We're trying to figure out.
If they're going to use those picks, the first rounder and the two second rounders to do that and or fix, I don't know, offensive line.
There's just so many different directions they go.
Let me ask you this.
As we get into the second wave of free agency, is there an area where you feel like the Bears can improve through that avenue before we get to the draft?
Brett, I believe truly that this draft is bigger than last year's draft for Ryan Poles just because they have on offense everything they need in the quarterback and the head coach, the two most important things.
But they have not...
Not yet, at least under Ryan Poles.
And you just talked about it going back to 2005 with the draft and develop.
They have not been able to draft defensive linemen who have been stellar above average.
However you want to put it, there has not been a game changer that has been brought in by Ryan Poles.
Do you agree with that kind of assessment that this is bigger than last year because of the importance of that position?
I mean, just look at the last two Super Bowls.
It's definitely a step down, but I think it's a similar archetype of player.
And I think, again, in this system, it's a pretty seamless fit.
you're just not going to get quite as much, I would say, sturdiness as Dahlman brought.
Some of the improvements I mentioned with him in pass protection, I don't know that Bradbury has ever quite got to that point, although I do think last year that was the best year of Bradbury's career that I've seen.
So that's nice that he's playing at the level he did last year.
It's definitely kind of a
It was definitely a step up for him compared to 2024, especially, you know, the playoff games and stuff against the Rams.
