So if the Bears do something super bad, like cheating scandal or whatever, and lose their first round pick, does that mean the Raiders lose their pick?
I don't think so, I would assume there is some sort of protections for that but could be wrong.

Hopefully they blow chunks to get the Raiders a better pick.
Eddy Pineiro is starting to pull ahead in the Kicker competition. Fry has been doing OK but missed 2 kicks in the most recent practice. Pineiro was 12-12 including a 60 yarder.
Pineiro has the better leg. Fry had the accuracy. If Pineiro keeps only missing 0-1 kicks each day, he's going to be a Bear.
From the way both guys are kicking, the loser will probably be signed by some other team.
I think this competition has been another good Nagy idea. Both guys have really improved recently. Hopefully the competition is toughening them up.
18000 fans because it was family day...18,000 fans at the last practice. The kickers had to come out and kick against each other. Sometimes the team is split into two groups and one group is "punished" with exercises if their kicker misses.
Nagy's doing whatever he can to increase the pressure on the guys way more than most teams do for their "forgotten" kickers.
I think he is creating a couple of badass kickers.
If you look at their stats since the season started their kicking percentages would have them ranked 10th and 16th in the league last year. That's far better than what we had last year.

I still think they will sign a veteran kicker that gets cut from another team.
They are pretty much kicking in perfect elements at practice. Weather is great, no crowd noise, no pressure etc. So I would take them doing well with a grain of salt.
Bears released their official depth chart today.
Interesting point is Bilal Nichols is starting ahead of Jonathan Bullard.
Tarik Cohen is listed as the starting RB with Davis and Montgomery 2-3.
Kickers were listed in alphabetical order without a designated starter.
