The ChatGPT mock nobody asked for
Because absolutely nobody asked for it, I had ChatGPT run a full Bears mock using a custom board built around the Bears actual setup, not consensus rankings.
The rules I gave it:
-build for Poles traits: motor, violence, explosion, “grizzly” front players
-build for Ben Johnson: separation, versatility, multiplicity on offense
-build for Dennis Allen: aggressive defense, versatile DBs and front-seven pieces
-de-emphasize QB and RB early because of Caleb Williams and the current roster
So the strategy became pretty simple... attack premium positions early, build the trenches and secondary first, then add offensive utility later.
It built me a list of 400 top Bears targets of what it would assume would be on their board. And then I had them suggest picks for each based on need and BPA. So yes, the LLM made the picks and not me. It even approved and declined trades for me.
Three takeaways. 1) It came up with a pretty decent draft. Not something almost any of us would come up with, but within the confines of these rules, it did ok, but D-Line heads like me are going to be mad about it. 2) Humans should do drafts and not computers. 3) I should've mowed the lawn instead of doing another mock draft.
