Okay. And ideally on some of this as you were underlining earlier, I think the bears would love to trade back out of 25 if somebody would love to trade up. But as a first round target, all right, here we go with with with my edge and my desire and his name is TJ Parker. Hogue, you underline him, but not as beautifully as I'm about to this guy played in 39 games at Clemson. And by the way, he didn't miss a game in his final 39 games, which is a beautiful thing. I like durability. How many times did he have tackles for loss in those 39 games? 41 and a half. Wow. So we're talking about more than one a game. Basically one a game, but that's outstanding. 32% of his tackles were for loss. This guy lives in the in the back. You know what he read that in the beast for sure. I definitely did. But I've got notes from all over the place for Adam. This let me tell you something else that he does. You know what I like about guy? You know what I like? I like good family backgrounds. His dad, army, 11 years. I like dudes that come from that military families. You probably woke up. You were making your bed when you were four years old. Brex hasn't made his bed at any point in his life yet. He moved around a ton as a kid. All right. And then so in when he went, he's going to be moving to Chicago, a colder climate. I went in. I actually did a deep dive on the weather and he said, quote, I like change. Cold weather doesn't bother me. That's my guy. I'm JJ Parker. Come on down. You're my edge. Chicago Bears pick 32. Ideally, we add a draft pick along with it. By the way, if it doesn't work out and somehow some way, Emmanuel McNeil Warren falls to 25. No problem there. I like you underlined it yesterday. The peanut punch. That's a natural fit. How many force fumbles did he have in his career? Toledo? You don't know. He had three last year. Well, right. So he had nine total in his career. He's one of nine children. He's the oldest of the nine children. The mom was leaning on him to be a leader early in his career. I like guys like that. He's this guy's more of a quiet leader type, but that's fine. Nine times nine. Ed Rooney, I like you nine. Now let's go over to your guy, Armace and Thomas, who by the way, I look at him. I'm more because I've seen him mocked in the late 40s. So I'm dreaming that either the Bears are somehow some way moving up. It doesn't it doesn't line up perfectly. But what I like about him, Hogue, and I think you said this to the dudes that never quit her, this guy is the motor is high. I look for high motors. I like working with high motors. You never quit. You never quit. Stephen like motors. It almost is is is it's almost it puts him down to even say he's got a motor. I know that Dennis Allen, according to Gary Ross, doesn't like bendy athletes. I don't really believe that, but this guy is a big time bender. He's explosive. I enjoy all that. And I think he's the only player in the history of Oklahoma to go to Oklahoma and actually graduate and get a degree from Oklahoma. Nobody gets a degree from Oklahoma. He actually went to class. I like that about him. Shots fired at Stacy Dales. Okay, there's there's two. I don't I don't have you heard of a guy by the name of Key on Crawford is making Carm Macquan one point. Now, what do you what do you like about him? Hogue, this is your segment, bro. Well, just listen to what I like. That's right. What do you like motor? It's always revving. This is a he's they compare him to a Rottweiler to a bulldog to somebody who's just going to eat your face up. That's my guy. Mom, military Crawford. Now these guys could almost fall all the way. You could be getting him in the in the in the late stages here. Some people have him as low as 90. So maybe the bears can get a later value. But I this is a huge high character person quoted from one scout. Always see him working. Coach say he does even more when people aren't watching. What do you do when people aren't watching? What do you do? I don't want to know this guy. And you know what I love about him too? I'm always looking for at least one guy that was a Hooper first. This dude played basketball for three is one year of football in high school. I love dudes who I like Hoopers because basketball players are the greatest athletes out there. I'm a great Hooper that that tracks. So Keon Crawford, you're a later round guy that I would love to see the bears take a flyer on. And my last one that I'll put in here today, Stephen, leave the fridge hunter. Texas Tech has you love this guy fallen. I'm seeing him mocked where the bears are picking at 57 and 60. If you watch the tape on the fridge hunter, by the way, had a great conversation with him. I fell in love with the combine. The fridge hunter moves like he's 250 and he's 340 350. And he's not perfect as far as a guy that's going to get to the quarterback. But if that dude is sitting there at either 57 or 60 with the bears needs at defensive tackle to me, that's an absolute no brainer. Take the shot at his personality would be incredible. I would love to see that's the most dynamic defensive tackle that I've seen when he's going right. So if that's actually sitting there at in the second round, I'd love to see him drink, grab the fridge. There's a reason Chevy trucks are known for their dependability.
