What are the five topics being discussed in this episode?
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. In CBS Sports, Josh Edwards' latest mock draft, he has the Bears picking wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. from Indiana with the 25th pick. On a scale of 1-10, on the newly created 2-Damn-Early meter, trademarked, it's 25-2-Damn-Early for the Bears to add another receiver in the room. Bro, like 10 on the too damn early meter. This is the test, is it not, gentlemen?
How early is too early to analyze the Bears' draft strategy?
This is the test. If you really go with your draft board and this and that, and there's a wide receiver who's the best player available, do you mean to tell me that's what you're going to do? How many receivers are you going to end up with here? Infinity by rule of position availability? How are you going to put that team together? Hmm? You can have one of them set the edge like your old OC did when he weighed about $1.75 soaking wet. Is that how this works? Okay, maybe I'm a little traumatized. But no, this is the test. Number one, yes, it's too damn early, so I'd put it at a 10. Number two, it is the truest test. If your best player available at 25 is a receiver, do you do it? Do you? Do you? So first of all, shout out to the newly created Too Damn Early meter, which I...
had a big news here a fresh chuckle at like your next high school event that you're gonna do play by play for yes two damn early meters well well i i'll say this on a scale of one to ten I would say this is a six because if you believe that the best player on the board is a receiver and you stick to what you're talking about, and last I checked, DJ Moore is no longer on the team, they could take a receiver there and I'd be like, all right, y'all must know what you're doing because I had doubts when you drafted Luther Burton III when you did in the second round. I was wrong. Luther Burton III made sense in the grand scheme of things. I will say this. If you take a receiver with number one, you better be getting to the quarterback.
Whoever you take later better be getting to the quarterback now. Or you're making him block on the line on the left side. Well, I'm just saying, like, I get best player available. You have a board. You rank the players. But I also believe strongly in tiers. And in tiers, you have your blue chippers. You have the next guys. And so there could be a receiver there and there could be a defensive end there. And you might want to just take that defensive end. that would make it make sense but i'm not for the sense making you're a 10 i am go congratulations by the way um first time for everything i i am marshall i wrote down the number six as well start the bears have two dependable wide receivers on their roster right now and we're
not even sure what they're going to get out of Roma Dunze next year. I think Luther Burden is on the upswing, but you can't quite, you can't just assume that. So yeah, I'm going to, and yes, Ryan Poles, as he said, patted himself on the back. They took best player available. They couldn't believe that Luther Burden was available where he was. So they took him. So I, yeah, I'm at a six. You know, it's too early, but not that much too early to think about. That's kind of how I put it, put a look on it and said, yeah, I feel like it's too early because receiver, I know they have glaring needs on the defensive line, but I can't be mad at what I saw happen last year, both going for that receiver early and also waiting forever for a running back.
And the running back thing worked out as well. No, I love it because it really does test the theory. And Ryan Poles did bring it up. You guys saw what happened when we drafted Luther Birdie. Oh, yeah. And he was right to do so. Like, get your credit where it's due. But at the same time, okay, what if it happens again? What are you going to do then? Huh? Huh? Huh? And I've not forgotten about Khalif Raymond either. He is a receiver, but he's going to give you 200, 300 yards maybe. I don't know. I feel like he's going to give us more in the media department, I feel like.
