CORRECT. If they do it just goes to show how arrogantly wrong and reckless Ryan Poles is.

1) The Bears are not one player away

2) Ashton Jeanty is not the guy you draft if you feel like you're one player away

3) Ryan Poles has no patience or maturity to be an NFL GM.

Maybe wait until after the picks to complain about them.

By the way, despite what @DanielCCSBears thinks, the Bears aren't firing a guy they just gave an extension to.

@everyone that wants Jeanty at 10 or higher...

How do you think he will compare to Jahmyr Gibbs?

Better/Worse/Same???

 

[playthrough2001]

Hope for the best, Jalen Carter falls into your lap that was the hope two years ago. Now I don't know what Poles will do but it's very likely it will be the wrong decision.

I’m sure if you like the pick, you’ll credit Johnson. If you hate the pick, you’ll say it was Poles.

Either way if the pick hits, you’ll say it was Johnson after all.

This guy is the best mocker out there over the last 5 years.

Choosing between Graham and Banks at 10 would be a dream scenario.

In theory, better

Can anyone tell me how highly regarded Jeanty was at this time last year?

I'm highly suspicious of players who go into the draft elevated by the hype of their biggest year. The guys I want to see targeted in the first round are ones who follow up a big year with a second or third year that affirms the hype.

Doak Walker winner and Heisman runner up so...

Poles will absolutely draft a TE against the will of his HC. Ben Johnson is no Tard.

I prefer others to Jeanty, but the question is a bit unfair in that Gibbs has one of the best OLs in the NFL.

James Pearce to PHI at 32... of course.

Just a reminder that trent richardson was supposed to be the next adrian peterson.

James Pearce to PHI at 32... of course.

I think he’s pretty wrong… I hope he is. That’s just unfair.

 

[--CyBear--]

Chill guys, it's lying season as they say. It could be that Poles is actually trying to move back in the draft.

Wouldn't surprise me that Poles (if possible) moves down either.

I'd take that in a heartbeat

ok?

 

[Les Grossman]

Yeah, I'd support a trade back into the late round 1 to take a swing on a player Pearce or Nolan

 

[--CyBear--]

It’s either the biggest smokescreen ever or they’ll have to teach Ben how to play Poker.

I think a lot has to do with him showing a willingness to take Gibbs as early as he did. Lions don't do that without his influence.

 

[remydat]

"Highly possible" is not the same as probable. You suggest that they could draft a backup for every position on the oline with any of their top 3 picks... They "could" but I doubt that they extend both guards and sign a center.... AND draft backup IOL with any of their top 3 picks.

The only position that they "should" draft with a top 3 pick, is LT and I dont see the point of drafting a LT prospect with a premium pick if he isn't going to be at least average in year one.

As for DL, there is an obvious need for DT to compete with Billings, so I'm all for drafting one early. 3 tech & DE are much less of a need.

Ok I was responding to this.

#10, #39, #41... those are absolutely starter level premium picks year one.

My point was simply if they take an OL or DL with any of those picks there is no guarantee they are absolutely starters year 1.

Bears are in position to go BPA within reason IMO.

Shemar at 10 or trade up to Jeanty at 5
