Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Nick Baumgardner: Bears are in '1st-world problems' tier heading into NFL Draft

It reminds me a little bit of a couple years ago, or maybe it was last year, the running back class was so deep that it was like, just wait, take your time, see what happens.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

I think it was last year because the Bears ended up doing it.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

They waited and got Kalmanunga.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Nick Baumgardner: Bears are in '1st-world problems' tier heading into NFL Draft

This is a lot like that.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Nick Baumgardner: Bears are in '1st-world problems' tier heading into NFL Draft

Yes, right.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Nick Baumgardner: Bears are in '1st-world problems' tier heading into NFL Draft

This is a lot like that.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Maybe not as deep in some cases in terms of the explosion that you can get at the bottom of the draft, but

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Into the fourth and fifth, I think you can still get really good linebackers.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Nick Baumgardner: Bears are in '1st-world problems' tier heading into NFL Draft

Yeah, I mean, like this is and I got to say also for folks, this is about to be the norm.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Nick Baumgardner: Bears are in '1st-world problems' tier heading into NFL Draft

I got to think, right, like these guys, a lot of these guys are staying in college, are getting paid.

Trinidad Chamblish, the kid from Ole Miss, is still trying to sue his way back.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Nick Baumgardner: Bears are in '1st-world problems' tier heading into NFL Draft

I think he's going to get back and he's going to make more money in college than he would have as a second round pick this year.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Nick Baumgardner: Bears are in '1st-world problems' tier heading into NFL Draft

So a lot of that has changed sort of what has happened in terms of

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Nick Baumgardner: Bears are in '1st-world problems' tier heading into NFL Draft

Can we wait till next year?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Nick Baumgardner: Bears are in '1st-world problems' tier heading into NFL Draft

Can you keep doing this?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Nick Baumgardner: Bears are in '1st-world problems' tier heading into NFL Draft

Because I think a lot of these classes are going to be similar to this.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Nick Baumgardner: Bears are in '1st-world problems' tier heading into NFL Draft

Some years might be different, but in this case, this year, you've got a guy at the top, like you said, like Mendoza is a legitimate top 10 quarterback and top 10 pick, a guy that you can take up there and feel safe.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And kind of like Cam Ward last year, you can take him, he can be on a bad team.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Nick Baumgardner: Bears are in '1st-world problems' tier heading into NFL Draft

He's not going to be ruined by it, all that stuff.

After that, it gets dicey though.
