Bears Draft Mailbag & Final Predictions w/ Kevin Fishbain 

Dig the Bald look, Kevin. Its better to be Bald than balding. Take a weakness and make it a strength

Hate to throw cold water, but journalism awards don’t carry the same prestige as they used to. I’m sure he’s grateful for the exposure…

He’s never got his main engine for his D which is 3 tech. Not saying I don’t agree with you I do want O but it’s kinda unfair to hire a guy and never give him his key piece. Like if Lovie never got a LB like Lach for his D it would’ve been awful.

It's Eberflus so it would be Flus and not Fluse

You can NEVER have too much defense... Another edge should round things out nicely.

Yeah I’m tired of flus getting everything he wants on defense and still losing why didn’t we fire the DC if we couldn’t generate a pass rush oh that’s right ownership doesn’t want to pay buyouts

The offense got its QB 2 WRs an OT and OG an OC a TE2 and a RB Just saying

I'll admit I thought it was kinda cool at the time Jarron Gilbert could do that lol

To be honest! That’s impressive! Just not on the field😂 what a waste of of a pick that was

Almost as bad as drafting a player by the crappy car he’s driving.

Agreed. Grab a WR and O-lineman in this draft. Address Edge and D-Tackle in free agency and in next years draft. Priority should be to develop Caleb asap. Defense comes second when you're ready to make a deep playoff push.

Having a short field should help a QB (expect then people yell about their yards per game)

This will blow up in their face. I lived through 60 years of Chicago sports teams. Krause Deroucher Pinella Baker Guillen. Players Cade M, Jim Mac, Perry ( was pitiful how press built and destroyed him shoving burgers in his face,R Monday, Andre,Sosa, Banks Trib ( everybody knew he wasn't good in 1st trng camp,Korbel ( supposed bear saviour) many many more.

I also like Kevin Fishbain better than Benoit Hogue.

IT'S HOGE. NOT hogue.

@@lmacthephoenix whatever. Bring back Olin

@@colonialjim9154 🤣🤣🤣🤣

When has teams built OL thru trades. Bears haven't built a good oline in 35 years yet SB was built thru 83 an 82 drafts (2)and lasted a good 7 years.

Bingo

A boring player who is underwhelming instead of an elite player.

After the million or so draft sims I’ve done, this is basically the blueprint.

The future is fishbain

We can only hope. Hoge is a chore to listen to.

Him and Brian Thomas Jr are gonna be the steals of the draft IMO

Remember when they passed on that one DT at 9 last year?

He’s undersized and played against the same players that made true Wilson look like a top pick. People say Aaron Donald but there’s never been anyone even close to him.

Yes Edge at 12-17 and then WR at 75 and then DT or OG/C at 122

EVERYONE, LISTEN UP! These two know what they’re talking about. 💯

@@dparis2172 im dead 🤣

NOTAKE A STUD AT NINE YOUR LAST CHANCE FOR A WHILE

you didn't see the news?

Bears fans who make being a liberal their entire personality don’t like Urlacher because he’s one of those Maga people.

​@@sean97712Those people should stick to SPORTS journalism. 😅

Because you’re not allowed my have different opinions that are view pretty mild outside of Chicago but radical in Chicago

Cause people are losers

Well, it is Chicago. Shut your mouth, go with everyone else, and don’t look as your city is overrun with people who don’t belong there while a huge percent of the residents struggle with every aspect of life. Your mayor has plans for that publicly owned stadium about to be built.

Time stamp?

Because don't you know kaplan Schrock an Weiderer wannabe GMs along with Hoge &Hood will shut it down. Within 2 years they'll be tearing Poles an CW a new rear end

Priority List: 1) WR 2) Edge 3) DT 4) OG/C 5) OT

HELL NO

REALLY YOU THINK

Agreed. We need to develop Caleb as much as possible and quickly as possible. Grab a WR and O-lineman. Once Caleb is developed and you're ready to make a deep playoff push then focus on D.

Development and Trubisky uttered in the same sentence is some clown level take lmao. Had to turn it off after that

That happens Bears are screwed and will be bottom feeders just like we've been for 12 years ( 2018 smoke an mirrors like 2024 will be)

They'll be bad...they need need 5 drafts to fix that team and that ain't happening with Tepper owning the team. He is like Trump he'll screw up his own org with his narcissistic managerial style

Thought we were getting him to be a qb

Why? Is Caleb going to catch it for him too?

@@ericf1966 he will get more than one target a game for one

@@DJKaBz1 now that lions drop certainly hurt. But this idea that no one ever drops a pass seems like Bears fans who doesn't watch NFL games. Drop passes are way more common than people realize. When you only throw 2 times a half, yeah can't afford them and get magnified.

He'll learn to track the ball because why?

Winning in the NFL is not about your fantasy team. Pass rush matters and is the MOST glaring need for the bears. It’s a very reasonable pick

@@drizzle452 they passed on Jalen Carter last year knowing this year would be Offensive Tackle heavy. Idk seems unlikely to me they now go Defense. But this 9th pick really feels like a can't lose situation.

⁠@@drizzle452, the most glaring need isn’t defense. The Bears defense was adequate enough last year to win games. Unlike the offense. We literally just gave away our 2nd this year for sweat so we’re going to invest our top two picks in defense? The offensive line is still a disaster. The guards are ok when healthy. The center situation is a mess and neither tackle is elite. You have Allen and Moore as wideouts and then a bunch of bubble players. If one gets injured then you have a situation where the QB has to hold the ball too long until someone gets open and they get destroyed because the oline is weak. And don’t even get me started on the coaching. Until proven otherwise Flus is a glorified Defensive Coordinator.

Exactly. Aaron Donald didn’t lead the Rams to a Super Bowl.. Stafford did. How many Super Bowl rings do the Watt or Bosa brothers have? What about Myles Garrett? All great to elite defensive cornerstones without the jewelry.

Reasonable

Sounds like Bowers is the pick then 😁

If you’re going to go all caps write in English. Bad look.

Yeah 3 TE's is what we need.

@@skeeter1858Bowers is more than a 3rd TE. Most of his targets came while lined up at WR. Nothing wrong with adding more YAC monsters. Bowers moves the chains and keeps drives alive. Makes life on Kmet even easier. Would help seal the outside for Swift and Herbert (instead of Mooney out there blocking). Additional Red Zone target. Could be wrong and dude could be total bust Or could be a life long safety blanket for Caleb. While I like the idea of adding a LT it's not like Jones is a bum. As much as Bears fans like to scream "THE LINE" the best NFL QB get the ball out in sub 3 seconds. To expect any line to hold much longer than that is not realistic. To reach on DL after passing on Jalen Carter/Will Andersen last year doesn't make sense to pass on a potential weapon like Bowers.

Yeah it's such a shame we ruined the hall of fame potential of Trubisky. He really lit it up when he went to the Steelers and made us regret letting him go.
