I got five.
Number one.
What topics are covered in the '5 On It' segment?
Five on it begins now on 104.3 The Score. But quick programming note, and it's a big football one. The Athletics' Dane Brugler, the guy that is the creator of The Beast.
The Beast!
That's right. He'll join us at 1225. And on to question number one. ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller joined Spiegel and Holmes on Monday and said this about the Bears draft class.
I posted in an article, and I got a little ahead of myself maybe, but I said, when the Bears won a Super Bowl in the next three years, this is going to be the draft that we look back and say, that's how they did it. It's Caleb Williams, it's Colson Loveland, it's Luther Burden, but this is the draft that was the final piece to the puzzle. I'm that much of a believer in Dylan Thiemann. I'm that much of a believer in Logan Jones. That much of a believer in just how they are continuing to build this team. Everyone's going to talk about de-tackle, de-tackle. One doesn't go till late.
What insights does Dane Brugler provide about the Bears' draft class?
But Jordan Vandenberg, I thought was a steal in the seventh round. So this was a good draft for Poles.
So that's ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller with Spiegel and Holmes yesterday. So based on those comments, I'm giving you guys some multiple choice questions. Are you A, seeing the potential in Miller's Super Bowl comment, B, not buying it at all, or C, saying it's way too early to tell? Layla.
I think it's way too early to tell, but Matt Miller did call the Colston Loveland pick when seemingly nobody else was. So I always give him a lot of credit. Now, Matt Miller in his first mock draft also had Peter Woods going to the Bears of 25. Hmm, Matt Miller. He then amended that draft a couple of times because he does that. And he's allowed because when the facts change to him, he can change. Matt Miller has been pretty bullish on Bears drafting now for a couple of years. And I respect his opinion. So I think it's pretty obvious that what the Bears were doing, they were thinking about perhaps long-term investment with this draft, not necessarily outside of Dylan Thienemann, immediate impact. And I think it very much affected how the rest of the draft felt for them.
But as we've seen, you know, the last day of the draft can be a crapshoot, but it can also be where you get really lucky. And I think the Bears are due for some luck. You know, Braxton Jones can't be the only one out here repping the late day. Kyle Menungai, yes. But I feel like Kyle Menungai was a purposeful pick as well, you know, even though he went to the seventh. They still knew they were getting a guy who – was a low grade into deep class, but he was still the Big Ten leading rusher. You know, it's not like he wasn't without some stats.
He also held on to the football.
How do the Bears' draft picks impact their future performance?
I think that was number one important. I believe the Bears led the NFL in turnover margin last year. So that's one way to win that category is by not turning the ball over. Menungai was a key piece of that. As far as A, B, or C, I'm going to say A. I see the potential, because that's how potential works, in Miller's Super Bowl comment. Here's why. If the Bears do turn these guys into players who are starters, specifically at safety, center, linebacker, and of course, when you talk about tight end, if Cole Komet moves on after next season, okay, I can see it. But more importantly than that, before Cole Komet moves on, you finally have three tight ends of your choosing, by the way, Ben Johnson and Ryan Poles.
Let's say you're the number one offense in the NFL.
Yeah.
If you're the number one offense in the NFL, you have Super Bowl potential. And that's what I think they're gunning for here. Of course, it all depends on the guy who's the most important man in the building, which is the quarterback, COE, Caleb over everything. But we'll see how it turns out. But it's definitely, it's A for me.
I have a question for you.
