Not interested in continuing to build through the draft, the Bears need to produce this upcoming season and show the league that they're competing for the playoffs let alone the Super Bowl. This will pay dividends next offseason when top tier FAs are actually interested in signing here.

We need to trade up for MHJ at #5 and bolster our offense for the immediate foreseeable future!
24 FRP and Carolina's 25SRP.


Ryan Pace is that you?

it's been Poles's MO as well, unfortunately. He's had an itchy trigger finger since the Claypool trade.


And it's served the Bears very well. Picking up Keenan Allen and Montez Sweat for the price of a 4th and a 2nd could be two of the keys if the Bears turn this around.

A couple of rumors I heard on ESPN: Jayden Daniels may not want to go to WAS, and if the Raiders wanted to move up to 2/3 to take a QB, it would likely cost a swap of FRP this year, plus their FRP for the next two years, and possibly a 3rd to boot. For any other QB other than Caleb Williams, I'd be happy to move down to get that haul.

There does seem to have been a noticeable shift from Williams and his camp since Fields was traded away.

Ever since then, it sounds like he actually does want to come here.

He is a fascinating dude. Has an aura that only the superstars have. Like LeBron or MJ. Doesn't mean he will be a star... but he has that rare mix of confidence and insane competitiveness.

:lol:

Media pundits can stop scolding fans and other media for ramping up the pressure. Caleb says, hold my beer.

I assume he's asking Cardinal fans, because that trade is hilariously below market for them.

I get the Lebron too. Hhhhh. Laid back Lt. Pete Mitchell also. But there’s something else in there. A couple times I caught a look in Ryan Clark’s eyes like, ‘What am I looking at here’?

I think you're still buying into the false media hype of Caleb not wanting to come here at some point.

To me, it’s sounded like he’s always wanted to come here. Especially after Colin Cowherd backtracked. Since then it’s been all Chicago

Yes sir. If the Bears walk out of the draft only with Caleb and MHJ, they would still be the biggest winners of the draft.

So f*** dem picks and give me Caleb and Marvin.

I was looking closer at the dude's proposal and ARI is going to want either the Bears first in '25 or the CAR 2nd rd pick in '25, in that deal. I''d include the CAR 2nd but not the 2025 first.

If all WRs are off the board, I believe Brock will be the 9th pick.

I also believe they will TRY to move up for either Nabers or MHJ.


1a MHJ
1b Nabers
2 Bowers
3 Odunze


That’s how I see it, on the receiver side.

Return to Chicago Bulls
