Poles is speaking now
so we drafted a practice squad guy with a 3rd round pick?
Meltdown incoming
I took that comment to mean the available DE's are asking too much. But who knows. With the Bears starting early this year it could be a week or two into camp before some guys sign.Meltdown incoming
The top GMs aim for more than a "role player" with their day 3 picks. The vedict on Poles drafting has yet to be determined. He has hit on some and wiffed on some. For example, will Dexter and Pickens develop into differeence makers on the D line? Again, the teams that can strike gold on day 3, have a huge advantage.Absolutely to the bolded. It is awesome that Kittle ended up a stud for the 49ers as a 5th round draft pick - but you have so many draft picks for a reason. The odds of any one of them making it is low, and you hope that one of your day 3 picks ends up being a valuable role player.
The difference between a second round pick and a fifth (to keep the Shaheen-Kittle comparison) is a small amount of money relative to what you are shelling out to free agents to try and fill out the same spot.
Walker needs to play inside more oftenWho do they even have to develop? Austin booker?
Pretty sure every other edge they have is a known commodity. Walker isnt going to suddenly breakout at age 29 and dom robinson is a bum.
Yep. That’s where he had his best success as far as pass rushing.Walker needs to play inside more often
