He's a speed guy that will get a chance to compete for a spot, probably end up on the PS, as far as a long term asset, very doubtful. At a time when the draft has settled in, just something to talk about.

I dont mean to brag, but that's right. How fast is 23.4 MPH ? Usain Bolt's 100m world record (9.58 seconds, 2009) remains unbroken. Average speed: ~23.35 mph (37.58 km/h or 10.44 m/s).

I've looked at a lot of GB content on grading the draft. They have Bears Derangement Syndrome. The idiot had the Logan Jones pick as a D, saying that they had many other Cs rated higher. The Jager Burton pick (153) the Packers had was rated higher. He said he will eventual be a low end starter in the NFL. Also gave a F to the Zavion Thomas that he had rated as an UDFA. He liked the Dillion, Muhammad, and Elliott picks. Loved the Lions draft, rated GB as just average and poh pohed the Vikings draft.

Look at it from this point of view. Rome at 6'3', Kmet-Loveland-Roush all 6'-6". They all will be a mismatch for whoever is covering them. Its also a set that they can maximize running the ball. Also use Zavion Thomas as the RB with his speed that makes the DC worry about. I think he will get more carries than DJ Moore did last year. DJ had 15 last year. He also threw the ball a few times at LSU.

Im still here, as much as we have a difference of opinions a lot , we have been agreeing more lately.

Trevor Sikkema was talking about the Bears draft and made a good point about taking Roush at 69. 4 TEs came off the board in the bottom half of the second round and if the Bears wanted Roush that's where they had to take him instead of waiting until 89 where he thought he should go. 3 more TEs came off the board before the 89th pick. They guessed right , they would have never got him.

There is some questions but barring injury we are going to have a talented WR room. Lots of fans and pundits were cheering DJ Moore leaving so Burden and Rome can get a larger role are the same ones saying we need more at WR. Kalif Raymond will have a bigger role than expected. He wanted to sign with BJ over being the third WR in Detroit. BJ will find plays for Zavion Thomas. I can see him getting some snaps at RB considering his speed and the other speed we have on the team. Squirrel White was a second place Alabama 100 meter sprinter when coming out of High School. As a prospect he was listed at 4.37 speed. In 2024 while at the U of Tenn, he was clocked at 23.4 MPH of which they used their GPS system on all their players. If you watch tape he looks more like a 4.3 player than a 4.63 that he did at his pro day. He had a 40.6 inch vertical. It is reported that before his pro day he had a PCL strain he was nursing that he got working out for his pro day. I couldnt find collaboration about the 4.28 report but he is definitely a 4.3 speedster.

I have been looking at video on each rostered player and Cam Lewis has some good tape on him. He is a sure tackler and plays well close to the line of scrimmage. He will backup both Dillion and Kyle Gordon at NB. https://youtu.be/ll7lL_uqLD8?si=0f2NpuVIDnAS2yPH

If he reaches his ceiling, he's going to be very good.

This is movie length , I only watched 30 minutes. Im going to stick this here and right when training camp starts watch it to get excited again.

The Bears brass wanted more speed. Here's our offensive assets Zavion Thomas 4.28 Squirrel White reported 4.28-4.34 Kalif Raymond 4.34 Rome Odunze 4.45 Luther Burden 4.41 Jahdae Walker 4.43 Omari Kelly 4.48 Colston Loveland 4.69 Cole Kmet 4.70 Sam Roush 4.70 DeAndre Swift 4.48 Kyle Monangai 4.60 Caleb Williams 4.57

Just read where Chase Claypool is in the Packers camp as an invite. I hope they sign him. I was looking at tape on Shemar Turner and while in college he was a DE and they had him put on 15 lbs and move to DT because of injuries. I thought I heard he lost 10 lbs but never double checked that.

We are not going to be a top 5 defense again because since BJ got here, we are now an offensive team. As you saw this draft we are adding offensive assets . Last year was an example of DAs defense that led the league in TOs. I think if we were healthy, we very well could have did slightly better. TOs are said to be a lot of luck but when Lovey was here TOs were a priority. Same with DA, and with adding speed and having a better pass rush due to speed uptick and being healthier. A natural progression of players getting better figures in also. Now health will come into play again but as AZ mentioned, we are better depth to offset the potential injuries we may have.

Agree with everything. I think the back seven give 12-14 sacks.

I agree, we need to draft OL, DL, and CB every year to replenish the positions so you dont have to pay big contracts .

I keep looking at pass rush info and seeing if other paid pass rushers are below expectations. Sweat is paid the 16th highest contract. 7 players paid more had less sacks. Crosby and Sweat both had 10. The problem with paying high contracts, most dont live up to the money. Having several 6-7 sack players like Seattle is probably the best way to build this defense. Out of the top 15 free agents only Cam Jordan/10.5--, Von Miller/9-- and Clowney /8.5 were even close to 10. 6.1 mil, 6 mil, 3.5 il respectfully. Go out and get Cam Jordan, the best run and pass rush DE available.

I think they have a good idea what teams might take at certain positions. It's about when they take them. They probably could have gotten him at 60 but if they traded back to 66 , not sure they would have gotten him. If he's Tyler linderbaum, a few spots isn't going to matter if they wanted him that bad.

I find it interesting that the more you dive into the picks, the more you understand why they drafted them. A lot of pundits say, he was a 6th or 7th round pick but playing for BJ he can become a huge weapon, maybe not for many other teams. Puka Nacua was the last player taken in the 5th round of the 2023 draft, not saying he will be anything like that but that talent is found later in drafts. He run the ball several times and threw a few passes, BJ is going to love this guy. He is 1" shorter and 10 lbs less than Jamyr Gibbs but looks similar in watching both their highlights.

The bad defense as you state was last year, not because we didnt have any talent but because we had so many injuries. At least 2 games we had 6 starters out. When JJ came back, he didnt play well. When Edmunds came back, he didnt play well. Edwards was banged up for most of the year. Jarrett was only healthy at the end of the season. You are trying to use last year as an example that that happens every year and that's not the case. We have been consistently bad for many different reasons. I think the most consistent traits to be in and win many SBs is when KC was winning them. A great coach and a great QB are the two best traits for a team to have but they're so many variables its hard to even suggest that. We were a few plays away from being in NFC championship game with a bad defense. One of the best games we played all year was our last game against the Rams. We got there for many reasons and it takes a combination of good luck and good play. The Rams were one play away from going to the SB in their game against Seattle.

Good points, they won a SB with a great coach-average QB and a very good defense. Also the 9th best rushing team in the league. If Caleb is the man, Ben the coach , 2nd in the league in rushing. , we arent that far away.

Seattle won the SB last year with the 6th best sack team in the league. Also NE made the SB with the same number of sacks we had. (35) 4 of the top 6 sack leaders didnt make the playoffs Atl-Minn-Browns-Lions Playoff teams 2025: top 10 in sacks Denver-Rams-Seattle-Chargers-Eagles-Texans-Steelers other teams Bears-49ers-NE-GB-Panthers-Bills-Jaguars Seahawks leading sackers L. Williams/7- B Murphy/7-U Nwosu/7-D Lawerence/6 - D Thomas/3.5 They run a 4-3 and 3 are LBers, I DE and 1 DT. Anyone can post stats to try to make a point and that's what this is. As much as pass rush defense is important, its not the end all to making it to a SB, Seattle shows its a consensus of pass rushers and not one top player. A lot with Seahawks success was scheme with speed and athletics players. I think we are building the defense in the same manner. Our top 5 sack leaders Sweat/11-Dexter/6- Booker/4.5 (6.5)-C J Gardner/3 -Jarrett/1.5- I dont think we are as far away from being a decent pass rush team

As we know by the history of the NFL speed alone doesnt make you a good NFL player. We have an excellent coaching staff and a good scouting dept. so if they bring someone in, I think at least they have a chance to become a better player. Of course that doesnt make every prospect succeeds but I trust the staff(2025 draft) until they give me reason not too. I judge Poles differently with BJ and an upgraded coaching staff over before last year. They all have an input and it applies to their picks.
