I think the Bears will have the best group of WR, TE, CB, and QB in the division. That is projection based and depends on LB3 and Loveland being 1st round caliber talents. The Bears bring up the rear in LB, Safety, and RB. All in all I think the talent gap has shrank dramatically after this offseason, coaching and staying healthy may be the difference between 1st and worst in the division.

Thoughts and opinions???

 

[hebs]

Vikes still have the best WR group until proven otherwise.

CB group
QB
Is about it.

 

[Discus fish salesman]

Outside of Donovan jackson, kwesi had his 4th straight terrible draft

 

[nc0gnet0]

A little confused, where is DJ Reader and Christian Mahogany on your list of Lions players???
You have The Bears as the best QB in the division? Based on what, pure blind Homerism?
Same goes with your TE rankings, an injured rookie and Cold Cement, hell, the Bears barley might crack third.

Reader is replaced by Tyliek Williams and Mahogany replaced by Tate Routege who they drafted in the 2nd round. Laporta is a little better than Kmet but he is nowhere near better than the Kmet+Loveland. You have nothing but a blocking TE after that.

As for QB, Goff has shown that he is mediocre without an elite Playcaller. Take away Johnson and that OL from Goff and he's worse than Caleb. Now its Caleb with the much better OL and all world playcaller. Caleb will be the best QB in this division.

Ratledge is better than mahogany. Frazier probably is too.

Another question is why is metellus still on Minnesota

Was Metellus traded or something?

Your QB holds the ball too long, can't throw over the middle, and has a deep ball accuracy issue. Not to mention, he can't throw with anticipation to save his ass. Does he have potential, sure, but until proven otherwise he is what we have seen.

LaPorta and Hockenson are so much better than Kmet it is laughable. Your rookie is injured, and will have a steep learning curve. You can't base rankings based on blind speculation. And with your tackle situation what is is, you sure as hell better hope one of your TE's is a "blocking" TE.

Did you forget you finished dead ass last in 2024? Now you have the Bears being superior in 4 position groups?

But hey, I get it, the Bears draftee's will be instant All-Pro's, while the three other teams all drafted scrubs.

Too bad, history tells us the opposite is true.

Dude, give me some of what you are smoking.

My mistake. I was thinking of cam bynum

What makes you say that? Ideally, Glasgow gets replaced to rotational duty.

Hockenson is a little bit better athlete than Kmet but overall he isn't that much better if at all. You are underestimating Kmet based on the Bears having terrible offenses the last few years, but he is still a good player. Loveland is a much better prospect than Laporta was and he won't need to do everything on day one because Kmet can handle a lot of the dirty work.

2024 is over, and your team has their best deep threat unfollowing the team and about to hold out for a contract. You better enjoy that NFC North banner because you are in for a long 2025.

Are you talking about the guy that showed up to voluntary workouts, was seen laughing and having a great time, and recently had his 5th year option exercised? And, he never "followed" the team to begin with, so it's impossible that he "unfollowed" them.

How many yards did Kmet have last year, considering he had the best Qb in the division throwing to him?

Kmet is better than the yards he put up in a broken offense. Hockenson's best year was 900 yds and 5 Tds on 125 targets, KMet's best year was 700 yds and 6 TD on 90 targets. In other words they are about the same level of player on a per target basis.

I don’t know about position groupings per se but the Bears are dead last until they prove they aren’t

 

[DefNextYear]

Outside of Donovan jackson, kwesi had his 4th straight terrible draft

He’s actually pretty horrendous. It’s impressively bad what he does.

Hes done well in FA but a gm can't get by like that forever. He makes poles look like a God at drafting

Don't you feel so much better about yourself when you get to argue with people equivalent to your own meatball reality? You know that reality where you believe Jared Goff is a great QB.

We know the biggest areas of need were the oline and the dline.

They were both addressed. We'll see how it turned out.

I think one of Ben Johnson's biggest areas of concerns was getting the oline righted. When BJ talked about his interview with Poles he mentioned, I am paraphrasing, "I told him what he needed to do" to make the Bears competitive. Fairly certain based on the offseason FA activity it was the oline.

Having a better oline should allow the QB to operate at a higher level along with the running game. It all feeds off each other.

 

[BearDown104]

I love our WR's, but ranking them over JJ and Addison is silly. Hell, JJ alone puts Minny at 1.
