The inference here is that we should trust them. Out of all franchises in the NFL, the Bears are one of the few the fanbase absolutely should not trust. They continually F up year after year without learning previous lessons. Without trying the obvious. Without sticking to simplicity. Without building the trenches. So, I hope he’s the next Travis Kelce, but right now it looks like a really bad selection for a team that already has a talented, underused TE and many other holes to fill.

LOL. Essentially that’s what just happened. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I know that’s the talking point, but there are two items that make it a bad point: 1. Go look at the Lions’s TE stats last year. Unless Kmet gets traded, it’s a waste. 2. Number THREE Wide Receiver. As in third guy. As in, not worthy of a #10 pick.

Yep. And it’s a dumb move. Kmet was a third option at best all year. How is he supposed to succeed? Especially when other plays had Williams running for his life?

Hate it. Should have been Mykel Williams or trade down.

Hate it

Same. Trade up thoughts disgusted me

Hate. Seething hate for this mock. A TE in the first would already be a horrible move for this franchise. We don’t know what Kmet has until there is an offense in place that is coherent and creative enough to exploit defensive gaps. Elite TEs like Kittle and Mr. Taylor Swift are wide open multiple times a game and it’s not because they run 4.3s. Additionally, until the OL protects Caleb - which has a more likely chance this year - there is no way of knowing if the TE was truly successful, because a QB in front of a jail break will resort to one of three options: first read, check down, run. And then to consider TE at 10?!?? Gimme a break. That would be atrocious.

Which I won't like unless everyone surprise hates Jeanty and he slips to the Bears in the second round (he won't). The Bears would be better served waiting until the third round and getting Skattebo.

Concur.

I think of that one pool-jumping dickhead. Or how Tice fell in love with Jamarcus Webb. Falling in love with players, particularly when it doesn't perfectly align with on-field production, is a fool's errand. Drafting for NFL players should be 95% on-field production, with the rest being heavy on combine.

Yeah, I'm all for recycling. I just can't stand how they immediately misplaced multiple players and thought it would work out. I don't care to look back into to Talkbears history, but I remember breaking this down at one point and the Bears had an entire OL comprised of guys playing at other than their primary position.

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?
