Teams to watch in the NFL draft

As there is plenty of excitement for the first round of the draft, the real draft starts round second through seven. There are plenty of team that can make a lot of noise in the second round the Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots.

Dallas Cowboys

Honestly the readiest team to make a Super Bowl push, but with no moves in free agency, I expect Jerry Jones to have a huge draft. Cowboys should be looking to solidify the running back position, with the departure of Tony pollard. Dallas also may be looking to get Dak Prescott another weapon, as they struggled with all the eyes being on Ceedee Lamb. Cowboys could have a very strong draft but it's up to Jerry Jones to be aggressive and make it happen.

Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos are defiantly in rebuild mode with three key departures of Justin Simmions, Russel Wilison, and Jerry Judey. All -played key roles in the team's success. The team is in good hands with head coach Sean Payton, definitely looking to draft a quarterback with their first pick and add o- line and weapons behind him. Denver is looking too right the ship and leave the Russel Wilson era behind them, and it stars next Thursday.

New England Patriots

Patriots one of the main focuses of this year draft, has a top 5 pick and is looking to draft a top pick after trading away Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Patriots truly starting form ground releasing Bill Belichick new head coach Jerad Mayo is entrusted to bring a new culture and turn these things around in New England. With the Patriots having a top 5 pick and taking a top quarterback, I believe they can make a lot of noise.

Josh Allen To The Bears ?

The Chicago Bears should trade their number pick to the Bufalo Bills for star studded quarterback Josh Allen. The Bears would send their first pick of this year draft and running back Khailil Herbert to the bills in exchange for Josh Allen and a future 6th round pick. If this trade was to happen it would definitely be a draft day trade, and the Bears could shock the world.

How did we get here?

The Bears traded away their former starting quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh steelers for a 2025 sixth round draft pick, leaving 2nd string quarterback Tyson Bagent and Veteran Brett Rypien on the roster. With the obvious move, the Bears would take Caleb Willimas, but they don't have to be sold on him just yet. Other option looms for the Bears, The Buffalo Billis Traded Away All-Pro receiver Stefon Diggs, sixth-round pick and a 2025 fifth round pick to the Houston Texans in exchange for a second in the 2025 draft.

So, it can be concluded that the Bills are in rebuild mode with key departures on the defensive side as well. Josh Allen is no scrub; this guy can ball. Allen played college ball at Wyoming and was drafted by the Bills with seventh pick in the first round, in 2018. since then, Allen has thrown for 20,000 yards and 167 touchdowns. Arguably coming of his best season yet scoring the most touchdowns in the league.

Immediate Impact

There is no doubt that Allen can come in and make a positive impact on the Bears. Allen is a proven quarterback in this league and has shown what he can do with his arm and legs. This is a Viable option for the Bears if they don't want to go through growing pains with Caleb WIlliams. The Bears now have a roster that can do a lot of damage in the NFC, it's going to be interesting to see what Ryan Poles does.

Caleb Willimas is now the guy for the Chicago Bears

The Trade

The Chicago Bears traded former starting Quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers,7 days ago for a 6th round draft pick, opening the door for Caleb Willimas. Fields had an 10-28 record with the Bears and led the team in rushing yards every year he was a starter. Fields now goes to Pittsburgh and looks to compete for a starting job or back up Russel Wilison.

Caleb WIlliams

With Justin Fields now traded, the Bears looks to move in and take Caleb WIlliams number one overall in the draft. WIlliams recently just had his pro day and continued to impress NFL scouts with multiple representatives from the Bears origination including General Manger Ryan Poles and Head Coach Matt Eberflus.

Talent/Future

The is no doubt Williams can play but is he ready? Williams the 22-year-old born in Washington, DC standing at 6'1 and 255 pounds. WIlliams has thrown for about 10,000 yards in his college Carrer and only 14 interceptions. WIlliams also a Heisman Trophy Winner and has broken many accolades at USC. Only problem that has come up about Caleb WIlliams is his attitude or ego, can he fit with the system or just be another quarterback for the Chicago Bears.

Target Players at the NFL Cobine for the Chicago Bears

The NFL Combine is here, top college athletes from all over show off their physical abilities and show why NFL teams should take them in the Draft. There is no lack of talent in this year draft combine with high profile players in each position group.

Who Should the Bears look for?

There has obviously been a lot of talk around what the Chicago Bears will do with the number one pick. However, the Bears still need a defense, their target should be the defensive line. One Player is Laiatu Latu , Latu an defensive end that played for the UCLA Bruins and the Washinton Huskies. Latu standing at 6'5 265 pounds, he recorded 24.5 sacks and 100 tackles over 4 years in college. I see the Bears taking him in the mid to late 2nd round to add depth and speed to the D line.

Safety Help

The Bears now need a safety after releasing veteran Eddie Jackson. One guy that should be on the Bears radar is Kamren Kinchens. Kinchens a 21-year-old from Miami, FL, played college ball for University of Miami. Kinchens recorded 11 picks and over 50 tackles at Miami. He can easily become an aggressive but smart safety the bears desperately need.

Is there a right pick ?

The options

The Chicago Bears Literally hold the keys to the 2024 NFL Draft. Here are their likely options, trade away the number one pick, draft Caleb WIlliams, draft Marvin Harrsion Jr, draft Drake Maye. All are good options, but the best choice is to trade the pick or take Marvin Harrsion at 1. Don't get me wrong there is a lot of talent in this draft, but the Bears doesn't need another quarterback.

Caleb Willaims

Caleb Williams, no doubt is the best quarterback coming out of the draft this year. Heisman winner, this kid is ready to play and lead an NFL team. Caleb threw for over 5,000 yards, and over 90 touchdowns. Recently Playing for the USC Trojans Caleb led to the team ton record 8-5. which leads me to my concern, can he win games. Caleb no doubt has all the talent in the world, but with a team that is desperate as the Bears, he's not the right fit.

Drake Maye

Maye probably the most system ready quarterback in the draft. I like this a long shot for the Bears. The last time the Bears took an UNC quarterback, which was Mitch Trubisky, and we all saw how that went. Maye of the flip side has thrown for 7,000 yards and 50 touchdowns. It's going to see where he lands and see how he does int the league.

Marvin Harrison

If the Bears doesn't trade down this is the obvious pick. Marvin Harrsion jr is ready to complement DJ Moore and Justin Fields. Marvin was a Heisman candidate and a top 10 wide receiver in yards. The biggest thing that separates Marvin is his size and speed Marvin sits at a 6"4 frame and is at 205 pounds. Fields, Moore and Harrsion jr. can be a nasty combo, all Bears fans would want to see.

Can the Bears get it right ?

For the second year in a row the Chicago Bears have the number 1 draft pick in the NFL Draft. What the Bears will do with the pick is the big question. Will they trade it away for the second year in a row? Or will they take Caleb Williams or Marvin Harrison?

How did they get here?

The Bears in the 2022-23 season had a record of 3-14, which earned the team the number one pick. The Bears would then go on and trade the pick to the Carolina Panthers in return for star receiver DJ Moore and multiple future draft picks as well. This season was a lot better for them but because of the Panthers 2-15 record they will receive the number one pick again.

Who does it fall on?

There is one guy that holds the key to the Chicago Bears future, and that is 2nd year General Manger Ryan Poles. He has been given the task to turn this franchise around in the right directions. Since taking over Poles has given bears fans some hope with making smart moves to help the team. This past season Poles traded for star defensive end Montrez Sweat, and right away helped the team. Ultimately, it's up to Poles to make things right. Can he make a wrong decision?
