Ryan Poles Detailed Why He Doesn't Fear Trading The #1 Pick

Ryan Poles' willingness to trade the #1 pick is unusual. However, he has his reasons, and he shared them in a recent interview.
www.sportsmockery.com www.sportsmockery.com


AT ONE POINT IN OUR CONVERSATION, I ASKED POLES ABOUT BALANCING HAVING PICKS TO GET TRUE DIFFERENCE-MAKERS (LIKE CHRIS JONES AND TRAVIS KELCE IN KANSAS CITY) VS. HAVING VOLUME TO CREATE A BALANCED ROSTER. HE THEN STOPPED ME WITH A REMINDER—JONES WAS THE 37TH PICK IN THE 2016 DRAFT, AND KELCE WAS THE 63RD PICK IN THE ’13 DRAFT.
“WHAT YOU LEARN OVER TIME IS REALLY THE MORE DRAFT CAPITAL YOU HAVE, THE MORE CHANCES, THE MORE SWINGS AT THE PLATE, YOU GET TO HIT SOME OF THOSE PLAYERS,” POLES SAYS. “ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SET THE ORGANIZATION UP LIKE WE HAVE TO DEVELOP PLAYERS, BECAUSE THEY MAY NOT HAVE EVERYTHING YET AND THEIR GAME MAY NOT BE COMPLETE. WITH TEACHING AND THE STUFF WE HAVE IN PERFORMANCE, WE CAN GET THEM TO HIT THEIR CEILING. AND THEN YOU CAN END UP WITH SOME OF THE GUYS LIKE THAT. SO HAVING MORE SWINGS, YOU WANT THAT, IT’S REALLY A NUMBERS GAME.”

OK Poles talking more swings is speaking my language. That’s exactly what I said for years about the QB position. Gotta take more swings. (Not now…. Except for backup QB)

But this is just encouraging stuff to me. Now if he talks about comp picks…..

whatever happens with poles and the trade downs if the bears can get marvin harrison jr next year with that extra 1st, we will actually have a potent offense....

I think Tremaine Edmunds makes more sense at that price. Higher ceiling, better physical gifts, better production and younger.

Edmunds has less tackles the last two years. Also think he’s a middle linebacker where Okreke is a Will.

I also prefer Edmunds. I wanted to draft him, and although he'll be expensive, I lole getting him still young and ascending.
