Well I was referring to WR and OL but yeah, he has two WRs. Allen could be a really great get this offseason, but he also is old and not here for the long term as well as a possible injury concern.

Mike Tannenbaum posted his latest mock. He was a NFL GM. I think he’s kind of a douche but I definitely haven’t seen this before.
His picks for the Bears:
1. Caleb Williams
9. Marvin Harrison Jr.
www.espn.com
From the link:
Williams has rare talent and playmaking ability, and the trade of Justin Fields to Pittsburgh clears the road for him to come to Chicago. With a supporting cast of Keenan Allen, Cole Kmet, DJ Moore, D'Andre Swift and Gerald Everett, Williams is set up for speedy development as a pro and quick success. The sacks (83 over three college seasons) and fumbles (16) are concerning, but I believe Williams' fundamentals in the pocket (climbing instead of escaping backwards) will improve. He averaged over 9 yards per pass attempt in each of his three college seasons (one at Oklahoma) and threw 93 TD passes.
Chicago just traded for Keenan Allen and has a really solid set of playmakers, but how can you pass up Harrison at No. 9? He reminds me of Larry Fitzgerald -- he's excellent in contested catch situations, has great hands and gets in and out of his breaks smoothly despite being 6-foot-3 and 209 pounds. He just had his second straight season with 14 TDs and over 1,200 receiving yards (1,211). What better way to put Caleb Williams in a position to be successful than loading up his supporting cast?

i think the top 3 qb's will be williams, daniels and then jjmc. If thats the order i think the giants pass on maye and select the best offensive weapon since they are devoid of talent on offense... i think maye will be on the board at 9 and the bears will be left with no top WR's to choose from and verse, bowers, CB or a trade down as their options...

It’s interesting that he has three OTs going top 10 with two before 9. Chargers and Titans have huge needs there.
Chargers also have huge holes at CB and WR. They are a real wildcard in this draft.
Also, he is right that Atlanta’s biggest need is edge. They don’t have anyone right now that’s even decent.

Anything is possible, but I don’t see Maye dropping to 9. It would open up some interesting trade opportunities if he does.
Also, Daniel Jones absolutely sucks and their owner has already blessed taking a QB. I think they take one of the top 4 if any of them are there.

Vikings will trade up to get Maye. No way they have 2 1sts this year in order to sit idly.

right but in that same article i think it was, he loves daniel jones and last season wasnt on him, poor oline, no weapons...it is somewhat true...i think they may target an elite offensive weapon and take someone like penix to develop since jones will still be on the roster.
i think the vikes target jjmc or daniels...

Is Drake Maye the 2024 version of Will Levis? Last year, Levis was widely projected to go top 10, some even said top 5. And he slipped to the Titans in the 2nd round.

The most successful teams are typically somewhere in the middle, maybe a little more on the losing side.

JJ making a move for 2nd. If something where to happen to the Bears taking CW, I think I would prefer the game manager in JJ over the other 2 qb's.
NFL Draft: Odds for Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy going 2nd overall have a curious shift
"Jayden Daniels had comfortably settled in as the favorite to go second overall in the NFL Draft. Then, suddenly, the odds had a very interesting turn.
The BetMGM odds for Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy going second overall had a noteworthy move early this week. McCarthy was +2500 to be the second pick on Monday, and by Tuesday morning he was +800. Then late Tuesday morning the odds moved again to +400."

Ok, ok... IF MAYE is there at 9, I fully expect some team to want to jump up and grab him for picks... Hopefully, far enough back to require giving up a 2nd to do so. Raiders... Denver... I'd hate it, but yea the Vikings.

DE2 is a glaring need.
But we're not fixing the pass rush in one offseason. So don't force it due to "need" if there's a great trade down available or an elite WR prospect.

If Maye drops, we should be aiming for 2 1sts.
Basically what we had to give up to trade up for Fields.

I hear you. Believe I was hearing about this sort of trade as value for pick vs. value of return for the pick. How deep in the first would require by value charts for the draft to match. Now, if a bidding war erupts between two teams like Raiders and Vikings... All bets could be off.
It is all speculation, who knows. Bears were surprised at the lack of interest in Fields apparently, so who knows.

Any word yet on whether Aaron Rodgers has appealed?
