Can’t see Caleb Williams and DJ Moore leading the Bears to the Super Bowl, no matter who’s the head coach.

That’s a really good breakdown with plausible solutions too. I’m most interested in what we decide to do with Moton this offseason.

Went for leverage at OT in this draft: With contract discussions needed for both Icky and Moton this year, it would help tremendously to add rookie Jones to the mix. If either of the two on our current roster have unreasonable demands, we’ve secured our OL. We need to be grooming Moton’s replacement anyway. Also hope that we just drafted one or two immediate starters at the safety positions.

We certainly botched the handling of Brooks’s rehab and/or his return to play decision. I’m still not giving up on Brooks becoming an important contributor to our team. Unfortunately, I don’t think that happens until 2026.

Sure, they are. Raiders roster is pitiful. They have the best young TE in the game. He’s probably the best TE period. Other than Bowers and Maxx Crosby (28yo at start of next season), what makes their roster special?

Can’t remember, but I almost restarted that mock right then since I agree with you. I like how the rest of it went though. Higgins reminds me if Michael Pittman a bit.

Ked Woolley set the standard. Only way I’d be excited about a DaBaby drop would be if Ked was incorporated.

We’re likely going to bring in more FA help than we’ll lose, so I don’t see compensatory pick factoring in for us this offseason. I also don’t think Diontae will receive a large contract after he was a hot potato all year.

Keep him until the draft, unless you can trade him for a 5th rounder or something, and then release him if we can address the position with a rookie.

I think we all agree we’re happy with the investments at the G positions. Still difficult to look at our WR/TE positions and not wonder what Bryce would look like with elite talents there. Defense was extremely banged up. It’s ugly to look at though which matches the eye test.

If Bryce gets some continuity with Dave over the next few years, I think he can approach his ceiling as a Drew Brees type. Brees got the ball out quick and had elite accuracy. Bryce has that capability. He made great strides this year, and finding his comfort zone is going to enable the fast processing he was known for coming into the NFL. It’s nice to feel like we have a head coach who can get the most out of their players for a change.

So a Ben Johnson led Commanders team likely had Sam Howell throwing to Scary Terry and MHJ or Nabers. I think Johnson would have made that work well, but Commanders fans are happy with Daniels. Let’s see how that looks potentially without KK.

Why? Bryce wasn’t good with him.

Told ya there was someone. Not going to lie, I secretly thought it too. Haha Until you think about how much better Bryce was without him.

Someone somewhere is still thinking they can get him on a bargain deal and it will work for them.

Maybe you and Diontae misplaced them in the same spot?

No team can put up with him.

Right. lol Sad that has to be typed, but fans can lose grip of reality at times.

Keenan Allen said in a recent podcast it’ll be the Bears, LA, or retirement for him.

No. I’m saying it’s clear by looking at him and his lifestyle, he’s not a stranger to hard work. Give him a chance to work on his hands this offseason. I think we’ll be pleased to see his progress. You’re accusing him of not having his priorities in order bc he hunted and squirrel to eat. C’mon man. That’s ridiculous.

One look at XL, and I can assume he’s probably a lot harder worker than you and most others. You don’t get his level of athleticism without working extremely hard. Now, his hands do need some work this offseason. I’m confident he’ll improve them.

In interviews, it seems clear he knows people are laughing at him and his accent. He could ignore it, get offended by it, or laugh along with it. I appreciate that he chooses the latter. Would you choose to be offended?

Struck me as Burns

Just did that in a mock….
