Lovie Smith: The truest Chicago Bear next to Halas, Butkis, Ditka, and Payton. Whether intentional or not, you made this happen for us! Thanks Lovie!!!
The same thing would have happened if the Texans had the first pick.. Houston would still get their guy Young and Carolina would trade the same haul with Chicago at 2 for Stroud..
@@JamesKP17847 People said the same thing about Fields. If the guy they take really is the guy, he will be able to prove it even in a bad situation, like Fields did.
Didn't you hear? The fan base has already determined that the first overall pick of BJ Stroung is the GOAT for 15+yrs and we already have the Lombardi in Charlotte. Top QB prospects always hit, that's what Varolina was missing these last couple years, a #1 pick QB. (/s)
I'm from Chicago and lived there for 22 of my 25 years. Just started watching and getting addicted to football 2 years ago, and now after a couple seasons of perusing, it's looking like I'm getting a reason to stake my flag in the turf of being a Bears fan.
Just do it bro. If you found the last 2 Bears seasons enough to become a fan, then you belong with us who have been suffering for a long time. Now, the future looks bright.
@MacDougal Thankfully I am a Boston Celtics fan too as being a Bears fan of 50 years has been heartbreaking.... but the new GM has been a Godsend and the new President will have deal done for new stadium in a year or so tops. Justin is electric now is the time to jump in
The bears will find a way to ruin all of this yrs picks. Don’t know how Bears fan always optimistic. They have had a bottom 3 front office the last 30 years. Always zigged when they should have zagged.
@@lucrative6477 Carolina wanted to offer 2 future 1st rounders, but the Bears wanted DJ Moore. Moore’s trade value was measured as a low end 1st round pick, which equals out to a 2025 1st rounder.
@@Jordan-Ramses To Be fair, NOBODY expected Russ Wilson to fall off like that. I hope for denver sake he bounces back. As a Bears fan though, I'm super happy.
@sidney Dent well, my point was that nobody knows yet. But as a Seahawks fan the last year and a half was painful. I thought Denver was making a mistake. I never expected it to be THAT bad but I didn't think it would be good. I think Russ will be better with Sean Peyton but not great.
looks like a clear win for the bears. but hey, if young or stroud, become a superstar, nobody will care after 2 years. hopefully they wont take anthony richardson!!!!!
The same thing would have happened if the Texans has the first pick.. Houston would still get their guy Young and Carolina would trade the same haul with Chicago at 2 for Stroud..
I love how much passion Rich has for the NFL, he also knows how much we all love football too that we immediately want to hear Rich's reaction to the news! Honestly I kinda love when Rich or Mike Florio fly solo, there's a lot less wasted words/breath, it's just straight to the juicy goodness.
The bears WR room with Mooney, Moore, and Claypool is looking decent. They could still draft a gem of a WR in the 4th and really fill out their WR group 👏🏾
Just shows you how Chris Ballard the GM of the Colts, isn't aggressive at all. Now the Colts won't get a franchise QB. Indy fans are tired of not having a decent team
This is called SUCCESS no Bears fan or Bears media is equipped to understand this or know this myself included :D. Poles CRUSHED it as Panthers will be a top 10 pick next year with a rooike QB or Baker for the first 8. An the 2nd round pick in 2025 is just a nice trade chip or pick to use as is. Absolutely amazing. WR Moore made this THEFT to me.
As a Canuck and a Steelers fan, I feel you. But the guy had some diva qualities, I gotta say. But we got the #32 pick for him, which is normally the last pick of the first round....Thanks Lovie
@@braddougan1919 Really? Seems like a lot to me. Bears moved down only 8 picks and got another 1st from a potentially bad team. 2 2nds, plus a legit #1 wr. If it was picks only, I'd say it was fair. But Moore tipped the scale to Bears imo.
@@braddougan1919 I wasn’t upset with the draft picks either. We basically swapped 2023 first round picks and only gave up one first round pick in 2024, plus a couple of second round picks. We still have one of our 2023 second round picks & it’s the early second round pickHowever, losing DJ (a first round pick & our #1 WR) absolutely broke my heart. That’s the only part of this trade that disappointed me. I pray that we can bring in a high quality WR either as a vet or rookie in the second round. We shall see. Keep Pounding and many blessings!!!
If it was picks only, I'd say it was a fair trade. Adding Moore tips the scale to Bears. You just took away a #1 WR for the incoming rookie. Now you're gonna have to find his replacement, but you don't have draft picks in 1st 2 rds the next 2 yrs
That’s what is so perplexing to me. Carolina needed a new QB but gave away their best playmaker. So you are right the Bears will likely have a top 5 from Carolina next year. God forbid we aren’t much better we may have our own as well.
I’m hoping it works out for the panthers but I don’t see it now. Are they going after Stroud over Young or god forbid take Richardson #1. I guess no matter who it is, they’re in for a rough season.
Lets Go Hawks, this trade possibly opened up a great opportunity for one of our top priorities for a defense elite player. And very exciting for Chicago wow, watch out 🤙🏽
Lol, I always loved Lovie Smith and hated when they let him go. That being said, big ol' hug to Lovie for helping us stick the #1 pick. Couldn't have done done it without you.
If the QB picked is a franchise guy then its a win for both sides. Love it for my panthers gonna get our franchise guy and our staff is set up to coach up a young QB
This was my prediction. I thought they would trade back to either 7 or 9, get more picks and then draft a LT. The other option would be to overpay Orlando Brown which I wouldn't do.
Lovie Smith did the Bears a solid for sure.
The Bears fanbase will always love that man 😂
@@MrNutt_ Definitely. He was a victim of his own success.
Bears should honor him at soldier field next year or something. This is all thanks to him.
Presents galore from the guy with the Santa Klaus beard
Good for both teams. Carolina giving one pick a year doesn't hurt them badly.
Lovie Smith: The truest Chicago Bear next to Halas, Butkis, Ditka, and Payton. Whether intentional or not, you made this happen for us! Thanks Lovie!!!
I love Lovie smith. The guy took us to the superbowl and was a first class person. I also love this trade, way to go poles.
The same thing would have happened if the Texans had the first pick.. Houston would still get their guy Young and Carolina would trade the same haul with Chicago at 2 for Stroud..
Lovie Smith could possibly be the reason Chicago goes to the Superbowl again if everything plays out
That new panthers QB better be a superstar cause otherwise the Panthers are gonna struggle big time for a while. Congrats to the Bears.
Whatever qb they draft is more than likely going to fail with how bad of a situation Carolina is

Some haters in here. Lol
@@daundisputedtake7238 I freely admit it, yea. I hate this trade. It could work out but I tonight I hate it.
Damn good trade for the Bears.
As a fan of America's Actual Team (Packers, obviously...owned by the fans, so indisputable) I sadly agree.
@@randomgrinn no
Damn good trade for the panthers. CJ STROUD WELCOME TO PANTHER NATION
@@randomgrinn lol no one considers the peggers a team, lol, esp not America's team lol

You missed a lot of heart ache.
@Michael Coffey coming from a fellow celtics-bears fan I 100% agree
Yes be bears also be a bulls fan pat bev goated af.
Love how he went straight for the front facing. Nothing fancy, no desk... more of this please. It's just so sincere and real
Love this trade. If the Bears can get 2 O linemen and at least 1 D line in free agency, they can trade down again or just pick best available.
Hargrave, mcglinche and Ben powers
Free agency is huge. They only need to sign Orlando Brown. And a Top QB to backup Justin Fields would also improve the number 9 pick value.
At that point just draft Jsn or Bijan at 9
Rich IS the superhero we need.
He takes about football in a different tone than the others.
How is he a hero ?
Not my hero
Your expectations are way too low.
Potentially good for both. Keep pounding!
I like this instant reaction Rich
And boom goes the dynamite!
This is a W for Chicago, for once.
Rich Eisen is a treasure. His excitement for both Chicago and my Panthers is beautiful to watch
Quick reaction, good content RE. Thank you for filming horizontal 👍
Yes!!! Finally a legit #1 WR for the Bears! No matter what happens with the 2 #1 picks and 2 #2 picks, we have a guaranteed superstar! LFG!!!
I mean not really a super good receiver but yeah!
DJ is not a superstar. I'm a Bears fan, but I'm not crazy. He's a decent WR when he's healthy, not an elite one.
He’s a solid wr. Low end #1 high end #2 type of guy. To only get 1 future first seems crazy for the first overall pick.
The bears will find a way to ruin all of this yrs picks. Don’t know how Bears fan always optimistic. They have had a bottom 3 front office the last 30 years. Always zigged when they should have zagged.

Huge for us!!!! Love you rich!!! Awesome reaction video!!
I was upset that the Pack didn't go in for Moore last season. Congrats Bears fans, this is great for you guys.
They offered a 1st for moore last year look back at jay Glazer's tweet in Nov
I think this was one of those trades that fantasy football folks crave and rarely get. Both sides can feel good. Well done Bears and Panthers.
The Broncos felt great about their trade last year. They always say it's a win for both teams but it almost never is.
@@Jordan-Ramses To Be fair, NOBODY expected Russ Wilson to fall off like that. I hope for denver sake he bounces back. As a Bears fan though, I'm super happy.

The panthers lost so bad not even close
We got taken for a ride just to get the top spot in a so so draft. It's dumb
Love it! Thank you Lovie Smith 🙏
As a seahawk fan im excited that we gonna get one of the top 2 defensive players in the draft
Yep, Anderson or Carter. Let's go.
Seattle is a winner as well. Sending flowers to Chicago bears offices lol
As a Panthers fan…I’m scared 😭WTf just happened
What did you guys get from the CMC trade?
Scared of having first overall pick? Good problem to have
looks like a clear win for the bears. but hey, if young or stroud, become a superstar, nobody will care after 2 years. hopefully they wont take anthony richardson!!!!!
scared? what's wrong with you? with the pick, go get yourself a good QB!
CJ Stroud just happened
Just to say love the show rich. Would enjoy seeing more of these instant reactions. Thanks from the uk 🇬🇧
Best thing to happen to the Bears in a long, long time!
Rich, when you say "Bears" at 3:07, I thought you were gonna pull a Dennis Green! "The Bears are who we thought they were!"
Lookin' fresh AF Rich! And I'm HYPED as a Bears fan!
Lovie is a legend in Chicago forever
The same thing would have happened if the Texans has the first pick.. Houston would still get their guy Young and Carolina would trade the same haul with Chicago at 2 for Stroud..
As a Panther Fan, the Bears 🐻 are legit going to be a Huge Threat for the coming yrs
haha.. it's the Bears.. they'll screw up and stink like they usually do
@@voltrono4166 thank you. let's not get their hopes up
@@voltrono4166 bears don’t usually stink. Usually an 8-8 team. 12-4 3 years ago
@Voltrono in the past, yes. But the new GM Ryan Poles knows whats he's doing. My Bears are gonna be legit
@voltrono what a lazy uneducated response.
DJ Moore underrated - what a play by Da Bears
🐻 ↕️ in Poles we trust
I'm so glad Rich loves this trade. His opinion means a lot
Rich going overtime with it. Yes sir!!!!
Great move 🐻

Florio is a dunce
Hopefully it works out for both of us, as a panthers fan though I think this might be a little to much.
yep.
Rich breaking news from some random hallway. Thank you sir.
He had me at fresh cut moving that hair back 🤣🤣💀💀💀
The bears WR room with Mooney, Moore, and Claypool is looking decent. They could still draft a gem of a WR in the 4th and really fill out their WR group 👏🏾
I love your enthusiasm.
Just shows you how Chris Ballard the GM of the Colts, isn't aggressive at all. Now the Colts won't get a franchise QB. Indy fans are tired of not having a decent team
The Lovie reminder, Chefs kiss!
Great trade! And good to mention Lovie Smith in all this. He shouldn't have to pay for dinner in Chicago for the rest of his life.

The Bears' offense is going to be KILLER for years to come!
As a Steelers fan, I'm really going miss Claypool.
As a Steelers fan, I’m not
That o line still needs some work but things look promising for Chicago's offense... that defense looks atrocious tho.
Poles should've re-signed James Daniels, tho... 😒

that is a slick looking cut, my friend, very nice.
Look at that fresh cut. Shout out to Rich for always looking fresh
Well said rich. Love the hairdo 😂 Bear down 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻
Thank you Rich for being the only one to spin the Panthers move in a positive way
Chicago loves Lovie!!! Still our coach!! The last coach to take us to the Superbowl
We got their #1 this year as well!

He does play by play pretty well too.
wow, lets go. Im a fan of Fields. I'm excited. lets hope they draft the right ones
Thanks Mr Poles good young wide out and 2 ones and 2 twos good job
Thank you Lovie!!!

Why does there always have to be winners and losers? This was a good trade for both sides

Oh, and thanks for McBean.
Good luck this coming year.

Love the fresh cut remark
We love you Lovie!
I agree that this was a win for both teams.
Lovie is definitely love ….he always loved the Bears and even stayed close to Chicago by coaching
when do these trades ever work for the team moving up?
bears carolina 2024 pick may be a 1-5 top pick
Thanks for doing this impromptu video for us Rich. Huge draft news indeed. Is it the end of April yet?!
Great job Lovie Smith!!!
Nice cut Rich, I see you!
The first 25 seconds of this sounded like Negan from TWD was delivering this breaking news
there should be Lovie Smith statue at Arlington. ;-)
🔥🔥🔥 Fire Cut Rich
This was my prediction. I thought they would trade back to either 7 or 9, get more picks and then draft a LT. The other option would be to overpay Orlando Brown which I wouldn't do.
Justin Fields going to have a breakout season this year. Still think their defense will stink, but the offense should be pretty good!
Thats crazy Rich. Thanks for the update ! Good for the Bears....not so sure for the Panthers as Moore is a stud...:0
I think the panthers go for Anthony Richardson. But you the real mvp rich.
ugh.. stop drinking the combine kool-aid.

Run Rich Run!
As a Saints fan, I'm happy with this trade. The Panthers gave up a TON to get it. SWEET!
What has NO done lately?
@@joeclaridy .... how about a qb..... a top ten QB
You won't be glad if they land a franchise QB though.
Okay Rich I see you with the fresh cut
How many first round QBs does Carolina have now?
at this time, none are signed
Thank you for carter bears! Love the seahawks
I would rather have Anderson
Not me. We could not stop the run at all we need interior help. Pass rush up the middle is more valuable imho
Thank u Lovie
Build Lovie a statue in Chicago.
I love all the bears moves. Especially giving the Steelers the 32nd pick for Chase Claypool. STEELERS NATION!!!!
Fresh cut? 😂 You the best man 👍🏽
I haven't been keeping up since the Super Bowl and Pro Bowl, but this is cool to know who the number one draft pick is.
