Rahimi Harrison-Grody. I'm not a fan of any team. I'm just a fan of being right.
Middays 10-2 on 104.3 The Score. At the end of the day, it's after Packers always.
This is Rahimi Harrison-Grote on 104.3 The Score. This is a very touch-and-go type of day for us as we break down the news about DJ Moore being sent to the Buffalo Bills that will be active when the league year changes. According to Tom Pellicero, multiple reports as well, Adam Schefter, the usual newsbreakers, the Bears will get a 2026, so this year's second round pick in return. They are sending a fifth rounder along with DJ Moore. This frees up a reported $16.5 million in cap space for the Bears. And we now try to figure out what's next. That's where we're at with this here on Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 104.3 The Score.
Yeah, the Bears have the 25th overall pick in the draft in the first round. And now, remember last year, the Bears were pretty successful with their second-round picks where you do have to hit, and they did hit on Luther Burden and Ozzie Trapillo. Jury's still out on Shamar Turner right now, but I do love a good second-round pick, so they've got two second-round picks right now, a third-round pick, a fourth-round pick, a fifth-round pick, and two seventh-round picks. My guess is that that will be different by the time the draft comes a round, which is on April 23rd at Pittsburgh.
The Bears' picks on the first two days of the draft, numerically, 25, 57, 60, 89. I like it. Not bad.
I like it.
You know I'm scared of the Bears in the third round.
What are the details of DJ Moore's trade to the Bills?
You do have a, I was going to say irrational, but rational fear.
No, it's rational. Look up that history in the third round. They smartly didn't have it. They did not have the third round pick last year.
Where's your little diary book? Is it in there? I know you've got all your receipts in there.
Why do you think it's a diary?
Because when I walked into the pre-show meeting today, you were sitting there with your legs crossed and you had, you just look comfortable as you were writing. And it's a unique looking book. I was like, I, the first thing I said to Layla today was dear diary.
And I was like, why are you saying dear diary to yourself? Do you know what I was writing about? Which should get at least a sentence of recognition today, a potential trade. No, Edward Cabrera's filthy blanking change-up. What the hell is that thing?
Cubs got a guy with velocity. I'm seeing 98.
Mark said he goes, it's nice that the Cubs have a guy who can throw fast. Yeah. Yeah, isn't it? That is nice.
I mean, Cade Horton, he's got that 96, but he doesn't have that 98.
We call that a plus-plus fastball. Let's continue with the calls here on Rahimi Harrison-Grody.
How does DJ Moore's departure affect the Bears' cap space?
312-644-6767 is our number. Tommy on the south side has been holding a long time. Tommy, we thank you for calling.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you guys for having me. Sure, Tom. Well, I just wanted to thank you.
What draft picks do the Bears have for the upcoming draft?
I wanted to say we're going to all miss DJ, but I'm probably one of the few callers that's excited about the upcoming season because I look at it like this. I mean, Luther Burton. I think he's a dog. I think he was hurt. He still finished over 600 yards receiving. If Cook wouldn't have had a bad year in Missouri, he would have been in the first round. So we got two first-round talents in him in Rome at right receiver. In Rome, stay healthy. We got opportunity still. I trust, you know, I trust what Ben's going to do with those young guys. And I trust that Colston's just going to explode. So even though we're born in DJ, but I think it's opportunity. And I think every football player, especially those young receivers, are excited about, you know, taking it to the next level.
And now we just got to decide what we're going to do with that second round pick. You know, we'd be able to go from there and see what we can do with the cap money. I think we should address the center position. I don't think it's realistic that we're going to get max. I just don't think it'll be hard to pull that one. But I'm more concerned with offensive lines because Ricky Caleb up.
