This QB draft is setting up similar to 2017. No one saw Mahomes
as "generational" at the time, a blend of Favre and Cutler, who
would need time observing before he could play. Williams, Maye,
Daniels, McCarthy, Nix, Penix. It is quite likely that the
first one picked will not be the best on from this draft.

This is very interesting to read. Please read and be aware.
Looks like we may have some clarity this week

This is a looong ass article from Peter King. Definitely worth
a bookmark and read. Heck of a career. I never thought of King
as a "throw sh*t at the wall" type, but this blurb stood out...
I suppose the Bears are going to trade the top pick. I know
nothing, but that seems to be the way the wind is
blowing. What I say: The Bears could keep Justin Fields (and
should), and trade the first pick down once or twice, and build
the kind of supporting cast a team needs to contend. Suppose GM
Ryan Poles traded the top pick down one spot to Washington
(which would take Caleb Williams), and got the second pick, a
second-round pick and a 2025 first-round pick in return. Then
suppose Poles traded the second pick to Atlanta at eight, and
the Falcons picked one of the other quarterbacks. In return,
Chicago gets the eighth pick, Atlanta�s second-round pick, and
first- and second-round picks next year. Imagine moving from 1
to 8 and ending up with this draft haul:
The eighth and ninth (their own) overall picks in round one this
year.
Second-round picks from Washington and Atlanta this year.
Three first-round picks and two second-round picks in 2025.
For moving down seven picks in the first round, the Bears could
end up with nine picks in the first two rounds of the next two
drafts. Instant infrastructure.
----------------------------------
Per Rap, Dallas is correct. CW and Daniels will not throw until
their Pro Day. Penix, Nix, and J.J. will throw at the Combine.

Too bad Daniels will just interview. I am interested in seeing
if Maye throws at the Combine. But I still prefer either taking
CW straight up at 1.01 or keeping Fields with a couple trade
downs like King mentioned over drafting Maye at 1.02.

Not terrible:
NO. 1: CALEB WILLIAMS - QUARTERBACK - USC
We�ve written about Williams a lot already. If you haven�t seen
the coverage, check it out here. Simply put, consensus says
Williams is a nearly perfect quarterback prospect. Might be hard
for GM Ryan Poles to pass on the opportunity, no matter what he
thinks of Justin Fields.
TRADE! BEARS SEND NO. 9 AND NO. 111 PICKS TO RAIDERS IN EXCHANGE
FOR NO. 13 AND NO. 44 PICKS.
By the time the Bears are on the clock for their second
first-round pick, there are still many players left on their big
board that they�d be happy to add to the team. So Poles takes
advantage of the opportunity by sliding back a few spots and
adding a second-round pick in the process.
NO. 13: BROCK BOWERS - TIGHT END - GEORGIA
The Bears need a big bodied pass catcher to complement DJ Moore
in the offense. They could use another tight end, too. Bowers
checks both of those boxes. He�s not as well-known for his
blocking, but that doesn�t matter for the Bears� purposes. Cole
Kmet has developed so much in that area, that they can use
Bowers as a monster slot receiver or some additional muscle.
In three seasons, Bowers caught 175 balls for 2,538 yards and 26
touchdowns. He has five rushing touchdowns to his name, too.
Bowers won the John Mackey award in both 2023 and 2022, which
recognizes the best tight end in the nation. He�s the only
player to win the award in back-to-back seasons.
NO. 44: BRALEN TRICE - DEFENSIVE END - WASHINGTON
Trice is a big, strong dude who measures at 6�4�, 274 lbs with a
high motor. The blend of traits alone is enough to tempt the
Bears, who love athletic players with impressive measurables,
but Trice has the production to match the traits. Over the 2022
and 2023 seasons, Trice had 16 sacks and 23.5 TFL. According to
PFF, he led the country in pressures in each of those seasons,
too.
NO. 75: KRIS JENKINS - DEFENSIVE TACKLE - MICHIGAN
That�s not d�j� vu you�re experiencing. Kris Jenkins is the son
of the former Panthers All-Pro defensive tackle with the same
name. The younger Jenkins isn�t quite as big as his dad, but
he�s still a physical specimen and scouts say his athletic
prowess should intrigue NFL teams. The Bears will specifically
love Jenkins� prowess against the run. Draft experts believe
he�s a bit raw, but since Gervon Dexter grew immensely last
year, the Bears can spend a top-100 pick on Jenkins� upside as a
second-wave tackle.
NO. 123: BRENDAN RICE - WIDE RECEIVER - USC
The Bears draft another player with an elite NFL pedigree with
Rice, the son of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice. They also give their
new QB a familiar face from college. Rice joined the Trojans
last season and caught 45 passes for 791 yards and 12
touchdowns. He�s 6�3�, which complements DJ Moore�s 5�11� frame
well. He also played primarily on the outside last season,
giving the Bears a clear second outside receiver to go with
Bowers who can dominate in the middle. Like his dad, Rice was
one of the more sure-handed receivers in college last year, with
just a 4.3% drop rate per PFF.
NO. 143: TYKEE SMITH - SAFETY - GEORGIA
Just a few picks after adding their second Trojan, the Bears add
their second Bulldog. Smith played a bunch in the box at
Georgia, but he�s got the playmaking skills to thrive in the
back of the defense where the Bears will need him since Eddie
Jackson is gone. Smith intercepted four passes last season at
Georgia. Scouts love his physicality and strong tackling, which
are musts for Matt Eberflus as well. We know the Bears love
Senior Bowl standouts, and Smith excelled at the all-important
All-Star game earlier this year, too. He practiced well and had
three PBUs in the game, which led to him earning MVP honors for
his team.

If J.J. is still there, I would demand a future 1 or at the very
least a future 2nd. Better them than the Vikings to get him.
I just can't envision Wonder Boy dropping all the way down to 13
though...

I like this for several reasons but I dont believe we are
getting enough. The main reason I like it is they get Rattler in
the 4th round to develop and they do address many of our obvious
needs
