00:00The Bears should view themselves as a playoff team in 2025.

00:04That should be their goal.

00:05They should try to get there.

00:06I think that this guy has the possibility

00:09of getting them to a top 10, top five offense.

00:14I don't know how quickly that happens.

00:16And I don't know if that happens

00:18without investing a lot into the offensive line.

00:22And I think that should be the priority.

00:24I think it's important for the Bears

00:26to find a couple of starters immediately, maybe draft one.

00:33They just need help.

00:35So invest some of that money.

00:37You got $75 million, just under $75 million, $74.8,

00:41whatever it is.

00:42Invest some of that in the offensive line.

00:45You're going to need your Penny Sewell.

00:46I don't know how you're going to get that.

00:50That's going to take kind of a genius draft move.

00:53It seems like there are two very highly thought

00:55of left tackles that are in this draft.

00:58They're going to go pretty high, probably

01:00before the Bears pick a 10.

01:02It wouldn't bother me if the Bears decided

01:05to take the best offensive lineman available

01:08when they choose.

01:10So maybe that's overdrafting someone.

01:12It wouldn't bother me.

01:14If they got a guy who is rock solid 10-year player,

01:18they need to do that.

01:19They need to keep doing it in the second round as well.

01:23So I would invest draft capital into getting

01:27the offensive line right.

01:28I think that's going to be the key to doing

01:30the things he wants to do.
