Looks like the Bears front office continues to screw up early round draft picks with picking players that are already injured.

This goes back at least ten years. Here are some of the injured players that the Baers drafted that other teams passed on:

ROME ODUNZE
Kelvin White
Teven Jenkins
Kiran Amegadjie
Gaines Adams
Gabe Carimi
Chris Williams
Velus Jones
Leonard Floyd
Jmarcus Webb
Dane Sanzenbacher (close enough to a draft pick)

Go ahead and name some more. There are a ton. Poles is a fucking idiot.

So what you are saying is that they are telling us it is a sore hammy, but in reality his leg is about to fall off, and because there is no recovering from this, so we should all log out, log off, ad go do something productive with our lives?

altruism at its finest.

Yeah and Teven Jenkins just had a tweak in his back. Kevin white only had a sore foot. Gaines Adams was fine until he was literally dead.

Same movie, same director, different character.

I mean there is no denying this. I just thought with getting Amegadjie, that he was our injured pick for the football gods, and that he would never set foot on the field. Hopefully you are wrong, but it is berz

So Poles screwed up and drafted the next Kevin White because Odunze has a sore hamstring in OTA’s and they don‘t want to do anything to slow it from healing, never mind the 13 games he played last season in college. It’s friggin OTA’s, who cares SMH

I'm confused.... what does Poles have to with someone the Bears drafted 14 years ago? Or almost anyone else on that list. All because Odunze has a mild hamstring injury? The **** are you talking about?

Only the sad losers on this board as far as I can tell.

Jeez. Reading comprehension isn't in your repertoire I see. I opened with a general front office comment and mentioned this goes back at least 10 years then went on to list several draft picks that were pre-injured and concluded with Poles sucks. Nowhere did I say Poles drafted every player on the list.

Real question. Why didn't Kevin Warner step in and stop this nonsense of drafting players with injuries that hasn't worked for the Bears in at least a decade? Thought he was the guy to bring professionalism and business smarts to the bears? He can't even decide where he wants his new stadium 😂😂😂

Keep coping though!

Unfortunately, by the end of the season most NFL players are struggling with hamstring problems. There are a couple of reasons. One, is it is hard to keep the hamstrings in balance with the quadriceps muscles. Most, power athletes love to build their quads, it helps them lift more weight and makes the legs look strong. The hamstrings need to be strong enough to balance the actions of the quads. But, hamstrings are longer which makes it harder to build enough mass to stabilize the quads. Tender hamstrings suck for a power atlete, but it comes with the territory. Rome Odunze, now has the benefit of world class medicine and rehab services, a young healthy guy should repair quickly.
