That has nothing to do with Poles’ personal preference. For all anybody knows, he could prefer Tyree Wilson or Murphy at edge. My point is that it’s an assumption based off of nothing Poles has said.
More like going to nursing home.
I desperately want a true #1 but if you give me Flowers to go with Mooney and Claypool and add Kmet and maybe even a pass catching TE to go with Kmet and a RB that's a threat to catch passes and i'm pretty happy to see what that group can do. Flowers has been my guy from the beginning of all of this but sure does look like he's going somewhere in the middle to late 1st round, so we'd need a really nice trade down with that #1 pick to get a chance to get him.
I think its obvious Poles wants either/or Carter - they are the top prospects at 2 of the biggest positions of need for the team. But I'm guessing you are really trying to say he may not be committed to staying in top 4 to get them? I imagine if the right offer came along like SEA offering 5 and 20 for an easy example Poles happily trades down. Anderson is a better prospect than Murphy or Wilson, but you take that step down if it means you get Murphy/Wilson AND a Bijan robinson/OT/JSN/etc.
Just Mike Tannenbaum and his stupid thoughts.
Maybe. But what I’m saying is that picks aren’t predictable like that. You think Anderson is a better prospect, but maybe Poles sees something else. Every draft we see players go at surprising spots. See raiders drafts. See Lions drafts. Etc.
OK I got you, but at the same time you can still want a player even if they aren't your first choice at the position. Now that youve expanded on your opinion it looks like the issue is with semantics of the post and not your intended message - which apparently is that Poles may not have Anderson/Carter at the top of his board vs. not wanting them all together
You know, I would want Anderson but I wouldn’t doubt that he goes with an offensive lineman. Either way, in my opinion, you draft lineman on both sides. Good lineman play can get us better with that alone on both sides. Hell, everyone is saying if Fields can just get protection, he will dominate. If the D-line can get pressure, our backfield will do way better. And this was said with our last season roster. So then work on the fucking line! **** the other positions right now. If he wants to attack the WR and linebackers more next year, I’m fine with that. We lost so many close games with what we had this past year. Anything better can probably be enough to win us those games. Plus another year in the system for all the players. Either way, the arrow is pointing up. The only thing we need to cross our fingers on is on draft players panning out. No matter how good of a GM is, at the end, he doesn’t know how they will really turn out.
Personally I would love for the Bear's to yield Anderson in the draft and the best FA defensive tackles available. I like the potential of our existing secondary and with some good linebackers in the draft, the improvement of the Bear's defense will be profound. Add a good TE/Big go to receiver and a big knuckle dragger RT and C in the draft and this team is in the play-offs
Salty AF hahahhaha
Oh believe me, I want that too. Anderson in the draft and Payne in FA. But I would understand if we can’t get Payne for whatever reason and if Poles goes OL first. But yes, that would be my first choice.
