Other guys were able to come in after being traded or signed and make an immediate impact. I'm not writing him off. But it would be a good idea to get an impact slot receiver in the draft perhaps (maybe free agency) so Claypool can settle into that big body/jump-ball/red-zone type threat and not ask him to have to be a superstar. He's got Mooney opposite him already and we know Mooney can ball. JSN in the middle of those two would be a pretty damn good set of receiving options along with Kmet. Not elite bit certainly good enough to say Fields has got everything he needs to show that he's a superstar (assuming the line is addressed in a big way too).
There are no impact WRs available in FA.

Oh the Greg Olsen trade was worse. Good call on that.

The others were not as bad. The Niners actually made a great trade to get Trey Lance (those picks they gave up wound up being late round selections), they just didn't make the correct selection with the pick.
Whaaat??? Giving up three 1st and selecting wrong qb is better than give up a 2nd to a receiver?

Sidenote. Lareb1st is always a better pick as an early 2nd.

“I’m blessed to be able to read people,” Poles said about the QB market. “I can feel it. There’s urgency out there. There’s pressure.”

One interesting thing to keep in mind: When the league year begins March 15, teams can trade draft picks in 2023, ’24 and ’25. Beginning on draft day, April 27, teams can trade picks in ’23, ’24, ’25 and ’26. That could make waiting interesting for Chicago.

The three interested parties at the Combine, Poles said, included at least one “that’s further back than what I thought … But if I’m going to the next tier [on the Bears’ draft board], you’re gonna have to make up for that with more capital.

“The interesting part is having a conversation with one team, and then one hour later another team texts you wanting in on the trade and they’re not afraid of what the floor of what you’re asking for is.”

This is the sense I got from Poles, the unspoken sense: He views this as, potentially, the gift that keeps on giving. Everyone has seen what the Eagles have done in gathering more and more draft capital; last year they traded the 16th and 19th overall picks to the Saints for the 18th pick plus additional picks in the first, second and third rounds.

“No one’s gonna rush me,” Poles said. “I know I can get a ’24 one and a ’25 one. You’re telling me for the next two years I’ll have two ones? That’s either four really good players, or if we’re cruising, we can still trade back.”

Kincaid really doesnt add much. He is pretty much the same size as Claypool and a comparable blocker. So why spend a draft pick on a player whose skill set really can be replicated by Claypool?
uhhhh maybe a couple of extra years of cheap contract? Aren't you a money guy?

Also, maybe after a couple of years of mediocre play you could dupe some other team into giving you a 2nd rounder for him that actually turns into an end round 1 pick.

I was obviously talking on the field. I would prefer we just draft a TE who can block and catch and eventually replace Kmet as an inline TE instead of only masquerading as a TE.


LOL. Having to pay part of his salary to dump him.

I still remember all the training camp reports about how he was lighting it up and how Rams were excited about the big year he was going to have.

No he didn’t what? You think he’s lying to King?
I wouldn't of thought he'd come out and say what he's been offered by other teams so early in the process but i guess you didn't see my next post that i replied to that had some or all of the actual convo he had with King and he did actually say that and more.
