Chicago Bears Refined Full Offseason Mock

[@davess3032]

Let's hope Poles is listening to you!! Thanks again Adam, we all appreciate all you do

[@Beardownsports]

I appreciate that, thanks for watching! 🐻⬇️

[@FrankyBallou]

As usual my man another great video!! Best of all Bears channels!! Thank you for putting your time in on these!!

[@Beardownsports]

Bunny you said that, from the very start someone told me not to put my name, and I said, nah, I want to interact with people and have it be authentic. Glad you're enjoying 🐻⬇️

[@mikeipson1554]

This is much more what I had in mind Kevin Zeitler would be huge in the room because he already knows the offense, and Najee Harris runs with power, which is just what our offense needs. I also like adding some vets to the areas where we're going to be drafting rookies.

[@Beardownsports]

Yeah, not having to bank on the rookies to be impact day 1 is nice. That Vet Prescence is something I think we're lacking as well. Some leaders that can teach and mentor these young guys.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

This would be amazing :) I too am hoping all the top 4 rounds even with 1 or 2 trade backs are ONLY O lineman and D Lineman

[@charlesreedscherm]

I love it!

[@donpearson2076]

I love it! As one note I think Brent Kuithe would be a great addition especially if you get a a blocking TE like Farrell , but I think Kuithe will be drafted probably 6-7th round

[@knowledgeuntamed9177]

Matt Pryor is why Our Kicker isn't getting every kicked blocked tho. They put his 350 and length on the left side where you have to block 3 people and he's done great because his size. You gotta stab with each hand 2 people and take a shot from a 3rd in the chest. Definitely wanna keep him, plus he can start 4 spots. Get him in the weight room with a cheap 2yr deal

[@JohnReid-n7q]

A huge no on signing Harris for 8 M at RB. We already have an 8M $ RB in Swift. I would try and sign Van Roten and Dalton Risner at 3 M each as backup depth on the O-line.

[@Lee-kv1yh]

Love jack sandbourn,he's my favorite bear. I said he would make the team in pre-season his rookie year and he did. He plays hard gotta have that on the team.

[@saberrattler1413]

Really big fan of your FA direction & 5 (1st picks) attacking the trenches!!!

[@Beardownsports]

Let's hope it happens somewhere close to that Thanks for checking it out 🐻⬇️

[@johnbierwaczonek2911]

I like this a lot. Getting those quality FA's takes pressure off the draft and helps on depth. I agree that Poles doing a lot of trade downs is unlikely. This is a great draft and gives us a lot of depth. Bear Down!

[@Beardownsports]

I like this scenario, it's hard to know how things will play out but this one is exciting!

[@jasonb364]

We need o line with the first 3 picks, shore that up once and for all! We will fill the other needs next year.

[@knowledgeuntamed9177]

Get well soon bro 🙏

[@oscarguillen5452]

I love the mid tier FA approach. It gives early round rookies beatable competition, but no pressure to start right away. It almost insures that the depth will be much improved

[@Beardownsports]

Boom! 💣 Oscar gets it! That's what we went for with this one. 🐻⬇️

[@TheBrownGuy12]

I like the Najee pick up! That would be dope!

[@TheBrownGuy12]

I like the Najee pick up! That would be dope! Bring back The Mack!!!

[@brandongeber7767]

Jonas S .. is my target #1! Wytte or don Jackson #2 Think they both guy would be a solid center or guard option

[@TheRealFlash23]

I made a spectacular mock draft for the Bears! I added the best RB in the last couple of drafts and fixed a lot of the trenches with only 2 trade downs for more early picks. Pick #16: Ashton Jeanty RB (got lucky that he was still there) Pick #41: Tyleik Williams DT Pick #42: Wyatt Milum OG Pick #47: Aireontae Ersery OT Pick #95: Jared Wilson OC Pick #107: Jared Ivey EDGE

[@Beardownsports]

I like most of this a lot I can't get behind Jeanty at all. He's completely over hyped and this is a deep RB room. Any RB before the 3rd round is a no go for me

[@TheRealFlash23]

@@Beardownsports Well, I just think Jeanty's overall numbers and grades and ability to break tackles is definitely what the Bears need in the running game. Not some average RB behind an average OL. You can get OL, DL, and WR help in free agency, but don't expect to land an Aaron Jones level RB in FA. Without a high level RB play maker, the Bears will still lack in progress on offense.

[@Beardownsports]

@@TheRealFlash23 Jeanty is almost identical to Rasaad Penny a decade ago. The perfect comp. A great RB but completely over-hyped in the MWC. If you put Jeanty on Alabama or Georgia he wouldn't have done what he did. He should be a fine NFL RB but he's no more special to me than Omarian Hampton or Cam Skattebo

[@bobbillings-m1i]

I love your figures and optimism. We definitely need the Oline and Dline help. I would rather not sign the 34 year Olds at guard and edge but we will have to see what is out there. I don't think the Chiefs can hold on to Smith. Their time to pay the piper is fast approaching.

[@jacksonbritton887]

LOVE YOUR PICKS HOPEFULLY POLES LOOKS AT THESE NOT ONE PLACE WHERE I THINK YOU MESSED UP LOOKS LIKE A SOLID TEAM WITH ROOKIES BEING ABLE TO LEARN BEHIND SOME VETS

[@Beardownsports]

Appreciate it 🐻⬇️

[@kevincoppernoll8028]

This would be a GREAT off-season. Love it with Ben Johnson at the reigns!! Don't screw this Bears brass make the obvious choice for once, PLEASE 🙏

[@dansvoboda6316]

Love Millum in the 2nd rd. But most of the mock’s I’ve seen have him taken in late 1st. Love Princely, but DE is much deeper than DT. Does a DT make more sense there?

[@skylerlee2793]

This is a perfect off seasons

[@CurtisHeisler-c5d]

I like would you did in your last draft where you traded down from 10 to late teens and picked Walter Nolan and got an additional 2nd. You could then trade one of your 3 2nd for a 4th.

[@markDwattssr]

Tuten can run between the tackles well too with that speed and has really good contact balance to run through tackles. He should transition well to the NFL, I like him a lot in the 5th.

[@LawrenceSowa]

He sounds Good 😊

[@knowledgeuntamed9177]

I remember scouting Dexter and telling Swift they have a projected 1st Rd DE next to Dex. Swift was like I don't see it. I was like me neither. 😅 Now this year... Shows you the difference between good coaching. 😂 But i personally can't get over the fact of allll that tape 📼 i watched on Dex he never flashed. Illinois's DE's are better. Believe they are getting 4th Rd grades. That said. What does my coach want? What Front are we gonna install? 4-3 ok Landon Jackson. 3-4? Ok we need a smaller speed guy then.

[@knowledgeuntamed9177]

Ransom in the 4th Rd is a steal. Alot of Safeties in this draft are Very Good, but going to fall.

[@jacksonbritton887]

like the other mock a little more though

[@JoeRizzi-ki5io]

Your sick bro 🤣You need to go to MDA “Mock Drafters Anonymous” ASAP

[@Beardownsports]

Haha yeah I might need a support group, there's only so much you can do.🤣

[@wallybismarck4328]

3rd round, what do you think of Grey Zabel for C/G

[@Beardownsports]

I like him I worry about his level of competition, but his tape is fun to watch against weak competition. He can move

[@terrymcgovern3695]

I really like Jamaree Caldwell in the 6th or 7th. He's going to test fairly well and could develop into a really useful NT. I also really like guard Miles Frazier in the mid rounds. He's totally overlooked because LSU wasn't great and the tackles get the hype there, but he's a potential starter down the road - heck he might even be the 2nd best guard on the Bears today. Also, if you haven't looked into him, look into PSUs Kaytron Allen. He's going to end up a top-125 back - he's basically Cam Skattebo with NFL athleticism - and is exactly what the Bears need to pair with Swift.

[@terrymcgovern3695]

Also, you're SLEEPING on Grey Zabel. iOL #1 for me.

[@alexmachado8842]

I would sign for offense. LT- Alaric Jackson G- Will Fries C- Ryan Kelly TE- Mike Gesicki For Defense. DE- Chase Young or Josh Sweat DT- Javon Kinlaw or DJ Jones For the draft. All the great defensive players are gone by this time. If they arent draft one of them. If they are gone Draft RB-Jeanty at 10 With your two twos and your two threes draft a DE, DT and two Olinemen

[@robhansen6370]

Where exactly are you coming up with these "proprietary" player rankings? You've been pounding the table since September on Tate Ratledge, and now you treat him like he has 27 different venereal diseases. While Armand Membou, who DraftBuzz (one of your go to websites) has him as the #14 Tackle, yet you have him going in the 2nd round? Please dazzle a know-nothing peon like myself with your acumen.

[@Beardownsports]

This one made me laugh out loud. You know I don't hate Ratledge, at all. I've had him in most of my mocks. My spreadsheets baby. I shared them on my individual position videos

[@mike-e3k]

would you draft cam skatteboo if he's available in late rounds?

[@Beardownsports]

Absolutely! If he's available, but there's no way he will be

[@CanadianChiGuy23]

Here are my offseason priorities in order: 1. 2 Top Tier Guards 2. One each of DL/EDGE 3. A power RB (High End) 4. Quality rotation players for both trenches, 2 on each side. 5. A safety of the future (which I am still okay to wait for next year). That being said, I would move just about anything around to go RB in the 3rd Round, even if that means, we have 2 D-linemen and 1 O-lineman selected by then. Hopefully FA would have helped us out by then.

[@gregb2]

I dont think Bears fans realize just how depleted the Bears roster is 2025. This team is far from finished in its rebuild phase! So many holes, and many players in starter spots that should be backups/rotational.

[@Beardownsports]

As Bears fans we have a tendency to overhype our own players. It's not our fault though, we're starving for guys to breakout and be the next guy. We have to put them in that position with good coaching and actual quality depth for once. I'm hopeful we're finally almost there.

[@bobsokoloski9559]

At 72 you should have taken McLaughlin, he's got 3 years starting at Center and your boy from UGA only had 1 year experience at Center. We need a Center more than any other position on the O Line.

[@Beardownsports]

McLaughlin's not a bad option. Definitely not a starter in the NFL, but maybe he can develop. Can't move or run block, but again, there are worse options.

[@bryangilmore5477]

Adam you already know that you're 1 of my favorite content creators, for the majority of your videos you really get me hyped up for next season but unfortunately you lost me on this 1. The oline fillers & replacements are perfectly fine it's the rest that makes little sense to me. Mack is butthurt on poles, he is seriously injury prone, & he literally had 1 good game with the bears no thanks. I do like najee but unfortunately for me that's too much $ for the running backs room & too many mouths to feed imo, the defensive tackle position really needs to be bringing a ton more pressure & be good @ run stuff, your lineup mainly covers the run, lastly i truly hope my opinion isn't harsh on this particular mock because I really enjoy & love love love the work that you do & i realize that we aren't going to agree every single time unfortunately 😂

[@bryangilmore5477]

I guess my favorite word on that post was unfortunately 😅

[@bryangilmore5477]

I do agree with you that the draft could &/ should be trench focused for the majority of it!!!

[@paulzacsek9772]

Free agents favorites: Malcolm Koonce, Alaric Jackson, Drew Dalman

[@Beardownsports]

Josh Sweat is better Braxton Jones is better Coleman Shelton is better 🐻⬇️

[@paulzacsek9772]

@Beardownsports sweat is much more expensive. I like Braxton and Shelton. I think Dalman is better than Shelton (and more expensive)

[@Beardownsports]

@@paulzacsek9772 Drew Dalman can't pass pro to save his life. He is a significantly better run blocker, but I think we're trying to save our QB too. Sweat is expensive but we have cap space

[@ahmadabdulla311]

Letting pryor walk n keeping jenkins is crazy

[@Beardownsports]

Jenkins is a top Guard in the league When Pryor doesn't play next to Wright he's a bottom player in the league. Look at how he played at LG and RT. Make this make sense to me?

[@ahmadabdulla311]

@ pryor is one of the best backups we can ask for, especially if ur gonna pay jenkins… best ability is availability.

[@marcledger4561]

Not sure about Najee but everything else seems good. 👍🏼

[@LawrenceSowa]

We Need him

[@steverogers-j3i]

Even if Banks and/or Campbell aren’t elite tackles but become elite Guards, they both are really good at run blocking and pass protecting. Can you see a path with Poles taking one of them, and addressing the DLine in the second round? I was hoping for Princely, Jackson and Sawyer falling to the second round but that doesn’t look to be the case as of late. As for the actual Guards in this draft that could drop(be there in the 2nd round) Donavan Jackson, Booker, Wyatt Milum, Tate Ratledge, Jonah Savanaiinaea. I’m seeing Milum, and Booker being picked up in the 1st more and more. Jackson’s tape when he was playing Guard is actually really impressive. In your humble opinion, if Poles drafts Campbell/ Banks at 10… do you think he doubles down at G in the second or roll the dice and hope Tate Ratledge falls to them in the 3rd? I do see him also triple dipping and drafting Jared Wilson or Jake Majors if they get the comp 3rd pick. Alfred Collins and/or Ryan Mills are great draft picks in the 5th/6th with possibly Thor Griffin as a safety net if they miss on either or. As history shows, GM’s on the hot seat spend $ on edges if free agency more often than not. This year actually has edges that could be had, not to mention the possibility of trading for an elite edge. This isn’t exactly what I want, I can just see it playing out this way. I wouldn’t be mad, spending high 1st round draft picks to protect your franchise QB. What’s your take?

[@Beardownsports]

Yeah, it's a very Poles thing to do, to draft Campbell or Banks in the first round when we already have a LT and there's really good options at Guard in the 2nd round... And the Best edges will be gone by then. A very Poles thing to do

[@kyledabearsfan]

what about Alric Jackson? could be a potential good contract

[@Beardownsports]

More than likely super expensive and we have Braxton on a rookie deal (who played better than Alaric) and we drafted Kiran to develop behind Braxton. I'm not thinking we'd go after a LT in free agency, maybe the draft, but not free agency

[@kyledabearsfan]

@Beardownsports fair enough. Give me my boy Xavier Watts. He's doing us proud! ☘️

[@60bearass]

Here I go again offseason madness! Keep feeding me I need Bear nourishment. Don't count out Austin Booker, Kiran Amegadjie, Ian Wheeler and Ricky Stromberg. Bear down and Beer Down!!!

[@JeffPage-mh1er]

Like everything except getting the old dude from Detroit. Pass on him. Otherwise great stuff. Really like the Draft

[@donherion377]

If it is Ben Johnson we should be able to project what's going to happen since he will want to mirror what he has in Detroit.

[@bobsokoloski9559]

Adam treats the Center position like Poles does. Patch work and other teams cast-offs. I'm over that shit, why were letting Poles pick anyone is beyond me. Well he picked Eberflus, Getsy and Waldron, so I'm sure he can find the right person.

[@Beardownsports]

I took the best free agent center and the best Center in the draft. 🤔

[@kevintmerk]

I’m not in in Harris. I’d rather grab a guy in this deep RB draft.

[@tstevanovich]

PFF has Umanmielen at #35 (you have him at 10), Milum at #16 (you have him at 39), Membou at #126 (you have him at 47), Collins at #62 (you have him at 72), Wilson not going to the draft (you have him at 100), Ransom at #72 (you have him at 114), Tuten at #148 (you have him at 147), Kandra at #129 (you have him at 204). Not sure your draft rankings are matching up where other sites have them valued.

[@Beardownsports]

Wilson isn't getting drafted? He's in the senior bowl and declared. I do my own big board and rankings. I don't rely on databases that are using info from last year, but we'll see as we get closer to the combine (BTW, PFF is always the least accurate for draft rankings this time of year. They'll be more accurate as we get closer to April 25th)

[@terrymcgovern3695]

It's not unusual to have different rankings, especially this year. Look at the wild differences between Dane Brugler, Trevor Sikkema, his co-host Connor Rogers, Field Yates, etc. Brugler has Derrick Harmon 14, PFF has him 79 or something. PFF's board is just one guy (Trevor), and he has only rewatched two positions (QB and RB). I know he wasn't rewatched Edge or OT yet because he said so recently. When he does, maybe Umanmielen will move up 5-10 spots. And look at Membou's PFF numbers, when Trevor rewatches him he's going to be a top-60 player on the big board, if not top 40. I have Ransom even further below Adam, and I have Andrew Mukuba just outside the top 50 which is higher than anywhere else I've seen him. Nick Emmanwori is ranked as high as 15 by some people and as low as 50 by others. On top of that, so much is going to change after the all-star games and athletic testing. There are FCS guys who are going to fly up the board in the next month - like David Walker out of Central Arkansas, who will be a top-100 player after the Senior Bowl but is ranked like 208 on Mockdraftconsensus. No draft ever has a real consensus, but this is by far the weirdest draft I've ever seen when it comes to rankings.

[@Juice-j6e]

I will hurt myself if we sign Najee Harris. He somehow has worse vision than swift, we need someone that can find a hole and hit it hard

[@williamrogers-y2t]

Not sure the Steelers allow Harris out

[@eliasvalles823]

Ben Johnson is going to Jacksonville 😢 kinda hoping I’m wrong but I gotta admit the McCarthy rumor is slowly intriguing me, my initial thoughts have been kingsbury (for Caleb) and a good DC And your spot on with d-line & o-line as our draft focus, DT over DE though, we need to plug the middle and stop the run should give sweat space to do his thang and give our ball hawks opportunity after opportunity Keep up the great work Adam, I’m a numbers guy so this channel is GOLD 💯🐻⬇️

[@adamaldridge5703]

@ says my watching football, he’s a very late first or early to mid second rounder.

[@Beardownsports]

@adamaldridge5703 I played edge. One of the first videos I made last year was about a prospect named Darius Robinson that I said was a fringe 1st rounder/early 2nd rounder. This was in November/December of last year. At that time he was being "mocked" in the 4th-5th round and literally dozens of people told me I was an idiot because he's a "4th-5th rounder" according to their mock draft sites. The Arizona Cardinals selected him 27th overall in the 1st round. Princely Umanmielen is the 3rd best Edge in this class and arguably the 2nd best, only behind Abdul Carter. He will be a 1st rounder, it's just where a team with need at Edge takes him in order. I will not be upset one bit if the Bears take him at #10 overall. 🐻⬇️

Let Tevon & Sanborn (was bullied this year) walk, cut Byard & trade Edmunds (softest LB I've seen in decades) I like the LB from UNLV combined with picking up Greenlaw & Hufuaga on prove it deals. This team needs VIOLENCE, aggressive, relentless, fast players that play angry. I'd use the comp pick & a pick you get for Edmunds to try and move up to get Abdul Carter or Mason. If not take Jalon Walker, much better prospect then Princely. Can beat you from both edges or anywhere on the field, an absolute game wrecking beast. You have Greenlaw, Edwards & Hufonga in the middle with Walker, Sweat, Sweat & Booker attaching you from the Edges, GOOD LUCK! Enough finesse football get some Dogs in here.
