The Cubs had no hits through seven innings, but the Jameson Taillon redemption tour kept rolling as he held it close and Christopher Morel hammered a 3-1 heater to give the Cubs a surprising, come-from-behind W in Queens. theathletic.com/5459636/2024/0…

Wow, Cubs pull out a win in a game during which they were getting no-hit for seven innings. Jameson Taillon was dealing, Christopher Morel launched a clutch, two-run homer and the Cubs move to 18-11 with a 3-1 W. Remember that one when thinking of the blown saves or tough losses.

“This is something that he wanted once he got to that workout with Caleb Williams, this is what he wanted was to be drafted by the Bears.”

I'm sure you've heard about Caleb Williams' Hail Mary throw in high school. But there's so much more.

- 5:30 am breakfast clubs
- The 'board races'
- His workhorse tailback game
- The 3rd-and-33

Gonzaga knows what the Bears are getting. My story.

How did Rome Odunze get to work out with Caleb Williams, DJ Moore and Keenan Allen?

That’s where Odunze’s trainer, former NFL WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh, comes in.

Talked to T.J. Houshmandzadeh about the workout and the Bears’ new QB-WR connection. Story⤵️ theathletic.com/5454172/2024/0…

'They were the most thorough of any team.”

'I think people who say that are idiots.'

'He’s a rare, rare, rare guy, man.'

On the pursuit of J.J. McCarthy, and why he & those who know him best are so pumped about the fit:

UCLA LB Carl Jones and Illinois DT Keith Randolph to the Bears as UDFAs, per source. Jones had 5.5 TFL and 2 sacks last season.

Randolph had a 6th-round grade from Dane Brugler: 'He maintains gap integrity with his ability to lock out, track and do his job in the run game.'

One of the Bears UDFAs, OT Benedet has impressive height and athleticism. He played for the British Columbia Thunderbirds.

Another year, another UDFA QB for the Bears. Reed had a 6/7th-round grade per Dane Brugler.

'Reed is a competitive and instinctive passer with a natural feel for where to go with the ball, although several of his physical limitations will be difficult to overcome versusNFL speed.'

New Bears DE Austin Booker had 8 sacks and 12 TFL last season. Per Dane Brugler: 'Although he is still figuring out how and when to access his bag of tricks, Booker instinctively uses his rangy frame to create various leverage points and surprise blockers with his forceful hands.'

The Bears get their edge rusher, trading into Round 5 and taking Kansas' Austin Booker.

From Dane Brugler: 'He is an ascending player with the ability to maximize his athletic traits and body length/force with proper biomechanics.'

Booker was Dane's 78th-ranked player overall.

At pick no. 144, the Bills have traded their pick originally acquired from the Bears for Ryan Bates, back to the Bears. The Bills get a 2025 4th round pick out of it.

So basically, Ryan Bates for a 2025 4th.
