Instant Reaction To The Bears Trading For Jeffery Simmons + Listener Mailbag!

The Chicago Bears just made one of the biggest moves of the 2026 NFL trade deadline, acquiring Jeffrey Simmons from the Tennessee Titans for two first-round picks and a fourth-round pick. And because the trade was announced just minutes before recording, Kyle Crabbs and Garret Greenlee react to it in real time before diving into the rest of the 4th & Football mailbag. FIRST DOWN is all about the blockbuster Jeffrey Simmons trade. The Bears are already one of the NFL's better defensive teams, and with Caleb Williams playing at a high level, Kyle and Garret believe Chicago has entered a legitimate Super Bowl window. They debate whether giving up two first-round picks and a fourth-round pick is too much for Simmons, or whether draft capital ultimately doesn't matter if the Bears turn the move into a Super Bowl. The Titans' side is also examined. Tennessee is 1-6 and has struggled for multiple seasons, making Simmons a valuable trade chip for a roster that needs a much larger rebuild. The Titans now have another first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, a class the guys believe could be extremely talented. They also discuss what the trade means for the NFC North, especially with Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco making aggressive moves around the league. SECOND DOWN turns to the 2027 NFL Draft. The guys debate whether Jeremiah Smith is such an elite prospect that a team picking No. 1 overall should take him over a quarterback. They discuss Tennessee, Miami, the Jets, Los Angeles, Washington and Houston as teams that could be near the top of the draft and whether any of them should choose Smith over the quarterbacks available. They ultimately argue that Smith is one of the rare prospects who could justify taking a temporary quarterback solution rather than forcing a questionable QB prospect. The guys also answer whether Chiefs vs. 49ers could become Super Bowl III. THIRD DOWN focuses on Jacksonville. Could the Jaguars actually run away with the AFC South and clinch the division before the rest of the division can catch them? Kyle believes the most likely window is around Week 13-15, while Garrett calls his shot that Jacksonville could enter its Week 14 Monday Night Football matchup against Pittsburgh with a chance to clinch the division. They also discuss how Houston's loss to Jacksonville changed the division race. Then the guys tackle how Buffalo can fix its defense. They discuss the difficulty of transitioning from Sean McDermott's system to Jim Leonhard's scheme, the need for more time, secondary help and potential trade targets including Khalil Mack, Amani Hooker and Cam Bynum. FOURTH DOWN dives into a wild draft hypothetical. How high would you draft a kicker if you knew he would never miss a field goal under 60 yards? The guys debate whether that player would be worth a second-round pick or even a first-round selection, then revisit the history of kickers drafted extremely high. They also debate whether the No. 1 overall pick is overrated and whether teams should trade away the top pick rather than automatically selecting the best player available. Finally, Kyle and Garret make their predictions for Philadelphia vs. Washington and Chicago vs. Seattle. Can the Bears win the Super Bowl after trading two first-round picks for Jeffrey Simmons? Was Chicago's massive swing worth it? And should the No. 1 overall pick really be worth as much as teams treat it? Let us know what you think. This is 4th & Football with Kyle Crabbs and Garret Greenlee.
