Here's the headline from me.

I'll just give it to you right away.

The position that I am most comfortable with the Chicago Bears taking in the draft is the safety position.

And I get where people are coming from when they're saying, man, do you really want to draft what is considered to be in the NFL a non-premium position, the safety position?

Do you want to use that at number 25 overall in a draft?

And, you know, obviously you are adding that to the guy that you just paid in Kobe Bryant, so that's a lot of resources in the position.

But there is a need for that position, and we know that Dennis Allen works well with his safety.

So I am comfortable, very comfortable, and that's not sexy to say, comfortable with either Dylan Thienemann, the safety out of Oregon, or...

Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, the safety out of Toledo.

So I feel like it's a little bit conservative on my part, but here's the why on why I am less comfortable with defensive line or edges.

Maybe some of it is polls past and his history and all of that, but in the first round in particular, I am not comfortable with edge or defensive linemen just because of...

The last seven or eight years are going back to, I went back to 2017, from 2025 all the way back to 2017.

And looking at guys, edges I'll start with, that were taken between 20 and into the 30s.

So the Bears are picking 25th.

Just to see what the hit rate was in general.

Let me give you a few names here.

Thank you for watching.

In 2024, remember when we were all excited about Chop Robinson?

I was excited about Chop Robinson.

He was the 21st pick in 2024.
