Chicago Bears: Mocking The Mock Offseason Week 2
Week #2 of our new segment this offseason where I take the experts mock drafts and give my own research, thoughts, and analysis on how I would feel about those players being mocked to the Bears. These are quick thoughts and not full individual breakdowns.
This week the Bears had mocked to them:
Cashius Howell
CJ Allen
Caleb Banks
Dillon Thieneman
Anthony Hill Jr
Akheem Mesidor
Derrick Moore
TJ Parker
Peter Woods
Kayden McDonald

Good timing!! Bang!! š
BANKS!! NOOOOOOoooooo!!!!
Warming up to Thieneman, but a) he'd have to last until the 2nd round (not a first round value for us) and b) would need to ensure we have answers at both NT and 3T first.
Come on, McDonald!
Bears should take akeem mesidor at 25 and lee hunter in the 2nd round
Packers donāt have a first round pick bud what are we talking about lmao
We couldnāt stop the run a safety in the first round no thanks
Mcdonald OSU!!!
I heard Medford is not coming out
Mesidor is TOOOOO old
Iām loving the fact that DT is in the lead by a wide margin. The only LB Iād be ok taking is Sonny Styles depending on who else is on the board. Iāve had a bad feeling Dillion was going to skyrocket up the boards. To be honest, I didnāt think it was going to be this soon. Iāve been mocking McDonald/Banks 1.25and Lee Hunter 2.57 recently. Before free agency we need at least 2 more. Why not? Learn from Grady and Dexter, and really light a fire under Dexterās š« to show him the time is now or you wonāt be here in ā27. Like you said, we will have better understanding come mid March, and see who rises/ falls from pro days and combine. Great video Adam
The dream of Teair Tart and Kadyn McDonald died today. Although Iām fine with not paying Tart over 12 million a year.
As always, very good and very fair analysis! Bear Down Baby
Keep up the great work! Very analytical and sound evaluation. Defensive line shall be our major priority!
Supposedly Dillon T runs a 4.35 in the 40.
I wouldn't draft Dillon in the 1st but would do what you said about trading up in the 2nd round to get him.
I hope the Bears can draft Jacob Rodriguez to play LB in late 3rd or 4th.
Hey Jalon Kilgore from South Carolina, gamecocks is one of my favorite safety. Not a first round talent but he used all over the place.
There's no way the packers can take McDonald before the bears, cause the dumb ass packers do not have a first Rd pick this year, I think it will be McDonald at 25 overall for the bears.
Enjoying the draft content, think my A1 pick in the 1st is Akheem Mesidor think he could be a real impact player and the age shouldn't be a concern for us with our window opening, that is a risk we could take.
Also think linebacker should be a way bigger priority, maybe not round one but with edmunds likely gone and Edwards coming back off a major injury especially with his age i do not like Demarco Jackson as our main man. Played good for us when he filled in but i would not feel comfortable at all going into week 1 in that scenario. think if we get a good linebacker and sure up the edge the defensive tackle issue won't be as bad as it seems. Plus, feel like you can get a big run stuffer in free agency most years if need be on relatively cheap compared to other positions. Depends on how the board falls but i wouldn't be upset if we went away from DT round one.
The Bears should genuinely trade out of the first round with the Jets or Chiefs.
Also I watched some full game footage of Kayden Macdonald⦠Im not seeing what everyone else is seeing. We need someone who can take on double teams and WIN. He gets completely take out of plays if heās doubled most of the time. The best at standing ground against doubles is Domonique Orange and the best at truly winning against doubles is Lee Hunter. (Based on the Bears picks in the first 3rounds)
Great Adam thank you. There is a lot to get from your reactions to what and why you respond. Very informative.
Iām not certain if i have this right but i think the Peckers traded their number 1 to Dallas.
Iām more inclined to stay inside run stopping tackle. Iām more concerned about the best QBās having a full menu of options which include bleeding us to death with the run game. Tackling on our Defense was suspect through the whole season. Also making 3rd downs longer gets help from stopping RBās on first or second down with no gain.
The other issue is speed and size with the Edges that are mocked to us. 6ā5 270 seems to be more of Poles and DAās prototype edges. They may reach for the Edge from Cincinnati the more i think about it. Or leave it for 3rd or 4th round and get aggressive with Oline and Dline if they get guys who fit their ideology.
But also, if somebody falls because everybody is grabbing the same 10 or 12 guys, iām always good with one of the top two DBās or LBās or even a game breaker at another position if there is a first day starter that has all pro capability. Itās how we got Luther.
Trade DJ Moore and certain picks to the Raiders for pick 36 mock draft:
Pick 31: Caleb Banks DT Florida
Pick 36: Anthony Hill Jr. LB Texas
Pick 57: Lee Hunter DT Texas Tech
Pick 63: Cashius Howell EDGE Texas A&M
Pick 129: Nicholas Singleton RB Penn State
We traded down from pick 25 to pick 31 and 63 from a rare trade offer given to us during the time of the pick.
We resigned most of our productive free agents and made some new team friendly deals with unproductive ones. We wound up resigning Braxton Jones to a 1 year prove it deal. We couldn't add any all pro EDGEs outside of the draft as we're still dealing with the salary cap problem from overpaying on current contracts and resigning new ones that joined the team this year.
The bad and good about Mesidor is that he's 25, so he might be a one contract pick (5 years).
One Edge I really like is Zion Young.
Big knock on Mesidor is his age. He'll be 25 years old by the time the draft occurs (born April 5, 2001).
Did a mock where I accepted a couple trade backs. No way this would happen in real life, but I can dream. First five picks I got Akheem Mesidor at 40, Lee Hunter at 57, AJ Haulcy at 74, Harold Perkins at 98, and Austin Barber at 129.
I thought the Packers traded their first round pick? Why did you say they pick before the Bears?
where's the LT mock š
Woods would wreck havocā¦. We wonāt get close but heād be amazing. I think Banks is more realistic
No to any Clemson D linemen
Hyped great stuff š
All the way to the draft. š»ā¬ and FGB
Banks, McDonald, Woods, or Mesidor would all be great picks for the Bears. Thanks for tracking the mocks.
I like Mesidor but he had injury issues in the past and he is older than Gervon Dexter, turning 25 before the draft. As for Moore not in the first… maybe in the 3rd, I like Parker more.
If the Bears can get Peter Woods or Kayden McDonalds I would love, it.
Will you be streaming while the combine is on ?
Best player available if a special LT, LB, S, DT, or DE
Caucasian defensive back š©in round 1 , very hard pass . As they say in the nfl inner circles – you need brothers to cover brothers !!!!!! Donāt over think it
They need to fill the OT position either internally or thur FAgenc . Otherwise LT is on the table.
