Holy horsefeathers Falcons are taking Penix

I need to stay several posts behind because you're posting picks from Twitter before they're announced on TV

[BigSlick]

I think Michael Penix is a good player but lol at spending the 8th overall pick on a 24 year old with 2 knee surgeries

I want Rome but the Bears have a shot to draft the first offensive and first defensive player in the draft 

There are bad picks here, but there are no realistically bad picks here.

[UMFan83]

We got him!

Man, that's crazy. Wonder how the vikes fans are feeling right now

[BigSlick]

DON'T OVERTHINK IT AND JUST GET ODUNZE

[Soul]

Who knows maybe Penix will be great but I don’t understand the $100 mil guaranteed to Cousins then.

[CubinNY]

Whatever else they do is icing.

You want offense?  We got your offense right here.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Overall that felt good

[BigSlick]

i'm so pumped for the bears yall

[Outshined_One]

Yessssssssssss

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This is probably the happiest I've been with the Bears since 2006

[UK]

This is ideal as it gets.

[SpongeWorthy]

Caleb will throw for 4000 yards and 30 touchdowns as a rookie

there might be some picks and a horsefeathers ton of fumbles but we will move the ball

[gflore34]

Just awesome, all  I can say, offense, offense, if Caleb just manages to be average the Bears are going to light up the scoreboard.

[UMFan83]

Caleb Williams

D’Andre Swift

Roschon Johnson

DJ Moore

Keenan Allen

Rome Odunze

Cole Kmet

Gerald Everett

 

Obviously the QB has to hit but holy horsefeathers Poles created a monster offense. Unreal

Bears have added Caleb, Rome, Allen & Swift in the last two months. Crazy stuff. Can't wait for this season.

[Tim]

I'm now a Poles fanboy, I think.

[UMFan83]

What is the longest we’ve ever gone without a defensive player selected in a draft?  On to pick 11 and still waiting. 

[Derwood]

UMFan now forced to root against his Michigan guy.

[Outshined_One]

Vikes traded up for JJ, bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

We can quibble over all kinds of stuff he's done, but if he hits on Williams, then the trade with carolina dwarfs pretty much everything in terms of impact.

I think this also speaks to how much the league has transformed into being an offensive league

Defense is important but completely secondary to a good offense - you have to be able to put up 25+ a week if you want to be a playoff team
