Are we gonna do the "throw multiple picks at $POSITION" thing with safety that we did with RB, WR, TE, etc?

Bryce Young ended up turning into DJ Moore, Darnell Wright, Tyrique Stevenson, and Caleb Williams.

There's also a 2025 2nd round pick. It really is the gift that keeps on giving.

The safeties are awful in this draft so probably yeah a lot of late round fliers. Now that I have said that they will probably nab one with the second second rounder.

Welp Gutey hit the three spots immediately. Who knows what he will do now given he still has a billion picks and nothing particularly notable to target.

Highest RAS possible at that pick.

Also a kicker maybe.

Could probably use a RB too.

Idk if bears fans can handle the distinct possibility they are going to be playing in a lot of like 35 to 31 games.

And guys. Offense scores those points. Not your defense or special teams. It's ok!!!!! It's allowed in football.

I do not know much about the offensive lineman the Bears drafted, but a really athletic guy who can provide depth at guard and/or tackle and eventually develop into a solid starter at either position sounds good to me.

I like Billings! He was pretty awesome against the run last year. And Dexter was getting better toward the end of last season. But yeah, the lack of a pass rush is probably the biggest weakness on defense if Dexter doesn't keep improving.

If this playing thing doesn't work out finish the Yale degree and Poles should hire him to the front office.
