I like Cole Kmet DJ Moore Teven Jenkins Jaylon Johnson I think Byard is a good pick up.
I wasn't a fan of the Sweat trade but if he plays this year like he did last year that's a good pickup. Sweat needs to be consistent year over year, he has only one double digit sack season so he needs to lump a few more together.
Braxton Jones has outperformed relative to expectations but I don't want him to be the long term starter unless he has a massive breakout year.
Edmunds and Edwards I can give two shits about because off the ball linebackers are replaceable unless they're elite. I thought it was a mistake to deal Roquan Smith the way they did.
Wait and see on the other two CBs.
Running backs are completely replaceable every year but for most Bears fans they live and die for running backs and linebackers because those are the only great players we've had consistently.
I'm basically exhausted from hope. I'm tired of having guys on the roster who could go either way. They could be great but more often than not they're gone within three years.
Like the Khalil Mack trade. They gave up a lot for him and got one great year out of him. There was a lot of excitement and rightfully so but damn the squeeze wasn't worth the juice.
The Cutler trade wasn't worth it.
The Justin Fields trade was a massive failure.
I'm 46 years old and I'd like to see them dominate before I die.
Cue the fat insults.
I'd take Jones over every LT from J'Taco to who Jones replaced (I don't feel like looking up whether Leno or Massie was LT, they both sucked).
Mack was at the cost of offense. Cutler wasn't given offense until too late to pay for defenses. Fields wasn't given an offense except too little too late. What are we defending, a losing score? Maybe we're defending McCaskey season ticket sales.
Smith was a cancer for a player who tackled for gains. He tackled well but he didn't tackle for losses. He wasn't worth a #8 let alone the money he wanted or the constant hold outs.
Every D player who makes the 53 should be able to tackle. Yet fans act like that's worth a top pick and top pay.
I'm 61 with chronic disease, high risk medicine. I figure I'll be lucky to live to 75. This is probably my last chance to see a dynasty with the Bears. If it's not Williams and they pull another rebuild I may as well stop watching.
I don't mind if they do it with a defense but they had better figure out an offense to get a score to defend is the most important.
Unless we have the golden boy on offense we're going to get flagged for sacking the golden boy QBs and our QB is going to get ignored while getting kicked in the head.
That's just the way it is. If we don't get an offense we won't get any respect.
We're not going to get there replacing the 1sts and 2nds every year because they're not instant greats. If Brisker, Stevenson and Wright aren't great someone had better start coaching them up to their picks. A bust here or there is expected but all of them, that's a coaching problem.
