Rebuilding the Bears: A Retrospective Look is a 3 part series where Kev and Adam review the work Poles and his front office has done to rebuild the Chicago Bears by revisiting each offseason and the moves made. In this episode, we look back at the 2023 Offseason.

Since everyone else seems to be doing a QB Draft, Kev and Adam decided to do one of their own.

Kevin and Adam compete and draft the best NFL Starting Roster they can put together based on all of the existing 2024 NFL players.

Adam and Kevin break down the current state of the Bears’ offensive position groups following the draft. Kevin struggles to remember five fruits. Adam is still unsure whether R.W. McQuarters actually exists.

Adam and Kevin recap the Bears’ draft while it’s still fresh in everyone’s heads. Adam limits his Noah Sewell thoughts to under 10 minutes. Kevin chugs a small Gatorade in 3 seconds.

Adam and Kevin wrap up the trilogy by talking about EDGE prospects. Kevin’s internet works great and if he sounds weird he was doing it on purpose. Adam decides he won’t be joining the 7th floor crew.

Adam and Kevin discuss the offensive tackle prospects. Kevin isn’t mad that Adam forgot to record the first episodes Adam isn’t mad either.

Adam and Kevin give their thoughts on some defensive interior draft targets. Kevin ponders the anatomy of man, and the anatomy of man’s best friend. Adam makes the case for Calijah Can’t-See-the-Field and his little t-rex arms. (Credit to Austin Gayle of the Ringer for the Kancey Nickname)

We said we wouldn't but then we did! Previously unreleased, we decided to give the public what they want, every take we have about Justin Fields, the narrative surrounding him, and the people talking about him! Listen to us mumble stumble and vomit all over ourselves as we attempt to record our first ever episode and see why we never wanted it to see the light of day! 

Adam and Kevin talk about the next batch of Bears signings. Adam reminisces about having his hair straightened. Kevin outlaws a former Bears’ name from being mentioned.

Adam and Kevin continue to talk about Ryan Poles’ presser and talk through the draft’s top nine picks. Kevin needlessly makes potential enemies for the show. Adam drives 135 MPH.

Adam and Kevin talk about the first batch of Bears signings. Kevin poses a hypothetical that may or may not have a point. Adam tries to spell “Samardzija” and ends up speaking Portuguese. Editors Note: this was recorded on 03/15/23 but due to technical issues, is very very late

Adam and Kevin officially anoint King Poles. We talk about the surplus trade value, whether DJ Moore is great or merely very good, what the bears might do with the 9th pick, and whether panthers fans should be happy.  Adam provides an important Okereke update. Kevin wastes money betting on the #1 pick.

You thought it was fascinating hearing Adam and Kevin talk about offensive free agent targets? Well here’s defensive free agents! We try to identify the bears next 3-tech, talk about how terrible the free agent edge rushers are, and decide whether we care about linebacker or corner. Adam refuses to talk about Eddie Jackson. Kevin gets catfished.

Come for the outdated WR thoughts, stay for the outdated Saquon Barkley and Orlando Brown thoughts! Adam and Kevin talk about offensive players the bears’ could target in free agency and trade. Kevin dismisses the possibility of acquiring a player like DJ Moore and Adam doesn’t edit it out for some reason.
