I'll add edges...

Tyler Baron DE Mia

Jared Ivey DE Ole Miss

Tyler Batty DE BYU

 

Ruben Hyppolite II, LB at 132. Who?

I am so confused, this guy was a UDFA, why is Poles selecting him in the 4th round?

My guess is they must be happy with everyone on the roster.  Needs that we and the pundits listed were not all covered and could have been.

Yeah, they must be happy at RB and Safety, which is surprising considering the lack of depth at both positions. 

Then...Kansas City is killing this draft. They will be around for a long time.

What were they thinking.  Now Jack Sawyer gone.  

What is up with Shadeur Sanders? He is being black balled by every team.

Dude straight up comes off like a pompous asshole. Throws himself a “legendary” draft party. Has average skills. Carries himself like he won the conference and Rose bowl. Focused on his media presence, sponsorship deals, and making a music video. Deion sycophants in the media brewing discord as soon as the starter doesn’t throw for 300yds and 4TDs.

And then the whole “we aren’t playing for certain teams” nonsense?

Pass.

He was finally taken round 5.  I guess they can easily cut him if he brings any antics.  

Swinson, Neal or one of the best available guard prospects all look like good options. I think OSU center was out there too - could be a good depth move. 

Bears trade down again...

How can I get my weekend chores done when we keep moving down. 

Another trade - given this was more of a depth draft in general - I don’t mind this. Would love to pick up a future pick out of this too 

Pick up a future 4th for moving from 5th to 6th. Not bad.

Exactly, we didn't have extra pieces to move around this draft. All those late picks for flyers on positions we needed the last year or two hurts.

Now that is what I am talking about, they gave up Pick 148, and got 195 AND a 2026 4th rounder.

Great, I wasn't finding the details on espns tracker.   We got the Thuney pick back. 

So now they have 169 from BUF coming up, got a 6th back at 195, and still have 233 in the 7th.  The 4th in 2026 is huge, middle of the round is pick 116-118 depending on 3rd round comp picks, so that trade made up for the loss in value with the BUF trades.

Funny - last year the Bears traded a future 4th straight up to get the 5th they used to get Booker. Then this year they trade their 5th for a future 4th and also get a 6th round pick in this draft. Seems pretty shrewd to me. 

Best available:
MBow, G
Pegues, DT
Reed, S
Croskey-Merritt, RB
Paul, LB

Exactly, they basically got a 6th for free, which evens them up with the losses of the BUF trades.

The Bears had traded their own 2026 4th away for Thuney, so the Rams trade gets a 4th back. 

14 picks to go.

Still available:

Martinez, Neal, and Smith at RB
Mickens and Reed at S
Frazier and Huber at OG
Pegues at DT

I would be happy with any of these 8 guys this late in the 5th. 

Lots of RBs still available.  Might be Brashard Smith but give me Ollie Gordon and hope he gets back to 2023 production behind a real offensive line.
