Lions and Packers both meet with James Pearce. He’s going to be a steal.

Would you trade 72 for Kyle Pitts? He’s still only 24 years old and hasn’t scratched the surface of what he could be.
Falcons rumors: Kyle Pitts could garner a Day 2 NFL Draft pick via trade
After three-straight underwhelming seasons, the Falcons could potentially secure a Day 2 pick for Kyle Pitts around the 2025 NFL Draft.

Grant isn’t a sexy pick, and you never know for sure with the draft, but that’s the type of DL that anchors a defense for a decade while the best RB’s burn out long before then. (Which is my main reason for not wanting a RB at 10 no matter how good)

I’ll be honest, I would not hate picking Grant. His size and athleticism are unique. I want to keep building the trenches. I’m curious how the Bears have him slotted on their board.
Imagine Sweat, Grant, Dexter, and Dayo lining up together. That is a group of large, athletic guys. Being able to mix in Grady, Billings, and Booker is pretty damn interesting too. Dare I say it would start looking like a real NFL line with some depth.

Add in a second round DE (there’s several choices) and you are cooking with gas.
Keeps Grady fresh and on a snap count too

These are the players I hope they’re considering. That or maybe a DB.
(Obligatory I hope they can trade down comment)

I’ve said it before-I think he will be a more impactful pro than Graham. He is crazy athletic for a guy his size. It may not be a sexy pick, but it would be a safe one that could yield huge dividends for the defense for many years.

Grant gives me Akiem Hicks vibes. He is a rare athlete who absolutely can anchor that line for many years.
Dexter, Billings, Jarrett and Grant all rotating in on the DL would be nasty.

I was looking at the stats for the top running backs the other day and they just don’t last as long anymore. But if you hit on an elite DL or OL then those guys play 10+ years for you. Just seems like the better long term decision IMO.
I want the Bears to find their version of a Fletcher Cox. A guy who plays 12 years with the same team

Billings isn’t exactly a super star. Maybe an average starter. Remember when he went down? That run defense was awful. No depth. I could’ve run for over a 100 against that run D.
Grant would be an elite run defender who also has insane pass rush upside. Then they would just have to keep an affordable NT on the roster as depth.
He would be a great pick.

The unprecedented impact of Fletcher Cox, Jason Kelce and Brandon Graham
You can’t grasp the impact of these three retired Eagles without understanding the uniqueness of what they have in common.

This is the model. Not RB. Not bandaid trades or FA’s. Draft some anchors

They’ve spent big money before. I don’t think this offseason was unprecedented or anything. It’s just the time in the process where you got the ability, might as well do it
I hope the stadium has nothing to do with anything

I think it has and it's a welcome by product of that situation.
If anything, it forced their hands into spending big $$ on 5 new starters as they were woefully constructed coming into the year.
BJ is the paid for brains, Poles doesn't think and just executes the transactions and hopefully there is improvement.
I like what they've done so far and finally have some confidence that Ben will steer the ship in the right direction.

Edge and DT would get a lot of early reps, as would Warren. LT might as well depending on Jones. What's great here is that none of these are glaring needs and keeps the board open, Makes other teams less desperate to jump you and allows more trade down opportunities. This offseason was a great prelude to the draft.
