Score Evenings

Filling in for Joe Ostrowski, Mark Grote opened his show by discussing the latest Bears storylines and by taking calls from Score listeners. Grote also explored options for the Bears in the upcoming NFL Draft.

In the third hour, Zach Zaidman was joined by Ricky O'Donnell of SB Nation to preview the NCAA Tournament and to break down the bracket. Later, Zaidman and the crew replayed a pair of great Illini interviews on the station earlier in the day, as star guard Ayo Dosunmu was on the Parkins & Spiegel Show and coach Brad Underwood joined the Mully & Haugh Show.

In the second hour, Zach Zaidman was joined by Kevin Fishbain of the Athletic to discuss the Bears' quarterback search and to share some possible options who aren't named Russell Wilson or Deshaun Watson. After that, Zaidman reacted to DePaul firing basketball coach Dave Leitao. Later, Lou Canellis of Fox 32 joined the show to explain he believes the Bears will trade for Wilson.

Sitting in for Joe Ostrowski, Zach Zaidman opened his show by breaking down the top-seeded Illinois Fighting Illini's chances of winning the national championship. Bears Radio analyst Tom Thayer then joined the show to preview the start of NFL free agency and to discuss which positions Chicago needs to address. Later, Stacey Dales of the NFL Network joined the show to share the national perspective of the Bears.

In the final hour, Mark Grote listened and reacted to Bears coach Matt Nagy's intriguing comments during his conversation with Brad Biggs and Dan Wiederer of the Tribune recently. Notably, Nagy spoke about the process that led the Chiefs to draft star quarterback Patrick Mahomes in 2017, when Nagy was working in Kansas City. What Nagy had to say set off producer Adam Studzinski, as it was much different than the process the Bears apparently went through. Grote capped off the show by listening back to Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney's interview on the Mully & Haugh Show earlier in the morning.
