Garrett Bradberry, and Kaleb McGary. Those are the only names, on that list of available FA OL, that Poles will probably even bother with.
Laremy Tunsil is available and better than Mcgary via trade. If your going to draft a LT first Tunsil is a 3 time pro bowler, the draft is a crap shoot anyway. Bradberry would be awesome

Draft is packed at OT for defense.

Why do you think Carolina dealt him? Why do you think his production dipped so signficantly? "Hurr but it was the QUARTERBACK"...but OK why did shitty quarterback play not hold back Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Terry McLaurin, Brandon Aiyuk, Micheal Pittman Jr., Drake London, etc.?

Damn, I didn't know Garrett Wilson/Olave/McLaurin/London were offered in a trade along with multiple first round picks. Poles fucked up!

Finish the offseason by signing:

Calais Campbell - DE
Charles Omenihu - DE
Sheldon Rankins - DT
Greedy Williams - CB
Garrett Bradbury - C

Bears can target an OT and more defensive line help via the draft.

I could live with that

It's not his evaluations that people bag on. It's his inability to communicate like an actual human being.
Not trying to condone his actions nor am I trying to disagree with you, but Greg Gabriel comes from a whole different era where things were done differently.

He comes from an era where elders (actually, older people, not wiser people like elder should mean) were revered and their words were taken as gospel.

A combination of him not understanding when someone questions his takes and a lack of knowledge how to interact with trolls online causes him to react poorly, making people to pile on him which causes more bad responses from him.

He is basically easy bait for online trolls and he pays for it with his own reputation.

As for him being outdated and out of touch, I believe that is wrong. To this day, he has strong connections to three NFL franchises (Bills, Giants and Bears) along with ties to lots of personnel both on teams and in the NFL media. To this day, he is respected as a scout, choosing to work as a free lancer than working year-round for an NFL team.

His word is absolutely better than any of our takes on player fits and probably 80% of the talking heads on TV.

Just know that he is going to be an asshat if he is pushed by trolls.

Craig Gabriel celebrated a fake tweeted OL signing after tweeting that he doesn't tweet rumors unless confirmed yesterday. And I'm pretty sure after he was corrected he said something about the player not being a fit for the Bears...

That guy thought Michael Haynes was a good player.

He can go pound sand, dude is a massive goober.

It's fucked that RBs get screwed in the NFL
Not really. They’re still paid more than over 90% of humans on earth and is what the market dictates for their position. Not fucked at all

He lost all credibility yesterday if he had any at all. He's no more connected to insider info than any member of CCS

Clearly, Skoronski has trex arms so he cant play tackle, but Michael Haynes having Trex arms wasn't an issue for him back in 2003

That scouting staff has turned over at least 4 times since he's been there. His sources are less reputable than David Kaplans.

Yes, it is obvious that old people have a much better chance of being fooled. At least he owned up to it.


As for players not being fits for the Bears, he is talking about things that Poles himself said, so not that shocking.

What do all of the players brought in this offseason, including Moore?

They are all athletic for their positions.

Can you just go ahead and admit that you don't know what his weaknesses are?
