Great play by D hopefully Nagy gets his head out of his A and calls plays that will help Fields or a better option would be to give Lazor the play card

Wonder how much the receivers and tight ends are helping Fields out. Will be interesting to watch the coaches film in the week

This oline isn’t good. Going to be a long day. Nagy will need to move Fields around because both tackles have been atrocious today.

Nagy needs to call passes on 1st and get Fields out of the pocket. Sitting back there we haven’t got a chance.

Agree I’m unsure that Fields is ready. Massive difference between Dalton and Fields today but could have been closer if receivers caught catchable balls

Passes close enough to receivers come on give Fields a chance

The injury report this week is brutal. Can’t understand why the key players are suffering injuries this early. The game will not be close if the questionable players don’t play. Miffed that Goldman is unlikely to play.

I can’t see the benefit of cutting Miller for the saving on the cap this would bring i.e. to small. Cutting Trevethan would be hard to stomach because there would be no cap saving and all dead money.

Leno has been criticised on this and other forums for years. Now we will know how poor is play was. To be honest I’m happy with the change to try Jenkins there but I would be ecstatic if we signed Fisher.

I agree with this. I watched Nagy and Pace’s press conference this morning and was pissed off by a reporter questioning why the defense had hardly been addressed. My thought was look at where the cap is spent, how the defense has been built through the draft and if we are going to go deep in the playoffs it’s the offence that needs to become more competitive.

Draft nearly done. Fingers crossed we pick up some quality free agents draftees. Have to say I’m happy with what we have done over the 3 days. Shame we will have another year without a first next year but if Fields is great that is fine. I think we are better than last year and we made the playoffs. Would love Rogers continuing to be pissed off and retires. Don’t think it will happen but we can dream.

Wouldn’t mind a DT and Marvin Wilson is available. In my draft guide it indicates he’s a decent player. Don’t know if he will last to our pick if the report I’m reading is accurate.

In the draft guide I bought it states Newsome is one of the best route runners in the draft and is skilled and crafty which gains him separation but hasn’t got a 2nd gear.

Leading up to the draft the consensus was we need a QB and tackles. Does this mean all of the board are behind what Pace and Nagy have done so far. Whether they have done enough before today I still want them to succeed because if they do so does my beloved Bears.

I think Fields and Jenkins both have a chip on their shoulders. Jenkins because he believes he should be a first round pick and will make the other 31 teams regret their decision as he stated in his interview. From Fields’ demeanour when he was picked and the look in his eyes I would imagine he is pissed off that 2 QB’s other than Lawrence were picked in front of him and it wouldn’t surprise me if he thought he should have been the no.1 player drafted. It would be nice if Jenkins and Fields build a close friendship and use these slights by the teams that passed over them as a to drive to greatness.

Are there any OT’s left worthy of drafting that improve the team instead of playing: Leno at LT and Jenkins right Or Jenkins at left and who ever is currently on the roster that will win the RT spot? Could Leno play RT? Will Eric Fisher be ready by training camp, could the Bears afford him and if yes is the answer to both would this sort out our oline now and into the future.

Awesome draft so far as long as Fields and Jenkins pan out. Fingers crossed because the draft is a crapshoot and I am unsure what the success rate is with a transition from college to the NFL. It’s probably below 50%. Would like Jenkins to play LT so that we can move on from Leno and save cap space but a greater hole could be at RT. Shame we gave up our 4th for Foles and we haven’t managed to trade him. I had hoped Miller being on the block could have got us a decent pick like a 4th but the WR position in this draft is strong. Fingers crossed Dalton has good success and he gets a good contract in free agency and the Bears get a decent compensatory pick like a 3rd but I don’t know the process for determining the picks. Nice if we could get another OT, a CB and S today and if so would round of the draft perfectly.

Tashaun Gipson is the free agent I was hoping to resign. I thought he played well last year considering Eddie Jackson lacklustre play. Another year of familiarity with the Bears and playing for a good contract I hope he plays great and gets rewarded by the Bears. I now feel that safety isn’t a need and Pace can draft best player available or trade up to get a QB prospect. I hope it’s the former and my ideal scenario is trade back in the first to a desperate team and pick up another 2nd. I wouldn’t be against giving up next years first for a high 2nd and another pick or 2. I would love to come away with 2 OT’s, a developmental QB, a CB and TE with these picks made before the end of the third round.

1 OT 2 CB 3 QB 4 WR 5 OT I would prefer QB at 4 but this would be dependent on the run on them and don’t think any will be available when we use our 4th pick.

I just this mock on PFF.com and traded with the Saints to get their 2nd and did some more trading down and here are my picks: 28 Teven Jenkins OT 60 Dyami Brown WR 61 Ifeatu Melifonwu CB 83 Kellen Mond QB 88 Ar’Darius Washington S 161 Tommy Tremble TE 164 Shakur Brown CB 208 Rhamondre Stevenson 221 Jonathan Cooper ED I also gained a 2022 2nd round pick from the Texans

This year the Bears would be stupid to trade up to get in a position to draft 1 of the top 5 QB’s unless someone drops which is unlikely and we would have to get in front of the Patriots. I would prefer to draft a 2nd tier QB and hope we are to get a quality starter or a solid backup. I would prefer to trade back as long as we can pick up a quality rookie at LT, CB and WR. In my dream scenario we trade back in the first and pick up another 2nd.

The Bears have given away too much draft capital over the last few years. I would like to see a different approach. I wouldn’t mind drafting out of the 1st round and picking up extra picks for this and next year. If we were able to get a couple of 2nd round picks next year this would give capital for that draft. The only position I’m interested in this year is OT. If we could get 2 and 1 pans out that great. Even if we picked a OT in the 2nd and 3rd round I would be amazed they wouldn’t be an upgrade on Leno and Ifredi.

I have been doing the PFF mock simulator. I have traded down in the first round to teams that have later 1st round picks and early 2nds. This has enabled me to get 2 decent OT’s. That is my wish this year and move on from Leno. For this to happen QB’s go quickly including Mac Jones. Please !!!!!!! Pace forget the QB this year and draft 2 OT’s and then the BPA and hopefully a CB or safety.

The draft is a crapshoot at best. Remember Trubisky was the no 1 rated QB and the only issue the analysts had with Pace was moving up 1 spot to pick him because everyone felt the 49ers didn’t want a QB and no one was going to move past the Bears. Although Jimmy G has some injury flags if we don’t get into a war with the Patriots or other teams I wouldn’t mind giving the 49ers our 1st next year to sign him. With a trade the 49ers would have 2.8 million in dead money and free up 23.6 million. This is from over the cap. Maybe the 49ers would accept Robinson instead of a draft pick and this would help with signing Jimmy G. This would then allow the signing of a quality OT to replace Leno. I don’t want to give lots of draft capital to move up to somewhere between the 10th and 15th pick.
