I think they have: LT- I think it'd be smart to go with Brown or Fisher here. RG- Finding a starting OG in the draft should be feasible. 3T- The free agent crop sucks unless they bring back Larry O. I'd look to draft one. #2 CB- A ton still out there in free agency. Rhodes and Desir have experience with Flus. S- Free agency has a handful. Dane might already be that guy though. X WR- Draft OLB- Attouchu? Or however you spell his name might be that guy. 3T, OG, and WR are the 3 I'd be looking for.

Greg Gabriel said he believes bears are drafting big people early, not skill positions. This after talking with people around the league.

I've spent a lot of time hyping up Byron Pringle this off-season, but Mooney needs some love too. What makes a #1 WR in the NFL? How many are there? Last year Mooney was 15th in receiving yards among wide receivers(17th overall). He also was 6th in the league in creating separation. Mooneys best ability, imo, is his ability to get down field and create separation. With the OL being pretty blah last year I don't think we were able to utilize that ability all that well. Fields and Mooney have been working out together all off-season, and with an improved offensive line, giving him the ability to work down the field more, I could see Mooney having just a monster year.

There really is a lot that can be done right now to make this roster really competitive. If they do really well in the draft and bring in some key free agents this team is just a few bad picks from green Bay away from winning the north....that's right I said it.

Still a lot of money to play with too. Brown and Rhodes are musts to me. I may even throw Desir in there as a bargain buy and to really fill out the secondary. I would have liked Trettor but it seems the Bears really like Patrick at center.

It's possible. Getsy has never called plays so idk how much stock I should put into looking at the packers offense the past few years, but they didn't appear to have any gadget type players. In 2020 the Pack had the number 1 offense in the league. They got 90 catches out of their RBs, 76 out of their TEs(52 from their #1), 33 a piece from their #2 and #3 and then the rest from Adams.

His 40 time is a bit faster, but Pringle actually had a better 3 cone drill than Lockett which tells me he's good with change of direction and that helps with getting open. I still really like Mooney as well, and he's been training with Fields all off-season and thats only gonna help. Bears have brought in a few later round WRs for visits....I would not be the least bit upset if they wait till day 3 to get a WR. I expect Kmet and Monty to have a high volume of catches as well.

I just felt the need to point that out. Pringle averaged 24.1 YPC at Kansas State. He was a bad kid and had some troubles with the law in his youth and I think thats why he went undrafted. Going to KC where Hill and Kelce dominated the targets as future hall of famers really limited what I think he can do for the bears. I think he's got the potential to be just as good as another K State WR....Tyler Lockett.

"Big" is the word to use here as the bears have speed. Pringle may have a 4.43 on record but he plays a lot faster than that. I read an article where he was clocked in at a top speed of 21.14 MPH last year which is right up there with the top guys in the league.

Like Adam said, there is a sweet spot in the 30-50 range and I think thats gonna make trading down enticing. If we're talking moving down 5ish spots for another top 100, I think you do it.

Just remember that it takes 2 to tango. I absolutely think he will look to trade down, but if it doesn't happen I'm not gonna be mad.

Bears have a ton of speed in Mooney and Pringle. I think both are getting underrated here. I think Mooney, especially with the work he and Fields are putting in together this off-season, has #1 potential. Pringle can be an absolute stud as well. His analytical numbers are really, really good.

This is a no brainer if they can find the match. Soooo many different picks that make sense in the 2nd.

Well said and I completely agree. Pringle is an ascending player and should be given every shot to be at the very least the number 3 guy. Because he's not a household name yet I think he's being incredibly underrated and very well could be the number 2 guy and have a better year than any rookie brought in. Honestly I would not even be upset if they waited and grabbed a WR on day 3. Address the OL first and foremost. I'd really like that to be done in free agency, but if they wanna get young, fine.

Man, PFN seems to be incredibly unrealistic. I would love if the draft shakes out like that. I'd pick Salyer in the 3rd. Maybe even the 2nd. I think he becomes the best guard in this class. The Moore and Rainmann picks are out there too.

I love Tyler Smiths physicality, but the guy lead all of college in holding calls and there's probably a lot more that didn't get called looking at his tape. He wins a lot by holding and being TOO physical. He also doesn't have the best kick back which is gonna get him in trouble and cause him to reach for those holds. There's a lot to like, and he fits the mold of what Poles wants, but I just don't know about him surviving on the edge against good pass rushers.

Ehhh, with so few picks and so many holes idk if I like that. Trust your scouting. This team is probably gonna be picking in the top 10 next year. I'd try and grab Brown or Fisher on a 1 year deal then get your franchise LT next year. I just don't see anyone that's gonna be available worth a pick to play at LT.

Man, it's crazy looking at the packers stats the past few years. Adams just absolutely dominated their passing game. Their #2WR hasn't caught more than 35 balls the last 3 years. They use their RBs more than their #2 guys. Mooney will never be Adams so I don't think they can get by like the packers have but man.

Just read an article that said the Packers used a 4 WR set just 22 times in the last 3 years. Idk if that's something we're gonna see a lot of with Getsy here. Especially with Kmet emerging.

I definitely don't think they go with 2 WRs at 48 and 71. Or at least I don't think they should. I want someone who is gonna produce right away with both those picks.

I guess we shall see. I really want them to bring in Brown or Fisher. Like realllly want them to. I don't trust any of the LT prospects to protect Fields blindside. That then pushes the need on offense to just OG and WR. I'm bigger on Pringle than most so I'm more than willing to wait till the 3rd to get that WR.

Remember we are running a 4-3 now. I don't really see Jones as a 3 technique. He had just 18 pressures last year whereas Larry O had over 50. I understand that this year is gonna be mostly about developing Fields but part of that should be putting a competitive defensive out there too so he isn't constantly having to play from a big hole. I like Logan Hall a lot. He's been my pick in most of my mocks the past few weeks. He's got a lot of the the length that Buckner has. In my ideal world they go DL, OG, then WR in that order....if the board shakes out right.

Define rotational players when it comes to DT. While technically true, a DT isn't gonna play every snap, there are still "Starters." Last year Deforest Buckner played 77% of the snaps for Eberflus. I don't think the Bears have a guy I'd want out there 77% of the time. DT is very much a day 2 need IMO....unless they bring Larry O back and he's healthy.

I'd still very much like them to grab Duane Brown so we can make sure left tackle is solidified. I'm not crazy about any of the 2nd round LTs. I also really think they should grab a 3T fairly early because there just isn't anyone on the free agent market worth a damn there. I do think it is important that the defense doesn't totally suck so Fields isn't constantly playing from behind and defenses can just put constant pressure on him because he's forced to pass a ton.
