Bears 2024: 5.0 It's Caleb Williams time

If we draft for need there are two EDGE guys in our pick range...Cedrick Johnson of Ole Miss and Mohamed Kamara from Colorado State. Kamara is undersized but he's relentless with a nose for the ball. And he'd be a big help on kickoff and punt coverage.

Kamara doesn't fit the mold. Undersized guy who isn't very athletic. Here's the RAS scores for the EDGE guys. If we go for need and choose to pick an EDGE guy, Cedric Johnson would probably be more of the type.

It is a very special time to be a Bears fan. It just feels like it’s gonna work this time.

For pick 75, I love drafting OL guy with high upside and positional flexibility. I think we need to prioritize OL because of how much we have invested in skill positions. It's great that CW is effective while scrambling, but I don't want him running for his life every snap!

Van Pran is still available. Would be a pretty good pickup. Missouris CB is also available. Not really a need but I think it would be great value

Updated for pick #122. Removed those drafted and all offense prospects, just cause.

[198] Jaylen Harrell, DE, Michigan (PRO)
[75] Austin Booker, DE, Kansas (T30)
[unranked] Dashaun Mallory, DT, Arizona State (PRO)
[106] Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame (LOC)

[unranked] Loren Strickland, S, Ball State (WOR)
[104] Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S, Texas Tech (T30)
[387] Maema Njongmeta, OLB, Wisconsin (COM)
[510] Bryce Gallagher, LB, Northwestern (T30)

Since I see others predict Pritchett CB or Taylor-Demerson S, I'll go with Jaylen Harrell DE at #122......subject to availability.

If we draft for need there are two EDGE guys in our pick range...Cedrick Johnson of Ole Miss and Mohamed Kamara from Colorado State. Kamara is undersized but he's relentless with a nose for the ball. And he'd be a big help on kickoff and punt coverage.

I agree they definitely have a profile they go after, but it's interesting because if you listen to Poles press conference yesterday after the OT was selected, it sounds like they were going to select Trice based off of need until he was picked right before us. So it sounds like they are willing to bend their own rules depending on the player.

Love this. I also love the story he told inn an interview I watched yesterday. Said he was with is dad at a local golf club a few years ago and Flus happened to be there. The kid introduced himself and told Flus he'll be playing for him in a few years. Flus had no idea who the kid was. Awesome story, I hope Kiran finds success.

since i already called my shot on amegadjie, lemme put out into the universe that drafting dadrion taylor-demerson tomorrow would make this pretty close to a perfect draft for me

Rabbit is a good call, he was brought in on a 30 visit which so far has been something everyone of his picks have shared.

Neither does Booker but yet he was brought in for a top 30..


Bears will likely take Kamara or Booker…


If you think our GM only goes off of RAS score then it would be no reason to watch film. Kamara is an animal on film.

If you watched the Colorado vs Colorado St rival game, then you realize how much of a terror Kamara was.

[ThisGuyFawkes]

I REALLY wanted Trice so it was sad to see him go 1 pick before ours. With that said, I'm really happy with Kiran.

[Chicago-Bull-E]

Would love Austin Booker with their last pick. That would be just about a perfect draft.

[PistolP]

I’m hoping for Dorlus and then just sign some stopgap edge depth this year (Yannick, Ogbah)

[Jeffster81]

I LOVE the Kiran Amegadjie pick. I was privately hoping he would make it to the Bears but fear his potential would be too tempting for another team. Glad the Bears got him.

Van Pran or Booker and call it a draft.

[Hold That]

Would love Austin Booker with their last pick. That would be just about a perfect draft.

He’s obviously the target today and I wouldn’t be shocked if we traded up for him.

The Bears top 30 list is telling you whom they are targeting.. I believe he’s the only top 30 that’s available

There goes Dorlus. Atlanta really trying to get some pass rush.

[ThisGuyFawkes]

I think Myles Cole might be our selection but it would require a trade down if we don't want to "reach" for him in the 4th round.

I paused as that as well when I read about it. I think Bralen Trice was a bargain at a mid 3rd round pick, I'd guess that's why they were willing to bend their own rules - if they were going to take Trice.
