Everybody agrees the list of players who could be available at the 9th overall pick on April 25th is strong. That is why the Chicago Bears will be compelled to stay put, hoping to land a blue-chip player for their growing core of talent. However, many people can't ignore the elephant in the room....
Fathers of prominent quarterbacks have a somewhat complicated history in the NFL. Jack Elway encouraged his son John Elway to threaten playing baseball if the Baltimore Colts drafted him in 1983. Archie Manning did the same for Eli when the San Diego Chargers held the #1 pick in 2004. Both...
The Chicago Bears don't have to worry about other teams when it comes to their #1 pick. It's the top spot in the draft. They can take whoever they want. It will likely be their preferred quarterback. That won't be the case with the 9th pick. While it is still an excellent spot in terms of value, GM...
It isn't always about how many moves you make or how big the moves are. It is about the overall value you get. The Chicago Bears wanted to make sure they covered as many bases as possible when the off-season opened in March. GM Ryan Poles had to make sure of one thing, though. He could not...
The Chicago Bears have spent most of the past few months evaluating all the top quarterbacks in the 2024 draft. GM Ryan Poles wasn't about to make the same mistake his predecessor Ryan Pace did with Mitch Trubisky in 2017. He would make sure he had all the information possible. However, despite...
If you're placing bets on who the Chicago Bears will take #1 overall, you're wasting money at this point. Everybody believes it will be Caleb Williams and there hasn't been any signs of that changing since the scouting combine. Every meeting between player and team has reportedly gone well. The...
People have tried to argue for months that the Chicago Bears' flirtation with a new lakefront stadium south of Soldier Field was nothing more than a bluff. It was a careful negotiating tactic by team president Kevin Warren to get Arlington Heights to lower its demands for high property taxes....
Last year, I made note of GM Ryan Poles' history as a scout and executive in Kansas City when trying to determine which player he might target with the Chicago Bears' 1st round pick. One thing that stuck out was the Chiefs' fondness for players from Tennessee, particularly offensive linemen. Zach...
Ryan Poles isn't a fool. He understands the gravity of his situation better than anybody. The pressure on him is immense. Everybody knows his decision with the #1 pick in less than three weeks will fundamentally decide the direction of the Chicago Bears for the next 5-10 years. He also knows their...
The favorite draft scenario for the Chicago Bears among top experts has remained the same for weeks. They will take quarterback Caleb Williams at #1, and then they will grab one of the top three wide receivers at #9 to further fortify his arsenal of weapons. Whether it's Malik Nabers or Rome Odunze...
Something weird is going on ahead of the 2024 NFL draft. At the end of the 2023 season, nobody disputed that Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was the best player at his position in the draft class. Some went so far as to say he was the best overall prospect. His unique blend of size,...
The Chicago Bears are easy to predict in the upcoming draft because everybody knows they're taking Caleb Williams #1 overall. It is all but a lock at this point. However, the intrigue doesn't end with that. GM Ryan Poles also holds the #9 pick, giving him a golden opportunity to keep adding...
