ASHKUM BEAR

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

I think or hope the talk will get better in the next 5 or so days. The Bears are wrapping up their scouting now and will be finishing their rankings next week, then they start doing their own mocks to set some odds on how they feel it will fall. I think this board has covered players or scenarios and are probably as clueless as you can be since we are down the board for once. We know the position needs, assume what players fit, but we know a knuckle ball will be thrown at some point.

This is a decent team filler draft but it's not looking like an all-pro type. I can see the Bears moving up to 10-15 if a player like S Caleb Downs goes that far or Edge David Bailey. I think it will be hard to move down because I see most teams looking for that opportunity. A top 10-12 team might want more picks if they are rebuilding.

I second that. If they add a NT, maybe go McDonald in the draft, but highly unlikely since they will run more wide/double 3T fronts than fronts w NT.

I seen Greg Gabriel post that the Bears draft younger players round 1 and 2, so off that pattern, Messidor may not be an option. I like the Penn State Edge Dani Dennis-Sutton because he seems to have the size and athleticism that can be developed into the complete package, like Garrett. He scored the highest RAS score for DEs and top 15 for all DEs ever recorded. If he is still on the board round 2, I would be good seeing him selected. I should see how he compares to Zion Young who i can see the Bears taking round 1 because of the edge defender profile, like Dani.

An all-pro shutdown CB could only take care of one WR, Myles Garrett can shut down the whole offense. 2 firsts and a 2026 second, my final offer.

Sometimes I feel the league is trying to pry the McCaskeys from ownership. They want another big boy at the table, maybe with ties to WEF...rabbit hole. Seems like the Bears have taken a beating on most instances over the last 40 years from draft coverage to timely questionable penalties, and now legislature putting them in a bind. It could be that they never do things proper too haha.

Its official, Bear will receive no compensation for Cunningham.
