I wouldn't be mad with Nolan at 9
That pinky finger is WILD 😳😳😳🤙🏻18:35
Wearing Tennessee orange . Time for Darnell Wright. And trade back into the first grab bijan/van ness.
Jamyr Gibbs…
We have 10 picks. I'd say a successful draft would be at least 6 immediate long term starters or more!!!!!
When are you guys gonna stop with this Bijan Robinson first round hype crap! I like Bijan but he doesn't have break away speed. He has David Montgomery speed. We had this guy on our team already. He makes the first guy miss. He breaks tackles, he catches out of the backfield. Great stiff arms, nice spin moves but he always gets ran down the open field.. Can we please draft a running back who is faster than our quarterback?????
I think Wright is the right answer to the Bear's draft pick question. All the analysts I have heard is consistently high on him. Dominated against SEC talent. Sign me up. Im ok taking him at 9. Home Run pick if we trade back and get him.
Excellent show and insight to the draft prospects. Looking forward anxiously to the draft!
The audio is horrible! It's like you guys are broadcasting from a 1940s transistor radio. 😂
Enough w the Skoronski business. He’s good and he’s a local guy, but his arms r too short and he’s a Packers fan… Need I say more?! Bear TF Down!
1/2 the tackles drafted in the first round the past 10 years were busts and only a tiny number were pro-bowlers.
First time weatherspoon hits a 230+ NFL WR like that hes on IR.
Give me
Wright OT in the 15ish range and add a 3rd
Foskey EDGE or Tippman CENTER
KS ST or Miami DB/CB
Ark CENTER or DT
RB… ILL or Pitt
Bowling Green DT/EDGE<— small school but he killed it!!!!
to me, successful draft this year is 3 starters and 2 rotational players that play 50% of snaps or will take over in second year. starters, OT, EDGE, DB. rotation…. center, EDGE or DT. JMO
Seattle is taking Carter
Several shows daily on this draft and none have touched on strengths/weaknesses of the next 2024 draft class!?
Yess get Carter
Don't you think that Detroit might pass on Carter after they just cut players , got players on suspension, and personnel fired for gambling? These are character issues right? So taking a chance on someone with character issues would be a really high gamble
The bears need to use some of their draft capital and move up into the 2nd round
Couldn’t agree more about wright. He’s elite and exactly what the bears need assuming they believe in BJones at left. I would love to see the Bears get one of the top 4 centers too. We would have an amazing Oline
Devin Witherspoon CB to the 🐻's l'm all in 'LFG'🐻⬇️ AmenRa'
If l'm Ryan Poles and Ian Cunningham l take Bijan Robinson and Nolan Smith They are top notch 🔥 power to our 🐻's 🏈 team 🐻⬇️ AmenRa'
Baldys a legend. I hope we can trade back a bit and still get Wright in the late first. Then trade up to get Edge Rushers. 🐻⬇️
Just looking at the invites, if they stay at 9, they are looking at Carter, JSN, Wilson, and Witherspoon. If they trade down Johnson, Wright and Jones. I think if Carter is gone, JSN may end up in Detroit, and Wilson is gone and they can’t trade down, it’s Witherspoon. Top 2 for them are probably Wilson and Carter.
Great show today, guys! I heard Dan’s voice on DJ’s conference call (listened to podcast) – he’s doing his homework on this Princeton WR for sure.
The season begins and ends with Fields-I think he is going to make a big jump this year. I would get OT Or OG first. We have to give him more protection and then draft a center later in the draft and then this line will look like an NFL line
11:38wait what did you just say! Bald what
The Bears finally need a real talent at CENTER. People keep bitching about the protection around Field's but never mention finally addressing the CENTER position with a true talent. On almost every single passing down Field's was flushed from the pocket due to crummy CENTER play. QBs HHHHATE A GAP pressure more than anything. Field's is never going to develop into a consistent pocket read QB if he never has a pocket to step up in. The biggest problem on the OLINE, he'll on the team wasn't the TACKLES, it was Mustipher at CENTER. Field's actually looks pretty good when he has a clean pocket to step up in. I'd take SKORONSKI and put him at CENTER and have the best CENTER in the league for the next decade. Field's will love the GM for doing so.
Mahomes had a year to learn from a good team and coach. Justin did not
Take Johnson Jr or Carter at #9 or trade down period.
