ASHKUM BEAR

I loved hearing stories about Hester and how he spent so much time in training camp just catching punts. They threw every type of kick at him because every punter in the league had different techniques. I hope Flus had V12 doing that in TC. I would like to see him step up to WR3 next year. Be our Deebo Samuel with sweeps and screens.

Velus breaks 100 yards receiving for the year and adds a 42 yd touchdown run on a sweep. He had a slow start but as the team and himself gained confidence in each other he showed what he is capable of doing. I believe he takes that next step in 2023.

The Bears only beat Hou with a last second FG.

I would say the Bears can trade down to pick 8 or 10 and gain much more than they lose. Trade 1 -pick 2 for pick 4, 18, & 2024 1st. Trade 2-pick 4 for pick 8, 39, & 2024 1st Big picks - Tyree Wilson DE, Paris Johnson LT, Calijah Kancey 3T, Garvin Dexter 5T, John Micheal Schmitz C. I regret missing a good WR around 65-70 range. But 2024, we are not missing out on Harrison The rest are depth/competition Van Pran is G/C depth.

Pollard is my first choice if they move on from Monty. I still would not be shocked if they take a RB 2nd or 3rd round as long as they accumulate picks by trading down. They got to watch two of my favorite prospects up close. Jahmyr Gibbs Ala and Sean Tucker Syracuse. Gibbs is one of my favorite because he can do it all (run, catch, and block.) I know it is not popular, but a great receiving back like Gibbs will be a huge piece for this offense to help Fields.

Imagine being part of the NFL from near creation (1920) to now. Virginia is the queen of football. Happy Birthday and I hope the Bears being you a championship soon.

Ryan Pace? I know, i know.... Interesting that 2 of his 3 top offensive guys didn't play much. Next season they become league leaders? Also, what he looks for...height/arm length makes me question Peter Skoronski being a target, his arms will come up on the shorter end.

Any idea on Skoronski's arm length? I have a feeling if his arms are not long enough, he gets passed if top 10.

I like it. He knows this offense, great blocker, and I think he can improve once Fields develops as a passer.

We are all Fields fans and hope he rises to a top 5 - 10 QB. Get him great protection and another target and hope he makes that transition.

It seems we have been through rebuilds too often. Just haven't been through one that paid off or worked. The biggest step is getting QB1 right. Fields sounds like the right one behind the mic, but he hasn't shown enough. This is why I want the Bears to gain a future 1st in a trade down. If Fields don't make the turn next year, they need to draft another.

I think Tyree Wilson is going to be a stud DE. Anderson more of a OLB. Fit wise, Flus and Poles emphasize size/length as a trait amd Wilson fits.

This is a great scenario. I'd be happy moving down to 10 and landing Bresee and/or Wilson.

I agree. Make sure you get a future 1st in at least one trade down. This team needs so much that Fields will be wasted by the time they are competitve.

Fields needs to develop. They need to force Fields to throw 6 to 8 times to Claypool.

Would TCU WR Quenton Johnson be worthy if the Bears move down to 5 or 6? He reminds me of Watson with size and speed. Little bigger and little slower. I want a drafted WR to grow rather than a vet like Adam's. My opinion, bit after thus game QJ is in the rise.

I hope Poles stays away from Adam's. Fields needs more than a top WR. He needs to see the field and react faster. Get him a top line and develop him to read and react faster

Ryan Poles: Hey Omar, whats it going to take for Claypool. Omar Khan: GB offered their 2nd. The way it looks, their pick will be better than the Baltimore pick, so it will take you own 2nd. Ian, what do you think? Let GB have Claypool for 2 cheap years? Or trade our potential top 2nd rounder and get a WR on the cheap end. It sucks we lost a possible pick 32 or 33, but we also kept a good cheap WR out of our rivals hands.

Maybe for Wilson it is coaching. I mean look at Geno Smith, he looks like a QB for once. If Denver is not building around Wilson's strengths, then that is on the coach. Have to see what they do this offseason.

I am okay with adding Procic, but this draft does look strong at C. If the Bears can find a Creed Humphrey in the draft, the better. I hope they do not lose out on any targets. I hope Fields is a player that draws FAs.

Charbonnet fits the GB mold of Dillion. Depends on what they do with Montgomery, the Bears could shop early for RB. I think Center is higher for needs at this time.

I hope this is the last time in my life I want the Bears to tank. That first overall pick would be sweet.

It feels like the Bears have wasted/lost so many early picks by trading up or for a player. For once we can be in position to gain extra picks if the cards are played right. I want #2 and it is also for sale. If we trade down to 5 and another team wants to move up, that pick is for sale also. We are not 1 player away and I am all for building a bank.

This was fun. Traded down twice gaining 2 good future 1sts and still somehow managed to land DE Will Anderson. This draft was mostly about retooling the defensive front 7. Sign Procic C, Jenkins OG and a RT to solidify the oline. I guess we will be happy with our weapons at WR/RB/TE this year. WR Hyatt, one of my favorites, is a 4.3 threat. This team will compete next year but will be young. 7. Will Anderson Jr. EDGE Alabama 15. Bryan Bresee. DT Clemson 40. Anton Harrison. OT Oklahoma 56. Jalin Hyatt. WR Tennessee 65. Gervon Dexter. DT Florida 71. DeMarvion Overshown. LB Texas 131. Mohamoud Diabate. LB Utah 133. Joe Tippmann. OC Wisconsin 156. Cody Mauch. OT North Dakota St 197. Tiawan Mullen. CB Indiana 2024 SEA 1st 2024 ATL 1st

I do not see Monty coming back unless he comes cheap. I am not afraid to spend a 2nd on a RB if they are game changer. Finding a playmaker at RB might be easier this year then WR. I like Herbert to take the lead but Gibbs can take the reins and be more of a threat. I want a WR and RB that put fear in a D like Fields can.
