Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the Wendy City podcast provided by fans out of course.
- 0:05[SPEAKER_00]: That is Alex Piro.
- 0:06[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Kenneth Davis and this is our senior goal draft episode We name the food prospects that stood out that we wouldn't mind seeing on the bears roster So we're filling in gaps.
- 0:18[SPEAKER_00]: I'm filling in those and making things work the way they need to work Alex kick it off Modcraft season
- 0:27[SPEAKER_01]: All year long, we're like, he believed we haven't done any mock draft work.
- 0:30[SPEAKER_01]: You believe we haven't done any draft.
- 0:31[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the day has finally come and you know what, Kenneth, it honestly felt the little.
- 0:36[SPEAKER_01]: It felt good.
- 0:37[SPEAKER_01]: It felt like putting on a cozy sweater that first time you put on that cozy sweater, autumn.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_01]: That's what do it a mock draft felt like for the first time this year.
- 0:46[SPEAKER_01]: It took us until that be wary, incredibly.
- 0:50[SPEAKER_01]: As you mentioned, we are going to be focusing on senior bowl guys because the senior bowl just wrapped up.
- 0:56[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, we're going to release this a little later, but the time we're recording this, the Cedar Ball has just wrapped up.
- 1:04[SPEAKER_01]: So of course, these are Busy Busy Dudes.
- 1:07[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to be doing a lot more mock drafts.
- 1:09[SPEAKER_01]: Um, without further ado, oh, we're going to do three rounds.
- 1:11[SPEAKER_01]: So I should mention that three rounds.
- 1:13[SPEAKER_01]: So three picks.
- 1:14[SPEAKER_01]: The number 25 pick, the number 57 pick and the number 89 pick in the draft for the Chicago Bears.
- 1:23[SPEAKER_01]: I am starting.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_01]: with a dude who has had kind of a roller coaster of draft stock.
- 1:30[SPEAKER_01]: And that is Clemson, Ed Drusher, TJ Parker.
- 1:35[SPEAKER_01]: Kenneth is smiling because I might as I might as snipe to his guy.
- 1:40[SPEAKER_01]: Or maybe not, oh no, oh no, oh no.
- 1:43[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, well, I'll tell you about TJ Parker, this guy.
- 1:47[SPEAKER_01]: is really big.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_01]: Six, three, and five eighths of an inch.
- 1:51[SPEAKER_01]: So six feet, three, and five eighths inches.
- 1:53[SPEAKER_01]: 263 pounds, arms at 33 and a quarter inches.
- 2:01[SPEAKER_01]: Big, big, fell on.
- 2:03[SPEAKER_01]: After the 2024 season and going into the 2025 season, people were thinking, this guy could be a first rounder.
- 2:11[SPEAKER_01]: If he puts together a great 2025, we're talking first rounder.
- 2:17[SPEAKER_01]: play and production kind of took a dip in 2025.
- 2:20[SPEAKER_01]: So in 2024 he had 11 sacks, but last year only five sacks.
- 2:25[SPEAKER_01]: So people were talking, oh, is he going to be a zuck around or do do do do do do do do do huge senior ball guy had a huge senior ball all sorts of highlights.
- 2:35[SPEAKER_01]: He his name was getting tweeted at a bunch where now it's like, oh, Mr. Parker have you entered the first round conversation again,
- 2:45[SPEAKER_01]: obviously towards the back of the first round for the bears.
- 2:48[SPEAKER_01]: That's why he's available.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_01]: He's got what you can't teach in the size.
- 2:54[SPEAKER_01]: He's also a real solid edge setter.
- 2:57[SPEAKER_01]: Experts really like his run defense, which
- 3:00[SPEAKER_01]: is obviously super duper important, especially if the bears want this guy to develop into an every down player and not just a past rush only player.
- 3:12[SPEAKER_01]: So the fact that he's got a little bit of that
- 3:16[SPEAKER_01]: uh run stopping is good and then one thing that I loved uh one play in particular because he had a lot.
- 3:22[SPEAKER_01]: If you search TJ Parker Senior Bowl highlights, you're going to see a lot.
- 3:26[SPEAKER_01]: But one in particular that was really impressed me is in team drills.
- 3:30[SPEAKER_01]: He gets around the edge.
- 3:31[SPEAKER_01]: Gets what is a sack, right?
- 3:33[SPEAKER_01]: What would have been a sack?
- 3:34[SPEAKER_01]: But they keep playing the quarterback kind of scoots out and start scrambling and TJ Parker's like
- 3:40[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going after him again and runs around and tracks him down for another tackle.
- 3:46[SPEAKER_01]: So that kind of pursuit, that kind of just, I got to get this football, I got to get this guy down to get a sack and attack all of the same play is funny and that's the type of energy that you want to see out of these practices.
- 4:01[SPEAKER_01]: So TJ Parker is going to be my guy with the number 25 pick edge from Clemson.
- 4:08[SPEAKER_00]: All right, I'm gonna hope that this guy falls to the bears.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going down to the Sunshine State and I'm going after Caleb Banks, 6, 6, 3, 30.
- 4:26[SPEAKER_00]: All right, aggressive, crazy first defensive tackle.
- 4:31[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so we're talking about right there up front.
- 4:35[SPEAKER_00]: Fastest way to get to someplace is a direct line.
- 4:38[SPEAKER_00]: Dennis Allen having this, what we hope Javan dexter senior was going to be, all right, coming in there coming in there and solving a lot of issues because in all fairness and I do think the bears still need help and perhaps they will get this help at the edge, but
- 4:56[SPEAKER_00]: They need a defense of tackle and the guy probably just doesn't need to be the old universal three technique and I'm in that is sometimes a undersized guy.
- 5:08[SPEAKER_00]: You probably need a de force buckner type as far as
- 5:13[SPEAKER_00]: Not a nose, but still can have some nose aspects.
- 5:17[SPEAKER_00]: So my guy is huge Caleb Banks because he provides you two things.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_00]: He takes up space, but he moves fast, and he plays with aggression.
- 5:26[SPEAKER_00]: And that sounds like the type of player that I think they want.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_00]: And also if you go back and think about
- 5:31[SPEAKER_00]: The type of defense of Lyman that you have in Cam Ward, the type of guys that they have over in New Orleans, you know, on the side of the style they were, he was, they were a big front four.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
- 5:47[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah, so I look at them going after a guy like Caleb Banks if he ends up falling to them.
- 5:53[SPEAKER_00]: I think he would be one of the guys that they would just be salivating to get their hands on and it's bringing to their program.
- 6:00[SPEAKER_01]: I thought you were going a key Mesodore when you were talking about it.
- 6:03[SPEAKER_01]: I hope this guy falls, but then I realized a key Mesodore.
- 6:06[SPEAKER_01]: The Miami Hurricane, Opposite and Ruben Bane, he was not a senior ball, so he's off the board because he wasn't a senior ball, but that's why.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to hear his name on this podcast time or two, I would predict in the coming months.
- 6:21[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, let's go.
- 6:23[SPEAKER_01]: Number 57.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_01]: don't roll your eyes too hard at me, can I?
- 6:27[SPEAKER_01]: All right, because I've gone here before, and if I do say so myself is worked out for the bears, but with number 57.
- 6:38[SPEAKER_01]: I have the bears, selecting safety slash nickel from the University of Southern California, Kamari Ramsey.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_01]: Now, let's do this.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_01]: So you at home, you at home with this.
- 6:53[SPEAKER_01]: I watched a lot of USC football and what I saw is Kamari Ramsey making a whole lot of plays and Kamari Ramsey.
- 7:02[SPEAKER_01]: Showed off some versatility.
- 7:03[SPEAKER_01]: This guy is a safety, but due to injuries, the Trojan's needed him to move to Nickle Corner.
- 7:11[SPEAKER_01]: And he did, he filled, he went right in.
- 7:14[SPEAKER_01]: You know, teams love that kind of versatility.
- 7:16[SPEAKER_01]: That, hey, if we need to move you around, the formation, we're good.
- 7:20[SPEAKER_01]: He can play deep, act as a playmaker.
- 7:24[SPEAKER_01]: He can play in the box.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_01]: He can play near the line of scrimmage.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_01]: To be honest,
- 7:29[SPEAKER_01]: He reminds me quite a bit of Jequan Brisker.
- 7:33[SPEAKER_01]: This guy in downhill really, really quickly, hits very, very hard.
- 7:38[SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, he's a very short tackler.
- 7:41[SPEAKER_01]: He does not miss many tackles.
- 7:44[SPEAKER_01]: So he will make you feel him.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_01]: And then what is most impressive,
- 7:50[SPEAKER_01]: is I think he does a very good job of diagnosing to play very quickly, sorting everything out and then just flying to the football.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_01]: You see that a lot where he's like, oh, screen is going here and he is just a missile to the football and lays the boom down.
- 8:07[SPEAKER_01]: So that ability to diagnose what's happening, you see him also communicating with his teammates a good amount if he's able to diagnose that ahead of time, which he does because you can tell he's he's got that on field that IQ where he knows what's going on, you see him all the time communicating to his teammates yo yo yo, I'm going here you go there.
- 8:26[SPEAKER_01]: This is, you know, he's that big time communicator can can diagnose what's happening flies to the football big hitter and
- 8:36[SPEAKER_01]: what Dennis Allen loves, very effective as a blitzer.
- 8:41[SPEAKER_01]: The Trojans would send him in pressure packages sometimes and has that knack to be able to get home in two years at USC, he had two sacks, he had seven tackles for loss.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_01]: So effective really at every level of the defense, we've talked about how the bears have four safeties that are set to become free agents.
- 9:04[SPEAKER_01]: All four of those safeties have a case to return have been effective realistically.
- 9:10[SPEAKER_01]: Some of those safeties will not return.
- 9:11[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to need to replenish that group.
- 9:13[SPEAKER_01]: I think Camari Ramsey is a guy who could slide into that room and really help out in a lot of ways.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_00]: That's interesting because partially I want to go with the safety, but I feel like I would be taking him around too early.
- 9:32[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not going to go, actually I am going to go to safety.
- 9:37[SPEAKER_00]: All right, and now I may have to split this.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna go and stay within the big team.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna go with the Sean Singleton from the Corn Huskers at six, three over 200 pounds speaking of senior ball activity.
- 9:52[SPEAKER_00]: He, the guidance didn't a lot of props.
- 9:54[SPEAKER_00]: We waited for him, but she looked at Nussmire from LSU.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_00]: He intercepted Nussmire, filled in the hole,
- 10:06[SPEAKER_00]: PSU, K-Tron Island, K-Tron Island, took him down in the gap.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_00]: So the goal line with the brisk or typo guy, got it, has three interceptions, he started like the last 25 games for the Cole Huskers.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_00]: I believe he has like seven tacos for loss and several sex.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_00]: Big guy, I think again, plays Will, out for looking like Kevin Byr, will be back.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_00]: um, played in this type of weather.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, so I'm going to go with the Sean single to him, but I may.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_00]: I know as the caveat, I may switch them down to the third round, depending on my last look at your guy.
- 10:44[SPEAKER_01]: Go get your guy.
- 10:45[SPEAKER_01]: Go get your guy, man.
- 10:46[SPEAKER_00]: If you guys on the floor, go get him.
- 10:48[SPEAKER_01]: Go get him.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_01]: If that's safe, if you guys, go get him GM.
- 10:56[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 10:58[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, we're already at our third guy.
- 11:00[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_01]: Flying through this.
- 11:03[SPEAKER_01]: Now I'm addressing the interior of the line.
- 11:06[SPEAKER_01]: The bears need help on the defensive line.
- 11:10[SPEAKER_01]: I am going to the university that has produced some incredible defensive linemen in recent drafts.
- 11:18[SPEAKER_01]: Florida State, we are taking nose tackle, Darrell Jackson, Jr.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_01]: of a man, six, five, three, hundred and thirty pounds.
- 11:32[SPEAKER_01]: Now what's interesting, Darrell Jackson was a late ad to the senior bull.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_01]: He was at the Shrine bull also, you almost never hear of guys participating in both All Star Games just because they happened very, they very happened very close to each other, but he went to the Shrine bull.
- 11:49[SPEAKER_01]: was popping off at the shrineball, accepts a late invite and shows up to the senior ball on day two and basically just right out the gate on day two in one on one drills was just putting offensive linemen on their ass.
- 12:03[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this guy, I was reading up a little bit more on him is apparently known for his long arm and for his bull rush and for using his strength.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_01]: And in those one on one drills, it was all on display just again, just knocking dudes into the ground where it's like, wow, this guy is big and this guy is strong.
- 12:24[SPEAKER_01]: Now, um,
- 12:26[SPEAKER_01]: experts do believe that yes he has these these raw tools which is great but that his actual past rush plan needs a little bit more work you know the experts the scouts described him more as a raw tools he guy but hey we're grabbing him on in the third round here we're grabbing him in the third round we're not using you know a top 50 pic we're not using a top 75 pic on this guy
- 12:51[SPEAKER_01]: And right away, he might be more of a run stopper, a clogger.
- 12:58[SPEAKER_01]: He's a gap eater.
- 13:00[SPEAKER_01]: He can take an offensive lineman and then shed that block right at the last second to stop running backs for small gains.
- 13:09[SPEAKER_01]: Which, honestly, the bears need help.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_01]: They needed help on that run defense.
- 13:14[SPEAKER_01]: The run defense was a roller coaster this year.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_01]: They need help on the interior.
- 13:21[SPEAKER_01]: a run stopper helping in the interior and then adds some of that pass rush later.
- 13:26[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's absolutely fine.
- 13:29[SPEAKER_01]: I have no problem with that.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_01]: The bears need help on the interior.
- 13:33[SPEAKER_01]: So Darrell Jackson, Jr., you're going to help solve some run defense issues and maybe you'll push the pocket a little bit.
- 13:40[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe you'll push the pocket a little bit on pass rush opportunities as part of that second wave or something.
- 13:45[SPEAKER_00]: You know what?
- 13:46[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to do a redo here.
- 13:48[SPEAKER_00]: redo.
- 13:49[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm doing a redo.
- 13:50[SPEAKER_00]: And this is I'm doing my third guy, but I'm I'm going to go with my second guy with a guy that I've seen linked to the bears a lot, but I didn't want to go.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_00]: So when I've seen linked to the bears a lot.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_01]: He is now the 89 pick and now you're doing the 57 pick again.
- 14:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm giving Brian Paris some some props here.
- 14:16[SPEAKER_00]: sticky coverage ability during one-on-one drills came down here kind of down here during team sessions to break up past.
- 14:22[SPEAKER_00]: He also snag and a erobatic interception that was called back due to a hole but he made the play all the same.
- 14:29[SPEAKER_00]: Clark is one of the most distinct jewel defenders of the senior ball if he continues to build on his latest outing and extra confidence so create more fans within the scouting community.
- 14:38[SPEAKER_00]: That's what
- 14:38[SPEAKER_00]: someone told him that was a bear scout.
- 14:41[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go with Bud Clark as my third pick to fill in the safety position for the bear.
- 14:49[SPEAKER_01]: So we're striking.
- 14:51[SPEAKER_01]: than to brass.
- 14:52[SPEAKER_00]: It's two.
- 14:53[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 14:53[SPEAKER_00]: 6285 pounds.
- 14:55[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 14:56[SPEAKER_00]: Now for my second royal pick in reverse order, someone I've seen lead to the version.
- 15:02[SPEAKER_01]: I only on orthodox, by the way.
- 15:04[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think Ryan is going to do over on the Ruben Heppelite?
- 15:06[SPEAKER_01]: Peck, you think he's trying to do over on the problem.
- 15:10[SPEAKER_00]: Probably not probably not.
- 15:11[SPEAKER_00]: My guy is from the SEC.
- 15:15[SPEAKER_00]: They haven't been in the SEC long, but they plan for early decent MSBC, particularly the last couple of seasons.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_00]: Zion young of Missouri, defensive in 65, 262 pounds.
- 15:26[SPEAKER_00]: All right, excellent size, explodes in the blocks, serious knockdown, back power,
- 15:34[SPEAKER_00]: good hands, usage, and powerful, a hard to move in the run games.
- 15:38[SPEAKER_00]: It's successful to convert speed and a motor.
- 15:40[SPEAKER_00]: And we all know about the affinity for a motor.
- 15:43[SPEAKER_00]: A motor, see, of course, to log the other set of Los Angeles.
- 15:48[SPEAKER_00]: See the Raiders, of course, from Max Crossby.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_00]: But that's where I'm going to go with, as far as throwing another DE in the mix.
- 15:55[SPEAKER_00]: One thing that we didn't do in this draft, which is interesting, we didn't subtle the offensive line situation with as you trip being out, neither one of us.
- 16:05[SPEAKER_00]: And I would think that would be, I mean, no later than round four, but that's got to be a first three round pick to get a guy that's going to play next year you would think.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_00]: A lesson, of course,
- 16:18[SPEAKER_00]: They believed that they have a type and that they can coach that guy up.
- 16:23[SPEAKER_00]: But still, unlike under Bin Johnson, unlike prior to Bin Johnson, where a lot of projects were selected, it doesn't seem like they draft projects.
- 16:31[SPEAKER_00]: They seem like they draft guys that are close to a finished project that they think they can shine and buff out.
- 16:36[SPEAKER_00]: But we didn't take an offensive tackle.
- 16:39[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I think that's something that we need to go into perhaps the next episode of the episode after that.
- 16:44[SPEAKER_00]: is in trying to finish the offensive line.
- 16:46[SPEAKER_00]: And also, I think at some point, and it may not be this draft, but you're going to have to get another prospect to fill in gap center guard when one of these guys get hurt because you're probably not going to have as a healthy and offensive line as you did this year outside of what happened at left tackle.
- 17:05[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, my guy is Zion Young.
- 17:08[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen on several mock drafts him being a guy that the bears would take So I'm picking him in the second round.
- 17:16[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a good value to get him in the second round.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_00]: I think I've seen him in the first So that's my guy and then bucklark in the third Defence defense defense Because the bears had issues with their defense.
- 17:28[SPEAKER_00]: So I think there's remedy some of that and all the money is on offensive side anyway so
- 17:34[SPEAKER_00]: Please, gotta go young when you've been in on that offense.
- 17:38[SPEAKER_00]: At least we've solved and remedied some of the issues on defense.
- 17:41[SPEAKER_00]: And again, let us know what you think.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_00]: Give us your prospects and we'll talk about them and we'll also have more prospects.
- 17:47[SPEAKER_00]: This is just our rough around the edges.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_00]: Senior Bowl mock draft.
- 17:53[SPEAKER_00]: So we're gonna have drafts where include all the players to players that didn't go to Senior Bowl and the players that are too good to go to the Senior.
- 18:00[SPEAKER_00]: I'm too good to go to the Senior Bowl.
- 18:02[SPEAKER_01]: Like a game is an art.
- 18:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, anything else you want to add before we get out of here?
- 18:06[SPEAKER_01]: I want to talk a little bit about Zion Young and that's all right.
- 18:09[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a great pick.
- 18:11[SPEAKER_01]: This is another dude who was just popping off.
- 18:15[SPEAKER_01]: And he had like a variety of moves which was cool.
- 18:18[SPEAKER_01]: One that I saw a bunch was this little ace.
- 18:21[SPEAKER_01]: The movie did strong guy.
- 18:23[SPEAKER_01]: It's interesting that you have him going to the bears of 57.
- 18:28[SPEAKER_01]: I might not Really interesting some Matt Miller because like I said I started digging to the draft stuff a little bit Matt Miller at ESPN Put out one of his first mock traps.
- 18:43[SPEAKER_01]: He also has the bear's drafting Zion young but you know where he has him drafted him
- 18:48[SPEAKER_00]: in the first 25.
- 18:50[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's what's happening.
- 18:52[SPEAKER_01]: He's one of these dudes who's rising, rising, rising, it happens every year.
- 18:56[SPEAKER_01]: That is the beauty of the pre-draft process.
- 19:00[SPEAKER_01]: That is the beauty of the senior bowl, guys who are second rounders, all of a sudden become first rounders, guys.
- 19:07[SPEAKER_01]: First rounders, all of a sudden become second rounders.
- 19:10[SPEAKER_01]: And this is going to continue to change.
- 19:13[SPEAKER_01]: that combine happens and they're measuring their arms again and all of a sudden, oh, this guy's arms shrunk a quarter of it and show my god, I was gonna affect his draft stock or this guy, he was expected to run a four, four.
- 19:26[SPEAKER_01]: He ran a four, six.
- 19:28[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, oh, oh, oh, all this stuff.
- 19:31[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a roller coaster ride.
- 19:33[SPEAKER_01]: Take these rankings with a grain of salt.
- 19:35[SPEAKER_01]: Take all of this with a grain of salt.
- 19:37[SPEAKER_01]: This is more of an exercise to
- 19:40[SPEAKER_01]: start to introduce you to some names, try to have a little bit of fun while we're doing this.
- 19:45[SPEAKER_01]: None of this is that serious.
- 19:47[SPEAKER_01]: Mark is really the best name for it because it is kind of a mockery of everything because I mean, like teams aren't even close to setting their draft boards yet.
- 19:58[SPEAKER_01]: Teams aren't even close to setting their draft boards yet, so we're all just having fun folks and help you out a little bit of fun because this is also very fun for me and I imagine I'll speak for you, Kenneth.
- 20:12[SPEAKER_01]: I imagine it's very fun for you too.
- 20:14[SPEAKER_00]: No, I love how you just encapsulated all of that.
- 20:18[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that I've seen Matt Millen's draft board too, and that made me dive even further in Tezayan.
- 20:27[SPEAKER_00]: And it's funny because I want the second round value, but as you said, how late they had drafted the second round, he wouldn't probably be there because you got to think day two, people are going to be moving up to get the guys.
- 20:38[SPEAKER_00]: if they want to get their hands on that fell into the second round, if they had first round draft marks.
- 20:45[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see.
- 20:46[SPEAKER_00]: And they'll be interesting if we like these guys and we will blast them.
- 20:50[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, the thing about this and I'll end on this.
- 20:54[SPEAKER_00]: For so many years working with you, Alex, we've talked about the bears having too many holes and one giraffe can't fix those holes.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: And now we're getting down to the point where a giraffe can fix these holes because they don't have as many holes as they used to happen the past.
- 21:11[SPEAKER_00]: And you have free agency.
- 21:12[SPEAKER_00]: So when you didn't have all last year, you didn't even have an offensive line.
- 21:16[SPEAKER_00]: And now you have a whole offensive line you just need to figure out can some guy be there until if eyes he's going to be the guy when he comes back on which is still a big deal, but it's nowhere near the same even if you kept your line backers your linebackers are adequate good enough.
- 21:32[SPEAKER_00]: You know, defensive backs are good enough if they stay healthy.
- 21:35[SPEAKER_00]: You could keep these running backs are probably going to add a running back.
- 21:38[SPEAKER_00]: You have the quarterback.
- 21:39[SPEAKER_00]: You have the past catches.
- 21:41[SPEAKER_00]: Now, we used to have one receiver if we were lucky, right?
- 21:45[SPEAKER_00]: You got receivers and tight ends.
- 21:47[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
- 21:48[SPEAKER_00]: Like, there's so much more.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_00]: You got a really nice coaches that have like there.
- 21:52[SPEAKER_00]: The bears have not been this primed.
- 21:55[SPEAKER_00]: in a long time where the positions of need because usually if they had most it is the quarterback was the question where the position of need can be solved in an offseason.
- 22:05[SPEAKER_00]: So again, I just want us to be happy because we've been unhappy a lot of times here if you're a bear's fan and let's just some of the stuff that we want to provide you with with reality.
- 22:13[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to be sitting in a shitty code.
- 22:15[SPEAKER_00]: With reality, here on the one-of-the-city podcast, again, that is Alex Shapiro.
- 22:20[SPEAKER_00]: I am Kenna Davis.
- 22:22[SPEAKER_00]: And we will see you this upcoming week as we dive into whatever bears the hell we feel like.
- 22:29[SPEAKER_00]: All right, everybody.
- 22:29[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see you later.
