People have been asking on the messageboard what "The Haul" could look like. I think this gives one idea of how it COULD look. This would be a massive upgrade of roster talent impacting offense and also defense. We would just be a much better team. This one has Fields as our QB1 & that is my hope moving forward. Here's my first three rounds of the draft:
The trade down gives us another 1st round pick in 2025, so we could do this again next year too. It's the Poles trade gift that keeps on giving.
I was able to get 7 picks in the first 3 rounds by trading down twice. I did a trade down to get Marvin Harrison Jr. at #4
Didn't like what was there at #9 so traded down to #17 to get C Jackson Powers-Johnson from Oregon
At #27 (from the trade down) I took Safety Kamren Kinchens. Elite athletic skills but is a bit raw. I thought he'd be a good fit for the Bears Defense though.
At pick #35 (trade down pick) I got OT Kingsley Suamataia from BYU. He is 6'4" 329lbs and I think this guy would be an ELITE guard. Off the charts elite as a guard along side Jackson Powers-Johnson at C. If Jenkins can stay healthy we'd have the best IOL unit in the NFL once the two rookies got past their rookie phase.
At pick #48 (trade down pick) I got Edge Chris Braswell from Alabama. The guy is an athletic freak with what is descrbed as a gunshot quick explosiveness and the dude is monster-strong. Squats over 700lbs and powercleans over 400lbs. One scouting report said he's the kind of player that will keep opposing tackles up all night before a game. Another said "Brings a dynamite combo of speed and power, sending offensive tackles reeling." I think he would be good opposte Montez Sweat.
At pick #66 got TE Ja'Tavion Sanders from Texas. His scouting report included:
Excellent open-field blocker takes effective angles and shows strength against secondary defenders.
Super reliable receiver potential outstanding high pointer
Exhibits great deep speed and agility as a route runner
Effective after the catch, shows potential as a screen receiver to take it the distance
Nice lateral movement, adding versatility to his receiving abilities
Can not be covered by linebackers, will need a corner to keep up with him
Has strong hand usage against press coverage - able to get off at the line
Super soft hands - rarely drops a pass
At pick #75 I got DT Leonard Taylor out of Miami (FL) who I believe could be a great 3-technique guy for us. Getting a guy this good in the 3rd round would be sweet.
So 7 high-quality players in the top-3 rounds alone (we are only halfway through this draft at this point!!!)... but it is with us keeping Justin Fields, and that is my favorite move for the Bears.
