LOL, I was just going to post this. So it does sound like they are open to an inside guy as well as an edge. They just want to pressure the QB. Of course, it's best if you have 2 edges AND an inside guy that can apply pressure. That's an elite line. We aren't going to get an elite line this year. We might have to settle for an offense that can protect the QB and score and then worry about the D next year. But we won't have these kind of high picks next year (unless it takes the new QB a while to learn)

+1 It seems like the Bears will have a much improved overall roster this season. The team has gone from 3 wins to 7 wins since Eberflus arrived. The team should do better this year. Steady improvement. But they're going to need 2025 to complete the meat of the rebuild effort no matter who they draft at #9 this year.

Just remember, it's lying season. Up until the draft everything the FO or coaching staff says could mean anything. A lot of this stuff is just positioning and random noise to try to confuse all the other organizations. Trying to suss out any actual plan from this stuff is probably just going to give you a headache.

Yes, thought about that too. It might be misdirection

It's lying season, so you're lying. But if you're lying about lying, you're telling the truth. but you're lying. My head is spinning, and so is my brain. I'm getting a headache now. I feel like Norman on I, Mudd.

We have a couple of young big hungry guys with a year on their belts. They could just become monsters in their second seasons. Would that not be fun to watch.
Eberflus can take a back seat this year. He had 2 years where the defense got all the new add ons. Time to give Williams what he needs.
Then I guess it's a good thing that Poles & Flus have already given Williams (or Maye) everything he needs. Two class A receivers, good TE, good RB, they upgraded the OL and hired a better OC.
Other than Brisker in 2022 and Sweat in 2023, what exactly did the defense get these past two years? Seriously, outside of JJ, Sweat and Brisker, our D is pretty awful.

I can't deny we need a DE pretty bad. I would like to get another stud long term WR in here though. For me, one of the top WRs first and then DE as the second choice. Still think there is a really good chance we trade down though
