I'm admitted a sucker for these things, and every team has the same type of thing where everyone says all the right things about how they can't believe they landed the guys they got, but I'll be damned if this doesn't get me fired up.

Hey, Bo Nix parlayed a throw chart like this into being a first round pick.

Good comments here from Poles and scouts on the draft picks. Poles has also been on some podcasts this week, including Pat McAfee and Waddle & Silvy. https://www.chicagobears.com/audio/ryan-poles-bears-scouting-staff-praise-2024-draft-picks-bears-etc-podcast

I do think that we need to prepare for the possibility that two things may be true next year: 1) Caleb Williams has the best statistical season for a Bears QB ever. 2) Caleb Williams has the third best statistical season for a QB in the division. Keep in mind the years Jared Goff and Jordan Love had last year would both, unquestionably, be the best Bears QB season ever. We can certainly hope for some regression, but can’t expect it to happen.

Interesting to note that, with all the Vikings moves, their 2025 draft picks are: - Their own 1st - Their own 5th - The Browns 5th and that’s it. We thought we didn’t have much draft capital this year, but we had two top ten picks and another day 2 pick. If McCarthy isn’t the guy and/or the Vikings struggle, they are going to be in some trouble in the 2025 offseason.

Also the Steelers invested heavily on offense in the draft early with two O-line picks that figure to start and a WR who will probably contribute, so if they help as expected it might help Russell Wilson look good for a while.

I don’t think so because of his years of service. Players with ten or more season max out at a 5th round compensatory pick.

Austin Reed has been training with Caleb in the offseason. https://www.windycitygridiron.com/2024/4/27/24143222/caleb-williams-fired-up-new-chicago-bears-udfa-austin-reed-will-hewlett-qb-collective-nfl-draft

I’m back in! Great job Poles!

Supposed to not be great at hang time is the main thing that concerns me.

Boo. You shouldn’t be drafting an punter in the fourth round and certainly shouldn’t be spending draft picks on punters two years apart. Considering the Texans traded up right after our pick you have to think some kind of deal with them was available for the Bears too. If this is it, it’s an underwhelming end for me.

Bears don’t have their 7th next year but have their own 6th, plus Miami’s 6th and the conditional 6th from Pittsburgh even if we don’t trade down from 122 I wouldn’t be surprised if one of those picks isn’t used to go get a guy in the late 6th/7th.

My shot in the dark guess is Brennan Jackson, DE from Washington State. Good RAS. A little on the older side but good production and team captain. Very similar to Bralen Trice who they looked at in the third.
