But it's a deep, deep group with guys coming in all shapes and sizes.

So you've got that on the edge.

It's a solid draft, I think, for interior defensive linemen.

And it's not as deep there, but there's some choices, and there might be a –

cluster of them available there around 25 for the bears to pick from.

If that's kind of how they wanted to start the draft out with an interior defensive lineman, but yeah, they're, they're hopeful that those injured guys will be in the mix in 2026, but by no means do I expect them to, uh, sort of lean into that as the, uh, key role for what was, uh,

missing on that defense up front.

They know they've got to add some talent and some more depth to that defensive front.

Yeah, I think...

Yeah, the two position groups that jump out to me just based on you look at the depth chart because with their cap situation, it's a little difficult to, hey, well, they could upgrade here.

Well, yeah, that's a great conversation about upgrading at a certain position, but they've got blank spaces they have to fill first.

So I'm thinking about safety, and I'm thinking about linebacker.

I do not expect Tremaine Edmonds to be on the roster next season, and speed is not a question for him.

he moves extremely well, especially for a guy with his size at that position.

But I think we all know that TJ Edwards, that's, that's not his strength, right?

That's when he's a hundred percent healthy, you're not talking about his speed.

You're talking about his instincts, his intelligence, being in the right place at the right time, things of that nature.

So they probably want to get a little bit faster, uh,

in the secondary and at the linebacker position.

And I wouldn't disagree with them, although it didn't seem to me like a glaring problem for them.
