The reason why the Ravens were in on it is because, boy, you think the Bears are bad at drafting developing edges.

Look at the Ravens graveyard since, you know, basically they let Zedaria Smith and Matthew Judon walk out the door.

They have consistently had to bring in older edges in Baltimore to fix their problem.

And Trey Hendrickson was their this year solution to that.

But like they were in on it for the same reason, like both of these teams, they're just like, God, we can't.

We can't get a guy and some franchise franchises are very good at that.

You know, Chiefs got Chris Jones in the second round.

Pittsburgh got T.J.

Watt late in the first round.

You know, Houston is consistently found edge rusher.

I mean, even Will Anderson is a top five pick, but like they've consistently found other pass rushers through other means that don't cost a high first round pick.

The Bears just haven't been able to do it basically since the Khalil Mack era.

And we're we're almost approaching a decade since that 2018 defense.

Like I know time has flown, but it's been a while.

So I think Ryan, I think he understands the pressure to just finally nail getting a pass rush.

I think he's going to throw as many resources at it as he needs to in order to finally get it done.

Brett, the fixer for everything, any hole that the Bears might have going forward, in theory, is the quarterback, is Caleb Williams.

We all know that good, great, elite quarterbacks clean everything up.

The question is, Brett, I'm just wondering, from your film review throughout the season, what do you think about Caleb Williams right now and the trajectory that he is on?

So you saw the progression from the start of the year to the end of the year as far as like Ben Johnson's chosen style of offense.
