  • Finally listened… yikes

    Was desperate for more Bears content and listened to a couple recent eps. All the while wondering, weren’t these the guys complicit in laundering Tyler Dunne’s baseless hit piece? You’d have no idea listening now. So hard to take anything seriously knowing how embarrassingly that was handled - sure, you’ve nothing but praise for Caleb now…

    More than anything was surprised by how very mid the discussion is. Hoge in particular is no more insightful than your average YouTube commenter. I’d be so e... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ONE WEEK AWAY: Ryan Poles Keying in on 2026 NFL Draft + Jerry Azumah Joins! | CHGO Bears
Q: Would you prioritize drafting a cornerback at 25 given last year's injuries and depth concerns?
Yes, there's a strong case for adding cornerback depth (Tyreke Stevenson, Kyler Gordon) and potentially bringing in Avion Torell or Brandon Cisse to bolster man-to-man coverage.
ONE WEEK AWAY: Ryan Poles Keying in on 2026 NFL Draft + Jerry Azumah Joins! | CHGO Bears
Q: Who do you like for the Bears at 25 here?
LeeJay suggests defensive edge prospects like TJ Parker and debates the balance between best player available and positional needs, with emphasis on edge and secondary depth.
Matt Waldman JOINS To Breakdown Skill Players In 2026 NFL Draft! | CHGO Bears After Dark
Q: What makes Caleb Williams a standout in this quarterback class?
Waldman explains that Williams rates highly due to an extraordinary combination of talent, leadership, and coachability; he can handle coaching hard, execute within a structured system, and improve with better supporting pieces like an upgraded offensive line and veteran receivers.
LEFT TO ADDRESS: Could Offensive Tackle be the Chicago Bears 1st Round Priority? | CHGO Bears
Q: What are your thoughts on the Bears' first-round priorities, specifically left tackle vs. other positions?
The Bears should not dismiss left tackle in the first round; securing a plug-and-play offensive lineman who can protect the quarterback in a pass-heavy, play-action offense is a priority, even if it means passing on other positions.
Dave Wannstedt's Advice for the Chicago Bears: Draft Playmakers Over Measurables
Q: Dave, how do you see the balance between draft board strength and positional need in the Bears' approach this year?
The approach should start with a best-player board to ensure the overall talent is maximized, then an at-position board to weigh needs. The real key is getting players who can make plays and elevate the entire defense, not just filling a specific hole.
