Was Miles Scott getting drafted on anyone’s radar? I don’t feel like he was talked about at all as potentially being drafted. We all
Knew Jacas would, assumes Davis would, hope Altmyer will, but Scott was never mentioned!

I think they're cooking up another trade for a decent DE/DT that won't break the bank.

They seem really reluctant to throw another raw DE in to the mix...

That being said I questioned the Loveland pick and even the Burden pick last year a little bit and was completely wrong on both.

Yes, people are acting like the draft is the last chance to add players. Trades, picking up a veteran(s) from the veteran cut list later in off season — the roster is not set in stone after the draft.

Main benefit of being a UDFA is that you get to pick your destination and a lot of these guys already have teams reaching out to them in case they don't get drafted

I thought the multiple TE set was the reasoning behind Loveland, who's a stud. Two TE's in two years?

It's either Kmet is going to walk or they plan on converting that kid into a lineman.

No, no, no Kmet is not going anywhere they need three TE's when they run 12 ans 13 personnel formations he will take the Dylan Snythe role. I know we did nit address our edge rusher woes. However the draft board did not play out that way. They stuck to their board did not reach for a player based on need and ignore what their board and scouts dictated. We were in a dismal state reaching for players based on need in the past. I trust Ben and his staff. Hello he made us kings of the north and was the only coach in Bears history to go to the playoffs in his 1st year!!!!!

Big congratulations to Gabe, JC, and Miles! May they all have tremendous success and long careers in the NFL. I'm incredibly disappointed Luke didn't get drafted. I still believe that he's a guy who can stick in the league for a long time based on his heart, his mind, and his leadership. Whatever team signs him as a UDFA is going to get a steal. Hard to believe someone would draft Kaliakmanis over him.
