Fans don't realize the effectiveness a gadget receiver can have on a struggling 7 on 7 offense.

Explain more. I didn't see and quite don't understand what you're saying

I like this guy a lot. Just wish we’d have rolled the dice earlier on a prospect in the early 2nd with a better chance to hit on right away.
I do actually like the strategy of going with pure burners at WR to take advantage of Fields’s crazy accurate deep ball.

He does the same dance every time he scores. I feel like this will anger the boomers

The guy is explosive. I see some Deebo in him too. Despite being a little older, this guy could turn out to be a steal.

A wideout who can't run routes for shit?
He's like the anti-rileyridley. Maybe this will work out

People are missing a major fact that this is an older and very deep draft because of COVID eligibility giving guys an extra year to play.

Huge reach at WR but not quite as bad as Tyquan Thornton by the Pats in the 2nd.
Silver lining....

Yeah, but he’s old. His speed will probably be down to a 4.4 once he hits 30…

Uhh, you're the one who claimed he's as good as a vet because of his age (???) and a good WR. It's not that the predictions are 100% but they (who are pros BTW) obviously don't agree with your excuses for the Bears continuing to be losers.
I don't know about the CB and Safety, but I'm pretty sure this guy isn't the one we've been looking for. It's just more of the same old shit from the Bears. And yes every player in the draft from here on will be in that same old shit class.
All signs are pointing to this guy wasn't drafted to be a WR or won't make it on the team in that capacity unless it's like Hester being a returner pretending to be a WR because the Bears didn't want to pay him just to do what he did best.

I'm happy they drafted a WR. I wish it had been sooner but I'm glad they drafted one. But you're simplifying why a person may not like this pick and ignoring the team's roster context. I've already said that I know nothing about him. I hope he's the GOAT. I hope he's our Tyreek Hill.
The receiver they chose will be 25 when he's a rookie. The Bears are going to suck in 2022. It's unlikely (but not unheard of) they take a significant step forward in 2023. So if you're likely to suck the next two seasons, wouldn't you want to draft a player with higher upside potential? You're not winning anything of substance so who cares if there are growing pains with a young WR. When you're ready to compete in a couple years, that player is just hitting the beginning stages of their prime. The 25 year old receiver is almost a finished product now. It's an odd fit from a strictly competitive timeline wise.
I value long term upside over short term, limited upside when on a rebuilding timeline. It's a personal preference.
