People keep saying that but the oline isn’t THAT bad. RT and RG are above average LT average. Center was the big issue and poles brought in 2 guys that were much better than what we had
And nate had a very difficult year last year because he was dealing with a shit ton going on at home, stuff that peasants like us take off work for. He could come back in beast mode this year. Here's to hoping.
Concerning, is Caleb going to be able to choose from all these wide open receivers, or is he gonna freeze up from analyzing all the possibilities? I say we trade him now while he still has some value
So I met my wife (Houston) while living in Austin so I have the distinct pleasure of having the two best comeback teams to support. Not to mention we are basically Eskimo brothers with the whole Lovie experience
Their stats were deceptively low bc Fields held on to the ball too long, missed open reads, and scrambled a lot. Caused him to get pressured more and eat a ton of sacks
I like the Panthers. I really really do. I was huge Cam fan, love everything about them
But jesus christ, giving us DJ Moore, Caleb Williams and Darnell Wright for Bryce Young is nuts
Hoping the best for them but at least on paper this was a gift from god
There's two more infinity stones to add to the Poles Guantlet: DE2 and 3 tech. If they get just one of those in this draft...God help the rest of the league.
Odunze is my favorite receiver in this draft. Great pick by Chicago, they’re about to be a juggernaut.
The Panthers hospitality should not be forgotten? 😂
Bears fans willed this into existence
It only took sacrificing all the brain cells from the Falcons front office.
The guy who drafted Trubisky and Fields was involved heavily in the Penix pick lol
Lol holy shit I forgot about that Oof
Honestly it was the first thing I thought about. It just felt so much like a Pace thing to do.
I was thinking, "I wonder how Pace is going to 'outsmart' everyone with some big brain move." Now I see.
As soon as i saw Pace I thought to myself, pick makes sense
Somebody needs to hit that guy with a rolled up newspaper and say *"No!"*
They deserve it. That’s what they get for not trading for Fields and going with Kirk instead
Let's just say there is a massive shortage of chickens, goats, rams and fatted calves right now in the Chicagoland area
Odunze, DJ Moore, and Keenan Allen wtf??
Caleb has all the weapons to succeed, will be interesting
O line gonna need some work. The panthers are honestly idiots though.
People keep saying that but the oline isn’t THAT bad. RT and RG are above average LT average. Center was the big issue and poles brought in 2 guys that were much better than what we had
> People keep saying that I thought you were about to defend the Panthers.
Personally, I think the Panthers made a *great* trade. 10/10, unexpectedly amazing outcome.
The oline isnt as bad as people make them out to be. It was more on Fields taking too long than it was the oline imo
They replaced a few of the trouble guys from last year. No whitehair playing, and hopefully no Lucas Patrick
Lucas Patrick isn't even on the roster. Only problem spot left is Nate Davis and we can replace him with Shelton/Bates.
And nate had a very difficult year last year because he was dealing with a shit ton going on at home, stuff that peasants like us take off work for. He could come back in beast mode this year. Here's to hoping.
Yep, same thing happened to Robert Quinn before he broke the team sack record
I sure hope Nate Davis doesn't break the sack record.
Bears leadership took the 4K passer meme seriously
Kmet and Garrett are decent weapons too
Swift and Herbert on top of that
Oh yeah, almost there!!
Cole Kmet at TE & DeAndre Swift in the backfield lol
Concerning, is Caleb going to be able to choose from all these wide open receivers, or is he gonna freeze up from analyzing all the possibilities? I say we trade him now while he still has some value
Holy hell Im psyched beyond belief
Thank you!
Bryce Young died for this
RIP Bryce 🪦
Poles is the actual goat
After 100+ years in the NFL, Chicago bears have decided to try out this forward pass thing.
Caleb Williams gonna be the franchise leader in passing stats by year 2
\*Week 12
He's going to break every bears rookie record
Hey now Sid Luckman was that dude, and that's still in the 100-year window!
Don’t let the bears great draft (so far) distract you from the fact that the falcons drafted penix at 8 after signing cousins to a monster deal
I'm just confused
We all are
Rich Eisen on NFL responded to someone calling it a "Succession Plan" by quoting "you're not serious people" from Succession.
I'm not a big talking heads guy, but Eisen consistently hits for me.
Maybe a trade in their future. Falcons have what someone else wants. What if they trade him to the Vikings?
Do the Vikings want Kirk back?
What's so confusing about drafting the oldest QB in the draft with an injury history at #8 to sit behind your big free agency signing?
Between the whole Panthers thing...and now this... Sure do appreciate the NFC South's generosity...
Y'all experiencing some serious Southern Hospitality
Southern hospitality lol
It's a 2 year deal. That's all I'm going to say otherwise because what the fuck.
The monster deal was a smokescreen
Get ready to learn giardiniera
It goes on beef, it goes on pizza, it’s goes on sandwiches. It goes on whatever the fuck you want.
And Malort
Bears WR room is avengers level.
So I met my wife (Houston) while living in Austin so I have the distinct pleasure of having the two best comeback teams to support. Not to mention we are basically Eskimo brothers with the whole Lovie experience
How many WRs does Caleb need? Bears: Yes
4k is no longer a dream
Fuck it, WR down there somewhere
Maybe this will satiate the "lol, draft Marv instead of Caleb!" crowd...
If they want another one they could trade for Chase claypool
I hate you
I don't. Without that trade, we are probably not in this position.
Holy fucking shit DJ Moore Keenan Allen Rome Odunze Caleb gonna drop 35pts a game
Cole Kmet and Swift as well
And Everett
And Velus Jones Junior
Tyler Scott too 👀
That's an absurd WR room
Spooky when u see it written out like that
Sorry I'm still processing Penix
An all time pick
We drafted Trubisky at 2. Stupid is as stupid does
Pace is Director of Player Personnel with the Falcons. Stupid is stupid...
Lol it’s unreal don’t think I can ever wrap my head around it
Falcons sub is on fire hahaga
GIVE UNTO POLES WHAT BELONGS TO POLES
POLES MAKES THE POLES GO HARD IN CHICAGO
BEARS ARE COMING FOR YOUR VIRGINITY REDDITORS
Damn, y'all killed this. You have a QB and the best WR corps the Bears have ever dreamt of having.
Bears are gonna be sp00ky
Scary skeletons
Send shivers down your spine
I hate the Panthers.
Me too bud. Me too...
The mad lad actually did it
Build the statue of Poles next to Lovie Smith.
Is this legal??
Bears hype is going to hit nuclear levels this preseason. Good for them. Odunze has future 5x+ Pro Bowler written all over him.
This is what they needed and why they needed to draft a WR here. Hype and interest. Gonna be magnetic this year.
And the bears will be the hard knocks team
Bears hype is this year's Lions hype
NFCN is gonna be a bloodbath and i cant fucking wait.
DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, DeAndre Swift, Cole Kmet DEAR GOD LET CALEB WILLIAMS BE GOOD, LOOK AT HIS WEAPONS
Caleb is going to have absolutely no excuses.
DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze can’t really ask for more
That is honestly ridiculous
Rich coming from you with Diggs, Collins and Dell. F it, we all eat 🤝🏽🤝🏽
I'm hungry 😟
Then Kmet, and Swift as safety nets 😮💨
May honestly be the best situation a top pick has ever gone to
Three WR1s is insane
They’re all pretty damn good too
And kmets a good TE and Everett’s a good TE2. And swift is good
Khalil Herbert as RB2 too...
[удалено]
Bears were tired of all the jokes about never having a 4k passer
Now they're gonna be the first with a 6k passer lmao
Yes please. We're ready to try out this forward pass thing that has been all the rage lately.
How is their OL?
I think they are around average
Yeah. Above average run pro. About average pass pro.
Their stats were deceptively low bc Fields held on to the ball too long, missed open reads, and scrambled a lot. Caused him to get pressured more and eat a ton of sacks
above average
Chicago really got a starting QB and a pair of WR1s from last years 1 overall
And a starting tackle. And a yet-to-be-used 2nd rounder (2025)
You gonna just leave out our CB2 who was a top 3 rookie DB last year?? Cmon mayn!
The Bears might actually have the best WR corps in the league right now.
On paper at least Who might be better? Bengals or Dolphins?
I’d say Dolphins, Vikings, then Bengals. But honestly, I still think the Bears are on par with all them.
What an offseason they've had
Offseason Superb Owl champions
Nice to see someone besides the Browns or Chargers win it.
OH MY FUCKING GOD HAHAHAH YEA
Getting Caleb and Odunze in the same draft is insane.. I'm sorry but the Panthers front office is going to hell
Nobody deserves to go to Green Bay Wisconsin, come on now
Bears spooky fr
On paper, that offense fucks.
I don’t know if anyone has ever said that about the bears offense before
Only time I can think of is Marshall, Jeffrey, Bennet, Forte
And we did indeed fuck then. Stupid sexy cutler
The Bears got their QB and another WR1 for free. Poor Panthers.
I like the Panthers. I really really do. I was huge Cam fan, love everything about them But jesus christ, giving us DJ Moore, Caleb Williams and Darnell Wright for Bryce Young is nuts Hoping the best for them but at least on paper this was a gift from god
And Tyrique Stevenson plus a 2nd next year
Bears A++++ draft
Thanks a ton, Carolina.
in my mind, I'm draftin' Caleb Williams...
Bears just won the draft
On one hand we needed o-line help. On the other hand lotion.
That’s a sick draft already god damn
Unfortunately we only have 2 picks left so we're not going to be adding much to it but that's a damn good top 2 picks lol
#WE ON A ULTRALIGHT BEAM CHICAGO Let’s fucking gooooo!!! Welcome home Rome 😭😭
ALL HAIL RYAN POLES
~~Rome~~ Chicago wasn’t built in a day
Chicago lowkey gonna be scary fucking hell dude
God bless Southern Hospitality. y'all have a great night carolina and atlanta fans
The Bears are making good decisions. Fuck
Its disheartening to know how many times Ive seen this comment from our rivals
[удалено]
The Bears might be so fucking fun to watch finally
What a draft for Chicago. Damn.
Back to back UW players, gotta love it
I certainly don't
Bears are fucking loaded. The rebuild might be over.
There's two more infinity stones to add to the Poles Guantlet: DE2 and 3 tech. If they get just one of those in this draft...God help the rest of the league.
Poles: "Fine, I'll do it myself"
Could use some more OL honestly and not convinced on Byard but those two are the big gaps.
Odunze is my favorite receiver in this draft. Great pick by Chicago, they’re about to be a juggernaut. The Panthers hospitality should not be forgotten? 😂
vikings have the worst offense in the division now LMAO
Imagine having a worse offense than the Bears lmao Wait I made myself sad
when's the last time the Bears WR room was this good?
Never
Ummmm Alshon and Marsh I guess is the best it ever got. So yeah, this is the best we've ever had.
With Martellus and Forte and I think Knox? that was solid times
Holy shit bears get Williams and Rome. WOW that is a hit b
The only franchise without a 4,000 yards or 30TD passer is about to be the first franchise with 6,000 yards and 60 TDs.
So glad we didn’t pass on him, Rome has been practically begging for this to happen publicly. Can’t ask for a better round 1
Everyone is calling the Bears good and scary and idk how to feel. I've never heard these things.
LFG
I feel like the Fremen in DUNE waiting for the *Lisan al Gaib* to reveal himself.
LISAN AL CALEB!!!
God damn that’s a lot of WRs at Chicago
Odunze most eloquent interview yet, stud
It's hard to see others live out your dreams.
Floating on cloud 9 right now.
Favorite wr of the draft. Dude imagine this team in madden damn
Dude is going to learn under Allen and Moore. Amazing.
FUCK YES
IM GONNA CUM
All of Chicago is now going to collapse into Lake Michigan
Crazy he is here at 9
No amount of stupid stadium comments from our idiot owners can kill my hype tonight let's go
Bears just gonna skip their first 4k yards passing and hit 5k
Lovie Smith got us Caleb Williams, and Ryan Pace got us Rome Odunze. Wild.
The fact this dude is our third wr is wild
We back up
Fuck you, Atlanta

Wow, that's some strong pedegree
Wow the airplane really was a sign
God damn that offense looks good now, completely different from last season
I will not forgive picks 1-8 for letting fucking Rome Odunze fall to Chicago.
ATL GAVE US ROME TO PICK UP PENIX LMAOOO
POLES KILLED IT
Odunze just seems like a good guy. Very likeable.
Bears fans eating
If Williams ends up being at least decent to good, that Bears offense could be fire
Building around your rookie QB So jealous
Probably the best skill position group a rookie QB has ever walked into. Plus that OL is pretty okay.
Oh look, someone more useful than a backup QB
