Taylor Doll chats with Pride of Detroit writer Jeremy Reisman on newest Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond and what he can bring to the offense in addition to special teams. They discuss him being reunited with both Ben Johnson and Antwaan Randle El and his reputation of being a hard worker.

Taylor Doll is joined by Falcons beat reporter D. Orlando Brown, who has covered the Falcons for over 20 years. They talk about new Bears DT Kentavius Street, his role on the Falcons defense, his versatility, and his time playing behind Grady Jarrett. They also chat about Ian Cunningham and Dennis Allen's defense.

Taylor Doll is joined by Matt Taylor, the radio voice of the Indianapolis Colts, to talk about one of the newest Chicago Bears defensive linemen, Neville Gallimore, who stepped in for an injured DeForest Buckner last season for the Colts.

Chicago Bears have been searching for a dominant defensive lineman for years. This week on Chicago Draft Room, we're doing a full breakdown of the 2026 NFL Draft's defensive line class — and asking the question every Bears fan needs answered: is this finally the year they land a franchise cornerstone up front? We're ranking the prospects, debating the value, and telling you exactly who Chicago should be targeting. Plus, what other positions can the Bears NOT avoid or is going all-in on DL the best approach for Ryan Poles in the 2026 NFL Draft?

The Chicago Bears made a few nice moves in free agency, but they didn't make any big splashes and did almost nothing to the defensive line. Bill Zimmerman explains how George McCaskey and ownership has failed the Bears football operations and what could have been done to better improve the roster.

The Bears made their moves and now it's time to break them all down. On this episode of the Chicago Draft Room podcast, we're grading Chicago's first wave of free agency — Coby Bryant, Garrett Bradbury, Jedrick Wills, and more — and unpacking exactly how each signing reshapes the Bears' draft strategy heading into April.

Then we get into the biggest storyline in the NFL right now: Maxx Crosby. Baltimore backed out, the Raiders are back on the market, and the Bears are reportedly in the conversation. What's the right price to bring Mad Maxx to Chicago?

In this episode:

• Coby Bryant's 3-year, $40M deal — is safety off the board in the draft?
• Garrett Bradbury and the center situation post-Drew Dalman
• What Jedrick Wills and Braxton Jones mean for the OT draft picture
• How free agency reshapes Chicago's approach on the first two days of the NFL draft.
