Here it is guys. The day is here. With that said, everyone make your final prediction on what you think will happen tonight. It can be simple or detailed. Whatever you like. But make sure you finalize your prediction. There’s no such thing as a stupid prediction, not matter how unrealistic it may be. If what you post is what you think they’ll be doing tonight, then great.

For the record, this is not a “I called it” thread. Nobody knows what the future holds, and for sure nobody here knows what Poles will do tonight. But it’s just to have fun with it. If someone guesses right, then hey, cool. That was awesome that you guessed the outcome correct. But there was no way of you knowing 100% that it would fall that way. It was just a guess.

Here is my prediction:

Bears are getting three “top 15” players this year. As Poles mentioned, he wants “top talent” this year and we could even have less picks than what we started with. So below is what I think will transpire tonight.

#1: Caleb Williams

#9: Odunze/Nabers if it looks like one of those will fall to us or trade up if one doesn’t seem like they will fall to us (use a 2025 3rd round pick or package a 4th pick and 6th pick, and see if they accept the latter first.

#12 - #19 Trade 2025 1st round pick, this year’s 3rd and 4th pick, and possibly a player or an additional 2025 late pick if needed. Select best DT or DE available.

We are still using our 2025 1st round pick on a first round player/talent. What we give away is this year’s 3rd and 4th pick. That’s what we are really losing. And maybe an existing player or late 2025 pick if it’s needed to make the deal. But if it’s an existing player, it’s someone that’s Poles is comfortable with trading in a deal.

Examples below: (Doesn’t have to be exact team we trade with. And this is just to show something along these lines is what I’m predicting.)

Worst case as far as trading picks go:

Best case as far as trading picks go: (We kept our #122 pick but I just made this to show our 1st round)

We can also take Bowers if Poles is fine with that at #9:

They can also trade for a tad less capital and target Braden Friske for maybe a 2nd rounder instead of our 1st. Maybe.

Also please add TLDR's to posts like this for people like me with ADD. Very hard to read a page of text when I have 4 monitors playing replays of the office

Bears take Marvin Harrison Jr with the first pick of the draft.

Washington take Caleb Williams with second pick

At Pick 9, Bears trade that pick to Washington for Caleb Williams

New York gives Pick 10 in salute to the coup Chicago pulled off and Bear use Pick 10 to take Joe Alt


Make it happen Poles.

Bears get the Haul. Trade 1 for 11, 23, 2025 1st and 2nd, 2026 1st and 2nd and 2027 1st and 2nd.

Bears then draft Odunze at 9, Verse at 11, Penix at 23, DT at 75 and IOL at 122 and have 2 firsts 2025-2027, 3 2nds in 2025 and 2 seconds in 2026-2027.

Aggressive:

Trade with the Chargers after the Vikings moved up to the #4 spot. Draft MHJ


Predictable:

Stay at #9 and draft Rome


Bears move:

Stay at #9 and draft Olu

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago White Sox
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
  1. UCLA Bruins
1 - Caleb
9 - Trade back get another thrid rd. and pick a DL..hopefully a DE over DT. I'll be happy with a DT.
Rd 3 - (2 picks) WR & OL or vis-a-verse
Rd 4 - either WR, DL or OL....maybe S

Edit: I think it's a diversion that da Bears seem to not talk about Latu and he's the player they really want with their 2nd First RDer.

Judging by Poles’s press conference, I’m calling:

1. QB C. Williams
2. Trade back or stay at #9 DT B. Murphy

I’d say Murphy is almost an inevitability. We’ll see if Poles really is that easy to read. I’m hoping not.

Bears trade back a little with the Raiders at 9, take Byron Murphy at 13.

I want Odunze, but I think the Giants shock us and take him.

I don't believe a fucking thing any GM says leading up to the process. I'm sure there's some true things mixed in with a whole lot of misinformation to throw people off the scent of what they really want.

I hope he was doing that too. Interested to see how tonight plays out! But if B Murphy is the pick, he told us in the presser.

I missed the presser. What did he say that would lead people to think Murphy is the pick?

Bold. So, do you plan to kidnap the Washington GM and the New York GMs children? Or are you just going to beat up them until they give up their pick?
