The Bears 2025 Draft Thread

[Lake Shore Drive]

That did happen, right? A tackle? Not our goalline back or some shit?

He's a big boy. 6'8, 316 lb. I can easily see an additional 10-15 pounds added to that frame.

Well I don't mind Shemar Turner at all, I just didn't want him for our 10th pick.

 

[justanidiot]

Well we got one A&M DL guy lol

 

[Jiddy]

More beef. Finally.

Oh wait, I was thinking of Shemar Stewart. Two players in the same draft with the name Shemar?

The other one would have been nice. This one probably tells us that Pickens isn’t going to happen.

Yeah, the man brings some size

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

I think that's it for us tonite, yes?

Here are some Luther Burden highlights:


The main trait I came away with this is the kid produces some decent YAC.

If I wasn’t entirely sure that Ben Johnson is the next GOAT HC and amazing evaluator of talent, I’d say we’re REALLY blowing this draft,

I'm just totally baffled at all this.....

Wr at no.2....??....wtf.....we just took Loveland at 1,when we could have used def lineman,olineman or rb before another damn wr.....just simply wow for me.

Then we trade down to get more picks....??....lol
We just chose quanity over quality....fuck that shit.
I just hate trade downs as much as I hate trading up.....

Im not sure wtf Poles/ Johnson are doing.......>shaking my head<

Poles and Johnson better show something this season,otherwise the boo-birds will come early and often.

I think they should’ve taken Mykel Williams with the first pick. I think they were meaning for oline, but even Banks went 9th, so any oline was a reach and with no trade back. Watching the lions and Vikings take players I like didn’t help either.

Nice phone-in presser with Ozzy Trapilo:


Articulate, respectful. I'm impressed that he played an entire season last year without a single penalty. That's really saying something. I'd like to know what the pressure rate and QB hurries was against him to tell the whole story, but just being able to avoid a penalty all season long is crazy. He's played RT the last two seasons, but in his collegiate career he's played the other 3 positions as well.

Unfortunate draft in the way it fell. Seems everytime the Bears were about to grab their guy, he was picked by the team just ahead of them.

I was looking for the draft on my drive home from work on terrestial radio. Some guy came on ESPN, never heard of him, saying he was shocked, shocked, shocked, never saw it coming. By the way, this whoever covered Mizz college football for the past 2 years, Burden was their number 1 receiver, they tried to get him the ball every way possible. Then last year, took a step back, so his stock fell.

I gotta admit, I loved watching Lions football last year. I posted before, why wouldnt Johnson want someone like Williams? That entire offense opened up for St Brown when the defense had to chase Williams all over the field. The key to it was Goff throwing in basically no windows, eating interceptions to try to make plays.

I saw he had 21 starts at LT and 24 at RT. I guess we see if there is real competition at the left side or if Wright gets an opportunity to get the big bucks with his extension on the left side if Ozzy can show enough. Otherwise, a backup to cover both sides is probably better than needing 2 backups.

I kinda agree, but it was hard to believe they did not have a plan for 41 other than trading down. You are not in slot money anymore, so who cares if the guy you got at 56 could have been taken at 41. I am sure he would feel better about himself.
