OT: Bears & NFL Talk 98
- Thread starter No Fun Shogun

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Gentlemen it’s been a pleasure lurking and shitposting with you all, 7 months of filibuster in this thread here about to be at peace in an hour or so
My final thoughts before the draft begins:
I'd be happy with two scenarios:
Odunze
OR
Trade back to the mid teens to net yourself either a 2nd this year or a 2nd next year (depending on how far down the fall is) and draft a linemen
Let's make the GDT the Bears topic for a few days.
Thinking Campbell will be gone so I would go with Kelvin Banks Jr., but really they have the option now of going BPA, regardless of who they think that is or even trade back.
Ideally - drop down 5 or 10 spots and grab Omarion Hampton. Though I'm skeptical that there will be any takers. With the way the talent looks, after the top 7 or 8, there's probably more teams that will want to move down than move up.
BTW - really nice off-season for Ryan Poles. He goes from many of us wanting him axed, to hiring Ben Johnson and then seemingly killing it in free agency and some trades leading up to free agency.
Great offseason for Poles means there's relatively few must fill holes. The opportunities for upgrade I see (other than LT or DE) are RB, DT, and O Line depth. This draft is excellent at DT and good at RB. I'd say getting quality contributors both those those positions, and a LT/LG or DE would be a home run at 10, 39, and 41. At 72, happy with safety, OL, DL, S, or TE. With a trade down I could see something like OL (20), DT (39), RB (41), DE (52), TE (75)
If any of Carter, Graham, Hunter, or Membou somehow fall, them. Failing that, trade down for a 2nd or 3rd+. Failing that, I'd love to see us pick the right guy at a premium position (LT, DE). If that guy isn't there, Jeanty, Warren, DT, or a LT/LG development type guy who will ultimately replace either Jones or (more likely) Thuney works. However, I much prefer trading down.
