NFL Mock Draft season is here, and Pat & Courtney dive into the latest projections for the Chicago Bears. What direction should Ryan Poles take in Round 1 — and beyond?

The crew reacts to Field Yates’ mock draft, which has the Bears landing an exciting defensive prospect, and breaks down whether that’s the right move. They also discuss Jacob Rodriguez as a potential linebacker fit, where his value lies, and whether Chicago could look to add a running back in the late 2nd round.

Plus — expectations are rising for new addition Coby Bryant, who may be relied upon as a leader and potential Pro Bowl-caliber player in this defense.

  5. Where to begin? Mock drafts are useless. EVERY player is a project. Abdul Carter was avg. last season and he was considered the greatest thing since sliced bread. Bears can hope for a plug in player but there isn't a guarantee, never is in the draft. I don't care if they were drafting top 5. None of the players area guaranteed pro bowler. They can find a pro bowler with the 6th pick in the draft. Happens all the time. To end, got nothing from this video. Same ole same ole.

  13. I think Tyreek Stevenson is that hybrid piece that you were talking about Courtney. He can play cornerback and he can play safety. He did both in college.

  17. It makes no sense for poles to take Zion at 25 or at all, just because he's a DA type. I mean didn't he get caught DWI in December? I thought poles was all about character! Besides why would you take Zion if TJ Parker, McDonald or Peter Woods are here, taking Zion at 25 would be stupid and a reach for sure.

  19. I think one of the big reasons they went to the Alabama Pro day was to look at Justin Jefferson. He’s a super fast LB that hasn’t gotten a lot of buzz (outside of Chris Simms recently). He’ll probably be there when we pick late in the 3rd. Then you can take your DT, Edge and Safety with your first 3.

  20. Coby Bryant can't cover anyone in man coverage he's a zone safety/outside zone corner. None of what Courtney says aligns with the players they are selecting which means DA don't know what the hell he's doing. DA sucked last year and the defense is probably going to suck again this year!

  22. I'm not crazy about Zion Young honestly he's almost a carbon copy of Montez Sweat. I don't like drafting projects with 1st rd pks. Then draft Malachi Lawrence. You're better off with Peter Woods or Christen Miller guys who can collapse the pocket. You're probably better off doubling up at DT. Then draft Tredan Stukes or AJ Haulcy at SS, C Hetch at 89. Caleb Elarms-Orr or Lorenzo Styles. WR & RB with 7th rd pks.
