I think you might be right! What a great time to be a Bears fan. I think I have to buy Dazn

DUDE! Yes! It is a dream scenario! yes, we must see it play out...but given all we've had to deal with over the decades...this feels GOOD!

yeah he doesnt feel like that at all. I think the negative narratives on high ranking players were really in play this year by teams hoping to create situations where players slide to them. For example, Williams seems to be nothing like the sullen, selfish player he was painted to be the last couple of months.

Oh hell no, lol!

This is a potentially starting caliber player so I think they look to fill the bigger needs first which is IOL or DE. S or TE could be in the 4th or not at all.

I think any or all of the first 3 WRs can be all pro types.

,We can still get 2 contributors at 75 and 122. Lots of names on the board yet. He's going to take BPA at several positions. If they stick to offensive players, we could get a swing T and Center prospect or OG. 75 Kiran Amedgadjie/OT and 122 Tanor Bortillini/ OC 75 Van Pran/OC and 122 Zac Zinter/OG

Look at all the ego trippers in the WR group of the league and we got 3 down to earth leader types at the same time in our WR room. People complained about not drafting George Pickens and look at the whining birch he has been. That's why we didn't draft him.

Odunze has legit long speed. The route running. But compared to those two he’s really ahead in terms of being a redzone target. I think he’s better at catching jump balls than MHJ.

Saw that. Poles must have had him rated as a top 5 pick. He’s also very high on his character. I don’t get the sense he’s going to be a primadonna WR.

I feel like this draft is going to be the most impactful draft since Payton and or the Butkus Sayers draft. The difference is the Bears' teams back then sucked. The Bears are adding to a 7-win team that lost 3 games they should not have, and now added two top 10 players. Comparing Odunze to guys like JSN and Olave, I actually prefer Odunze over those guys. He is going to learn so much from Moore and Allen. Bookmark this thread and come back next January when the Bears are playing in the playoffs.

The fact that the Bears got Odunze without having to trade up was amazing. That saved a future pick being lost. If we didn't have #1 overall, I would have been super happy with Odunze at #9 alone. Williams+Odunze without having to give up andy draft capital or McCarthy+Turner while giving up a bunch of picks (only 3 picks left in 2025)

Did I miss anyone at 75? I am thinking they go OL, DL, Edge, S, or possibly TE at 75.

#26 - C, Graham Barton to TB #27 - DL, Darius Robinson to ARZ #28 - WR, Xavier Worthy to KC #29 - OT, Tyler Guyton to DAL #30 - CB, Nate Wiggins to BAL #31 - WR, Ricky Pearsal to SF #32 - WR, Xavier Legette to CAR Best Available Day 2: - Top 32 - CB - Cooper DeJean DT - JerZhan Newton WR - AD Mitchell CB - Kool-Aid McKinstry LB - Edgerrin Cooper WR - Ladd McConkey CB - Ennis Rakestraw C - Jackson Powers-Johnson C/G - Zach Frazier DT - Braden Fiske ---------------------- LB - Payton Wilson WR - Keon Coleman LB - Junior Colson WR - Malachi Corley Edge - Marshawn Kneeland CB - Max Melton DT - Kris Jenkins CB - Mike Sainristill CB - Andu Phillips S - Tyler Nubin ---------------------- Edge - Chris Braswell OT - Blake Fisher OT - Christian Jones RB - Marshawn Lloyd RB - Jonathon Brooks WR - Roman Wilson WR - JaLynn Polk S - Javon Bullard S - Cole Bishop DT - Ruke Orhorhoro DT - Maason Smith Edge - Jalyx Hunt * - Bold - may still be available at 75. --------------------- Most likely player pool (positions of need) for Bears at 75: DT - Brandon Dorlus IOL - Dominick Puni OT - Roger Rosengarten C - Sedrick Van Pran IOL - Christian Haynes IOL - Cooper Beebe IOL - Brandon Coleman TE - Tanner McLachlan TE - JaTavion Sander TE - Ben Sinnott TE - Theo Johnson TE - Jared Wiley Edge - Mohamed Kamara Edge - Adisa Isaac Edge - Bralen Trice DT - Michael Hall DT - DeWayne Carter S - Jaden Hicks S- Tykee Smith S - Calen Bullock The Bears can easily get another solid player at 75.

I'm hoping for Bralen Trice at 75

This was all planned out, obviously you can't predict the picks but they wanted this. Just seen a video of Rome and he stated, him, DJ, Keenan and CW have already been working out together. That wasn't by accident. His big hero was Devin Hester growing up and his first NFL jersey was 54 Urlacher. This is a perfect fit.

VERY interesting - if you listen to the first three minutes of this, Poles says twice that he had his eye on Odunze, and that it took discipline not to TRADE UP for him. He literally mentions trading up for him TWICE. That's very good news that they had him rated that highly, and that the board fell in such a way that they didnt need to trade up for him - it seems like that was a real possibility. Thank you football gods

Hell yeah!!!

There is a shot they could get one of the better center prospects at 75.

They can get a comp pick if Allen leaves.

I was good with a trade back but can’t complain. I think my first prediction months ago was Caleb and Rome. I’m fired up.

Here is GB draft reports updated big board. A lot of good names still there. We are 43 picks away. https://gbnreport.com/2024-updated-big-board/

So far, so good . . .

I get it, but I've been begging for it for two years and he's failed me. At this point, it's the only true black mark I give Poles. The middle must be solidified. Also, I cannot attest to being sober this evening, so my opinion may change by morning...
