I did not have this on my dance card.

Stephen versus Fran.

That's right.

Let's stir up some controversy here.

This is the CHGO Bears podcast.

We are not live from the Xfinity studio because

it is a Friday. We are live from the Hogue Mansion with a Hogue hat the day after his 40th

birthday party and live from Carms Central here. Can you, do you notice the new thing in my background,

Hoag, do you see it? It's right above the Bears pennant. Oh, you put a little

CHGO sticker above that? C.HGO sticker. Come on. I used to have one behind me. Where

did that go? And look, I got, look back, look back. I got one more for you. Come back to me.

Look at that. Oh, right under MJ. Another one. It's a double. Jaquell and

working overtime over here coming up with all the options. But here, let's get into this,

Hoag. We got Fran Duffy's seven-round mock draft coming up in 15 minutes. Stephen Nicholas.

It's a big show for a producer, Steven, who's come up with all the, the, the trade, trade forward,

trade back, trade everywhere scenarios. We did this last year with Stephen. And so it makes a lot

sense to bring it back. I remember doing this show last year. Stephen looking at, you know,

all the possible teams that might be, whether they want to trade up, trade back,

potentially move around with the bears. And he's, you know, grinded through the numbers

and the hypotheticals and the trade value charts and all those things. So let's get into it.

Let's bring Steven into the show because he's got some good ones here.

Yeah. All right. We could start it right off with, well, hold on a second. Hold on a second. Did you, knowing that Fran Duffy just put his mock draft out seven round. Do you feel ashamed going first in the show ahead of the Fran Duffy? This is his livelihood mock draft versus Steven trade.
