There's a few offensive tackles besides Banks and Campbell who have mid first round draft grades. I don't know about a disaster, but if they got 7, you can argue they could have gotten someone like Abdul Carter if the slides a little.

So the win today cost the Bears 3 spots. I guess it's really not a huge difference between 7 and 10.

FWIW, on the last play of the game, the Seahawks sent the entire right side of their defense and the Bears had no underneath route to throw to. Yes they needed 10 yards, but had they had Allen run a shallow cross or a drag route he easily gets 10 yards because there was absolutely nobody defending it. Seeing the Seahawks have 8 guys on the LOS and no check down option seems like a huge oversight. When you design a play there has to be a reasonable hot read to account for a situation like that. Instead the Bears ran Moore on a deep cross, Allen on a sit down route in the middle of the field and Odunze on what I think was a deep dig. Allen has to recognize that when half of the field is not being defended he needs to convert his sit route into a crosser. The receivers really haven't helped Caleb at all this year.

Over, just because it's actually very hard to win less than 50 games.

Caleb has actually gotten worse at getting rid of the ball quickly as the season has gone on. The inaccuracy on deep throws has been really disappointing. All his other struggles are pretty normal for a rookie in a badly coached offense. He really does need a reset and the Bears really need to hire an offensive head coach to get him in the right space. There's definitely times where he plays hero ball and doesn't get rid of the ball when he should, but there's also plays where he just has no chance because there's no actual checkdown for him to go to.

As bad as Eberflus was all season, Brown clearly sucks at calling 2 minute drills and time management. They wasted a full play clock inside of 2 minutes and then let the play clock run another 20 seconds before calling timeout. They wasted a good minute of the last 2 that totally took away play calling options in that last set of downs. Eberflus deserved to be fired, but Brown had a nice assist in that.

I felt like I was watching the Houston and Detroit Thanksgiving game all in one. The offense had no real answer to all the blitzes. Then they cobble together a decent drive to at least tie the game and Brown mismanages the time completely.

He was pretty good in 2022. I think the hamstring injuries ruined him more than anything.

This is probably the only reason to do this trade. That and maybe you can get Denver to throw in a 2nd round pick.

LaVine with a great audition on his trade to Denver.

Payton Wilson ran a 4.43 40. Looks like Bryse lost the genetic lottery in his family.

This guy is Great Value Lance Lynn

Yeah the overthrows are just weird at this point. It's like he has the yips.

He gets into stretches where he seemingly overthrows everything. I don't think this ever happened in college.

Poles' 3rd round LT looks like he doesn't belong in the NFL.
