I'd be pretty damn happy with that draft. I know CCS doesn't like Scourton but if he could become a legit DE in a Dennis Allen defense then that draft is pretty much a dream draft, especially if Membou can play LT.Here’s a pretty interesting mock draft for the Bears from Pro Football Network…
“10) Chicago Bears
Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
The Chicago Bears aggressively addressed their offensive line early in the offseason. That said, they face a difficult choice ahead of them in whether or not to extend left tackle Braxton Jones. In this NFL Mock Draft, they instead trade him (spoiler alert) and opt for a cheaper, higher-upside option.
Armand Membou has always stood out physically with his length, agility, and power. In 2024, his technique caught up to his athleticism, making him a well-rounded prospect. He’s a high-upside lineman, but don’t mistake him for just another NFL Scouting Combine riser; he’s a lot more refined than many people give him credit for.
39) Chicago Bears
Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
Though Grady Jarrett is a strong addition to the Bears’ defensive line rotation, he turns 32 in late April and figures to be more of a short-term addition to the interior.
Kenneth Grant is a powerful defensive tackle who can eat up double teams and control the line of scrimmage. His combination of size, athleticism, and leverage makes him a disruptive force as a 1-technique defender.
41) Chicago Bears
Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
Though the Bears signed Dayo Odeyingbo in free agency to pair with Montez Sweat, their depth off the edge is still suspect heading into the draft.
Nic Scourton is a powerful edge rusher with a muscular, heavy build that carries his listed 285 pounds very well. He has some of the most refined hand usage you’ll see in an edge rusher in this draft class, and his short-area quickness is better than you’d expect for a man of his size.
72) Chicago Bears
Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa
After going heavy in the trenches in the first two rounds, the Bears add a powerful running back with tremendous field vision in between the tackles in Kaleb Johnson, who can pair with the shiftier D’Andre Swift.
82) Chicago Bears
Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
Trade: Bears receive No. 82 overall pick
Seahawks receive OT Braxton Jones
After trading Jones for another third-round pick, the Bears invest in a potential starting safety for 2026 and beyond, with no safeties currently under contract beyond this season. Between his stints at Clemson and Texas, Andrew Mukuba showed that he’s a rangy safety with the instincts and athleticism in coverage to start at the NFL level.”

Not going to judge the worthwhileness of a stat like this, but I like how they're measuring something concrete. FWIW, I feel like outside of Carter more people are fans of the interior of the defensive line in this draft than the EDGE rushers. I may be totally off-base on that statement, but it's just the way I see it at the moment.

He's the lightning that replaces Swift after next year to K.Johnson's thunder.

Scourton was playing pretty heavy last year after he transferred. He put on like 20 lbs for the Texas A&M scheme and it showed. He said he prefers like 265 and that’s how he showed up to the combine. He’s pretty young too. I’m not saying I love him, but there some extra context to him. I, by far, prefer a gamble on him in the 2nd than some of the names we hear in the 1st.

Definitely a strong IDL draft. I think I’d like the edges more if we didn’t have Dennis Allen. Knowing what he wants in an edge, there are a bunch of guys that are sort of eliminated… or at least I feel they almost certainly won’t draft. I think teams who like smaller, faster guys will love Green and Pearce, and even Walker.

It's all about the Bears winning and to do that they need to hit on their picks no matter what any of us think about those picks.

I don't want to give up our 3rd round pick to go with one of those two 2nd's to get back into the bottom of the 1st round but to get Harmon or Nolen i wouldn't hate it. I know some have Nolen making it to the early 2nd but don't think he does and if he did he won't make it to #39 IMO.

Everyone talks about his character issues but I still don’t know what they supposedly are.

If they're real then they will come out before the 1st round starts. If they don't then they don't exist.Everyone talks about his character issues but I still don’t know what they supposedly are.

This is just a friendly reminder that college stats don’t mean shit:
Michael Haynes is tied for second on Penn States single season sack leader list with 15 in 2002. (Had 5.5 total in 3 seasons with the Bears)
Chandler Jones had 10 sacks total in 3 years of college ball. (4.5 being his best year). Had 112 in his NFL career.
Shea McClellin had 20.5 sacks at Boise. 8.5 in the NFL.

Just thought this exchange was kind of funny. One moment he says the Bears shouldn’t trade up for a RB… “not this year”, but then implies other teams would be willing to trade up… as if it’s stupid to think they wouldn’t move up. Can’t really have it both ways.

Yea no way. I think the media might be underrating him a bit. I definitely don’t think he’s making it out of the first. I think he’s actually gone by 25.

Consider me all in on the Derek Harmon train. Dude is the versatile 3T the interior needs. Got the size, production, best DT tape in the draft, better than Graham imo. I’m just hoping Poles and Allen can see it too.
He has elite first step quickness, rip and pull power, in a lot of the film I’ve seen, he’s either blowing by people or rag dolling them. He seems to create absolute havoc on the interior. Last year, my favorite tape on dline was Verse, this year it’s Harmon.
I’d then go Landon Jackson with one of the seconds and the best available OT or RB with the other. You’d fix the dline for a long time with this set up.

According to Dane Brugler's THE BEAST, he was arrested for speeding, driving on a suspended license, and failure to present insurance - but all charges were dropped. It also says that scouts are wary if he has the right amount of "love of the game." Which probably means he murdered two or three white women while at Tennessee.Everyone talks about his character issues but I still don’t know what they supposedly are.
I don't remember if it was on The Score, or on a podcast, but there was somewhere I heard that UT basically kept him away from the media.
