Adam, in the legions of Bears channels on UA-cam, love the true in depth, cap space, draft, etc analysis. Congrats on increasing the subscribers. Bear down!
Lovin the content on all the possible prospects, I really like your analysis of all the guys. This offseason is going to feel so long until we can finally see these boys in action
This team is not as talented as some would have us believe… I love trading down because we need talent everywhere and this draft is loaded in rounds 2,3 and 4
I agree, but you need to find a partner and it seems like other teams see it the same way. Got to hope a team really values a QB or a skill position player rises. Like a Luther Burden or Ty Warren.
I think Poles was getting too cute trying to fix the lines. Finding “hidden gems” and other teams castaways. Well, now it’s time to invest real capital in the positions and this is the year to do it.
My 3 round mock. I traded back with Pitt who offered #21, 52, & 83 for #10. At #21 I picked Walter Nolen DT, at #39 Wyatt Milum OT/OG, I traded #41 for #45 & #116, at #45 Donovan Jackson OG, #52 Jack Swayer ED, #72 Dylan Sampson RB, #83 Grey Zabel.
Trading would let us get extra 2nd and 3rd and especially 5,6,7 rounds picks their is some quality players in those rounds that all need to couched up to unlock their potential More opportunity players like Poles like too call them We need to hit in first part of draft and develop the second part of draft for swing players and backup players so we develop through the draft Instead of trying to get players through free agency
I can’t get on board with the Tez Johnson pick. He will always look great in one on one drills, but when you get to 11 on 11 and people can get their hands on him and he doesn’t have the space he will struggle. Guys that small rarely hit. Look at Tank Dell, injured in back to back years. Outliers at that size usually don’t translate
Deone Walker is a DT I take in all my mock drafts. His size alone would occupy OL's and help Montez not get doubled as much. They would have to stop the pressure up the middle which would open up the rest of the line to go get it. Being able to generate pressure with just our d-line is a must!
Jack Kiser is a great linebacker to pickup in the 7th round Teddye Buchanan LB from Purdue is steal in the 7th round Xavier Scott Safety from Illinois is we need to look for in late rounds
I like trading down as long as a true blue chip guy is not there at 10. Mason graham will Johnson Abdul carter etc if they fall to 10 I want them. Otherwise I want to trade down. Drafting a will Campbell there is just not worth it. I would be shocked if zabel was a 3rd round pick. I think there is a chance he could go late 1st round. That versatility is going to inflate his stock so much
Walter Nolen would be the best thing to happen to a Chicago Bears defense since 2005/2006 Tommie Harris. People can rave over the fat guys like Walker all they want, there isn't a DT in this draft anywhere close Nolen. Nolen is Quinnen Williams in the making.
Aren't you worried that he can't move laterally like Omarion Hampton? I won't be shocked at all if Hampton gets drafted first after Jeanty refuses to participate in the combine so people don't get exposed to his weaknesses
Well of course we do, we only have a few O line on contract. We're gonna hit the O line hard in free agency This was just to highlight standout guys from the Senior Bowl 🐻⬇️
Great exercise! Lots of fun content!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Appreciate that, thank you so much!

Trade down in this draft makes sense so long as we get a 2 and/or 3
Plot twist: Ben johnson is able to unlock tyler scott and he ends up being the WR we always wanted
I think he is certainly going to get a shot to do just that. But I definitely think they will acquire competition
Awesome Senior Bowl Draft
Your awesome 🤩
No one crushes the numbers like you do
Good job as always!
Appreciate you! 🐻⬇️

Our lines are shit. In a game dominated by the lines. Poles is a joke. He’s got a lot of work to do.
@ I couldn’t agree more Mr. Dong!!
I think Poles was getting too cute trying to fix the lines. Finding “hidden gems” and other teams castaways. Well, now it’s time to invest real capital in the positions and this is the year to do it.
@ you are so correct my good man!! Excellent point!!
This is a good draft hope a playoff team wants to come up we can get another 2nd round pick
Is the TE from Syracuse Gadsden II at the Senior Bowl?
Tez Johnson looks real good.
I’m wondering if gray zabel is still there at the top of the second. I’d trade up to get him
My 3 round mock. I traded back with Pitt who offered #21, 52, & 83 for #10. At #21 I picked Walter Nolen DT, at #39 Wyatt Milum OT/OG, I traded #41 for #45 & #116, at #45 Donovan Jackson OG, #52 Jack Swayer ED, #72 Dylan Sampson RB, #83 Grey Zabel.
Jay Jah from Minnesota is a great sleeper edge too
I'll have to check him out!
Love me some Deone Walker!! Monster!!!
He's a beast!!
Adam......does Ben Johnson have any say on new scouts? Or is that strictly Poles say who the scouts are?
I would assume most scouts stay in place, but Johnson will have a big say on how and what type of players he wants his roster constructed with
Trading would let us get extra 2nd and 3rd and especially 5,6,7 rounds picks their is some quality players in those rounds that all need to couched up to unlock their potential

Tyler Scott 2.0?
Seeing reports that there are character issues with Nolen. Some teams have reportedly taken him off their board. Any info on this?
I have not seen this
I will have to look into it!
The Bears should wait til the second round to address the O line because there are some killers at the edge who want make it out the 1st rd!
100%
Jalen Johnson Xavier worthy all from Fresno California I watched them play at Central high school my brother is a high school D coordinator .
That is awesome!
I watched JJ when he played at the U of U
Tyler Batty is a sleeper that needs to be coached up he could be a great swing edge
💯
Hit the subscribe button. Let’s get Adam to 10K. 👍🏻
What if Nolan gone at #19 who would you pick??
Tyler Booker 1st
Wyatt Milum
Princely Umanmielen
Deone Walker is this years T’Vondre Sweat
Great comp! I think Walker has even more burst and hustle too though
Deone Walker is a DT I take in all my mock drafts. His size alone would occupy OL's and help Montez not get doubled as much. They would have to stop the pressure up the middle which would open up the rest of the line to go get it. Being able to generate pressure with just our d-line is a must!
He did accomplish one helluva feat that was the best disappearing act for a fat guy through all of 2024.. I'm rollin' with Nolen.
I love this
I would be a huge fan of we landed him
ATTENTION: When Adam hits 10k, he will be giving away a trip for 2 to Vegas. Flight and hotel all covered by the Thy and Smi Podcast!!
I have confirmed with Karl that this is a real thing! Bank on it (thank you Karl)
@Beardownsports @ Thy and Smi Podcast , @ Karl, thank you, sir!! I look forward to potentially winning!!
@@antmas3507 You son of a....
Cooper Kupp went to Eastern Washington.
Love all of it...except #39. I'm hopeful that Mike Green is still there at #39. If he is....he's higher impact than Milum.
Yeah, I think most edges will be gone by 39, probably Green too
(Green does have small hands though 😬)
Great content! But it's the SeniorBowl.
Yeah, misspoke, thanks for watching
Trading down and not getting an offensive lineman of any kind? Why?
I rather pick DL Kenneth Grant Mich over Nolan at #18.. but I do agree attacking DL first then going G & C in the 2nd & 3rd rounds
Jack Kiser is a great linebacker to pickup in the 7th round
Teddye Buchanan LB from Purdue is steal in the 7th round
Xavier Scott Safety from Illinois is we need to look for in late rounds
I really like Jack Kiser and Xavier Scott as well!
Great picks
ECW Reciever is great

Re-sign Shelton, then draft Grey Zabel and Jonah Monheim so they can battle to play Center.
BEAR DOWN

I think even better
I'm really high on Walter Nolan

The bears need a blue chip running back. You need to draft Aston jeanty.
Aren't you worried that he can't move laterally like Omarion Hampton?
I won't be shocked at all if Hampton gets drafted first after Jeanty refuses to participate in the combine so people don't get exposed to his weaknesses
Dude we need ol more
Well of course we do, we only have a few O line on contract. We're gonna hit the O line hard in free agency
This was just to highlight standout guys from the Senior Bowl 🐻⬇️
Devin Neal. Kanas
Jo’Quvious Marks USC
ARE BETTER THEN Travis Etienne
100% they are
