The Chicago Bears Are On The Clock With The First Pick In The NFL Draft

Heading into today, it wasn't impossible, but it was definitely improbable, unrealistic, and inconceivable that the Bears would wind up with the #1 pick in this years Draft.

But I'll be damned. They threw Peterman to the wolves against Minnesota to tank, and this man shoved it up his owners ass sideways to help the cause.

Lovie Smith is a freaking madman.

The Texans lead the entire first half today in Indy. By two scores for the majority. They blew the lead thanks to two gift-wrapped interceptions from Davis Mills in the 3rd. One of which was a telegraphed pick-six.

They put themselves in position for a late 4th quarter comeback, but after shooting themselves in a foot on third down with a penalty, it looked like all hope was lost…

Then this happened.

And then, rather than take it to OT, they kept the offense on the field and went for two, and the win.

It's fucking criminal Lovie Smith could be (is probably) losing his job after only a season in Houston (blog incoming on this), so for him to set the organizations hopes of landing the #1 pick on fire- and taking Bryce Young, not CJ Stroud, sorry Mintz, without having to trade picks to secure him, is sweet justice.

As Red Ed stated, if you want your guy, you're gonna have to talk to Ryan Poles. 

Hopefully the Bears get a HAUL for that pick, trade down a round and continue to build by giving Fields some protection on the line, and an actual weapon or two to throw to. They'll have the most money in the league to spend cap-wise too (estimated $124 million). 

Things are looking up for Bears fans!

p.s.- Let's go Lions.
