Odunze is "clean." (And Nabers isn't?) What does that actually mean?

Herbert deserves more love. He's been a very good RB and led the NFL in average yards per carry in 2022.

I would add Latu as a possible pick if a trade down happens. He is the best pass rusher in the draft and if he's medically cleared, would be a steal after 9. Hopefully one of the the 3 top edges would be there. Another 3rd, or even a 2nd would be a huge bonus.

I would expect that the Bears would have done an in depth study of Latu's medical status, including talking to multiple doctors and review of his injury and recovery. There are some injuries where the body is even stronger after the operation. On the other hand, if there is a chronic weakness...

He did play the last two seasons injury free--and excelled. That should count a lot.

What do you think the homers would be saying about Williams and Daniels if the Bears had the second pick instead of the first and were planning on drafting Daniels?

Obviously it all depends on whether Williams is as good as advertised. If he is, then the "haul" is forgotten history. If he struggles, then failure to negotiate a haul will be a massive mistake and the end of Poles.

By prioritizing DBs and DTs in his drafts, Poles made it clear that he wasn't going to support Fields. Now he has done with Williams what he should have done with Fields. He has also bought himself three more years (for Williams to develop) even if Williams has a rocky start.

If the Bears can find an outstanding pass rusher at 9, then pull the trigger asap. Remember who the MVP of the 85 Bears was? DE Richard Dent. He was a hidden gem and a lower round draft pick. GMs who can find great players in middle and lower rounds are a huge bonus for any team.

Verse has been very productive, unlike Chop.

Surely a Generational player can start right away and win.

I think this year, including the free agents and the draft, will be decisive on grading Poles. I think he failed in not giving Fields offensive weapons, but obviously, everything depends on how Williams performs, and Poles has given Williams offensive skill players, .., so no excuses please.

Exactly. Give him credit when its due, and blame when he messes up. .

Why are people afraid to criticize Poles when its deserved?

So it's not really Poles'fault? It's Justin Fields? Of course, that's the ticket..

Velus Jones in the third round?

Glad to see Poles is supporting Williams with offensive skill players. He does not deserve any credit for failing to do it with Fields---which should have been his first priority.

Beaause the other team could jump ahead of the Jet's pick by trading for the Bears pick.

If the Bears opt for a DE over a WR at pick 9, there is a good possibility of trading down with Denver at 12 or Vegas at 13 if there is a QB or other player they want to move up for. One or more of the three elite DEs should be available at 12 or 13. It would probably give the Bears an...
