That's right. We are looking at the prospects. Nobody loves a good mock draft like the

CHGO Bears podcast loves a mock draft. Welcome in as we are live from the Xfinity loft

alongside my handy dandy trusty partner who's not as handy as me.

Carm on the Farm Elite Segment yesterday, Gregory P. Allen Braggs who's got his mind on San Jose.

And I got to let you know that during the show I am going to look at flights because Greg is unwilling to pay for himself to go see his boilers and I might just send him out there on my own to get him. Send it. Send you away. You'll hand it in Jerome. You'll you'll handle your hotel and everything else. You'll find someone to stay with. There's got to be a diehard out there in San Jose. He wants to put you up, right? Baldi's got the madness bug. He's he he's been breaking down St. John's buzzer-beaters here on his baldy breakdowns. There is no mountain too tall for Baldi to climb, and let's bring him in here as we start the show. Baldi, we've got your book for two segments, so I hope you're free for the next 26 minutes or so here. Because we got a lot to cover with you. All right. Let's do it.

I mean, you want to talk about Dylan Darling's kiss off the glass with the other hand, with his right hand to win it at the buzzer. I mean, it doesn't get any bigger or better than that if you're a Johnny fan or if you grew up in New York and you're like rooting for Louis Carnacek and Chris Mullin and Walter of the Truth Barry. I mean, it's just a flashback.

Let's go.

This is the kind of madness energy. Carnacek and Chris Mullen and Walter of the Truth Barry. I mean, it's just a flashback.

Let's go. This is the kind of madness energy I need right now. Do you know any of the old school names that he just threw out there? Chris Mullen? Of course. Do you know what he's, what was Luke Carnaceca famous for? Paul, he doesn't even know the sweater. Dude doesn't even know the Ardala sweater. You got to have the ugly sweater.

He started the whole thing.

Yeah, I mean, that know the sweater. Dude doesn't even know the Argyle sweater. You got to have the ugly sweater. He started the whole thing. Yeah. I mean, that's the amateur hour over here. But you should have seen the ugly sweater the head coach for Queens was wearing against Purdue. I was something to behold. For the record, Baldy, I root for the Northwestern Wildcats because I grew up around here and I've got a big heart and I don't jump teams like some people do on the show. But I also went to the University of Iowa. So for the first time since I graduated in 1996, I'm all in, Baldi. Watch out for the Hawkeyes. I agree. I mean, look, like, honestly, coaching just matters. You saw it with the Bears this year.

Coaching matters.

And you look at what Rick Petino's doing.

You look what Iowa was doing.

They got the right guy in there.

Here they are in the Sweet 16.

It's an awesome story right now.

It is.

And the Big Ten's having a renaissance here.

But that's not why you came to the CHGO Bears podcast.

Sure it is. Well, maybe it is. I mean, we're all sports fans here. Come on. But let's get into the football. And, you know, before we get into the draft, your breakdowns on Twitter are awesome and must watch as always. And I can't wait to get into some of the guys you're targeting because because you know, things would have to fall a little bit different and maybe the bears have to trade up to get some of your guys, but I like the, I like the fits, at least in theory. But look, the bears, the bears said hello to Kobe Bryant, that said goodbye to Kevin Byer to led the NFL interceptions, just trying to get faster all over the field here at Devin Bush in, Tremaine Edmunds out. You know, there's a financial component to all of this. But just on the surface, what do you think about what the Bears have done so far? Do you like it or are you a little skeptical? Well, I mean, look, they led the league in takeaways. They led the league in interceptions.

And if you take, you know, Byrd and Nashon Wright and Edmonds and Chauncey Gardner Johnson and Tricon, Briscoe, 19 or 23 interceptions are gone.
