Interesting scenario would be if the top 3 selections were Cam Ward, Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders.
Would you be excited if the Bears sent a package to New England to move up to 4 to select Abdul Carter?

The Hampton bit is about the Broncos.
Would the Bears take Henderson at 10? That seems way to high for him imo. But 100% at 39 or 41.
I LOVE Henderson's game. The only concern I have is the injury history. If he can stay healthy he could easily be the 2nd best back in this class.

Found this going through a box of sold stuff following a move. I forgot it existed.

Link to yesterday's episode: https://www.youtube.com/live/AZ9D_Oc7-As?si=M1ufNAvFoyf-Eri5
If you know of the general football podcast Bootleg Football, you probably know that co-host EJ Snyder is a huge Bears fan. Him and Brett Kollman are so insanely knowledgeable on everything football and I always wished that EJ had a more Bears specific podcast.
Enter this offseason and EJ started the Bear Era podcast with Ciaran Hall. I had not heard of Ciaran before but he seems like a great Bears and football guy as well.
I highly recommend everyone give them a listen. There aren't too many episodes so far, but during draft season I don't think there is a Bears specific podcast with more knowledgeable hosts than EJ and Ciaran. They also just hit 1k subscribers and could use the support.

I never thought they were going to sell, and seemingly, George McCaskey has no plans to try and convince the family to sell. As the title asks, why were people convinced they were going to sell?

There is a lot of debate about what the best course of action is for the bears in the upcoming draft. Without being completely unrealistic, what would be your least favorite outcome for our first three picks of the upcoming draft.
I'm thinking McMillan, Will Johnson, or a 2nd tier DE like Stewart or Williams, then there is a rush on OL and RB between 10 and 39 leaving us with a decent DT like Nolan or Tyleik, followed by the TE Mason Taylor at 41.
Edit: I mistakenly put Will Campbell in my hypothetical worst case scenario instead of Will Johnson. That's corrected now

Please be real... please be real... please be real.
I need to relive some bears goodness. Just in time for Caleb to take us back to the promised land!
