Next mock, I guess I like Watsons size and speed. Realistically they take Pierce. Big surprise was OG Kenyon Green available but Tyler Smith has snuck into rd 1 and knocked him down. If Petit-Frere LT makes it to RD3, he will be a steal. Cobe Bryant CB and Weatherford is a hybrid S/LB that could be SS or Nickle. Then Justin Ross WR round 6. Early in his career he was projected as a possible rd 1 talent.
I actually kind of love this draft. I'm not a big fan of picking dudes out of places like North Dakota State - the lesson has been learned too many times on this team - but otherwise the draft is solid. Double-up on OL, double-up on WRs with tons of potential, and double-up on secondary. Near perfect in my opinion.

I thought they would have brought in a couple more FAs since camp starts today.
Agree. It's baffling to me. They can't be content with the team as is.

I really hope they can snag Brown or Fisher here in the next few weeks. I kinda like the OT from Ohio State and he should be there, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable knowing we won't have to rely on a rookie left tackle.....unless most of the world is wrong on Jenkins to the left side.
I feel like the bears would lose leverage in talks for Brown/Fisher if we HAVE to have them post draft.
Agree. Too early and you overpay. Wait until after camp starts and you have a learning curve. Wait until after the draft - assuming a LT isn't drafted - and you lose leverage. This timeframe right now feels like a real sweet spot since camps are starting and the first few waves of FA have passed over.

30% of the NFLs rostered players last year were UDFA. So most of the depth players we don't even know yet.
The players I would like to see him still sign are ; Steven Nelson/CB....Justin Coleman as the slot Corner.....Ronnie Harrison/SS.........PJ Williams/S.....TreQuan Smith/ WR.......Auden Tate/WR.......Jesse James/TE......Anthony Frisker/TE......Kysir White/LB......DuaneBrown/LT.......
I'd love to see that breakdown per team. I'm guessing the worse teams have higher numbers, and the great teams have lower numbers, thus creating a misleading average.

That’s hilarious
You won’t think that when you see Burrow’s progression this year. He’s going to explode when he gets a ton more time.

Alex Cappa
Ted Karras
La’el Collins
Burrow did well last year. Wait until the league sees what he does this year. This is EXACTLY what the Bears should do for Fields.

Two words - Pernell McPhee. Pace signed him with a known issue and it bit us in the ass. I have no issues with Poles backing away from the signing. Use the money on a LT or a WR.
Peace
Agree. Pace would have just said, “I trust my gut that it’ll work out.” Poles is not that guy, and I like it. The era of buying a cracked bucket and hoping it holds water is over.

Ogunjobi failed his physical!!

I was a little surprised Jason chose Faalele too, at least that early. Maybe Jason sees more in him than what's in the scouting reports. It doesn't appears he's ready to start but a year or two down the road he should be. Or do you park him at RT now and move Jenkins inside to RG and go heavy? I lean toward drafting players in Rd 2 that can contribute this year.
In my idea, Faalele goes to RT and Jenkins goes to LT. I don't know why I thought I heard/read somewhere that the Bears were ready to move Jenkins to LT. If that's not accurate, and it doesn't appear to be, then I'd just swap Faalele with Rasheed Walker, OT, Penn State. Same draft otherwise.
Side note: I think the Bears should really target Metchie, Ross, and Pickens...and try hard to get two of the three. I believe all three are first round talent, but lack intangibles.

Yes, please.
Trade 39 for 47 / 121 (IND).
Trade 48 for 53 / 125 (LV).
Bears end up with 2nd (47), 2nd (53), 3rd (71), 4th (121), 4th (125), 5th (147), 5th (149), 6th (184).
- 2nd (47) - Daniel Faalele, OT, Minnesota
- 2nd (53) - John Metchie III, WR, Alabama
- 3rd (71) - Justyn Ross, WR, Clemson
- 4th (121) - Coby Bryant, CB, Cincinnati
- 4th (125) - Haskell Garrett, DT, Ohio State
- 5th (147) - Logan Bruss, G, Wisconsin [Whitehair to Center, resign Daniels]
- 5th (149) - Isaiah Pola-Moa, S, USC [Polamalu's nephew]
- 6th (184) - Christopher Allen, OLB, Alabama
OFFENSE: Fields is set up with Jenkins-Bruss-Whitehair-Daniels-Faalele, and two high-upside receivers.
DEFENSE: Bryant starts day 1 opposite Jaylon Johnson, and it wouldn't shock me if Garrett snuck into a starting spot. I honestly think Pola-Moa is a sleeper in this draft, and could also start.

I know we posted some in other threads, but I thought it could use its own with how many we are going to do between now at April.
Here is one I did with PFF's Mock Draft Simulator, just one trade down for a 3rd and a 5th. Still picked up Johnson (which is unlikely), but hey.
Johnson is a no-brainer if there. Went for great value at #71 and got a great athlete to pair with Smith at LB. Moore becomes the defacto starting Slot WR. Domann is a hybrid LB-DB that can lineup almost anywhere on the defense. With so many sub packages, he would be perfect for big Nickel. Watson is the big WR we have needed, could play opposite of Mooney on the outside. Flott is 6'2" so he has good size and length for the new scheme. Elliss is a 367 lbs DT who could spell Tonga at NT.

Hate it. Western Michigan, ND State, and Idaho? That looks like a Pace Draft where he thinks he can outsmart everyone else.

I’m so sick of this dumbass McCaskey family. They can’t do anything right.
Now it seems they are looking for, and requesting to interview, various head coaches even though they do NOT HAVE A GM YET! That’s Cary before the horse, and exactly how you create a situation where none of the top GMs want to apply.
Then again, maybe that is their intent?
-
If the Bears do pick up a WR, I'd rather they spend a bit less and pick up an injury risk like Ju Ju Smith-Schuster.
But if they are going to go big, then I say they offer a max contract to Devante Adams. Why not?

This is very true. Draft sec players or guys from small schools with good measurables (like Mooney who had the speed and quickness which were elite.
I think I'm far less forgiving about this idea. If I'm drafting, I'd draft absolutely nobody from D2 to start. Nobody. As far as FCS schools, that would be a 1% kind of thing. So, again, virtually nobody. Then the non-SEC FBS conferences would be where the other 9% exist.
Out of 100 players: there would be 90 SEC players, 9 Big 10/Big 12/PAC 12/ACC
- 90 - SEC
- 9 - BIG10/BIG12/PAC12/ACC
- 1 - FCS

Jenkins hurt his shoulder and didn’t practice. I don’t know why Borom didn’t play but Jenkins not playing was due to health.
But did Jenkins play? I could have sworn I saw a tweet that said he got into the game in mop-up time.
If that's the case, then I don't give a shit about this week's practice time. He's either available or he isn't. If he's available, then he should have started.

The CFP was disappointing and now again two SEC teams meet for the Chip! The 1/1/22 Bowl games were much more entertaining.
The fact that so many people hate the way the CFP turned out, because it has turned out so similarly so often, only reinforces my belief that any team would be smart to simply draft SEC players 90% of the time.

Nick Foles must really be in the doghouse. You would think it would be better to just stick with the same QB or go back to Fields. How does Nagy think a rusty Dalton is better than a fresh Foles? That is crazy.
I am wondering if they are just protecting Fields from any further injuries?
It will be curious to see what the O-Line looks like, are Borom or Jenkins going to play, or is Nagy going back to Peters and Ifedi?
Disgraceful that the young guys didn’t start.
-
I didn’t like him predraft nearly as much as almost all others. I absolutely HATED the trade to get him. What I will say, however, is that I’ve warmed to him and I think he has shown glimpses despite dragging the Nagy, OL, and WR anchors.
So I’m optimistic, but wary.

At the end of the day how does it affect the team going forward? Is there really any harm in him coaching until the end of the season? As we’ve seen the last few weeks the team is still playing inspired football despite knowing Nagys got one foot out the door. Besides that, most of the better candidates are still (or will be) coaching into the playoffs. With this new rule I noticed a team with a prospective HC candidate on its staff has to give consent to interview. I could see some wanting to exercise that to avoid distracting the team as they prepare for the post-season.
The main negative to letting him coach is that reps matter. He’s trying to prove something, and he would be making different personnel decisions if he were safe next year. Well, he’s not very bright, so maybe he wouldn’t, but the philosophy is sound. Borom not starting for instance.
Play calling as well. Running Mooney on hitch after hitch is sub-moronic. How about unleashing something we haven’t seen yet, and testing the players’ limits? Enough gadget BS. Enough freaking RPO like this is the damn Big 12. And for the love of everything the football gods hold dear, enough of the wildcat.
Get rid of him ASAP and let the players see what a real coach and a real offense looks like.

As much as it doesnt matter, I always feel better when the Bears win. Had some positives in the game.
But it kind of does matter, doesn't it? We all want the Bears to win every game, but we're also smart enough to know this win hurts the team in terms of draft position...which is something this teams seems to do far too often in meaningless games. Then someone is bound to say the late season wins build confidence, harmony, cohesion, etc., except it never actually appears to be true the following season for the Bears.

And how is that helping a young QB.
Because he can hit a mid-round WR just fine if given plenty of time unscathed in the pocket. Look at Hunter Renfrow just today. Or Amon Ra St. Brown for instance. Also, a young QB should be focusing on tree letters: DFU, not 1st rd WR
-
I’m just so sick of seeing skill players fail in Chicago because of the blocking,. Adequate weapons are there. Monty could be extremely dangerous If he ever got consistent holes, and the same is true for Fields’s development. Or maybe y’all like seeing him back pedal under pressure and then allow the sack.
Build the OL; everything else will work.

Nagy literally fired himself. He could've handed all offensive duties to his coordinators and assistants and then would have scapegoats for a season like this. The team is still fighting which is not normally the case when you are out of contention, which is normally a positive for a HC.
There were so many legit excuses Nagy could've had. New playcaller, rookie QB, new DC, COVID, injuries to star players, rotating OLine, thin secondary, tough schedule, officials, visor too tight on head.
Based on his recent comments, I think there was a meeting before the Thanksgiving game that this would be his last year as HC regardless of the season outcome. They were 3-7 having lost 5 straight. They ultimately had to win out to make the playoffs, which was not happening. He has acted and looked like a lame duck coach since that point.
He is having such a bad season that he may never get another HC job again. It happens to a ton of coaches, he will probably need to go to college football after this run.Agree. Nagy is going to make a decent coach at a mid-major. He needs to follow the Mel Tucker route. We all know Mel Tucker was a complete flop, and way over his head in the NFL, but they think he's a genius at Michigan State.

O'Sullivan nails it here:
That's good stuff. I especially like the play where Fields fumbles. I didn't even realize in the game that one of the blockers ran off for a pointless, ill-timed pitch that was never going to happen that late in the play. It just shows that Nagy designs plays that don't fully complement the intention of the play. Too much cuteness. Too many unnecessary shifts. I swear the Bears would be better off with a playbook that has 20 or so plays that all look a little bit like one another. Keep it simple, stupid.

Everyone knows what Minnesota likes to do, they show A gap pressure, then either send or drop players. You can design plays off of that, and you can tell by some of the plays, Nagy didn't. Sometimes the plays ran right into the defensive formation's strengths. Who does that? Monty had several runs for loss right into the teeth of the defense. Nagy's offense is so inflexible, it is maddening.
Who does that? Sadly, just about every Bears' OC for the past 20 years. LowGains did it. That idiot Mike Tice did it. Gase did some seriously dumb shit in his short tenure. Pretty sure Martz was the guy who ran Garrett Wolfe up the middle of a defense showing that same double A-gap pressure. Shoop sure as hell did it.

Mock Drafts

Three dudes from Baylor, a Running Back (even if it is Bama), and three small schools (NDSU, Montana St., and Tulsa) players in the first three picks? No thanks.
