Based on what? He doesn’t strike me as the type to value RB like that.

Because of how much value they got in the trade...

You are talking about "value". If he sticks to the BPA approach and Bijan is on the board. Most think Bijan is a top 5 player in the draft but he is a RB.

What has Poles done that makes you thinks Poles would do this or that he overthinks high stake situations?
Or are you just projecting past Bears GMs actions on Poles?

It was very common before the rookie salaries were slated. Teams worked out the contract with the #1 pick weeks prior to the draft to avoid a holdout and it was all public.
Now that the rookie salaries are basically set there is no need to do this and teams do not tip their hand prior to the draft - maybe to appease the NFL as someone already suggested.

I think teams have a good idea what teams are going to do. That's why Texans know they aren't getting Young. That's why the Bears are pretty sure they aren't getting Carter.
These owners are a billionaire boys club. They talk. It's not a huge secret who teams are interested in, with leaks to the media constantly. Obviously every leak isn't legit, but GMs know which ones are likely real and not real.
Obviously, you can't trade back if you're targeting 1 singular player. That was just a general example I used. Hence talking about the OTs off the board by 9. Bears brought in all the top guys, I'm sure they have a preference, but if it's likely different from everyone else's then they can get cute if they are also willing to settle if necessary.

Crazy, bro! I was just reading this and thinking about posting it here.
My favorite comment there is this
Which I think best reflects the place most fans are at when it comes to Bijan Robinson. They just don’t know what he is. Let’s hope we draft him.

There are other OL.
That’s a period at the end of the sentence. Should I put an arrow or type it out like you did? I’m not sure.

There is a bigger gap in talent between in ots than rbs. It all the way at 9 if no trade down.

QB is no. 1. No. 2 is Oline to make sure they protect no. 1. RBs don’t win championships, QBs do.
Look at Kansas City They just won a SB with a late round RB, what they learned in SB loss to TB is to invest in O-line. They did with Brown, Humphrey and Thuney. Sent a 1st to ravens for Brown, drafted Humphrey in 2nd round, and paid thuney $80 mil for 5 years. Now they paid Taylor $20 mil a year to replace Brown. Invest in Oline.
