Bears Nation Podcast

The Bears executed the tank PERFECTLY and have thus secured the #1 overall pick. Jake and Kevin discuss what the most optimal scenario is for the Bears in the draft and why taking a QB would be "the most colossal tactical error in NFL history." This impassioned episode is jam-packed with excitement and optimism as the Bears enter the most important 4 month stretch in team history.

We know an extensive preview of Bears-Vikings probably isn't what you want to listen to, so we avoided that at all costs. We break down the possibility the Bears get number one overall and what else to watch for in week 18. We also run through a mock-offseason Kevin did and pinpoint specific names to target once FA comes around. Kevin also rants about pundits and "experts" who are willing to suggest the Bears should consider drafting a quarterback.

Jake and Kevin bring you a JAM-PACKED episode full of debate and speculation. The Bears are close to hiring a new President/CEO so we discuss that possibility and why Kevin Warren is a solid name. Turmoil has ensued in Vegas, making a certain player potentially available via trade. We list 4 MAJOR names at WR and what the return/likelihood is they'll be traded. Rundown:
