I rather have traded down but otherwise I do not hate the pick. 

[Rex Buckingham]

Did we really need 3 minutes of these 2 telling us when they would announce the games being played 3 and a half months before the season will start?

[Bobson Dugnutt]

I wanted a TE and was leaning Warren but was going to be good with whichever of the two Johnson liked better. There was no way they were running it back with the same set of primary weapons as last year.

[UMFan83]

Dude had almost 600 yards and 5 TDs for a Michigan team that didn't know how to throw a forward pass last year.  Very dynamic receiver for a TE.  Blocking is meh but he could be an elite receiving TE.

[Derwood]

I wanted Warren. BOOOOOOOO

[jersey cubs fan]

Meh

[bukie]

Don't hate it, but not my first choice.

NFL offseason television programming has nothing to do with need.

Why this guy over Warren?

[cwood218]

Such a relief that they didn't do something so obviously stupid.

Warren and Kmet are comparable in terms of what they bring to the table, but Loveland is more of a dynamic receiver who can complement Kmet rather than be his replacement.

[BigSlick]

Don’t hate it, but almost would have preferred a trade down (if one was possible). This does say a lot about Ben Johnson’s priorities and what he wants from the offense. I’m sure Johnson will love having him.

 

still want some OL and DL though obviously

What was the last draft with just 1 QB taken in the first 17 picks?

[Wilson A2000]

I wanted Banks. So close.

You have to go back suuuuper far to find a worse year. 

 

2022. 0 QBs in top 19

My memory of NFL drafts is basically nonexistent

 

[Derwood]

Damn, does Sanders even go first round?

The draft that Pickett was picked like #25 by the Steelers way back in 2022. The only QB taken in first round 

[Brian707]

RB and D line with 2nd round picks?

[Tryptamine]

If Pearce slides a bit more, I think I'm on board with going up to grab him.

Ben Johnson definitely has a vision of what he wants his offense to do. Clearly Bears went ceiling over floor with this pick. Hopefully he turns into the Bears version of La Porta.

[Tryptamine]

Well Golden is going to burn the Bears many times for huge plays.
