Also once again every one should thank lovie smith

The commemorative films of the Bears January 2027 Super Bowl championship will all start with 4th quarter highlights of that Texans game.

Super excited for this season to start now.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Wow I’m actually impressed. Don’t screw up these picks

 

[Pez68]

What are offensive line options in free agency?

 

[Fortyfives]

 

[plasmonresonance]

Carolina drafts a QB and trades their best WR. And the Bears have the Panthers first round pick next year. That's the cherry on top.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Gonna need to find some offensive snaps for equnamineous st brown now

 

[Cubs2024wildcard]

Watch Carter drop to 9.

Rare Bears GM W

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Is it wrong that I’m already hoping that the Bears take Witherspoon?

Nope it’s not

At 9?

I’m taking Porter way before I’m taking Witherspoon and I’m really hoping Carter slides to 9 before both.

BWC is disappointed in this trade.

 

[nsvoyageurs]

Moore
Mooney
Claypool top 3 not bad at all.

Kmet as tight end number 1. Solid.

Fix that o-line.

Fields takes that next step as a passer.

Looking solid.

Steelers fan here (I come in peace). Sorry about Claypool!

The Bears made a hell of a deal for the 1st overall pick. Put some pieces around Fields (whom I'm a fan of) and ket him grow.

No problem a few of us weren’t fans of the claypool trade. Some were. Hopefully it works out but oh well it’s done.
We all like this deal a lot.

 

[Sarava]

Hard to not like this deal. Good job Poles

 

[ndgt10]

Poles redeemed himself after gettinv fleeced for bum Claypool.

With Claypool, the talent is there, but still has some growing up to do. The offence with the Steelers last year didn't help him (rookie QB; OL issues in 2021 and 1st half of 2022; rookie WR moved ahead of him on their depth chart, incompetent Offensive Coordinator, etc.). Maybe his rookie 2020 year went to his head. He has the tools, but no tool box.

I think it's good for the NFL to have the Bears, a traditional/original franchise, be good again. Lord knows you've had issues at QB over the years (I won't run off the names; you know them all).

Don’t have enough time to type all the names.
Tearing down is the easy part. Now poles has to get going on the hard part. We will see.
Agreed claypool has talent so we will see with a full offseason how it helps him.

 

[southsideIrish]

Nice haul.

 

[hawksrule]

I was hoping they’d get him in the 2nd, but there’s way too much hype for that now. Still too high at 9.

Wouldn’t it make sense for the Bears to prioritize OT. Have weapons for fields but should build up the OL. I think at worst the top OT comes off when Ten drafts at 11. This draft is considered deep at DE, CB and IOL.

I doubt Carter slides that badly so long as the chargers remain misdemeanours. Sea, Det, LV are all looking for DL help.

 

[Pez68]

The reality is, the Bears have holes all over the lineup. So there are only a few instances you wouldn't take BPA.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Free agency starts next week. We will see what the bears prioritize

My opinion is Poles is staying in the top ten just on the notion Carter does drop. I hope he does, but I don’t think he will.

That said, if he doesn’t, they should trade down.
