“[Ben] Johnson isn’t happy with the offensive staff for how they didn’t coach WRs to get open enough. Emphasized getting back to fundamentals in OTAs on catching the ball to address drop issues.”

Would you draft an OT in Round 1? Type ‘Y’ for Yes or ‘N’ for No
I think this coaching staff is smart enough not to bring Ozzy back this year
No video on Chicago lawmakers postponing the vote on a stadium…again?
N
And Caleb wasn’t accurate also in some plays
I hate the idea of drafting a LT at 25. The DL needs some starter ready juice.
yes
No! Defense, Defense, Defense! We have to many holes on the defensive side that need to be filled.
No chance at all of taking a LT in the first three picks. At best, they’ll take a Braxton like swing in the mid rounds
Y
Ro
Yes
Ro
HG what's going on…. Wassup every1 #BearDown
My understanding is that Trupillos injury could be career ending
N. We need to focus on the dline this year.

Its the exact opposite, LT depth is weak in this class. There's a couple of good ones, but they will be gone by 25. DT may not have that "top end talent" but they have lots of depth. We showed last year we can piece together the LT spot thanks to the TE's and our All Pro LG… but that DL struggles something fierce and DA doesn't have the guys he needs to call the defense he likes to call. We didn't see DA's system last year. This offseason has to be about getting him the players he needs. Offense wins games, Defense wins championships.
S -> DE -> DT -> C -> LB -> LT -> CB -> WR -> OG -> RB -> TE -> QB
The Kid out of Alabama at 25 is a Good move
Just draft the best player available, doesn’t matter the position
Ur number one receiver is Loveland anyway 🤷🏾♂️ Rome and Luther are 2 and 3
Y
Luther Burden will be WR1 by midseason
LB3 will be WR1. He had the best hands last season in his rookie year. He's a special talent.
i actually wouldnt be suprised. If they have an opportunity to get a very good prospect you would be solidifying the entire o line for a very long time
N
Odunze has never been a good route runner because he's not a quick twitch athlete and last year we saw that his hands aren't even good. I think he's a number 3 on this team after Loveland and Burden.
Lb
No
If he's there, get him at 25. I like Drew Shelton and Keagan Trost in the later rounds. They both have versatility along the entire line.
If he's healthy, Jedric Wills is a better LT than Proctor because he has better feet and moves better. No way Bears should draft Proctor in first. They need a pass rusher at DE. The only guy who could be a difference maker at 25 would be Mesidor. He is older and has had foot injuries but if he passes the medical he's by far the best choice there. He can also move in to 3-tech on passing downs and is good against the run.
N
Luther is already WR1. He and Loveland are the primary pass catchers now.
Anything we get from Rome is gravy.
Dropped passes and injured most of the season in your 2nd year. Get rid of a veteran that turns up every week.
I don't share your optimism
Yes!
Y
3rd in drops, and when I rewatch some of those plays, there were at least 20% that, for some reason, did not count as a drop. If the LT is there, take him. You can still get DT, ED, and S with those 3 next picks, and there might be room to drop a bit each of those rounds, get more assets, and still get the players you want.
I hope Jahdae is allowed to break out this year!
Luther number one reciever
Y
I’m going to say stay on the D-line this draft, maybe #60 and in the sixth or seventh round grab a running back, it worked out well last season
I thought Rome was suppose to be the #1? Now we're questioning between him and LB3?
The offseason is so depressing so far. Our defense didn't really improve, we let great people walk that didnt even demand huge contracts… Had to fill a center position that was an assumed lock, and now potentially using draft capital on another LT? Stars gotta align to win superbowls, and so far this isn't ideal.
Still love my team, appreciate you HG. Bear Down
