Pretty sure this is also the guy who has the packers taking will johnson and darius alexander in the 2nd.

If the bears draft a fucking tight end at #10 and the packers get the best corner in the draft ima fuckin riot

I like dane but his lists are wrong often. He didnt even have lapoopa in his top 5 tight ends in 2023. There is a very good chance warren is not the best TE in this draft, maybe not even 2nd best.

That draft is actually really good outside of Warren at 10. People better get ready for Warren at 10 because it's a real possibility

Terrible pick if it happens

He better be the next Gronk if you're taking him there, particularly in a draft loaded with tight ends when you already have a good tight end on the roster.

But does Henderson make it to #39 and Ersery make it to #41 and Sawyer make it to #72 is the questions? Maybe Ersery makes it to #41.

I like how he and McShay have the exact same 3 top picks for the Bears...

I actually do like the 2nd round picks, but I think the media is way too high on the TEs. I've settled on liking Loveland more, and more at like pick 20, if at all. I'm pretty out on TE at 10. If they pick him, great... I'll hope he's awesome. But, he pretty much needs to be a lock for top 3 or 5 TE in the league for years for me to be happy with it. One thing, Warren's stats look great cause Penn St. really schemed for him cause they had less weapons. Loveland didn't have that at all, so there would appear to be way more untapped potential.

Will Johnson is really good but he has major injury concerns. He only completed one full season at Michigan.

I'm here to like any positive comment on my guys from Ann Arbor!

Loveland is a really good prospect. I don't like the idea of drafting a TE in the first round, but with a little trade down to pick up an extra top-100 pick, I'll not complain.

I’m actually higher than consensus on Grant and Johnson. Unfortunately, I think neither are on the Bears radar. I like Loveland and Mason too, but hard to be higher than consensus on them. Loveland more so cause I’d have to penalize for positional value, but that’s everyone’s own personal thing.

Actually, I think Grant was properly placed before the combine, where I was seeing him projected as an early 2nd. I've been seeing others talk about him as a 1st rounder, and I think that's too rich for my blood. He's a good, solid role player, so someone could take him at like 29 or 30 to fill a need, but that ain't me.

I love Grant a lot... maybe I'm an idiot, but I'd not bat an eye if we took him at 10. I get that people would call it a reach, but I don't think the Bears would regret him and he's going to probably be on someone's team for the next decade.

The media is in love with the whole “Ben Johnson did this in Detroit“ thing where they mock us with Warren or Jeanty to mirror LaPorta and Gibbs. Maybe they’ll be proven correct. Who knows? And maybe they go that direction and the guy ends up being an all pro. But I doubt a lot of these draft gurus actually follow the Bears like a real fan and have a deep knowledge of the deficiencies. I doubt these guys really understand how bad we sucked at stopping the run last year. Rarely do these mocks acknowledge that. This guy doesn’t.

If Warren is the guy I’ll give Johnson and Poles the benefit of the doubt. I’ll let it play out. I’ll get on board. But it would make me really nervous. I’m annoyed that we’ve gotten off what the focus should be. (DL/OL) Ultimately all that matters is what Poles and Johnson want. I hope Poles doesn’t forget the constant gashing his DL took last year and it shows with his early picks.
