Not much out there,and not sure who we could have taken after Judkins and Henderson were gone by the time we got our 2nd round pick........
JK Dobbins maybe a choice,but he is always hurt.....

Bears life......

For what we need from a RB this upcoming season (obviously, we will want a young guy back their next year if possible) I could see both Dobbins AND Chubb being sufficient to compliment Swift. Hopefully we end up with one of them. Chubb sounds like an amazing team mate and seems more of a compliment to swift than Dobbins is, so I’d rather bring him in.

Both always seem to be hurt.....Im not liking either one,but atleast Dobbins is 3 years younger.....for what its worth.
Chubb just did not seem himself last season when he cane back from that knee injury......
So if we are going that route for rb,good luck to the Bears for picking one.

Not sure Tarik was able to do this after his surgery:

Yeah...Tarik was posting instagrams of himself during his rehab...then he got reinjured and admitted he went too hard and that was that for Tarik Cohen.

A flyer on Chubb...whatever. I would be surprised if we got the good Chubb after his injury. Odds are more likely he re-injures himself than that. There's a reason he hasn't been signed yet and would be a last minute, post draft scrap heap signing. A draft pick, young and hungry, in a draft that was deep and talented would have been way better. But we traded down so we could add a project linebacker. *shrugs*

It's all coming down to this:

I'm pretty unimpressed with Poles at the moment. His moves from the start of the draft combined with a move like this would be full-on admittance that our coaching staff is unimpressed with 3 of his recent bigger moves. IE: These moves fully call out Kmet/DJ Moore/Deandre Swift. (and Ben Johnson even alluded to this with his "dial it up a notch" comment)

Think about that.

We JUST SIGNED Swift (30 f*cking seconds into free agency opening last season mind you)...Traded for DJ Moore in the 1 pick move a few years back and re-upped Cole Kmet for 50 million or so two years ago. And they're definitely high profile "faces" of our franchise last season going into this one.

WTF is all I can say...LOL. Poles is fully just going to support his coach I guess. That could have some merit....BUUUUUTTT:

They better be right about Johnson, because if it doesn't work out it damns Poles to f*cking eternity. Why? Because he just waffled on 3 of his biggest moves in the past couple years.

Mind you, he's waffling on the word of his new coach. Well that's all fine and dandy...but Poles has arguably one of the WORST HC hirings in NFL/Bears/Whathaveyou history on his resume in Eberflus...and what is going on with Johnson fully confims that Poles made FA/Draft moves to appease THAT GUY and that sh*tty OC he hired last offseason.

Whatever. We'll see. If the Bears suck this season and Poles still has a job in 2026, this franchise is just f*cking with us.

Nick Chubb to the Bears​

Chicago was rumored as a potential Ashton Jeanty landing spot in the draft. Instead, the Bears focused on the other skill spots. Chubb's pure rushing prowess would be a welcome complement to D'Andre Swift's change-of-pace burst, however. The entire offseason has been about boosting Caleb Williams' support.

If he passes the physical, it's a no brainer. The chances are contract length aside, Chubb would likely get just one year guaranteed, with little cap hit to boot.
