That’s sure to help their 31st ranked defense.

I heard Wanny mention that Greg Schiano flew him out to Rutgers for 3 days last year to watch his team practice.
He said what we see that he is tough, more quick than fast and will be playing day 1 for the Bears.
He also mentioned that he believes that they will bring another RB in and run the shit out of the ball.

I still expect them to bring in a RB and for the coaching staff to find the best combination of runners.
There is not enough competition. My guess is that they are about to move around some salary and bring in someone via trade or FA shortly.

So….Bears brass was right to avoid this jackass.
Pittsburgh getting future draft picks two weeks after the 2025 draft just makes it worse.

You know this guy will be busting ass in every practice too.
As an add, JK Dobbins would be high risk, high reward. He’s the RB I would target, but there’s no way I’m giving him two years unless the second year has zero guaranteed money.

Its even funnier that many know how deep this draft was at the devalued rb position, and yet they belittle the Monangai pick as just a 7th rounder as if that means he isn't good and therefore another veteran RB is needed.

He would seem to be the likely target, but any team would have to look at his medicals before doing anything.
I can't see him getting too much, so imo it's probably worth the risk if they think he's ok.
On a side note, Wanny also saw Turner primarily as a DT and loved the Dalman signing for Caleb which I thought was the most important signing to do even before FA began.

They might be able to kick a bit of Thuney's money down the road.

If they extend Thuney they will certainly lower his 25 cap hit.

Since this is a NFL Draft thread, I liked this post on X. By the way, I think Hampton will be a monster playing for Harbaugh.

yep, he would have been fun to get in the draft, but not where the Bears could get him. Hampton as the 1 and Swift as the change of pace would have been dynamic

I really wanted him but realized 10 was too high and 39 was too low.
So he ultimately was taken in between lol.
Hamp and swift would have been sweet but not to be.

Ok, this is pretty good and he didn’t get flagged for holding even one time!

Well offloading Moore doesn't make much financial sense next off-season either. It'd be far more practical and cost effective to cut Kmet and Edmunds at that time if you're hard up for cash. Moore is a really productive WR in a league where you field at least three WRs for most of the game.
And even then, it doesn't make a lot of money sense to offload Moore's contract until at least 2027, when the team has in excess of $160M in uncommitted dollars.
I want to be a neutral observer here, but it looks to me that you are throwing out a guess at what might work instead of considering the more practical options at freeing up cap space.

Turner is my favorite pick if they intend to get his weight up to around 295 and kick him inside.
I didn't know alot about him when the Bears picked him outside of him playing on the Aggies defense and that he basically went through the same motions that Walter Nolen went through as a twitchy defensive lineman on a shaded hybrid front.
On his tape hes quick, he's twitchy/hard to get your hands on him, stout base and low center of gravity and he blasts off the LOS with a punch. I'm not worried about his collegiate production coming out of the Aggies defense.
My biggest gripe is his missed tackles. I get that bitching about missed tackles is as common as old people bitching about the weather but it's bad with Turner, he does miss on too many tackles.

Yea, he's owed 16, so I figured they could guarantee it all and push ~11 million down.

- Bears second-round pick Ozzy Trapilo served as Boston College’s RT starter in 2023 and ’24. Chicago choosing Trapilo at No. 56 points to him being eyed as a 2026 starter, as LT starter Braxton Jones is in a contract year. Ryan Poles said during a Kap & J-Hood ESPN 1000 interview (h/t ESPN.com’s Courtney Cronin) the Bears will begin Trapilo at LT this offseason, as the team is sufficiently confident Trapilo in Trapilo’s RT seasoning. That opens the door to starter work while Jones recovers from ankle surgery; Chicago’s three-year LT is expected to miss training camp time.

The Commanders are among many teams making O-line changes based on draft decisions

Wright is a really good player; if he can make the switch to LT, I am all for it.

That's what good coaching is for.. I'm sure Bears DL coach is well aware of it..
