What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The score! I got five. It's time for Five On It. Raheem Harrison-Roney. Bring you five topics on their minds today. On 104.3 The Score.
I got five on it. Number one. What was your biggest takeaway from Bears Assistant General Manager Jeff King's press conference on Tuesday?
That he's just as good as anybody at not answering questions and not really saying too many interesting things. And that I wish Ryan Poles, the guy who is actually the general manager, would just be the one to take questions instead of giving practice reps to the assistants in this case. But I will answer the question. And I guess his...
What are the main takeaways from Bears Assistant GM Jeff King's press conference?
Jeff King sort of back and forth. Jeff King was fine, by the way, did a good job up there, comported himself well for the first time. But I do wish the actual GM would answer these questions. But the unconvincing evaluation of Tyreek Stevenson, like he's great, he's great, he's great. There's things he can work on. There's things he can work on. He's just getting started. He's still young. It was just like this weird, again, unconvincing, if he was trying to convince us of anything, but I certainly was not convinced at all. It actually sort of inspired me to realize as I did the deep dive on the cornerbacks that the Bears badly need a cornerback in their first three picks. So that at least got me thinking about that.
I did like hearing, and it's just a thing that GMs will say, but he did talk about the goal of the draft is to get competition at lots of positions and to have hard decisions once camp breaks. It did get me thinking about all the spots that there is competition, including at safety. I believe that there is definitely competition at the cornerback position. I even think that you could make a case for competition at the linebacker spot, depending on who is fully intact once we actually get going in training camp. So I did appreciate those things. And lastly, the fact that he did name check my guy Dan Weterer like three or four times throughout that press conference, which I like, man. Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan.
He Dan'd him like four times.
Respect must be paid.
I love the respect going to my Take the North partner and of the athletic Dan Weterer.
I feel like the biggest takeaway for me was that my football sensibility was shaky in the way he described the situation at safety and maybe that they had two starting safeties on the roster. And if that is the case, then maybe I have underestimated Cam Lewis and what he can do. No, I'm being serious. Maybe I have underestimated. Yeah. Because I'm just going off of what he's done in the past and maybe in a bigger role, Cam Lewis could be a guy. I'm squinting when I say this because I'm trying to see it. I don't see it yet, but maybe it just needs to be presented to me in such a way. After they pick a safety at number 25 or after they trade back and take a safety with that early second-round pick, either way, then I'll be like, okay, now I understand why he said that because it was all just to throw us off the scent that a safety was coming at the first-round pick.
But, yeah, back to what you said to start the thing, Grody. He can go up there just like as well as anyone and not answer questions directly.
All right. So in that way, I guess he did a good job.
Well, that's what he's supposed to do, though. You're supposed to just – Be available. Maybe you answer some specific questions that don't really affect your draft strategy, but we knew what it was going to be.
Yeah, and ultimately we have to understand that because we don't want them giving stuff away. They get to play the game like everybody else.
I'll take that over not being available at all.
Give me your answers and I'll go through them. Yeah, but polls should do that press conference. That's just my thing. Number two.
Matthew Boyd makes his return to the Cubs rotation tonight after a three-week stint on the IL with a bicep strain. How will Jed Hoyer and company adjust the roster?
I don't know how he'll do it. I think I have an idea of what should happen next. If the way that things have gone are going to continue, and you've heard how they've spoken about Colin Ray and how invaluable he's been.
