Seriously - I think all of our sacks came from the left side today. They need to get their strategy locked in before FA so they can either grab a tackle/guard or both in FA - if you're going QB with the first pick of course. If they decide LT is the pick and they wanna let Howell/FA retread/2-4th round pick duke it out so be it. One way or another we need at least 1-3 o-line starters in FA.

Well, there are other options to address the OL. Supposed to be a very strong FA class.

As long as we address OL in a major way, than I am good with other thoughts. But we won't know that till March, for now OL and QB need to be a priority, along with a DC that has a clue.

I think bears stick with fields or trade out

It is? says who? Not what I have heard. Very strong draft class at OL, strong FA class at Edge rusher. FA OL are always over priced due to demand and not many good ones are allowed to hit FA. There are said to be starting quality OTs going to be available in the second round, not Pro Bowlers, so if you go QB in the 1st then one or two OL in the second, or package for trade up, would seem to be the better plan

So don't take the best football player in the draft...?

Honestly, if they take a LT, QB, or Marvin Harrison Jr. I'm going to be happy. Nothing beyond that makes sense - unless they trade out.

IMO I'd rather have Harrison at number 2 than a LT. LT can be addressed in round 2.

I’d be really surprised if they stick with Fields. 3 years and 38 starts is enough to know he was a bust. He had another in a string of bad games to finish the season

probably so, they could think adding harrison then pairing with DJ may boost fields

Didn't you mean AND trade out? If they stuck with Fields (and I doubt they do when they have 1st overall) why would they pick a non-QB with the 1st when they know someone will pay a kings ransom for the #1?

To get a true #1 receiver for their QB in Marvin Harrison, Jr? I wouldn't do that but I would be grateful if they would and give us the first choice of all the QB's in the draft.

to be fair KI and anon I was 10 coors light in on that comment; i am pretty sure i didn't know what i meant

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

I can't see the Bears being sold enough on Fields to pass up on Williams. Fields is decent trade bait too. But yeah, if the Bears think Fields is the man, I guess they could go with Harrison, though I'd say its more likely they'd trade down to maximise value. Trade with us (doubtful we trade out of #2) or Pats (to guarantee their new QB), and they could still get Harrison @ #3 plus have more picks to spare. They are after all missing the 2nd round pick they gave us.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

since we are on the subject; on sundays i do all my errands listen to a game on the xm radio in the car get home watch late game and enjoy beers etc...

the WORST I mean the worst is Monday morning starting back to work early starting the car up and blaring over the car speakers is the XM channel with the game you last listen too and its that annoying voice just saying "CATCH ALL THE NFL ACTION...." or some shit; its so fucking loud

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

To me, this is simple:

Either Maye or Williams (in that order).

No trade-downs, no nonsense. Get one or the other. Don't over-think it.

Edit: I would also not take Penix anywhere in the first round. Massive injury concerns, particularly the shoulder.
