You're right, but 99.9999999% people believe the Bears should NOT draft the SECOND BEST RB in the draft with their first round pick.

He was a good RB, but has never been a brain when it comes to analysis. And the further away from the field it gets (i.e. player analysis), the worse he becomes.

I absolutely loathe the idea of moving OLinemen because someone else sucks or is subpar. We should have learned that lesson as a franchise so many times. Chris Williams, Kyle Long, Cody Whitehair...how many times must this be done before the lesson is learned?

I know what you’re saying, but odds don’t work like that. It’s like betting roulette red because it’s roughly 50/50 and the last roll was black. The D has been decent to good, and the O has been horrible. Keep drafting O until that side of the ball scares opponents. Just once in my adult life I’d like to see a Bears offense that is consistently in the top tier of the league.

I didn’t choose the name; I chose the position. And, yes, I chose OT. Picking RB is crazy to me. Classic Bears move. RB is overvalued. Less important. Get the right OL and it doesn’t matter.

Is it my birthday and Christmas at the same time? Did I rub a genie lamp and not know it? I swear I’m nearly in tears. It’s FINALLY HAPPENING! THE BEARS ARE FOCUSING IN OLINE! I am so pumped about this season.

I’m not. If that is deemed, then I guaran-damn-tee it shouldn’t have been. Picking a RB in the first would be a classically stupid Bears move with so many other holes. I’ve even had friends call and laugh about this, like when we drafted Benson.

Yes please.

100% agree, which is ONE REASON why PFF stats suck.

That’s always been my issue with the “there are 75% black players so there should be more black coaches”-argument. Where the hell does everyone think the white players go when they aren’t good enough to play any more but still desperately want to be connected to football? It’s not about some hidden racism like it may have been in the 60s or before. These are multimillion dollar organizations, and guys like Mike Tomlin can get a job whenever he wants. Otherwise, it’s a pure numbers game, and there are probably always going to be more white coaches based purely on population and statistics.

Check this out and you tell me. Princely looks like he’s on a half second delay after every single snap. But he’s strong and builds up speed, dislodging OTs upon contact. I’m not a huge fan because dudes with that skill set have a better chance of getting swallowed whole in the NFL, where OTs resemble dancing, 300-lb monsters with butterball turkeys for fists.

Isn’t the USC Center that played some with Caleb Williams available in this draft? Why not burn a 4th-5th to get him and make Caleb happy?

I like the thought process of this draft, but not selections. Fannin - Bowling Green smells like Ashland to me. Princely - Slow first step. He’s going to be a bust. Zabel - Still smells like Ashland. too much competition level risk that early for my tastes.

Take a LT from a major college program, draft him early, and then convert him into a center? Respectfully, that’s an atrocious idea.

I saw a draft where the Bears traded their first to CLE. That would take their 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, and future 2nd. At first I wasn’t sure I liked it, but looking at some players available, the idea isn’t bad. 2.01-Jonah Savaiinaea, OG, AZ - Monster. Takes Pryor’s job day one. 2.07-Jack Sawyer, DE, OSU - Temu Watt brother takes Walker’s job day one. 2.09-Wyatt Milum, OT, WV - ZERO sacks or pressures in 2024. Takes Borom’s job before the draft is over. 3.03-Tate Ratledge, OG, UGA: Has everything we thought Teven Jenkins would be. 3.08-Andrew Mukuba, FS, TX: Google “Mukuba Stockton hit.” He starts by mid season at worst. 3.30-Cam Skattebo, RB, AZST: Gritty. Has heart. Hard to argue with production. That’d be quite a haul and likely fill most major holes immediately. Would you make that trade? If so, what would you do in those draft slots?
