Brad Biggs talks Bears, previews NFL Draft (Hour 2)

In this hour-long segment of the Mully & Haugh Show, host Brad Biggs joins to break down the upcoming NFL Draft, focusing on the Chicago Bears' draft strategy and needs. Biggs highlights Zion Young as a top edge rusher prospect, emphasizing his production and physical tools despite a recent DUI arrest, and suggests the Bears could target him in the final third of the first round. He discusses the Bears' long-standing pass rush deficiencies, noting only three seasons with double-digit sack totals in 11 years, and underscores the importance of addressing edge pressure. The conversation explores potential trade-up scenarios from pick 25, with speculation about targeting an edge rusher or offensive tackle, and the financial cost of moving up. Biggs also evaluates the Bears’ defensive backfield, noting concerns about cornerback depth after letting Nashawn Wright depart, and questions whether the team has undervalued the position. He weighs the case for drafting a safety early, citing the potential for a transformative impact, while acknowledging that safeties are often undervalued in the first round. The discussion then pivots to the center position, where Biggs argues it may be a higher priority than left tackle due to the lack of a long-term solution after the retirement of a Pro Bowl center. He highlights potential center prospects like Connor Liu, Molly Sam Hecht, and Logan Jones, suggesting the Bears could use a first-round pick to secure a future starter. The episode closes with a preview of upcoming draft coverage and analysis from the show’s team.
