Last Friday saw the latest Bear With Us launch, covering Caleb Williams and the #9 overall pick…
And then over the weekend, Jeff and I caught up on what he’s hearing about #9 overall (plus a full mock of the craziness that may lead up to Chicago’s pick.

More Nine at #9 tomorrow.
Your Turn: Does the draft still feel far away? Or does it finally feel around the corner?
With Justin Fields officially traded, it feels like the Chicago Bears are at the dawning of a new age. That means change — some good, some bad, and a whole lot of ‘New’.
That means new additions around DBB as well — Jeff & I will be hosting a show we’re calling Saturday Spaces (creative, I know) that you can expect weekly starting the weekend after Easter. The two of us recorded similar shows throughout this last Bears season, and I think they turned out well.
I recorded this last weekend’s show for your listening pleasure — check it out at the link below and let me know what you think.

Your Turn: What Bears-related topics will you focus on over the next month?
Jeff had some takeaways after today’s press conferences from Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus:
Two things I gathered from Poles today.
1. You don’t openly discuss trading Fields the way he just did if you’re not trading Fields. Seems a certainty.
2. Still think it would take something historic for Poles to bail on first pick. But I can’t see him dropping further than 2. https://t.co/aZyqJfRrPp

On this episode of the nation’s most popular podcast between a Bears blogger and a Bears beat, Adam Jahns tell us:
If you ask me, this is one of my best radio appearances to date. This is a passionate conversation about Ray McDonald, domestic violence in the NFL and how the league must address their growing problem of a league comprised of unlikable men.
Like Grantland, except without all that Disney money.
Reverend Dave does not like ranting anymore. So stepping in for him again this week is yours truly. Today’s discussion: how tomorrow can set the stage for “meaning” from the 2014 season and how – in context – the Patriots and Packers blowouts might not look so terrible come Super Bowl Sunday.
There will be no game preview this week. Instead I’ll have a column up first thing tomorrow morning that will serve a similar purpose.
