ASHKUM BEAR

I don't see the Bears taking 2 DTs, but can get behind either. Woods had a decline performance in 2025, but was a Jatrett clone before. Banks is a specimen, rare size and athletic ability if his foot is good. Depends on how the Bears see them under their supervision. Since they signed 3 DTs, they will probably draft one late and get an edge early as you want

It stinks, but it also exposes how thin or behind the Bears are at roster depth and development. Lets hope we have long term stability with Poles and Johnson and can build that.

What are your odds round 1 for the 3 options below and no 33.3% Trade up Stay put Trade down

That's what I say, get a guy that will be a multiplier. Someone who scores, takes aways scores, or shuts down other teams best.

I think with McNeil-Warren, its his hard hitting that draws attention. I dont think that is the type of S Allen wants, so that would be a shock if taken. Dillion Thienemen would be the most ideal S after Caleb Downs, but odds are he goes to Minny.

He was our first pick that year. I felt Angelo was doing great until the Bears found success and some how they got lazy and cute drafting. They never had luck drafting offensive line though. I hope that page is turning

Gilbert was a 3rd round pick. They drafted some studs fell apart when I felt Lovie got power. The Bears were a perennial playoff team, we just scratched that surface. I feel pretty good with the direction the Bears are heading but we will see if BJ fills in for the loss of Cuningham

Boredom.... What player or position will shock you for the Bears to draft. I was shocked about Loveland. Seen a few posts on here about him, but was shocked to see him taken so high. That proved me wrong.

Lucky guy, until he has to face his wife.

If there is a guy they believe will be a blue chip player regardless who is already signed, you do it. There are 3 or 4 LBs that could be there Hill, Rodriguez, Trotter that would become team captains when you are transforming the whole defense, its as good as a time to bring that voice in. They filled DT in FA, so they may not draft one. CB, WR, RB, and C all have players too but yes depth and upgrades should be considered. The Bears can go anywhere position wise and that is what keeps us confused trying to predict outcomes.

Drafting Trotter, Edwards or whoever is expenable. He will be your Singletary or Urlacher of 2026 and beyond.

I hope they draft one (center) to start a pipeline. It was disgusting seeing all the guys they traded for or signed since Kreutz. We finally get Dahlman and he decides to retire.

A mock draft from the Bears Talk simulator. I was graded C+, but I'd say a drafting a starting DE, S, and LB with a rotational DT, a gadget RB, and developmental C and DE is at least a B. Dont sleep on Patrick Payton, 6'5 260 4.65 speed, he has the tools to be a good pass disruptor. He needs strength to set the edge and hold up in the run, so a good year or two can make him an asset. They developed Dominique Robinson from WR to DE, so maybe take another swing.

The Bears did a lot of home work on Garrett Bradbury for center. Ben's offense is very complex and they wanted someone who can handle everything so there is no drop off from Dahlman. I don't think we will notice a difference and see better snaps.

I read the Bears are bringing in LT Caleb Lomu and DT Dominque Orange for visits. Here is a list, heard Rolder wont count bc hes kocal. Indiana DE Mikail Kamara Kentucky RB Seth McGowan Kentucky C Jager Burton Ole Miss WR De’Zhaun Stribling Michigan LB Jimmy Rolder Syracuse TE Dan Villari Ohio State DT Kayden McDonald Duke C Brian Parker II Missouri DE Zion Young Washington DT Anterio Thompson ASU OT Max Iheanachor Miami C James Brockermeyer Miami DB Keionte Scott Rutgers QB Athan Kaliakma
