Mocking the Mocks: Chicago Bears trade back and go offensive line

Mocking the Mocks: Chicago Bears trade back and go offensive line

The latest mock draft from Good Morning Football’s Peter Schrager is his sourced mock on what he’s hearing teams will do.

Most of the national mock drafts at this point in the offseason are fairly similar in their projection for the Chicago Bears. But when an interesting one pops up, it’s worth peeking at. The first one from Peter Schrager, the Senior National Writer for Fox Sports and the co-host of the NFL Network’s Good Morning Football, has the Bears making an interesting trade.

Schrager only does two mocks each draft season because he waits to source all his info...

NFL Draft interview: St. Francis S Scott Tumilty

NFL Draft interview: St. Francis S Scott Tumilty

WCG’s lead draft analyst speaks with an NAIA All-American gem.

A Villa Park native, St. Francis safety Scott Tumilty got to achieve a dream of his when he attended a local invite for the Bears on Apr. 9.

Tumilty is a two-time NAIA All-American with 5 career all-purpose touchdowns, 228 total tackles and 6 total interceptions. His production, special teams versatility and speed displayed on tape earned him an invitation to a local workout Chicago put on at NIU, where the Vikings also had representation in attendance. While he was there, he ran a 4.46 40-yard dash, placing him in...

SB Nation Mock Draft: Chicago Bears take Dallas Turner after a trade back

SB Nation Mock Draft: Chicago Bears take Dallas Turner after a trade back

The Bears need a pass rush, and Dallas Turner is a perfect fit.

The Chicago Bears are heading into the 2024 NFL Draft with one very obvious hole still on the roster: pass rusher. The Montez Sweat trade last year was fantastic, and he paid immediate dividends, but he’s just one player. The Bears need some flash from the opposite side, and that’s the direction I went with Chicago’s second first-round pick in the 2024 SB Nation Mock Draft.

But before doing so, I traded the ninth overall pick to the Las Vegas Raiders for their first-rounder (13th overall) and...

A Scout’s Take: What’s Next for the Bears Personnel Department in Draft Prep

A Scout’s Take: What’s Next for the Bears Personnel Department in Draft Prep

Greg Gabriel shares where the Bears likely are in their draft prep.

The NFL Draft is 11 days away, so what’s the next step for teams’ Personnel departments as they prepare for this year’s Draft?

I don’t know exactly how Ryan Poles and Company do their prep, but from my experience, their Draft Board will be just about set and will probably be completed by Wednesday. What’s different about this year is that the Chicago Bears currently have no picks after the fourth round. That does not mean their board will only be four rounds deep. The reason for that...

Chicago Bears begin a partnership with Levy to elevate game days

The Bears' long-term home may still be up in the air, but thanks to their new partnership with Levy, fans attending Soldier Field will receive world-class hospitality, innovative dining experiences, and a celebration of Chicago.

2024 Bears mock draft: Trades galore

WCG’s lead draft analyst shares his latest 7-round mock draft for the Bears in the 2024 NFL Draft.

It’s been too long. Time for a mock draft.

These last few weeks, many around me — on Windy City Gridiron, as well — have been getting into mock draft madness with the 2024 NFL Draft just a few weeks away. Though I’ve been busy writing up prospect interviews the last few weeks, I feel as though now is a perfect time to go all-in on everyone’s favorite form of easily digestible draft content.

The Bears currently only have four picks in...

Chicago Bears NFL Draft Day Trade Scenarios

Chicago Bears NFL Draft Day Trade Scenarios

Could you see any of these hypothetical trades going down?

Some “work” email threads are nothing but boring back-and-forths about the latest TPS Reports, but not our WCG email thread.

Earlier today, Josh shared some Chicago Bears draft day trade scenarios that he just threw together for fun, so we shared them on Twitter. But we also wanted to bring them to our WCG audience.

The Bears only have four picks, so a trade back at some point has to be on the table. However, this draft is also widely thought of as a top-heavy draft, so perhaps general manager...

Chicago Bears fill all the needs Mock Draft

The goal of this Bears mock draft was to fill all remaining needs on the roster, so that meant a couple of trade backs.

After presumably filling their quarterback need with the draft's first pick, the Chicago Bears are apparently weighing their options for the ninth pick between defensive end, offensive tackle, and wide receiver. General manager Ryan Poles said they plan to divide their staff into three teams to debate the best direction to take.

From the Bears' site.

“One team is going to talk about [why] the tackle position is the best to go after, [why] the...
