The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously. Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey. The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time. It's just sports. Okay, thanks, bye. Rahimi Harrison-Grody. 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
Local man, Carnell Tate. He went to Marist. Ohio State receiver. Joined PFT Live. And for everybody on the Twitch mob who's always asking about Mike Florio's Lego projects, well, guess who might help? What do we do when we get away from football? What do you do in your spare time? I play video games. I got a Lego set going. What Lego set are you doing? So right now, I'm currently in Titanic still.
So I've been in it since the beginning of the season. Okay, are we working out? Yes, we are. I want to keep talking Legos. Isn't it a great way to just kind of get away from everything? Oh, yeah, definitely. Like the whole world just disappears and you're just focusing on getting these damn blocks connected. Yes, sir. Definitely. I've never heard Mike Florio perk so much.
I want to keep talking Legos. We got to make that part of his intro, right? Like that's got to be a thing. It has to be because do you know how many times everybody in the Twitch mob has asked Mike Florio about the Lego Ghostbusters firehouse? When was the last time you and I built something together? Scientifically, a little over a year ago. Legos last week in my room.
If there was a Nobel Prize for Millennium Falcons that fall apart when you pick them up, we'd be set. That makes me want to draft Carnell Tate because someone who can focus on Legos as opposed to being distracted by the screens that we live in in society, I like the idea of breaking away and just doing something that's just not.
And sometimes, Langston, we be chilling, shooting firecrackers, making trap beats on buckets, playing Legos, but we don't got Legos, we got rocks that happen to fit as puzzle pieces. That sounds fun, doesn't it? Game for real. Layla Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score. Hello and good Monday morning to you.

Chapter 2: What are the key takeaways from the NFL Combine?
Bears. Bears. You said it. You dared yourself. You said it and it sounded great. It sounded great, Layla. It did, and this is a very different Bears this time this year versus this time last year. As you know, I'm big on the year-to-year comparison, the comp, if you will. And I think in this case, rewind to where we were this time last year. This was in the pre-Joe Tooney era, if you will.
That didn't happen until March 5th. It was also in the pre- playoff win in the last 15 years era. It was in the, we're still trying to figure out what's going on with Ben Johnson, how Caleb Williams will look, what's going on with the draft that was crucial. Ryan pulls all of that. And we also were drinking a lot of Kool-Aid when it came to the chase for Ashton Gentry.
I feel like now we're chasing another Raider. Now it's Max Crosby. But at the time, there was a ton of discussion about whether or not the Bears were going to get Ashton Gentry. Will they trade up? You know, I think a big voice guy when he was like, will they trade up? And while that was going on, I don't know if we drank the Kool-Aid as much as the Bears really did want a running back.
It just ended up working out better than we thought it would because they stuck to their board and they got Kyle Menungai in the seventh round. And between he and DeAndre Swift having a career year, it was able to work out. So here we are again, and this time I feel like it's in a much different spot.
Brad Biggs in his 10 Things at the NFL Combine brought this up, and he wasn't the only one who was making observations about the Bears. We very well, with the 25 pick with the Bears in the NFL draft, number 25, could be looking at a Bears team that might want to trade down. This is a different world. What do you think of just that prospect that we've talked about?
I'm interested in hearing more about that possibility, and it's something that I would probably support. And you talk about relativity from one year to the next. I mean, last year, and it's been a while since the Bears have had a first-round pick that was that far down, which is a good thing, 25. That means that the Bears won. But you think about last year.
Last year's draft, the Bears had the 10th overall pick, and they took Colston Lovell. The Bears had... The luxury that the Bears had last year and the place where the Bears landed possibly two starters, maybe three, we'll see, was the three second round picks. I love the first round picks, of course, but second round picks, man, you should expect those to be starters.
You got Luther Burden in the second round. You got Ozzie Trapillo in the second round. You got Shamar Turner in the second round. And I realize that Shamar Turner is a big old fat incomplete right now in terms of what he might be able to do.
I don't know if you could sense where I'm going with this, Layla, but I wouldn't mind the Bears getting another second round pick or two if they're able to do something like that and trade down. I'd be very interested to see what the board looks like when they get to 25 and what sort of players would be there considering the depth on defensive line and end. But on the surface...

Chapter 3: What are the latest developments with the Chicago Bears?
It was very similar, honestly, Layla.
to the way we were talking about max crosby the khalil mac talking point was fun to talk about it we all talked about it it was great oh yeah khalil back to the bears it's not gonna happen ryan pace is not gonna pull that off and then one morning i wake up on a weekend and i see the news and i hear the news and there's danny park is doing hey grody get up get up we gotta do a show so we go into the studio and we actually did a whole khalil mac show because
it happened they pulled it off which was magnificent so yes to answer your question it was all it was all well worth it and it was not something that we had expected to actually happen as fun as it was to discuss i feel like the process was faster because wasn't wasn't the concept of him being up for a trade like a saturday thing that happened on sunday or something or it was like it was weekend it was something where it was like the news is out one day later khalil mac is a bear
I remember giving myself alarm clock free sleep that day. So I was about an hour and a half late because I was like, that's it. I'm sleeping in today. I'm not turning. And then I wake up and there it happened. Magically, Khalil Mack is a Chicago bear. And then I'm running into the studio to do a show about Khalil Mack. We have some news that involves a former bear.
Breaking news on Rahimi Harrison-Grody is brought to you by the Take the North podcast. Love it. Mark Grody hosts the Take the North podcast. I love you, Layla. I love you, Mark. With Dan Weiderer, who's on at one. How do you feel about him? He's the weed man. How could you not like the weed? He's the man who can get you things. Dan Weiderer did a big article discussing Caleb Williams, by the way.
We'll get to that in a second. Yeah! This is the breaking news read that everybody wanted, right? This is how we construct it. The Lions, according to multiple reports, are trading David Montgomery to the Texans in exchange for a fifth round pick. What? They're doing it. Poor David Montgomery. He's just going all over the world. No, not poor David Montgomery.
He was the one that wanted to be traded, wasn't he? Well, out of here. Well, no, but I think he was tired of being second fiddle. He was tired of being knuckles to Sonic. Yeah, he was. As cute of a story as that was and how life was grand for David Montgomery. He's playing a complimentary role. He just got himself.
I mean, I have to read more, but the way I was reading into it, David Montgomery was the one who wanted to be traded. Adam Schefter has the compensation. Texans get David Montgomery. Lions get fourth round pick. Offensive lineman Juice Scruggs. Juice! And a second round pick. Hell of a name. That's a great name. Scruggsy. But depth on the offensive line for the Lions. Wow.
Jameer Gibbs, RB1, as we knew that already with a bullet. I assume they tried to get another RB2 in the draft. It is. It just blows my mind how fast things change and how fast narratives change. And it's all changed. That was such a perfect running back's room for a year and change, and now it's over. Two years, but here's the thing. Two years. For all we've talked about,

Chapter 4: How does Ryan Poles view the upcoming NFL Draft?
They built the line first. So I feel like they're one of those teams where getting an offensive lineman in return does not strike me as surprising. Especially since their offensive line is, I'm not going to say in shambles, but another thing that has changed rapidly about the Lions is they're not as effective offensive line, which started, of course, with the retirement of Dirty Frank Ragnow.
Yeah, it can't.
dirty frank all franks are dirty to me by the way zinger just a zinger for no reason and then he tried to come back if you recall yes he did try to come back and then he didn't pass the physical yeah sorry i tried yeah well and also there's this coincidence field yates points us out the texans have the corner of the market on the iowa state skill guys david montgomery jayden higgins jaylen noel and xavier hutchinson
They just want the whole team. Just get Matt Campbell. I know he just went to Penn State. Figure it out. Get him on there, too. Well, the Eagles are like the Georgia Bulldogs, right? The professional version. Given Georgia's domination of football for a time, I would say that that probably would bode well for them. Find your good college team and just draft everybody and trade for everybody.
Well, Dave Wanstead, you know, he was part of the whole Miami machine. He sure was. So that makes it make sense. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But in this case, the Texans and Iowa State are very much in sync. We have more to come here, and that's something we'll keep our eyes on. It is one of those days where we expect some movement in the NFL. Mark Grody is in studio.
Layla Rahimi here with you as we broadcast live from the Scores Hyundai Studios, brought to you by your local Hyundai dealers. Ray Diaz, our producer, you just heard his voice. Tyler Buterbaugh helping us out, of course, as well. Brandon Fryer does the same for us. And then you can catch us on Twitch and YouTube at The Score Chicago. Our address changed just in case you missed it.
We're no longer 670 The Score on Twitch and YouTube. We are The Score Chicago. And we're still free there, at least for now, as far as I understand. I don't think that's changing anytime soon. So you can find us there. The Twitch mob is up there chatting. YouTube is an option for you as well. And you can call and text us. 312-644-6767. So now it's just Sonic in Detroit, at least for now.
It's not the same. You think he's lonely? You think he's sad that David is leaving the building? Knuckles. He was Knuckles, right? No, well, yeah, David was Knuckles. Yes, Jameer Gibbs is Sonic. Like Sonic and Knuckles, like I'll say it and I'll play along, but it does not come to me naturally.
That was not like, I didn't know about Sonic and Knuckles, the actual characters before Jameer Gibbs and David Montgomery. So I'm a big fraud. What you need to know, Grody, is Sonic and Knuckles originally, as the lore goes, is they were enemies at first. Oh. So they've done this in reverse order. Later, in the video game storyline, they became friends later on. Oh, isn't that neat?

Chapter 5: What are the key takeaways from the NFL Combine?
Okay. Okay. I'm at an uncomfortable 220 right now, but I'll get it down. Nellie is at the Wisconsin State Fair this year. I knew I saw Nellie in a state fair somewhere. Also a solid state fair. Oh, how about Milwaukee Fest? A lot of food on a stick there as well. Yeah. Okay.
Chapter 6: How does the discussion shift to the Cubs and White Sox?
Let's do a state fair tour, the three of us. And maybe Marshall too. I'm not opposed. I'm not opposed. Can Marshall handle state fairs? He doesn't like crowds. I don't know if he can handle it. He didn't want to go to Chris Kendall Market, remember? That's true. Did you hear about this, Russ?
Chapter 7: What are the concerns regarding Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga?
We had a plot where we were going to all go with dates. It was an always sunny episode to Chris Kendall Market, but Marshall hated the idea. And poor Robbie was going to have to wear mittens and dress like an elf and write down everything. I loved all of that. It was very always sunny. Very always sunny. And the irony being that none of us ever have dates. I think that was the part.
Marshall likes to keep his dates private. I think you guys could find dates.
Chapter 8: What does Ryan Poles think about the future of Caleb Williams?
I think we could. I don't know if we'd be happy, though. I mean, think about it. Oh, we have acts. Okay, so the Grandstand concert schedule is Bailey Zimmerman, Lainey Wilson, Matchbox 20, Ella Langley, and Shinedown. Matchbox 20. A little Rob Thomas in your life? Following up Motley Crue and Def Leppard with Shinedown. I don't know about that.
Also, the texters say Peanut's a half octave higher than me. Okay. And that you guys both speak with confidence, which I agree with. Yeah. Similar voice inflection. I agree with that. We get excited, and then we start doing things. So this was multiple texters who initiated this? Yes, and people are in agreement, and they agree with our point about sentence structure, but it's the way we talk.
When we're like making a point or excited. Is that the line you open up with on a date? People have said I have the sentence structure. Walking around with a 33 on his back. Oh, if there's one thing I date for, it is somebody who has the sentence structure of Peanut Tillman. That is a quality. Coming up next. You want to hang with us for five on it? Yes. Russ is hanging with us for five on it.

Number one. This is 500 on 104.3 The Score with Laila Rahimi, Mark Grody, and special guest Russell Dorsey, National MLB Insider. Here's question number one.
Now that the NFL scouting combine is over, has your opinion changed about the position the Bears should zero in on with the number 25 overall pick in the NFL draft? No, I draft for position of need. I'm not a GM who has a job. I'm a fake GM. Instead, I sit in front of this microphone just yelling to oblivion. But I still think that this one is a pretty big no-brainer for me.
The class of defensive linemen is rich. It is robust. It's like a good morning cup of coffee. Not like a cheap one that tastes like acid or flowers or something else. Well, flowers I like. But the point is, it's a good class of defensive linemen. And guess what the Bears need? Defensive line. And from what I understand with everybody grading out at the Combine, there were no drawbacks.
Like, that's the thing you're looking for, right? If somebody woefully misses on a driller, they woefully don't hit a 40 time. Or, next up, if the pro day doesn't match what they did at the combine. And I didn't get that impression. And in fact, I think it only solidified some of the campaigns of the non-Rubin Bain or David Bailey. Those two probably go first and second. But...
