Summary

The Chicago Bears are on the clock in just 2 days at the NFL Draft! Final preparations are underway and today, the CHGO Bears crew reveals who each of our “guys” is. Is it a consensus pick for addressing the defensive side of the ball? Ryan Poles and new Assistant GM Jeff King spoke at Halas Hall. What did they have to say about their draft process? Plus, we hear from Colston Loveland and T.J. Edwards. Is Loveland prepared for higher expectations? And how is Edwards progressing from a fractured fibula? We wrap the show with a tease to our Diehard discord with Fran Duffy at 2:30. Would Peter Woods be a great outcome? And who does he call a “slam dunk” if he’s available at Pick 25? Join Adam Hoge, Mark Carman and Adam Jahns on the CHGO Bears Podcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Bears got a good one in their now second year tight end. And yeah, I'm excited for who's your guy coming up here, Hogue. Big day for us on the show.

1:10.1

Well, right now,

1:30.5

our guy is Adam Johns. He is standing by at Hallis Hall, ready to go. He's rested. He's feeling better. He got every disease possible on his Disney cruise, but he's better now. You got to get better before the draft, and he bounced back. He's ready to go. Well, you know, I don't want to go too far behind the scenes here because it's a little personal and people probably don't care all that much.

1:48.0

But Johns' walk into Hallis Hall today, the presence that he brought going through security. I mean, I've seen Dan Weider do it. I've seen Brad Biggs do it. I mean, I've seen a lot of people do that walk. I haven't seen anybody come in with the

1:44.4

presence that Johns did today after missing yesterday. It all felt right in the world that walk in today. So, Johnzie, I just thank you. I thought you set the tone well today.

2:18.2

as well, but we are going to kind of pick our guy that we've narrowed in on individually for

2:22.9

this draft before we get done here in this segment. But let's start with the reaction to Jeff

2:29.5

King, who's been here for a while. This is kind of an interesting situation because Jeff King's been part of this organization
