This just seems like a down year for can’t miss talent. (Which is expected since the Bears have a high first round pick for once lol).

This is probably the year to trade down to increase the picks/chances and hope next year is better.

I say it all the time. It's not just about being bad, it's about being bad at the right time. There's a lot of luck involved. The Bears have a nack for being bad during years in which generational talents are very slim to non existent.

It does kind of feel like that.

2022- Five 1st round WRs, Bears don't have a 1st round pick
2021- Five 1st round QBs, Bears luck into playoffs at 8-8. (got their QB, but had to trade up)
2020- Five OTs in the top 20, Bears no 1st from Mack trade
2019- Good pass rushing class, no 1st from Mack trade (this is fine since they had Mack)
2018- Looked like Bears were loaded, so took a non-value position top 10
2017- Two elite level QBs (until 1 sexually assaulted 35 women), Bears pick the wrong one.

Not only is it a down year for elite prospects, it’s a weak FA class as well. Of course the Bears have the most cap in the league and a top 5 pick lol

I mean I'd rather have a top 5 this year than last year. Better qb class for a trade back. Also would you rather have travon walker/Hutchison or carter/anderson?Anderson?

Also while last years wr class was better, there was still no elite wr prospect.

What do you mean by elite? Because there's not many Jamarr Chase level prospects ever. Justin Jefferson wasn't thought of as elite coming out either. Both Ohio St. WRs from last year are going to go over 1000 yards this season.

I mean a guy who was basically a sure thing. Chase was. Waddle and Smith to a lesser extent although Smith has not produced as much as I expected.

Drake London being the #1 in the class says a lot about it to me. London is okay, but he's not anything special. If Williams had been healthy he might have been an elite level talent. Olave and Wilson were probably the 2 best. But I guess nobody really stood out as a guy that would certainly come in and contribute right away.

OK, I get it. And I didn't like London as WR1 either. Wilson though could hit 1000-1100 yards with Zach Wilson as his QB for 1/2 the year. He might actually be a legit #1 WR going forward. Olave will probably hit 1000 w/ Andy Dalton. I think he's more of a good #2, but I'd take that from anyone in this first round.

Will Anderson is about as good of a prospect as there has been in the last few years. Alabama does a lot on defense with stunts and twists, to put offensive linemen in difficult positions, but one-on-one he is virtually unblockable. Yes, the Bears will have to improve the interior of the defensive line to help him be successful. But there is no reason to believe he can't be as successful as Micah Parsons is in Dallas

Will be interesting to see what the Bears do this offseason,there are a lot of viable paths they can take and i dont think any one stands out as the obvious best.

I think that if that is true, then is even more of an advantage for the Bear's because they will be drafting who should be the better player in every round compared to where the other teams draft. It also will mean that they will have the most money in free agency to use to sign the best free agents available.

All the more remarkable when you have the Saban’s, Swinneys, and smarts making more $$ than 24 NFL head coaches!!!
