The Bears 2025 Draft Thread

I’m over Simmons at this point. He’s got T. rex arms too.

The absolute most overblown talking point when it comes to tackles that only serves to allow fans to pretend they're scouts.

It's right up there with QB hand size.

That was the latest I was hearing was Denver wants to get to 5 to take Jeanty.

Cannot wait til tomorrow, just so we stop seeing mock drafts posted because everyone is too busy posting that they were wrong for looking for us to take a 3-4 edge linebacker to play 4-3 defensive end. I know Shea McClellan was no great pick, but it did not help for them to push him to get to 275 instead of seeing if he could take over for Urlacher at his 250.

What/who are you talking about? I haven't seen anything about us taking a linebacker at 10.

Denver wants to get to 5 to take Jeanty.

There was a story that Sean Payton has a history of moving up. But someone else on another board mentioned Denver also.

For what its worth, Detroit last year used the RB on 54% of their play calls (tops in %). They also targeted the RB on 48% of scoring plays (2nd most).

Detroit used the TE sparingly (9%) which was below the league average (for those believing the mocks that they grab a TE).

WCG is trying to guess the Bears big board for the 10th pick:

Here’s an attempt to get inside the heads at Halas Hall

Have to say, it's pretty close to mine. I might swap out Graham at 4 with trade back at 3, altho trade back is mighty tempting. And I definitely don't have Stewart in my top 10. They're giving a bit more priority to the TEs than I would, but I understand their thinking. All in all, it's fairly close.

Holy fucking shit you're a moron.

I don't like where the chatter is going with our first round draft. No trade ups please-especially not for a RB. There's only 2 players worth trading up for (Carter and Hunter) and the price will be steep...and double please don't take a TE at 10. I could at least UNDERSTAND the RB Jeanty at 10...but a TE at 10 would piss me off to hellfire and tarnation.

Speaking of the RB at 10...If we end up with Jeanty, we will then become the "gold" standard for debates about how you build a team. If we put 3 top 10 picks into QB/WR/RB in a full rebuild of a meh roster and we fall on our face, our demise will be discussed for years whenever teams talk about rebuilds and what should be done in the draft. Conversely, if it works out, we would be that example team that other GM's/Teams go: "See! it worked for them" when they make outside the box picks.

Personally I'd rather be boring and NOT be that team...but it is what it is so we'll see. Just let the LT from LSU drop to us at 10 and let's get boring. I feel like if that happened I would be relieved more than anything at this point.
