Poles has no track record for drafting lineman high. He hasn't had a chance to yet as he did not last year and this is only his 2nd year.

I do think it's fair to say based on last year that he values high RAS scores.

NFL Combine: Rashee Rice and Kayshon Boutte could be prime Day 2 targets for the Chicago Bears - CHGO Sports

INDIANAPOLIS — Building around Justin Fields must be the Chicago Bears' top priority this offseason. General manager Ryan Poles needs to bring in players that

Love something R.Rice said.


“Regardless of where the ball is, I’m going to catch it,” Rice said.

He went on to say he doesn’t believe in 50-50 balls, because for Rice it’s a “100-0” ball. He pointed to a specific play against Maryland that showcases this ability.

I’m a fan from what I’ve seen

So many players to like from this draft class, I'd be ecstatic if the Bears somehow landed 4 elite prospects.

I actually think this wr class is a lot deeper than last year, just doesn't have the top end talent of the last couple years

Poles did good job getting ahead of dumpming that contract because it pays Mack like 27 million a year in 2023 & 2024.

No one is taking that number off of the Bolts' hands, but it's only 9 million in dead cap to release him....so I bet he is a free agent soon.

Agreed.

It might depend on where Mack sees his future. I could easily seen him reworking his contract to stay with the Bolts if he thinks they are contender.

I think Macknis definitely entering the $10M year part of his career

I’ve Been saying that for awhile.

Exactly. This is the best WR class if you want to draft for position. This isn’t the class to go into looking for a WR1 or 2. Instead, it is the one to find an X, Y, or Z. Now, could one of them turn out to be a 1? Sure. I’m high on dudes like Denzel Mims, but again, it is more likely that he and Zay Flowers are great support in the slot as opposed to drafting them thinking you’re getting a number 1.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba won't run 40 at Combine, but says hamstring is 100 percent

Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba's final season at Ohio State didn't include much time on the field because of a hamstring injury, but he said that the injury is no longer a major concern on Friday.

Yeah I’m kinda out on this guy. You’ve had all season off and you are saying “you haven’t had enough reps” BUT your hammy is 100%. **** that.

We’re all gonna point and laugh at you when JSN becomes a perennial pro bowler.

But I thought Poles got fleeced in that trade from what I read on here???

Kinda like the way people always point and laugh at you.

Sounds like the same people who thought you could get a first round pick for Allen Robinson or Cam Meredith.

Those people are not thinking very clearly, probably from reading too many fansided articles.

It's a worse crisis than Fentanyl.

Do you have a link to the interview that you could post for the group or maybe perhaps if not then maybe perhaps you could summarize or give some key soundbights as to what made Nolan Smith's interview so "great?"

 

[remydat]

It is likely the Chargers always viewed Mack as possibly a one year rental. After trading for him they restructured his contract to make his cap hit in 2022 just under 9 million but to increase his cap hits this year and next to 27m. There was no way that he was ever going to play under those amounts. So more than likely they expected they would cut or restructure his contract again.

Very plausible that he hasn't been training because he wants to be cautious with his hammy and its smarter for him to take the extra time and run at his pro day instead.

Ummm restructures don’t usually work better for cutting a player early. I doubt Mack took a pay cut in his guaranteed money.

That’d be like converting a signing bonus to a base salary lol

Healed and 100% up to full dynamics, ready for your best comparative 40 aren't the same thing. Same could be said for Carter.
