Without a doubt, a seminal moment in the history of the NFL Draft and the NFL. The mid-90s is when the draft began to turn from a event for hardcore fans into the sports entertainment behemoth it is today.

Bears to reveal designs for lakefront stadium Wednesday.

Bears to reveal designs for lakefront stadium Wednesday.

I don't know how seriously I take this. Lots of speculation this is still a negotiating tactic with AH.

Zach Wilson is a Bronco.

Don't even have to make up new jerseys.

Time for Sean Payton to work his magic.

So just a give ‘em away like Justin.

My hunch is telling me both Caleb Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr. are both Bears by the end of Thursday night.

I’m not saying I love them paying the price to move up to 5 to draft Harrison, but I have a gut feeling that’s what will happen.

And yes, I said pick 5, because I believe QB’s are going 1-4.

I'm sure that will work out well.

1. Williams
2. Daniels
3. Maye
4. MHJ
5. McCarthy to the Vikes

IMHO, Bears are more likely to trade down than trade up. Do they want to give up two firsts for MHJ when they possibly can stand pat and get Odunze, who many have graded about the same? A 2025 second probably isn't enough to entice the Cards or Chargers, especially when others (like the Vikings) will be offering two firsts.

Just my hunch on MHJ. I’d rather they stand pat if Odunze is there.

I agree with you. With only four total picks, I see them moving down for more picks. And, I can't believe I'm writing this, the Bears seem good at WR.

They are most definitely not good at WR. They have zero depth, and Allen’s deal is up after 2024.

Good point. I should have stated that I think they should draft a WR later. I think moving up to draft a WR seems a bit much with two good starters in place for next year.

IMO, the 3 top WRs will be gone by #9. If so, I expect the Bears to trade down.

Damn Ryan Poles "We know what we're going to do, but everyone is going to have to wait until Thursday to go there.", he is playing his cards so close to his vest. I wish we had a clue as to who the Bears will pick #1.

You mean the quarterback equivalent to Prince?

NFL GMs are insanely strange.

So you think the Bears will go with a QB and not address the special teams? 

That was a weird quote about Williams. "..he scares the s*** out of a lot of NFL teams too.". I'm trying to grasp any NFL team or FO that would be "scared to s***" about any player. If your NFL team is "scared to s***" about an potential draft choice, you got waaaaay bigger issues to be addressed, by a therapist ideally.

Anybody think the Packers or Jerry Jones or the Giants or Robert Craft a scared to s*** by anyone?

[Jockey]

So, is Caleb also only 5’2”?

And never played football?

He'll probably force a trade to the Vikings. Colors and location matter. 

[jesmu84]

Is Prince bad? Scary?

Over/under for Friends of the Park to release a statement/file a lawsuit against the Bears is 2:30 pm tomorrow.

That is really a dumb idea. Why would Chicago even touch that price tag?
