OT: Bears & NFL Talk 99 (also 2024 NFL Draft GDT)

[clydesdale line]

I 100% trust Poles when it comes to OT.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Don’t know how I feeel about this pick. The DL needs addressing.

 

[Romang67]

Read up on that guy during the draft process. He hasn't been a full time tackle for very long, but apparently has super high upside.

That D-line is looking rough right now though.

 

[ndgt10]

Great pick.. Would have been a late 1st/2nd round pick without the injury.

 

[bwanajamba]

Feels like that pick could have been made after a trade down, assuming there was one available

 

[Backyard Hockey]

I think Tony Scheffler had a couple of pops before he went on stage

 

[plasmonresonance]

Bears used a top 30 visit on Kiran so they clearly saw something they liked about him and his potential. Mildly suprised they didn't go with the edge Isaac.

 

[Jdavidev]

Damn, Ellis went the very next pick. He's a starting NFL player

 

[hawksrule]

I’m hoping he was at the senior bowl or something similar. Ivy League football isn’t exactly SEC football.

Arizona’s added two Illini tonight.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Kind of a boring night. Happy to see a local kid my kids played youth football with go (Nubin from St Charles North)

Meet Kiran Amegadjie, who believes he's 'the most interesting prospect' in the NFL Draft

Amegadjie didn't pick up football full-time until high school, and his time at Yale was full of roadblocks. Can he make the NFL leap?

Here's a profile Brugler did on Amegadjie a little while back. Seems like a smart and thoughtful kid. Grew up in Hinsdale.

Still don't love leaving the d-line unaddressed when there were some strong options on the board, but at least there is some upside with this pick

Who were the strong options? Jonah Ellis?

Maybe "strong" is too big of a word but Ellis, Adisa Isaac, and Austin Booker all would have been reasonable picks in the 75 range

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

At this point, I think all signs point towards the 2025 draft being defensive line focused. Unless they take a center tomorrow, I’d imagine they’ll also be looking at the interior OL as well, given at least one of Jenkins and Davis will not be here next year.

He was right. And none of them are around anymore

 

[hawksrule]

What‘s he referring to re: linebacker was the leading rusher with 11 yards?

Bears vs Titans - Google Suche

Barkevious Mingo has one attempt for eleven rushing yards no idea how or why.

Was on fake punt



He ran it for 1st down

[clydesdale line]

If the Bears can somehow land Austin Booker today, I would deem this an incredible draft for them. Unlikely, but it would be nice to address that pass rusher.

Shocked Franklin fell to 4th round
