Unless they massively overpay Garoppolo, why would he want to put himself in that position? There are enough QB needy teams out there that he can probably find one for a similar salary that doesn't come with the baggage of having a 1st round QB sitting over his shoulder if there are any struggles with the new team.

He worked with their OC at SF. He also worked with McDaniels in Vegas (meaning he knows he's a fucking prick and won't go there).

Or levis. Young and stroud that plan wouldn't make sense. Houston taking levis or Richardson at 2 would help for a double trade back I think too

They can't sign Jimmy G and take Stroud or Young, but they could absolutely just pass on a QB all together which would mean we could trade back to 4 and one of Young/Stroud or Richardson will be there which would get us a second awesome haul. I don't think Levis has much momentum right now based on his workouts. It's all Stroud and Richardson after the combine.

We have no idea what the relationship was like between McDaniels and Jimmy G. So, I do think the Raiders remain a possibility.

I would also think that Atlanta and Washington would be considerations. The Falcons in particular would seem like a potential good landing spot for him assuming there is mutual interest.

Partially joking because I'm a firm believer in McDaniels' ability to rub people the wrong way.

With the news coming out that the Raiders are interested in Lamar even though they'd have to fork over 2 1st rounders and the report that Poles was surprised by one of the teams that reached out - people on ESPN1000's night show were speculating that it was the Ravens who called about the 1st pick.

If it is true - I want those Raiders picks. Lamar is awesome but McDaniels has pissed off nearly everybody worth a damn in his short time as a head coach and that locker room will absolutely turn on him.

Okereke would be a great get. Very good in coverage, tackling machine would pair well with Sanborn.

Taylor
McGary
McGlinchey

I almost don't care about Taylor's run blocking. Adding an elite pass blocker helps this team more than a bad run blocker hurts, and maybe a heavy outside zone scheme utilizes his athleticism better than whatever the Jags have had with a different OC every year of his career. Taylor's also the youngest of the 3.

Counter argument is that the Bears are obviously a run blocking team, were #1 in yards last year and I don't think they will create a weakness there at the RT position. Pass blocking has to improve but I don't think the training wheels come off that fast that we are not run orientated team again next year, especially because we are good at it.

Best case IMO is next year is a transition year to more reliance on the passing game and we start to see an explosive offense open up.

 

[Burque]

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.

Yea well, a lot of us also wanted to draft a WR1/2 in the second round instead of trading for a bussed one what will want money in a year, but hey this is where we are as fans.

Who would that have been outside Pickens?

New staff was bent on creating a certain culture and I can't say that not picking Pickens isn't better in the long term based on that they had to establish and get the players to buy into last year.

What are you even talking about?

I was mentioning the fact that the bears gave up basically a 1st round pick for Claypool.

Everyone saying "well they didn't know it was going to basically be a 1st round pick" was too busy chiming how great he was going to be for the Bears immediately.... Which he wasn't, they've been deferring to him being a this year addition, which wasn't any of their initial praise, so we watch and wait and then if he is great the Bears either have to pay him too much money or let him go. It was a chit tier move. Poles hasn't been bad, but this was a bad decision. I wish Claypool was a Packer right now.

Yeah I misread that.

Imo it's too early to make a judgment. He barely saw any snaps last year. I don't know the exact reasons but who's gonna say that the Bears were all in on winning every game.

We saw what he is capable of and the WR position has never been at this much of a premium. As many have pointed out you won't find someone with his size/athleticism/skill set available at pick 32. I'm waiting to see what he does this year before passing any judgement on the trade.

His biggest issue is his attitude so if it's apparent that he hasn't matured then maybe Poles can be seen as inconsistent in this situation and deserves criticism.

We are all waiting, as Bears fans, to see what he does this season. The problem is that if he turns out to be great he will demand an expensive contract, and if he doesn't he will be a wasted trade of a high draft pick.

It really works out to lose lose for the Bears, and that is why I hated the trade.

If he's great then we re-sign him and be happy.

I agree that it sucks that we had to pay a high pick and get a short contract but there are not many good options out there. It's a tough market and I'm guessing Poles has a vision and belief in him specifically. I'm gonna see how next year plays out.

Not sure your point. Do you think I am Ryan Poles. Go cry to him.

The jury is still out on the Claypool trade. Give him an offseason and more time on the field with Fields. Only about half his total snaps were played with Fields. Either he was injured or Fields was

And there is a possibility the Bears will be acquiring an early 2nd round pick once they move the #1 pick

@dentfan can bijan pass block

Of course he can.

https://www.si.com/college/texas/.amp/football/longhorns-bijan-robinson-pass-blocking-tashard-choice-roschon-johnson-steve-sarkisian

But now, if anything, he's becoming passionate about it.

"I think that having that pass blocking down to a tee is very important for your future as a running back. When I was a freshman, sophomore, I was just trying to get the ball in my hands, make some plays, make people miss. I would do the pass blocking because I had to, but now that I’m really understanding it and now that I know the value of it, I just love to do it. I don’t even think twice about it.”

With an ability to line up at receiver, run defenders over, make defensive backs look slow, and all while being a threat to score on any given touch, Robinson is as a complete of a running back that can be found in college football.

I have to agree with you. Why would Jimmy G put himself in a position for a one-year deal? He's not great, but he's better than most QBs in that situation. Why not just start Davis Mills if that is the case
