Gotta like that Carolina 2nd rounder. LOL

Found this on the net. Correct me if anything is wrong. BEARS 2025 DRAFT PICKS First-round pick Second-round pick Second-round pick (via Panthers) Third-round pick 4th gone for 2024 5th rounder Fifth-round pick Sixth-round pick Sixth-round pick (via Dolphins) Sixth-round pick (via Steelers, can turn into fourth-round pick)

Not disappointed but shocked

WTF?

I wanted LT and Poles got me one. His being able to play guard is something too. Seems like a great kid.

Based on how they’re describing him, no he can’t play center.

Can he play center? LOL

Might he be available tomorrow?

Ha! Even the video of the Packers war room showed half hearted clapping.

Just glad he’s excited to be a Bear. Unlike that little bitch Cedric Benson.

I don’t know that 10 wins is his ceiling but the way I made peace with the whole thing is his value is based on his dynamic play making in the run game and that makes him WAY more susceptible to injury. His ability to check down quickly enough for an NFL QB has also got to be questioned after this many years. Coaching? Maybe. Lastly, our new OC had to have chimed in on this and we’ve got to give him the benefit of the doubt for now. All this said, I still feel Fields wasn’t given a fair shake, one that he would have gotten elsewhere in the league if we didn’t draft him.

Excellent post and you captured my feelings very well too. Better than I could have said it.

It would depend on who was available at 9 so I can’t say.

With only a few days until the draft are you getting excited or do you have anxiety? All the conjecture and BS stops on draft night. Are the anti-Williams folks resigned to the choice or still hoping for a last minute surprise? Is your focus more on the second pick at this point? I’m hoping for an Offensive Tackle myself More importantly, how are you feeling about the season? Things should be much improved but we’ll have a rookie QB. There are obvious exceptions but usually that’s a tough first year. Lastly, are there any FA’s left that you’d add depending on what happens in the draft?

Cool. I didn’t know that. But simulations are far different than what happens when humans get involved.

Now moving up for Alt might be a different story. I might do that but only next year’s second, not first. We’re only moving up 4 spots.

I would have traded back and picked MHJ but not the other way around. And gotten all the extra picks, etc. Fields is gone and that ship has sailed. Take a blue chipper at 9 and be done with it.

I love the OL help, conceptually. Don’t want to drop back if one of the top guys are available at 9 though.

Maybe a new branch on this thread but I still want to grab a blue chip OT with 9.

Lots of rumors out there connecting him to the Bears. Anyone reading anything that suggests it’s more than just internet speculation?

Pix, thanks. I absolutely hated this when I first heard about it but have come around. It’s putting the return game back in play but with hopefully fewer injuries and penalties. Kickoffs have been boring as hell for too long.

Preseason sucks and the HOF game is the worst one. But if the Bears are playing, I’m watching. LOL

DBDB - I’ll admit it was all hearsay and things some said here. I hope I’m 100% wrong (and so was all the stuff I heard) since it really looks like he’s a Bear in April.

He appears to be a better passer than Fields. No pressure, etc. So who knows. But we’re past that now and all we can do is move on and hope for the best!
