Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Chicago’s offensive rebuild is going well, but the harsh reality is that the job is still incomplete. At the moment, Chicago’s wide receiver room looks solid. Keenan Allen and DJ Moore provide an excellent pair of targets, and they might combine for 20 targets a game if Allen stays true to form and Moore has a slightly elevated usage rate compared to their last couple of years. Sticking with the same averages, Kmet and Everett should be good for the 8 targets per game that would represent the peak TE usage rate under Shane Waldron’s offenses with the Seattle Seahawks ..read more

The 2024 NFL Draft is just one week away, and after a long pre-draft process, rankings for most analysts have finalized. I love looking at the draft as a year-round process, with my scouting on this year’s underclassmen starting in April of last year. Though most of my tape watching this month has gone towards the 2025 class, I’ve still been making a few minor tweaks to my board. Now, I’ve decided to publish my finalized rankings over a series of articles. I’ll get around ..read more

Photo by Adam Ruff/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images WCG’s lead draft analyst spoke with Maryland’s intriguing star cornerback. With an All-AAC and All-Big Ten nominations, a Hula Bowl invite, a Shrine Bowl invite, and a College Football Playoff appearance, there’s a pretty accomplished resume for Maryland cornerback Ja’Quan Sheppard. The last two seasons have especially been productive for Sheppard, having tallied 18 pass deflections between his final season at Cincinnati and his lone year at Maryland. As one of the most physical cornerbacks in this year’s class, he figures to be a likely draf ..read more

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Getting Rome Odunze with the No. 9 overall pick would be a dream come true for the Chicago Bears. But draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah thinks at least one team might complicate that dream. On one hand, thank goodness no one is asking what the Chicago Bears are doing at the quarterback position anymore. Following the trade of Justin Fields and the continued revelations about the rest of this NFL Draft class, all roads lead to the Bears taking Caleb Williams, the clear best quarterback in this year’s draft in this writer’s opinion, with the No. 1 overall pick in the ..read more

Matthew Dobbins-USA TODAY Sports Greg Gabriel breaks down the top three receivers in this draft class. The depth and quality of the wide receiver class in this Draft is as good as I have ever seen, and I have been doing this for 43 years! What it means is that clubs will be able to select a quality receiver at least into the third round and perhaps the fourth. While there is no questioning how deep this class is, there is some argument as to who is the best of the group. If we go back to the beginning of the 2023 College Football Season or even during the summer, the odds-on favorite to be the ..read more

In part two, we wanted to know an under-the-radar position the Bears may address in the draft. Here’s today's topic... Who are some later-round prospects you have an eye on for the Bears? Josh Sunderbruch: Tanor Bortolini is an undersized lineman by some standards, but he has athleticism and aggression that could translate well into being a fantastic flex piece in t ..read more
