[Cassie Carston] UCLA’s Laiatu Latu met with the Bears. He chose to throw darts during the meeting and almost hit the bullseye. Also added Caleb Williams is the best QB he’s played against. Gave a shoutout to Bo Nix and Michael Penix too.

  1. If Odunze is gone and Latu’s medicals check out I’m on board with drafting him at 9. Most pro-ready edge rusher in the draft for sure

  2. I’m interested to see what he measures in at. UCLA had him listed at 6’5 265 which seems a bit generous.

  3. Saw a mock with Fields/Kiper the other day where both Odunze and Nabers were gone by 9. Will be an interesting decision to see what Poles does.

  4. I know there are people who are paid a lot of money to analyze his medicals, but taking a guy who retired from football due to injury with a top 10 pick is a tough sell.

  9. I truly don’t want the Bears to go edge at 9, especially a guy like Latu with average athleticism and an extremely worrisome injury history.

    Bears need to either (a) go offense with the pick, or (b) trade down and go offense with that pick. The D has had so so much draft and free agency resources poured into it, including our last four 2nds and 3.1 last year. Our goal from here needs 1000% to put Caleb in a position to succeed.

    Given we spent 2.1 on Sweat, do we really need to use both 1.9 & 2.1 on edge rushers? Cmon. Get a solid vet like Clowney, draft a mid round project pass rusher and call it a day.

  10. If healthy he’d be absolutely nasty lined up opposite of Sweat. More and more mock drafts have the 3 top receivers gone by the time we draft at 9 so I’d be okay with taking him or Dallas Turner at that range
