I agree. I don’t want to trade back unless we’re receiving a 2nd rounder. The idea of a 3rd and you lose taking your choice at 9 just doesn’t sit well enough with me. I’d prefer in that case just have some conviction and take your guy Obviously that is, unless you have a great feeling your guy...

Oof. Noted

I cannot see a trade up without giving up a future 1st. And I can’t see the Bears doing that. Maybeee next year’s two 2nds. That said I break down the #9 pick like this - you have to hit. You absolutely have to hit. What pick is least like likely to hit? DE. If they were sure things, those boys...

I feel very good about the possibilities at #9. Alt, Odunze, Nabers, Turner, Verse. There's at least two receivers you would want who could land there, two edge rushers. You feel comfortable with a trade back given the possibility of Latu and Byron Murphy. I've kind of shifted to hoping for...

This hugely depressurizes the 9th pick conundrum. Prior to today was feeling like how the hell do we assure Odunze drops. He’s has been the absolute right pick, but anything can happen. With Keenan Allen here, we can relax and allow the draft to unfold as it may. If defensive player is the best...

I’m curious if Poles gets antsy about landing a WR what he gives up to trade up. And what fans would be comfortable with trading

I think if the Bears stick to their strategy of best player available….. one of the WR’s if they fall is the pick. If not them, Joe Alt sounds like a stud and would have top tackles solidifed for years under rookie contracts That said I think there’s a little bluff in best player available...

The game’s demise begun when Getsy called a draw on 3rd-and-7, and settled for the field goal. The rest was just theatre playing out. If you get a 1st there, you dramatically kill the clock. If you get a TD it’s game over. I’m not against pushing it from a 9pt lead to 12, that’s smart enough...

FA is Billings, no question. Most of his FA’s haven’t hit. Draft it’s Wright, but by value it’s maybe Sanborn. I don’t think Braxton should be a starting LT in the league, but actually wish Sanborn was a starting LB.

Poles signed 3 linebackers in free agency, so he isn’t even correctly evaluating his own best picks, not making space for Sanborn to start.

Let’s consider for a second all hope lies in Poles (it kinda does). We have a gash roster he helped construct. A microcosm of his work.. his first pick is a db (#39), but a nickel corner not even a slot one. I remember hearing they like Gordon at the nickel in his first camp, and being...

Something I hate he does, his transparency about deals. He made a habit of telling the media everything about trades, signings, etc. There is no gamesmanship. Meanwhile, the coach is the most tight lipped coach ever thinking it gives them a strategic edge. I’d argue being tight lipped as a GM...

Funny enough Poles has Fields problem. He is too conservative, won’t let it rip. Roquan is a terrific player, great leader, Bears lineage, young and upper echelon for his position - Poles can’t pay him, for it interferes with his money he fancies for this masterful rebuild. Spends it on mid LBs...

Would you rather: Have Jalen Carter and sign Orlando Brown Jr to big money, while keeping your future first? Or have Chris Jones and Darnell Wright, and so long to your future 1st? It just seems to me bad value to squeeze the most out of your assets to go this route. Poles is a certain amount...

I wanted Poles to get Keanu Benton, trade up with the Stevenson package if he had to. Tough one to allow to go to the Steelers. Dexter looks very average to me, but him and Pickens can trade off next to Billings. Pickens I always eyed pre draft so was happy with that snag
