Welcome back the CHTO Bears After Dark.

The offseason is here.

It all for a few weeks here on CHGO Bears After Dark kind of resetting now that the Super Bowl champions have been decided.

And now the Bears look to hoist the Lombardi a year from now.

I am your host, Craig Braggs Jr. alongside me, as always, is Draft Dr. Philatotian and Shane Marceau from the tape Never Lies Network.

But we're doing things a little differently here going forward. We're going to be doing

episodes every other week leading up to the NFL draft. So that equals five episodes total

that we'll be doing. And we're going to try to look at different position groups and things

that you guys, the fans are most interested in. And that's who the bears can get to try to

elevate themselves into Super Bowl contender categories. So with that being said, who will also

be joining us for these discussions is all city draft expert Fran Duffy. If you are a diehard

with CHO sports, you know all about his work. But if you don't, now is the time to start to find out

because this guy is always coming with the draft guide. He's got a newsletter and so much more and does amazing work.

One of the more detailed people that I've come across when it comes to the NFL draft.

So how you doing, Fran? First and foremost, thank you for joining the program.

Braggs, I appreciate it. No, it's good, man. I'm excited. I've been grinding on this class.

Like, I mean, we're going months now when I first started watching players for 2026 and going back to like last May. And so now being able to now like everybody wants to talk about it, it's great to be able to share my thoughts with all these players. Yeah, absolutely. So once again, head to all-CHGO.com to check out his

inventory of all the research he's doing. And he started before the college football season

even started this year. So he's a way ahead of the game in that regard. It's got a newsletter

that he puts out. He's got a whole draft guide that is really interactive with the whole

database in different

ways.
