DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Good for Ian. On to round 2. I believe if he is hired Bears qualify for 2 3rd round picks (presume in next years draft vs this years). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I heard, one this year and one next year. It's a third round comp pick , so pick will be around pick 100. Anything helps. A good spot for a RB or OC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Yeah one in 2025 and one in 2026. Basically replaces the lost 4th rounder since it is at the end of the 3rd Round, but would give the Bears 5 picks in the top 105, which they would need to hit on.

DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 Oh wow. Didn’t realize it would hit this early. My view is those are huge for OC or RB or Safety…so nice to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view is those are huge for OC or RB or Safety…so nice to have. Expand Yes, I would say RB or WR, always some talent still in play at pick 100. I think BPA is always in play at each spot. Appears to be more DL available at 10 unless we move back. Reaching with blue chip players on the board doesn't always play well . The second round will have OL available. Our first 4 picks should be trenches but if a WR, RB, or S with quality there, it should be considered. Lots of guards in top 72 to choose from, it's about value of the spot.

Stinger226 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 I seen another GM candidate has the edge at Titans, assistant at KC. No third round pick this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I worded it that he was the front runner for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Just read that the new GM will be Bogonzi, an assistant manager from KC. I have now seen several reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Just like that it seems the fantasy about Cunningham becoming a GM somewhere won't be happening until after the Bears become a winning team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASHKUM BEAR Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Cunningham interest is warming up again. I'd almost like to keep him one more year, but the late 3rd could be beneficial adding another player. https://www.windycitygridiron.com/2025/1/24/24351256/report-chicago-bears-agm-ian-cunningham-a-candidate-for-jacksonville-jaguars-gm-job-nfl-2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearFan PHX Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 He has turned down other offers before. I suspect he will wait for an opportunity that he really believes in. Of course I cant know what his feelings are about Jacksonville, but it's not an elite destination as you say AZ54. My guess is he sticks around this year. My gut tells me he has been good for us in player evaluation, but i also think having Johnson and his staff around should help alleviate whatever we lose in that way when Cunningham does finally go. That extra 3rd looks like an interior OL or DL to me. Could be a RB, S or TE too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
