Poles has his man crush and he might trade up to get him. Poles doesn't see these players through the lens of a football player/GM role he sees them like a little kid. He gets excited and he's immature about it.

The Bears need help and depth on both lines and Poles is chasing trends.
Another mind reader!!!!!

He didn't say the coaches aren't good enough. He said the OL/DL isn't. That should be obvious to anyone with some common sense
Yes, common sense is acting like it's the exact same players as last season and that the new coaches and scheme are good but not the trenches.

Comps are so stupid though. Oh this T has all the same measurables as this HOF type T so he'll also be a HOF type T.

If he had his hands and feet and power and football IQ and everything else Peters had then you have something but that stuff you don't know until they get in the NFL and actually play games.
That's true, and I think Manyweather trains Membou, so, I think think it's nod to saying Membou has it all without a long winded answer.

In fairness, that account is a nothing account. It just happened to be the first thing I saw when I searched for Shedeur Sanders.
Oh, I don't know if it gave the reference to who said it, but this is from Pelissero. It's a direct quote he put out in the article below. I generally figure these guys play both sides of the fence as much as they can, but this is fairly scathing.

His mock from yesterday…

10. Chicago Bears, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State​

Previous selection in Mock Draft 4.0: Ashton Jeanty, RB

Best Draft Targets for the Bears With the 10th Pick:

  • Offensive Line: The Bears overhauled the interior offensive line and have Darnell Wrightlocked in at right tackle, but that still leaves Braxton Jones as a less-than-ideal left tackle who is also in the final year of his contract. Ohio State’s Josh Simmons is a good fit, so long as his medicals check out. Or they could target a lineman with potential guard/tackle versatility like Missouri’s Armand Membou or LSU’s Will Campbell.
  • Ashton Jeanty: If the Bears are comfortable with the offensive line as is, adding Jeanty with this selection could take some pressure off Caleb Williams.
  • Tyler Warren: The Bears have a capable tight end in Cole Kmet under contract through 2027, but Warren would be an upgrade. Kmet’s contract is also structured in such a way that Chicago can save some money by moving on after the 2025 season.
Who Calls the Shots in the Bears Draft Room?

GM Ryan Poles (fourth year) has final say over roster construction. Poles was previously with the Chiefs since 2009, working under GM Brett Veach as director of player personnel.

Key Stats & Notes for the Bears Heading into the 2025 NFL Draft:

  • Gained 20 or more yards on 4.4% of offensive plays, ranked 28th.
  • D’Andre Swift ranked 47th out of 47 qualified running backs in rushing yards over expected per attempt, per NextGenStats.
  • 26.9% of offensive sets of downs led to a third-and-long situation (seven or more yards), ranked 31st.
  • Generated pressure in 2.5 seconds or less on 20.3% of opponent dropbacks, ranked 24th.
  • Allowed 8.4 yards per attempt when in man coverage, ranked 30th.
  • Allowed 51.4% completion rate on throws 10 or more yards downfield, ranked 28th.
  • Allowed 10 or more yards on 13.1% of carries by running backs, ranked 30th.
So he’s not accurate in his mocks; he’s just accurate at which guys actually go in the top 100 but not at what pick.

The funny thing about Jeanty is that he SHOULD be there at 10 or so. He's a small step below Bijan as a prospect and even Bijan went 8 overall. There really isn't a reason Jeanty should go much higher given that teams aren't really desperate for RBs. But IDK

I don’t know why people put him below Bijan as a prospect. I think he’s every bit the prospect that BR was

Let's trade away most of our draft capital for a pre injured player.

Absolutely moronic
I barely snuck in my edit before this post, but I don't really like the deal itself... not that I believe it's an accurate trade offer to begin with. As much as I do think pretty Ricky has been on fire, I just can't buy that they'd get this specifics to this level of detail.
