S4E129 | Chicago Bears' Dream Pass Rusher? Top DE Prospects Ranked!
The Chicago Bears need a game-changing pass rusher, but only a few defensive ends are truly worthy of a first-round grade. In this episode, we break down the elite edge rushers who should be on the Bears' radar and whether they’re worth a top pick. 🔥 Which DE is the perfect fit for Chicago? Let's dive in! 🔥 🔹 Abdul Carter – Can the Bears trade up? Carter’s explosiveness is undeniable, but with his rising stock, will the Bears need to make a bold move to secure him? We break down what it would take. 🔹 Mike Green – Small school, but worthy? Overlooked? Maybe. Ready for the NFL? Absolutely. We discuss whether Green’s dominant tape is enough to justify a first-round selection despite coming from a smaller program. 🔹 Mykel Williams – Yep, he's worthy of going early No debate here—Williams has all the tools to be a top-tier NFL pass rusher. But just how high should the Bears consider drafting him? 🔹 James Pearce – Does he fit the Bears' system? Pearce has the raw talent, but does he match the Bears' defensive scheme? We analyze if he’s the missing piece Chicago desperately needs. 👀 Which defensive end should the Bears target in the first round?

Both can stretch the field and take the top off a defense! ⚡🏃‍♂️ 🔹 Shifty Slot Machines 🎯 – Need a reliable target in the short and intermediate game?

S4E127 | Chicago Bears’ Biggest Draft MISTAKE? Passing on a LT Sparks Fan Outrage! | Mock Draft Recap
The Chicago Bears’ latest mock draft scenario has fans fired up, and for good reason! Did the Halas Huddle make a franchise-altering mistake by passing on a left tackle? In this episode of News or Noise, we break down the hottest takes and fan reactions to our latest draft projections.

🔥 Landing Tyler Warren After Trading Back – Too Good to Be True?

One of the biggest talking points is the idea of trading back and still landing Penn State TE Tyler Warren. Fans are calling this a dream scenario, but is it realistic? Warren has the athleticism and size to be a real weapon, but can the Bears actually pull off this move and still address their biggest needs? Or is this just wishful thinking? 

🤔 The Bears Wouldn’t Know What to Do with Two TEs!

A major criticism from fans is that the Bears have never properly used multiple tight ends. With Cole Kmet already in place, would Warren even get the opportunity to shine? Chicago’s offensive history doesn’t exactly scream "TE-friendly," and unless there’s a major shift in play-calling, adding another tight end could be a wasted pick.

💪 This DL Class is Too Good to Pass Up!

Some fans argue that defensive line should be the top priority, especially with so many elite talents available in this draft. The Bears need a stronger presence in the trenches, and skipping out on a dominant defensive tackle or defensive end could be a massive mistake. Would passing on a DT and DE be GM suicide? Some think so!

⚠️ The Bears MUST Draft a LT This Year!

The most heated debate? The Bears absolutely have to draft a left tackle. Protecting Caleb Williams should be priority No. 1. If Chicago passes on a new LT in this draft, are they setting themselves up for disaster? With Braxton Jones heading into his final year and coming off a major injury, skipping this position could haunt them for years.

🔥 What do YOU think? Did the Bears nail this mock draft, or are they making a huge mistake?

S4E126 | Chicago Bears Pull Off a DRAFT HEIST! Trade Down & STILL Snag a Top-5 Prospect in 7-Round Mock Draft
📢 CHICAGO BEARS PULL OFF A DRAFT HEIST! 🏆
Trade Down & STILL Snag a Top-5 Prospect in This 7-Round Mock Draft! 🐻⬇️

The Chicago Bears just MASTERED the 2025 NFL Draft with a genius trade-down strategy—and somehow, they STILL landed Tyler Warren, a top-5 prospect that fans and analysts are raving about! How did this happen?! We break it all down in this full 7-round mock draft!

🔥 FIRST-ROUND TRADE-DOWN MAGIC & TYLER WARREN STEAL! 🔥

The Bears took a calculated risk, trading back in the first round to stockpile more draft capital… and it PAID OFF BIG TIME! Despite moving down, they still landed Tyler Warren, an elite prospect with superstar potential. Many experts had him as a top-5 talent, and now he's rocking the navy and orange! 🐻💙🧡

📈 BPA STRATEGY: BUILDING A FUTURE CONTENDER! After securing Warren, the guys at Halas Huddle switched to a Best Player Available ("BPA") approach—maximizing value at multiple positions of need:

✅ A new running back to add explosiveness to the offense
✅ A path to finding a new safety to strengthen the secondary
✅ Depth in the trenches on both sides of the ball
✅ And MORE hidden gems that could shape the future of this team!

💬 What do YOU think of this draft? Did the Bears just win the draft with this trade-down strategy?

S4E120 | Chicago Bears make roster moves, add $10 million to their salary cap | Ian Cunningham/Jaguars news!
The Chicago Bears are already making moves to the roster. Cutting players now gives them ample opportunity to sign with other teams earlier.

Were the roster cuts the right decision for this team? Let us know how you feel in our comments on our YouTube page!

Ian Cunningham was a finalist for the Jacksonville Jaguars general manager position. Many wanted to see him receive the gig to give the Bears an extra third-round pick in 2025 and another extra third-round pick in 2026.

That did not happen though as Cunningham is sticking around.

The Chicago Bears have a lot of holes to fill and the team needs to find players who not only meet their salary investments but, also exceed them.

They especially need help in the trenches.

Will the additional money they received from cutting two key players on the 2024 roster be everything Poles and Ben Johnson need to make a serious run in 2025?

S4E119 | Chicago Bears spend big in free agency, fix trenches with multiple top free agent signings
In Part 2 of the Halas Huddle mock offseason, the Chicago Bears spend big in free agency by signing multiple top free agents. Did they choose wisely?

Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson add some key players to the roster while leaving some cap space to roll over into 2026.

These targeted signings will help the Chicago Bears reach playoff contention as early as 2025.

Will the additional free agents help set the Chicago Bears up for the 2025 NFL Draft? It will definitely give them some added flexibility.

What about the idea of making a trade instead? There are trade rumors that the Bears might be interested in trading for a top edge rusher, but will the guys at Halas Huddle follow those rumors or follow their own draft strategy?

The 2024 NFL season is officially over and the offseason is nearly upon us.

The Chicago Bears have plenty of holes to fill and this offseason will be important with Ben Johnson now the new head coach.

The Halas Huddle puts their GM hats on in this 3-part series.

S4E117 | Chicago Bears 2025 Draft: Only THESE Prospects Deserve a Top 10 Spot
The 2025 NFL Draft is a few months away, but draft season is heavily upon us.

The NFL Combine is only a few weeks away and with a new coaching staff, it's time to make some big changes.

We recently released our first mock draft of the season, and Rob spoke to the fact that the draft class isn't top-heavy.

With only two quarterbacks projected to go in the top 10, not many players will fall to the Bears at 10.

Also, many analysts have very different prospects within their top 10.

Rob shares the only players he finds worthy of a top-10 pick.

He and Justin discuss which players make sense for the Chicago Bears at 10.

Will the Bears go with an offensive lineman like Will Campbell or Kelvin Banks? 

Will they make a splash to somehow land Abdul Carter? 

What about going with a running back like Ashton Jeanty?

Who else makes the worthy list, and are the Chicago Bears likely to draft a player at the 10 spot or will they trade back?

In this first mock draft for the Halas Huddle, Rob revisits his BearGoggles seven-round mock draft, including a historic number of first-round trades.

Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson reshaped the offensive and defensive lines by focusing on the trenches. The Chicago Bears come away with a stud pass rusher while still fixing the biggest needs along the offensive line.

What grade would you give this mock draft if the Chicago Bears could come away with two starting offensive linemen, a stud EDGE rusher, a backup defensive tackle and a potential ball hawk to replace one of their safeties?
