I read that Olin Kreuntz & Big Cat Williams both have sons participating. C Josh Kreutz and DE Jai Williams.

He was definitely over 340. Big Ted was pushing 400.

I couldn't load it, but if you have Instagram, look up the Bears tax. It's a crazy stat...

I have heard several times where BJ wants players that love football, high motors and are violent. The UDFA TE, Hayden Large, got a personal call from him before the draft telling him we were interested in getting him. After picking Roush, he thought he may not sign here, but after calling him, he said this is the only place he wanted to be. BJ was pretty excited about that. Probably just a PS member but TEs get injured a lot.

I doubt KT ever weighted 340 while with the Bears, I heard said that both him and Washington were in the 370 range.

This again is going to be a tough division but having BJ and Celeb gives us the edge. Look at what the other teams added in the draft, all were more defensive draft picks over offense. I see the Viking having more of a bum than Lions and Packers.

LSU motioned him a lot, I see Ben moving him as much or more. I'm excited to see year 2 of the BJ era.

Yeah, Vikes are looking tough. They won 9 with crap at QB last year. As you said, Jennings is a keeper. Now we have to hope QB Murray sucks because if he turns the page, the Vikes will be tough competition for the NFCN title.

Jauan Jennings is (unfortunately) a nice pick up for the Vikings. I was thinking he might be an option for WR3 in Chicago if they skipped WR in the draft.

I see him getting more reps than expected as a 4.28 running the ball.

This is bad news for the Bears. He helped us a lot last year.

Bummer I really enjoyed the way he kicked in Soldier Field. Pro Football RumorsPackers To Release K Brandon McManusBrandon McManus' time with the Packers is coming to an end. More at Pro Football Rumors.

I watched that last night. I can only say he runs the ball with better vision and more toughness than I expected. Ben Johnson has his RB for 3rd and long situations.

Rookie jersey numbers are in, including 54 for Logan Jones (“Bold move, Cotton . . .”). That will take some getting used to. Also, Elliott, Thomas, Muhammad, and Van den Berg signed their rookie contracts.

Contract years are quite an incentive, giving a guy a chance to earn a few million extra on his next deal. My money is on Braxton as our starter but then may want too much to resign 2027. I also suspect, if for no other reason, Dexter is going to have a 10+ sack season as a IDL. ;-)

This brought back a flash of one of my favorite Bear memories of the past. Remembering Keith Traylor (DL 340? Pounds) returning an interception down the sideline. He ran it back quite a distance, well over 50 yards (can't recall exact length or if he scored) I remember creating an image with Acrobat of him with a turtle running beside him to protect him from being tackled

We signed a new kickoff return player. He's not real fast but hard to bring down.

That have a birds eye view as to what they have. Like someone said Braxton is around 315 and working his butt off to enter a payday year and brought in Wills. They have to think very highly that that will work out. Not addressing that spot in the draft in any round makes a statement by itself.

Ourlads has a section where they give NFL depth charts and update them regularly. They have Corey Bullock listed as the strarting C. A two year UDFA. Never heard of him before.

I agree with you on missing on picks but I look at things differently since BJ got here, a two year sample size and this year is just starting. If I remember correctly wasnt that a AL Harris influenced pick? It seemed like he was panning for him. The draft is influenced by the coaches that have input combined with the scouting dept. Easy to criticized Poles but he wont be remembered for missing on Pickens and Velus Jones. Hiring BJ and drafting Caleb will be on his headstone. Clearly BJ has an influence on the draft and then we have to assume Flus did also. This is all history now, BJ and Poles will be tied to together as we look back on these years in the history of the Bears. They say if you get a couple of stars and a few contributors, that is a successful draft. Last year is all we have to judge and its looking like a win win. Frazier or a miss on Hyppollite will not matter. Of course if you judge a draft on just one year you will be wrong 75% of the time. Players like Hakim Hicks bounced around the league for 3 years before he found a home here. As a third round pick of NO , he failed for 3 years. Examples last year were Duhson Wright, a PS squad player for the Vikings and DeMarco Jackson . Wright was in yr 5 in the league and Jackson in yr 4. I think waiting to see what a few years in the league is more prudent that calling everyone a first year bust. There was a chart I saw that give the % of hits according to what round a player was drafted. I'll try to find the chart but I remember the third round is a 25% hit rate. That doesnt refer to making a roster but is related to becoming a good starter.

I am not saying anyone sucks, just at this point the Bears have gotten zero return on investment for Pick 109 from the 2025 draft. BUF used that pick on Deone Walker, who is a starting DT for the Bills and would be a first round pick in a redraft. The Bears were weak at DT and Poles decided to trade out of that spot and then pick Hyppolite and Frazier with the new picks. That is a terrible exchange. The Bears scouting staff seems biased one way or another. It seems to not work more than it works. So you get Monangai in the 7th but miss on Velus, Pickens, Scott, etc in earlier rounds. I know every team misses on picks but in 5 years Poles has wasted more than an entire draft's worth of picks. That miss rate is too high. He needs to hit on this 2026 draft and all future drafts otherwise there will be a steep dropoff in talent when Caleb's new money hits.

When Linderbaum got paid, it was easy to see the value of a good center.
