Keeping George away so cw doesn’t change his mind….GENIUS!
Some people are scared off by the neck. Some people dont get excited by a technician with just good but not great size and athleticism. I think most people though just form their opinions based on what they see others say about the player without ever watching a snap and it creates a kind of cycle of negative opinions. I personally think hes going to be Trey Hendrickson after a few seasons if his neck can hold up.Not sure why latu is not getting more love as he led the nation in sacks was productive for 2 years and he checked out fine for his medicals at the combine.
Just bring the fucking contract with you already Poles
Ya all medical concerns mostly. Vander esch just retired and had neck issues coming inSome people are scared off by the neck.

I don’t mind him at all but I really like Jared Verse. With professional coaching that that quickness he has, I think dude can be really good.We need Dallas Turner to drop
That’s what I’m saying. You don’t have enough to fix both sides this year. And that’s ok, that’s how it goes. So go heavy on either offense or defense. I would say offense but I’m down for whatever.Since it seems logical Williams is the pick, screw the defense and load up on offense. First year is so critical for development that you can’t risk it. Bowers at 9 might be the under the radar pick that creates the mismatches that the Chiefs have had with Kelce. All contenders have Pro Bowl level play from the TE position. Kmet is decent but can’t create mismatches. Everett is a stop gap. Go Bowers.
Hope they have a secret interview with him tomorrow since they are doing a day earlier.
I think the Bears will draft a WR at 9...Nabers, Odunze or MHj
I've been running thru scenarios in my head and the Bears have enough draft capital next year to make in season trades....Poles is not afraid of that...They could trade for another edge rusher mid season
Nope. Cheapest way to do it is in draft. Especially in 1st round. 5th year control. By the time Sweat’s deal is done, Bears can hopefully sign their homegrown pass rusher to a new deal.If they could avoid paying a 2nd DE a large salary for the next 5 years, I think they'll jump at that opportunity.
Add to that that we get mired in the draftnik talk and the mock drafts that it really creates this false perception in our minds about what will/should happen. Then the draft plays out a lot differently in many respects and people go "WHOA he was taken too high!" or "wow did that guy really slide." It's cause the NFL never saw things as the "draft experts" and the fans did so we're just catching up to reality after having had WAY too much time to mentally masturbate over it.Verse would be just fine at 9.
You really think Poles is still in the business of a WR? Any one of those guys would be the #3 while we've already got two quality pass-catchers at TE as well. It's be a terrible ROI, at least in year 1, which Poles seems to be setting himself up for with the Keenan Allen move.WR, LT, DE. That's where I want to go at #9:
Plan A—if any of Harrison, Nabers, or Odunze fall—take them.
Plan B—if your elite LTs (Alt, Fashanu, Fuaga) are there—take one.
Plan C—If your elite DEs (Turner, Verse) are there—take one.
Plan D—if you feel there is depth at LT enough to trade back 2-4 spots, do it.
Plan E—if you feel there is depth at DE enough to trade back 2-4 more spots, do it.
IDK how many Blue Chip players they have on their boards. If it's 13, we can move back a little.
If it's 20, we can move back farther, or more than once.
Bowers feels like a luxury pick, as much as I love him and think he's elite, I wouldn't hate it.
I almost forgot about Tyree Wilson. Did he have a decent year?Add to that that we get mired in the draftnik talk and the mock drafts that it really creates this false perception in our minds about what will/should happen.

There's certainly an argument for Verse being the best edge player in the draft. He's probably a better prospect than Tyree Wilson last year who went #7. So being able to take him at #9 is the likely scenario, assuming Atlanta scoops up Turner.
From a maximizing resources standpoint, it'd be a good move from Poles. The top of this draft is stacked with elite offensive talent so he figures to get one of, if not the very best defensive players from it instead of the 3rd best WR or second best OT.
Nope!I almost forgot about Tyree Wilson. Did he have a decent year?
I won’t be upset with one of the top two edges.You really think Poles is still in the business of a WR? Any one of those guys would be the #3 while we've already got two quality pass-catchers at TE as well. It's be a terrible ROI, at least in year 1, which Poles seems to be setting himself up for with the Keenan Allen move.
Also, there's been talk that Fashanu could fall a bit. Are you really wanting to draft the clear second-best OT in the draft and put one of your better current players in Braxton Jones on the bench because of it?
The most glaring need on this team right now is an edge rusher opposite Sweat and Poles has positioned himself perfectly to (possibly) get himself the pick of that litter. I might be setting myself up for disappointment or maybe Poles is pulling a fast one on all of us, but at this point, it's hard to see him going anything other than Verse/Turner/Latu at #9, and my guess is Verse.
