We explain Ben Johnson's "Chess Piece" strategy and why you can't coach 4.2 speed. • [00:08:30] THE ASYMMETRIC ADVANTAGE: The "Google/Android" move—how flipping the field with Xavian Thomas changes the Bears' math. • [00:11:00] BUILT ON GRIT: Why Logan Jones and Sam Roush are the "dawgs" that will keep the Bears' rushing attack in the Top 3. • [00:14:00] 2026 IS THE YEAR: Why the Super Bowl window isn't five years away—it's opening RIGHT NOW at Soldier Field.

In Episode 2 of Bleav in Bears, host Brandon Tracks Hiatt sits down with co-host and lifelong Bears fan D-Nice to break down every pick, every position of need, and every name Bears fans need to know before Draft Night. Brandon and D-Nice go pick by pick through every realistic option at No. 25 overall — edge rusher Cashius Howell, Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Florida defensive tackle Caleb Banks, Georgia offensive tackle Monroe Freeling, and Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. They debate which pick makes the most sense, which one is a hard no, and whether Ryan Poles should stay at 25 or trade back for extra capital.
