I would be underwhelmed by this outcome, personally. I like Caleb more than most Bears fans it seems, so I have no issue with that pick. But I don’t believe there’s an edge rusher in this draft worth a top 10 pick. It feels like a missed opportunity to not support your new QB in a draft with some of the best Offensive talent in recent years. Bowers, Nabers, Coleman, Odunze would all make more sense, ideally in a trade down scenario for some of them. I wouldn’t hesitate to take Bowers 5th though, if that’s where we end up.
Where do they have Bowers being drafted?

I’m totally biased because I’m an alum, but I love Johnny Newton from Illinois if we trade down to a lower spot in the first.
Dude is an absolute animal.
