I'd put good amount of money on that #9 pick being used on an EDGE if they take Caleb Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They brought in DJ Moore a significant investment Drafted a LT in round 1 last year They’re drafting a generational talent QB They’re going to give him all the tools to succeed. There’s really no ‘if’ they’re taking Caleb Williams. If one of the WRs are there at 9, they’re going to take him. EDIT: this is obviously assuming Chicago doesn’t invest in a significant WR in FA. If they get like Mike Evans they’re obviously not likely to get a WR in round 1 Edited March 3 by Rainmaker90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If CHI is actually considering WR at #9, I could see them trading back since they don't pick again until RD3 (75). If they traded back to something like pick 20, they'd still have access to several excellent WR prospects, and should have added at least an RD2 pick in the process. If I was a (barf) Bears fan, that's what I would be hoping for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's a real chance the Bears will just take Verse or Turner at 9 to have bookend pass rushers, since those are harder to find than wide receivers.

Rome is a blue chip prospect and I can’t see them passing up on him . 59 minutes ago, thrILL! said: Considering their penchant for collecting TEs, watch them draft Bowers at 9.

RD2 sounds about right. I agree that CHI going defense at #9 seems more likely than WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not what’s best for the team. Then again, Bears GMs have a well-worn history of failure in doing what’s best for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, we have proof that he'll invest in WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Odunze falls into their laps, there is absolutely no reasaon to trade down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally am not a WR in round 1 but with Chicago’s situation I think it’s a smart decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Am I the only one who really couldn't be less interested in what the Bears do? There's just this overwhelming sense of "who cares, it won't work out for them anyway" in my mind with that organization. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ever actually try and get really serious about a good OL, I might pay attention. Until then it's just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

HokieHigh Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Fields is not worth a second. Maybe a 3rd or 4th. Bears have no leverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it probably will eventually like it did for the Lions to a certain extent. Doubt it will be under their current leadership though.
