The Bears 2025 Draft Thread

Only if we throw in the 3rd round.

That would be so…

…us

 

[Jiddy]

We’re gonna package both 2nds and trade up into the 1st for something, aren’t we?

A running back, of course.

The most frustrating thing is you could have traded back and still gotten this guy

The problem is you need a willing trade partner. I'm sure Poles put out some feelers, but obviously no takers.

Shooting from the hip a bit, but other than the Dallas pick of an OG , which we don’t really need, I’ve liked every player picked after us more than what we picked…

Definitely possible. I’m sure they didn’t want to move behind Indy, just in case. Which would have left them limited on who they could trade with.

The pick was in when there was still 4 minutes on the clock. Which leads you to believe they weren’t moving off it.

Well I've already stated my feelings, but it's immediately water under the Bridge for me. In Ben Johnson I trust.

I'm sure way before we were on the clock Poles was on the phone. It didn't happen, doesn't matter anymore. Get over it.

Or I can bitch and moan because that’s what message boards are for

True. And you're doing a masterful job!!

 

[BearsWillWin]

If they trade Kmet before the draft is over and recoup a pick for him then it’s much easier to swallow this pick. Good athlete with big upside.

Or Loveland is basically Evan Engram and plays as your WR3 in this new offense….then it makes a little sense.

Sorry. Being a fan doesn’t require you to swallow all the bullshit your team feeds you. I’ll trust this franchise when they start proving they can win and win consistently. Until then I question everything.

 

[Payton]

I mean… Some of us aren’t going to get over a pick that few if any were speculating we’d take on the night the pick is made…. Especially when you consider that we’ve been talking about this draft for months.

Fair enough. I tend to first dislike a pick if it's not my choice, but then immediately give the player a chance. And give the coaching staff a chance as well. Because this seems to me to be a Ben Johnson pick, or at the very least he had a heavy hand in the choice. I loved that we hired Johnson, so even tho I'm not whippy about the pick, I'm more than willing to see how this plays out.

What in the actual fuck? I don't know shit, but I don't get this pick at all?! This is not a need at fucking all. I get BPA, and blue chips, yada yada, but goddamn, this is just not even close to a need.

Here I thought Kmet was gonna be utilized properly and often for once... I just can't see how this will end up a worthy pick. Like BWW said above, you may as well just trade Kmet now.

He basically needs to end up Gronk, for me to like this pick.

The player is gonna have a chance whether I criticize the pick or not.

I will root for him to be great. Like I would any player in a Bears uniform.

Absolutely! Won’t hate on the player! But just seems like we pissed away a top 10 pick trying to make us Detroit, when we have been told since the Ben Johnson hire that he was going to formulate a more customized offense around Caleb…

Maybe Loveland fits into that? Guess we’ll see. Just seems more of a final piece to the puzzle, not a foundational building block.

Then perhaps we're more on the same page than I initially thought. Because no matter how much I like or dislike a draft pick, because he's now a Bear he gets 100% of my support until proven otherwise. And JFTR, I was NOT for taking either Loveland or Warren for that matter. None of my 10,000 mocks I posted in here had me taking either one with the 10th pick. But for whatever number of reasons, the Bears brass thought differently. So rather than be all bummed out, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. Besides, we still have tomorrow with 3 picks on the table. Let's see how that all plays out.

Lame af 1st rd pick. Sorry, not sorry.
