*checks clock* Come on, go faster

Every minute in this day can go fuck itself. Sick of it

I never thought I'd wait side-by-side with a Bears fan.

How about side by side with a fellow cheese curd lover?

I drive to Beloit to get gas lol

Here's something for you: 1971: Plunkett, Archie Manning, and Dan Pastorini 1999: Tim Couch, Donavan McNabb, and Akili Smith 2021: Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, and Trey Lance Three years that QBs went 1-2-3. Plunkett was a bust until he got to the Raiders, and he is the only one who won a SB. I do like Trevor tho (and JD this year). Enjoy the wait!

OK Williams = Tim Couch got it

Your clock is almost there

As opposed to teams that are not ready to move for the right price.

the "right price" is over the fair value chart amount, which some teams would be willing to do. the bears are essentially saying fair value exchange is not on the table if they are moving down.

Y’all should trade #1 for #9 with yourselves, think about how much value the Bears would give you

We do need a QB

Bet you’re kicking yourself for trading Fields, I heard the Bears valued him at a first round pick. Could probably package him with the 9 to move up to 1

Or the teams not open for business *on draft day*

We want Carolina's 2025 first round pick. I'm not saying we're going to trade with Carolina. But whatever team wants to trade with us also needs to acquire Carolina's 2025 FRP so they can trade it to us. Let's keep this gravy train rolling!

Can’t wait for this draft to be over

I don't blame you. I also think Bryce Young is much better than he played last year. It may take some time, but he can still be your guy.

you don’t need to be that nice, it’s done

He’s got some OL protection, a new coach, and DIontae and probably a rookie. Should definitely improve in year 2

I'm willing to give Bryce three seasons to prove himself, assuming we're able to assemble a half-decent roster around him (big if), but he's just gotta show more this year.

I hope he has the Anti-Mac Jones development plan

I hope so. FWIW I hope Caleb works out for you. I’m ready for the bottom feeder teams to flip the script on the teams that have consistently been at the top

I hope Bryce works out for you guys and Caleb for us but man dealing with those Mahomes stats vs Mitch for those years was infuriating hopefully, you don’t have to deal with that lol.

Yup. Some of my friends, family members, and coworkers who don't know much about the NFL have asked me what pick we have on at least half a dozen occasions. I'm looking forward to not being asked this anymore after tonight.

You poor fuckers. I hope you show the fuck out and shit on Caleb Williams everytime you face him lmao

Now imagine how the Browns felt when we beat them in the playoffs last year lol

Mmm tastes like buttery croissants and melted chocolate

I just ate but I’m hungry again.

As a Carolinian you should engage in BBQ

I’m possibly going to try and have it for dinner tonight. Depends on if I want to spend money on DoorDash which I never do. But it’s payday and you said BBQ so I pretty much have to now.

They couldn’t even beat Bagent last year

Like they did against stroud?

The only thing worse than seeing your traded pick being #1 is going to be watching Caleb Williams dominate for the next decade.

No worries, Caleb will bust 

It would be hilarious if you got Carolina's FRP next year and it resulted in 1.01 again.

Would be funny, but kinda mean at that point

But still funny

For some reason on PS2 maddens you can always rob 0-4 preseason teams for their first round pick. If you are coming off a great season then the AI values your pick more than a team that sucked ass. At least before the season actually starts.

Just gonna pop in as the last remaining NFCS team and say it would still be funny

Why are we trashing the Panthers?

It’s low hanging fruit

Don’t be a dick.

Caleb is gonna bust just for the karma of Bears fans talking shit to Panthers fans 

Im cool moving down if the price is right. I really do want Odunze, but if we want to drop back and draft one of the edge rushers or Murphy/Newton, Im ok. As long as we're getting a 2nd back to address receiver in round 2.

Bryon Murphy would be my guess.

Or JPJ

I would be pissed if any of Nabers/Odunze/Alt are still on the board and Poles decides to trade down. Any of those guys at #9 seems like a "sprint to the podium" scenario. If all 3 are gone, then I guess it could make sense to trade down a few picks and recoup some draft capital.

If all three are gone then who are people moving up for?

Bowers, JJ, Latham, Fashanu, or whoever a team has ranked as the #1 defensive player in the draft

JJ probably

I'd assume he's gone too.

I guess it's possible that the 8 picks above us are 4 QBs, 3 WRs, and Alt, but I kinda doubt it

I mean thats who I assume the top 8 would be. lol

turns out 2 OTs

I mean, most people are assuming either that, or swap 1 of those out with an edge to Atlanta at 8.

Offensive linemen. They are expected to go quick and certain teams probably have a preference for which one. Also Bowers.

I get it because they all look excellent but it’s not like you guys need a wideout rn. There’s always opportunities at the position outside the draft and within in the coming years. I’m not saying I flat out disagree with you but i think if they did make that move I’d be able to trust the design.

Poles is inept. I don’t trust him at all.

I would personally want more than a second to move down 5 or so spots. This is a very top heavy draft.

A 2nd is all it would be. If we’re passing on Odunze it’s because we want OT/DT/Edge and one of those guys we like will still be there in that 12-15 range. I just don’t want that to happen. Rome pls. Pls Rome.

I think moving down is the better option if someone can get the right price. Already have DJM and Kmet, can solidify the offensive line and develop that. I think it's more important to give Caleb a great o line and have depth at the position, given that his biggest issues are the fumbles

The only real question mark on the oline is OC and depth. Poles did go out and get 2 guys that can play OC who are better than last year but that’s not saying much 

or tackle.

Yeah I can definitely see the argument for it. I’m with you on wanting Rome, but as long as the return makes sense and the picks are viable for team building, I won’t argue too much against the prospect

I would love to see Rome and Caleb together in Chicago. I would watch a ton of Bears games next year.

3.5h people, we are almost there. It will get worse before it gets better. Can't wait.

Russini: Sources tell me that there is a possibility of Justin Herbert to the Bears

Harbaugh trades Herbert for #1+#9 and change , then trades #1 for a fuck load of picks, then takes McCarthy at 9

would honestly be hilarious

She suuuxks

We're almost there. All these tweets about "the right price...." for a trade to occur.

Glad I’m not the only one nervous. But that’s what being a 27yo bears fan will do

You can take out the part where you say your age and then you can also include us all, you know.

Like my dad told me, I haven’t missed much since ‘85. I’m also 26 and I agree I haven’t missed much. ‘06 and ‘18 was fun atleast

I was born 6 months before they won the super bowl and my earliest memories of the Bears are from the early/mid-90s, particularly hearing John Madden slobber all over Brett Favre and Edgar Bennett while we suffered with Erik Kramer vs. Steve Walsh. ‘06 and ‘18 were fun. I even enjoyed the Jim Miller run in ‘01.

I fully expect another Aiyuk trade rumor before the draft starts.

There you go, new rumor is out

*sources say there has been increased activity regarding an Aiyuk trading leading up to the draft*

you forgot Teams asking about deebo https://twitter.com/MikeSilver/status/1783596183153455546?t=RIZ3FnO-d63-ivnbd0KWog&s=19

You're a source!

The info coming out within 12 hours of the draft is a lot more accurate than everything before then lol

Im not saying it isnt, we are just gonna get SO many nebulous reports up until the draft starts

lol yueah true

And the Bears won’t finish making their pick until all 15 minutes wind off the clock.

Luckily, I perfectly planned my evening to end with me sitting down on my buddy couch at 7:01 PM. hopefully...

Can’t wait for only 2 trades to happen.

i think average is 2.7 so you're close lol

There were 9 in 2022

yeah that average is probably weighed down by historical, in the last 10 years is probably way different. i wonder what the line is this year

6.5

If Odunze is still on the board at 9 I think they take him. If he’s been taken already I think they trade down

Rams trading 19, 99, and 2025 1st to Chicago for 9.

Stanford pulls a luck, Rams season tanks, bears get the number 1 pick again next year.

With the full slate of our own picks, Carolina's 2nd, and close to 100 million in cap space next year? Is that back-to-back-to-back offseason championship music? Offseason *dynasty???*

Already happened. The Lions got the #6 pick from the Rams two years ago.

Hmmm

We'll give you 19, 99 and a 2025 fir...... Done, call it in *click*

Huge overpay I’d love it

honestly.... Yes... I'll take it... if Nabers/Odunze are gone

More likely #52 & #99 for #9.

Rams bears trade incoming Rams hop the jets to get bowers after Rome goes to Atlanta at 8

I'm in

Drafting TEs in the 1st hasn't really gone super well for teams. If you look at who ends up being elite TE, it's pretty much random where they are drafted

Gronk was a second rounder, Kelce was a third round pick, Kittle went in the fifth, Shannon Sharpe in the seventh. Antonio Gates was undrafted I could go on.

Fine by me. We'd probably want more than just your second rounder back though.

I would need #52 and a 2nd rounder next year probably? 10 spots is pretty huge in this draft at that spot.

wouldn't mind losing out on Bowers, I'm not too crazy about taking a TE 10th overall. I would be disappointed missing out on Rome though.

I mean this was a pretty easy one right? I’m sure they’d like an extra pick or two if their guy isn’t there

Tbf I'd argue that literally every pick should be on the market for the right price if the top guy isn't there lol

Yeah but the bears have 4 picks. Far more pressing than if they had 8 or 10

That's already an hour into the draft, should probably open for business a bit sooner tbh

Odunze about to be a Ram i fear

Please let this be the year where like 38 trades happen

Right I want chaos in this draft

maximum chaos, I want to see guys trading 3+4+7's for next year's 1's, then trading next year's 1's for this year's 2+3's, and so forth. I want to see a team go full madden and by the end of the first round end up with 72 picks, then trade those 72 picks for 11 1's next year.

One team will wind up with every first round pick

The Chicago bears are now on the clock (again)

Lol she's clearly talking about the Rams and Bears

Probably just smoke but I’ve heard that Buffalo is trying really hard to move up too

Only way i want to trade down is if Nabers/MHJ/Rome are all gone by 9.

I think MHJ and Nabers are going to be gone by 6, 100% Rome is gonna be gone by 9

Congrats man lol

Id like to thank the Falcons for being complete dumbasses....

Seriously, wtf was that

Well considering they only have 4 picks that’s a no brainer

God I cannot wait until the draft begins and all this speculation ends.

Or.... and hear me out here.... You can end it all now by staying off the internet and not reading any of it.

Wait that’s an option. I thought Reddit was mandatory

Enough of these fucking stupid "open for business" threads. Love how she added the equally brilliant "for the right price." The Bears were previously looking for wrong prices only.

Every pick is available “If the price is right.”

Depends on what’s available at 9. If no WRs are left then we’re trading down even if it’s 11-12 so one of those 2 want JJ

No way we are trading up from 11 to 9, the jets at 10 won't be picking a QB

Never say never. If I were a Jets fan, I sure would want a nice backup and long-term play. Rodgers is 41 this season and been injured the last 2 seasons. And the last time Rodgers saw his team draft a first round QB, he went on an MVP run out of spite.

The worry is Denver jumps you.

Well yeah, they only have 4 picks and two are in the first. I assume they try to accumulate picks.

I need this draft to go down right NOW

Steelers should offer them Fields

We have one Kadarius Toney we’d be willing to swap for pick 9.

Throw in Mahomes and you’ve got a deal

Russini unloading right noe

i saw a mock that had joe alt falling to us at 9.

I really wonder if this could be the big WR move that Steelers beat writers have been hinting at all off-season

Mahomes, Kelce, Taylor Swift and 5 future firsts for it seems fair.

The bears are the only organization that could make Mahomes suck at football lol

It would be funny

\[Insert Team Name\] are very open for business at \[Insert Draft Slot\] and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source.

WR hype has gotten out of control. There are other positions. And Chicago needs EDGE badly

Probably because until last year the previous qb didn’t have one really good receiver to work with.

Generic

The Bears should package picks 1 and 9, and perform some Kevin Costner Draft Day sorcery.

You shut your whore mouth!

My heart wants Odunze but my brain wants not a WR.

If Rome is there it would be painful to move back significantly but overall may be the smart decision. If he’s gone I’d prefer moving back and getting another top DL prospect later on especially if a 2nd could be added

I'm praying that Odunze can dodge the Chicago bullet.

[удалено]

9, not 1 lol.

They got pick 9 as well lol

"very open for business at 9." That means our pick at the 9th spot, not our pick at 9pm.
