Summary

Hoge & Jahns are back with a mini pod edition following Day 2 of the NFL Draft. Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears went offense-heavy Friday night, adding center Logan Jones, tight end Sam Roush, and dynamic returner/wide receiver Zavion Thomas to the roster. Ryan Poles also made a move on the draft board, trading pick No. 60 for picks No. 69 and 144 as the Bears continue to build for both the present and future. Tune in as Hoge & Jahns share their biggest takeaways from the draft so far and break down how these new additions could shape Ben Johnson’s roster moving forward.
