Chicago Bears "What If" Mock Draft

- Are we "mock drafted" out yet?
I love doing the mock drafts... And I appreciate you guys' enthusiasm as well.
What happens if the Bears are presented with a player at number 10 that they weren't expecting to be there? For whatever reason... Maybe Abdul Carter's misdemeanor assault charge would sway some GM's, or his size?
Mock Drafts is what we do... So let's have some fun with this one and take some players that might not be there by my estimation, but you never really do know, right?
Breaking down this offseason and what it would make this team look like in the end with taking moves Ryan Poles would do into account.
This version we're going to hit some home runs in free agency as well...

Character concerns are why Jalen Carter dropped and the Bears passed on him. So, those things do happen. If either Mason Graham or Abdul Carter somehow dropped to 10, I'd be ecstatic otherwise, I'm more in favor of the Bears trading down to the 15 to 21 pick range for additional day 2 capital.....assuming the Bears could find a trading partner..
Top 11 have a much higher chance to become something (pro bowl etc) than 12-and further do. Gotta just stick in there and get a blue chip player, odds and stats show it
@@ndehm10thank you Bears fans always want to be sneaky and then complain about not having quality players
Loyal watcher, love your takes. This is the first time I've noticed a factual mistake: Rutgers is in the Big Ten, finished middle of the pack, went to a bowl game, most consider the Big Ten the strongest conference this year, so Hollin Pierce looks even stronger given this background.
Yeah, I don't know why I had them in the ACC, something I should've fact checked. That was a casual in the moment comment I didn't research, but genuinely didn't remember Rutgers in the Big 10.
That's kinda wild they are actually
@@Beardownsportsterrapins disrespect is wild 😔😔
Thor looks mean, I'll take him. Liking the drafts! Please keep them coming. More the better!
🤣
I want free agency to get here ASAP so we can see how the draft really might shake out. I'm itching for March 13th
I’d take him just for the name alone
Keep em coming bro! Really appreciate the realistic probabilities of your mocks. The detail and effort you put into all of your videos really shows.
Thanks! I'm just trying to make the best Bears content I can! 🐻⬇️
Adam I have been tuning in to help the channel as much as I can. Keep up the videos, these are my jam.
Appreciate the support! 🐻⬇️
Adam, love these. They increase my knowledge of draft prospects.
Appreciate that
Great show Adam. This draft is perfect. Really hope Skatebo becomes a bear.
Excellent draft
Adam always working. Best Bear info. Oh you live in Vegas. My daughter went to UNLV and stayed out there. Works as a guidance councilor at a Christian school and teaches at UNLV. I love Vegas. Been over 30 times. My money is in a lot of machines out there. 🎉🎉🎉
That's awesome!!
We call the machines and tables our state tax. I don't donate much unless a friend comes into town.

Ben Johnson and Dennis Allen hired , I’m encouraged , and it’s great they can call focus on post season college scouting for senior bowl, East/ west, combine…perfect! I think due to the record this past season, Ian Cunningham will stay (a prospective team is more likely to want to hire from a winning program! Likely next year we will be just that)
Thanks and have a great weekend, Adam 🍻🍻 🐻⬇🏈
Same to you
🐻⬇️
Cam Skattebo with Ben Johnson running the show? Sign me up! Also, the book on Poles when it comes to drafting players is he likes players with length. One of the reasons cited for his trade up to get Austin Booker was because of his long arms.
Right?!?
That would be awesome, then combine it with Swift and Wheeler and I'd be stoked for that show
Listening to your pics and why you think things fall the way they do.
Do a video on the Bears trading down into the 15 - 19 pick range. I think the draft is deep and picking up additional draft capital will allow the Bears to fill more holes with higher quality players. IMHO. 🐻🔽
i really hope we get keenan back. caleb loves playing with him and having all the talent for johnson to play with is really enticing to me and i would be willing to pay for a safe keenan than joshua palmer
Never to many mock drafts my guy!!!!!! Doing a great job too.
Thanks, appreciate the support! 🐻⬇️
When you mentioned reddy steward I got so pissed. Man he is so good imo. From college to those 15 snaps he played I can see so much potential and now I believe he’s on a rival team in the Vikings.
Yeah, another big mistake by the front office. That one could come back to haunt us
Hey Adam! I throw the "thumb" up for all your vids! Great work! Not psyched to hear about the possible future membership fee..😔
No no no, not required membership.
Just looking at those things where people can support if they want to.
No stress, appreciate you tuning in
Adam always working. Best Bear info.
I appreciate that
I try to bring something different and a fresh perspective.
Thanks for tuning in 🐻⬇️
I would love that draft!!
LOADED UP ‼️🐻⬇️
looks good Adam
Nice Take. Trey Smith is staying with Chiefs. You can't cut Bates we lost a asset to acquire him. He can play when healthy. We can put all injuries in a vacum.
I think Keenan Allen likes playing with Caleb and helps coach him up.And I think Caleb Williams likes playing with Keenan Allen.Therefore I believe that keenan allen would take a team friendly deal
I hope so! That would be ideal. Hopefully Poles is willing to part ways with dead weight Ryan Bates to do so
What’s your take on just drafting James pierce at 10, for me he’s a clear edge 2 in the class and seems a lot more likely than waiting for Carter to fall to ten. Love the vids man!
All in on that, 100%
I wouldn't complain one bit
You should be on the Bears new analytics team.
I lean taking oline help in round 1 but if carter is there u cant pass him up. Would immediatelly change the defense. As long as we get big boys on both lines on like 4 of our picks ill be happy. Rb in the first round is a cherry on top pick that a chiefs or lions can make when u have a stacked roster. Problem is we are missing the ice cream and banana of this sundae. Foundational pieces that make everything work. We arent in a place to make that pick.
So true Adam. DJ Moore is not going anywhere unless it’s for the top 5 pick and that’s still up for debate
6:46 Adam I was thinking the whole time that the Raiders would pick up Arthur Smith and Fields tags along with him read my mind
It logically makes sense.
Cheaper head coach with experience and a bridge QB that could prove himself
Hey Adam, Rutgers is in the BIG 10 LOL!
So I've been told
Now you guys can't accuse me of being Big 10 bias 🤣
@Beardownsports I never would!
Do a video on possible staff for Ben or Mike
My latest 3 rd mock resulted in, 10. Mason Graham DT, at 39 traded back for 46 & 116, at 41 Princely Umanmielen
EDGE, at 46 Donovan Jackson OG, at Kenneth Grant DT. The best teams are built inside out. I am totally onboard with re-signing Teven Jenkins and Coleman Shelton.
No…. Shelton cannot return
Who you replacing Coleman Shelton with then? He's the best free agent there is and even if we draft a starter, we need a solid backup.
Signing Shelton should be a priority
@@Beardownsports okay, maybe we don’t need a replacement we just need to see wayyyyyy less him getting blown onto his butt… you’re right
@@Beardownsports we need Coleman Shelton to replace Coleman Shelton😂😂
@9-2-Cold name anyone better than him?
10th ranked center this year, equal in the pass and run, but exceptional at neither.
Sign him and draft one of the highest centers in the draft in the 3rd round and best man starts.
WOW Micah Parsons in free agency and then Abdul Carter is a crazy prediction, Adam! (I haven't watched I am just making up lies like ESPN (Disney) and Raiders fans).
😂😂😂 BEAR DOWN Karl!
Bring em all in!
My top 4 coaching rank in order.
1. Ben Johnson
2. Todd Monken
3. Pete Carroll
4. Mike McCarthy
I'm good with this
Continued road of mediocrity list.
@ tell us who you think should coach the Bears that are available this year?
@@brentmorgan7736 I've openly said I want a different path than we've taken. I don't care about proven coaches. I showed the graph of play calling efficiency last week.
-Ben Johnson
-Joe Brady
-Todd Monken
I'm willing to give the most qualified one after the candidate interviews. I want amazing coordinators for once though.
@@brentmorgan7736 An experienced head coach. One who makes sure all three phases of the game are operating at their best. Not Nagy and not Flues. Each wanted to head coach their specialty and let the other coaches do their thing. Their teams were groups of three but not one. Pete and MCCarthy yes. Monken probably. BJ much less experience.
If you could pull this off-season scenario off, the Bears would win 12+ games next year. That's how good it is.
It's a pipe dream, but would be amazing!
Does the cap amount include the cap going up? Or this is just going at what it is now?
Yes, increased cap as projected
Abdul Carter is in everybody’s top five draft board. I haven’t seen them fall anywhere close to 10. I don’t think one misdemeanor is going to take away from how ferocious that man is on the field. Being a Notre Dame fan I saw that first hand.
I agree completely
A man can dream though and this is my dream pick
Bears didnt draft Carter....so they wont draft Carter either 😂
Trade down to get Carter.
Auto-rec for a Cam Skattebo draft. I don't care what else we do, as long as we get CAM SKATTEBO!
Adam just curious as to how you became a Chicago Bears fan being from Utah and living in Vegas. I ask because people have been giving Barstool Big Cat shit for being from Massachusetts “secretly” while being a Bears fan. Idc where a guy is from, we can root for whoever we want. I am from the Southside of Chicago, I am Bears fan and Ohio State Buckeyes fan since I was a kid. I became a fan of college football when Reggie Bush won the heisman. And around that time is when I first saw the Buckeyes play. I have been a fan of them ever since the day.
They're giving Big Cat crap for lying about it. He was a fan of Boston sports growing up and switched and he said he was always a Chicago fan.
(I don't care either way, that's just why people are calling him a fraud)
Where I grew up in the 80's & 90's on the farm, national TV was different. The big two were WGN and TBS. We gravitated to the Cubs and I played 2B because of Ryan Sandberg. My brother is 7 years older and was old enough to remember the 85 Bears and he's my idol, so we both got into the Cubs and Bears hard. Been die hard fans our whole life (unfortunately... Other than 2016 Cubs)
I'm a Utah Jazz fan so I can't even claim I enjoyed the Bills Championships, and I'm a Vegas Golden Knights Hockey fan. Big sports fan all around, but biggest focus on Da Bears, which is why I started this podcast
@@Beardownsportsthat’s a super cool story bro. Bear Down 🧸👇

Shoutout Utah, I'm in SLC.
My family is all still there. Southern Utah by the Richfield area (farming & mining communities)
@Beardownsports I'm up north in Kaysville. Headed down to St.George for a soccer tournament next month.
I'm not big on Carter unless we're changing scheme again. He's more of a 3-4 olb to me
Abdul Carter is bigger than Micah Parsons. Abdul Carter will dominate this league whether he's in a 3-4 or a 4-3. He absolutely knows how to play with knuckles in the dirt
Well Done.. I think Keenan Alan is coming back
I think there's a strong possibility of that too. I just hope it's on a value contract
I would rather trade more of our later picks to move up for quality over quantity. We are not in a developmental situation yet and need quality now. Trade our later picks to move up like you did in the 3rd. Instead of ending up with 3 or 4 starters/rotational players and 2 hopefuls and 6 projects, go for 4 to 6 starters/rotational players and 1 project. With your free agent signings and our resignings you need a starting/developing center, a guard, a DT, an edge. You also then need a swing tackle, a safety and a RB of fairly high quality. We have projects and developmental people already. I would resign Pryor over keeping Bates. To me a test for Poles is admitting when a thought like Bates doesn't work out and moving on.
7:47 Ohhhhh snap, your speculation....gee wish I hadn't paused then bet my house on Ben coming to Chicago 😂.
Take it to your Bookie
Ben will be a Bear
@Beardownsports I'm right there with you Adam, I was just trying to be funny.
@@IamPlank1920 I love it, I was playing into your humor 🐻⬇️
I want someone to recreate this in madden lol
Rutgers is in the Big Ten
Lol
Oh damn... For some reason I was thinking they were in the ACC
Bottom dwellers of the Big 10 👀🫣
I disagree, if Raiders offer a long term deal like Gruden had. I think McCarthy got overblown. Pete Carroll is the guy to me. Hurry up before 49ers steal Saleh. Would love to come on and give the 100 reasons Pete should get this job 😅
Salah to the Niners already seems like a done deal... But if I'm Salah, that situation isn't nearly as enticing as the Bears spot.
Hopefully Ben Johnson and Robert Salah can work well together
@Beardownsports well, the report was Pete Carroll and Robert Saleh wanted to come to Chicago together so... 🤷 Idk from there.
@knowledgeuntamed9177 "Reports" mean jack squat to me this time of year.
I'm 100% in the belief Ben Johnson is our head coach and everything else is smoke screens and blah blah blah
@Beardownsports You was right!!! My argument more was... I think McCarthy was the No 2 guy....until the interview 🤣🤷💯. The fact they tried to trade for Tomlin not even an Hour after McCarthy left 🤣🤣🤣💯 It says to me they said F*** No McCarthy isn't the guy. Ownership has never paid more than 6mil a year. They are gonna give the DC that 🤣💯 100mil for Ben Johnson. That night they realized what you said. No backup plan. 100% in.
yes you have to keep Bates etc., because that is Poles
Might never play a snap, but hey, we have him
@@Beardownsports I do think that a Monken or Johnson or McCarthy or even Brady would push out the dead wood though. Poles has been coveting his free losing seasons and polishing his number of picks and cap space like it’s a badge of achievement when it’s just the result of losing bad and picking backups. He has to start hitting on these big picks in a Nationally recognized way. Not just on draft day but one or two years into a career. He has a lot of climbing to do. Except for Caleb, his big pics have all missed games (some lots) and had ups and downs. Nobody has proved to be a difference maker except Brisker and he’s spent a lot of time unavailable. His big 2 the year of His number 1 OT are one ‘pretty good’ and one ‘pretty bust’ plus his RB choices have been a failure, along with Eberflus CB gem from Florida..of Hail Mary fame …the point is, we can’t keep spreading these pieces around with excuses and call it a rebuild NFL contender. It’s the kind of messes that rookie GM’s make.
Skatebo has very similar traits to David Montgomery imo
Even better center of balance to me too. Won't go down on that first hit
Rutgers is a Big10 school.
If I miss on Kaleb Johnson I draft cam skatteboooooo
I think this scenario doesn’t have enough oline value this to me would not be the best scenario for Caleb imo.
Im passing on skattabo. I dont want a RB with concussion history out of college
Makes sense. BEAR DOWN BRO ANTMAS!
@@IamPlank1920 🐻⬇️ Plank bro!!
Good for you not taking the gambling money. I worry for kids growing up where every sports talk show breaks down what bets to place
Yeah, people can get ruined by it
These industries are this big by people winning all their money from them
5,6,7 develop picks. Do the mock trading up every pick. Even if just get three players. Hopefully pro bowlers. Then kill undrafted free agency They be a prime destination with taking just three or four in draft. Bears are severely lacking stars. !!!! Bunch of average players makes a average team. Thanks.
ASU fan ,draft Cameron Skattebo!!!!!! 👊😈🔱👊🐻👇
Adam Mason looks like Cam Skettebo
Do I?
Maybe I should suit up 🤣
I did run a 4.4 40 in my prime
Collin Johnson & Tyler Scott don't matter, they don't use them anyway.
They definitely matter lmao when we don’t have Keenan they’ll rotate
you and rome odunze are brothers.. from utah and ended up in vegas...
Exactly!!! And I know the Bunnels (his grandparents. Not well, but I know of them, ya know).
Now you know why I like Rome so much
@@Beardownsports bro... i love your content. keep up the awesome work but you still remind me of cam skateboo. haha
@@mike-e3k lol, a couple people are saying this 🤣
Hopefully he becomes a Bear and I can meet him one day 🤞🏼
Pat Bryant wr3
Great guy for not taking Sportsbook $.
Bro, Rutgers is in the Big 10.
Everyone is letting me know 🤣
Skataboo (probably not spelled right) is a 5th rounder at best. Bears better not use a 3rd rounder on him
Wanna bet?
Not necessarily that the Bears will, but where Skattebo goes?
@ let’s do it! His style and speed doesn’t match the type of runner he is. Speed is going to cost him a couple rounds.
No way Abdul Carter falls to us at 10. Skattebo would be awesome for the Bears but at 100 is a stretch. We need Oline especially if Ben Johnson is our HC. The Lions built their Oline first and Johnson will want the same thing. Look at the league and the best head coaches build the Oline. Lions, Chargers, etc. Championships have the same equation. Run the ball, play action passing, stop the run and sack the QB. All of that starts up front.
Todd monken
This seems more like a "dream" draft than a "what if" mock draft. Though, I'm not as big a Cam Skattebo fan as you are. He's way too slow and won't be as effective in the NFL with better tackling. So, there are a number of other RB's worth taking later. So, with the Skattebo pick that's where Wilson is more realistically selected. Than with that pick you used on Wilson, the RB selected is either DJ Giddens or Devin Neal.
Only other comment on this video, would be to resign Matt Pryor and cut Ryan Bates. This particular scenario you've done many times before.
Look at how Matt Pryor did next to Darnell Wright and how he did without Wright.
Not good.
Maybe I need to highlight that.
Love this draft.
Dont think Carter will be available at 10.
Everett did absolutely nothing for this team him or Lewis ! Everett should be one of the first to go!
I agree
I just feel like poles is the type that won't do that
@Beardownsports you're right about that. Letting Reddy Steward walk was a mistake, especially to the Vikings. Poles hears about talent, but he's blind when it comes to seeing it.🫡👊🐻👇
Who would give , an whitch picks fer DJ Moore
We ain't trading DJ 🙄 😮💨
BURDEN III
I like Luther Burden
Big time potential
@ drafts every year are sad cause there’s players like Luther that we just know the bears won’t even look at :/
@9-2-Cold but we also can't this year with how bad we need trenches. I wish we could, but this last year showed us how bad we need protection
@ yeah it’s true, ya know man… ima bear fan in Green Bay, I live bout 6 minutes from the stadium and I train regularly across the street from lambeau…. I can’t talk to nobody about the bears…. I really appreciate you taking the time to talk football thru the avenue of online media… thanks man… and yeah, I just honestly don’t see anybody other than will campbell or that OSU kid being worth that spot… it’s like we got Jenkins past the 1st round and Jones (I don’t think Shelton was a first rounder) just Wright…. So idk, I just feel like we will end up picking the wrong guy unless we take like burden or Pearce, or will Campbell… I think he’s gunna flourish in the league as well
Skattaboo
Looks like Cunningham is staying....
Yeah, it's possible he could still get an interview elsewhere, but the Titans are going with the Chiefs executive, Mike Borgonzi
Resign Allen 100%
If halfassing it was a draft board it would be this one 😂😂, I mean he made an entire draft about depth, used majority of cap space on players we follow up with drafting the same positions! Also bro clearly only knows big ten football my goodness this one is horrible
Bates probably can’t pass a physical, Everett….. my mom would have done a better job than he did (she is 84)
Everyone else….👍let’s see what happens. Oh a yes Ben Johnson will be new HC….🐻👇🏼
Worst time of the NFL year. Nobody know how player will work out in the NFL. I would never give Teven 13 million. He only plays around 12 games a season.
A Million a game for Tev's talent is an absolute steal. When you post it like that u may be severely undervaluing what we give him
Great Title , “ What If “ Just think , “ What If “ The Bears had an Ownership of the Team cared about Winning “ What If “ They made good choices in Free Agency . “What If “ They made Better Draft Picks. “ What If “ They made the right choices on the Coaching Staff . Then Just Maybe the Bears could win more games than they Lose . And don’t forget “ What If “ Poles found a good player with his Value Signings . And all this Offseason Click Bait Bull Shit Rumors . Then maybe , Just Maybe the Bears might win more games than they Lose ?
You and swiftey are only i trust. C.b.now is a joke,always pushing a narrative.
DJ Moore needs to go! He quit on his team.
You really think that's what happened?
I feel like he never stopped playing but things got very frustrating
@Beardownsports He walked off the field during a live play. His attitude really wasn't good all year. DJ is a good player but I personally believe most of issues were because his buddy was gone which is absolutely ridiculous. His yardage was down because he didn't break as many tackles and the blocking was suspect. Regardless, you don't walk off the field in the middle of a play!
@Spareparts33 he was injured and thought the play was over.
Best look, no
But it was taken way out of context
It’s not boredom that makes us want to trade our 100m WR…. It’s the lack of effort…. Running routes half speed, pouting, walked off the field once in the middle of a live play. I loved him last year but he shit the bed this year after he got 100m.
No we just don’t like DJ Moore’s attitude…. Laying around on the field and sh*t and dropping his head and throwing up his hands… can’t stand that
More narratives caused by our garbage media. Come on...
@ no bro, this is ME TALKING
focus on offense line during free agency, then draft:
1. DE
2. TE
3. WR
4. RB
5. DT
6. TE
7. LB
8. S.
There's wayyyyyy too many game changes for IOL between 30-100 in this draft to pass up on it
Hell no.
@@Beardownsports well, free agency is before the draft, & fixing the offensive line should be top priority.
If the draft came before free agency, then I would totally agree with you.
@@johnbrennan4449 who fixes the O line in this free agency? Super weak year and super strong 2nd/3rd round O line in this draft
@Beardownsports well, Poles, or his replacement, if he is eventually fired, as he richly deserves to be, should try to sign any & all available free agent offensive linemen who don't suck (most current Bears free agents) & are not injury prone (Teven Jenkins).
Wtf you smoking. Stop just stop no way any of this happens
