]

Green would have been a nice pick, FnA Baltimore!!

 

[slick7410]

Green would have been a nice pick, FnA Baltimore!!

My Lions needed that edge too - but double sexual assault allegations, probably off board - why he was still there.

Not included, almost 20% of Warren’s catches this year were screens. Warren was a volume and screen merchant. Don’t knock Loveland because Franklin can’t recruit a WR!

This. Plus, as much as we rag on Allar, Penn State at least HAD an actual QB.

Michigan played through the 2024 season effectively without a QB.

Hard to put up good numbers when your QB is averaging about 130 yards passing per game, and threw more picks than TDs.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Burden makes a lot of sense under Ben Johnson

When I saw the pick, this was my immediate assumption. Then reading up on it yesterday, it really seems to be the case.

Very young offense they've put together but the pieces make sense on paper.

The Bears still suck

I always appreciate the brevity of your shitty posts.

Short and sweet. Sums up the last 40 yrs

Is that what your wife said?

 

[RDU Irish]

I mean, he's not wrong.

 

[pumpdog20]

Have fun having to answer a gazillion questions on this.
A whole article about how he didn't want to go to the bears, and one sentence about he changed his mind after meeting with them.

QB Williams sought to avoid Bears, book details
