    Rate the 2024 Rookie QBs 1-6

    For me it’s: 1. Williams 2. Maye - I looked back at 2022 and that made a big difference for me. 3. Daniels - I actually think he’s going to have a rough ride in the NFL. His frame is not ready unless he radically changes his approach to the game. 4. JJ - He needs to sit and learn but he has...

    Inside the Fields Trade to the Steelers

    The Athletic put out a story this morning detailing how it unfolded. It puts to bed some misinformation and it provides what Poles felt should have been the framework of the deal. The piece is authored by Mike DeFabo (Steelers) and Adam Jahns (Bears). I’ll include some excerpts. “Bears...

    Hiring Thomas Brown gives the Bears a cushion

    I’ve heard talk that because Flus is a defensive play caller the Bears are at risk if Williams balls out and Waldron is hired as a head coach. Having Thomas Brown is huge in that scenario. He’s from the McVay tree too and has been an offensive coordinator. We want Williams to be amazing but...

    Who are the true Blue Chip prospects in this draft?

    I think they are: Caleb Williams Joe Alt Marvin Harrison Jr. Malik Nabers Rome Odunze Brock Bowers Dallas Turner Jared Verse Taliese Fauga I don’t believe Maye or Daniels are blue chippers but they’re going before 9. McCarthy might too. I don’t want to miss out on a blue chip player. Poles...

    Is Chase Young worth a one or two year deal to open up pick 9?

    Would Young be worth the investment if it gives Poles complete flexibility at pick 9? It seems the Bears have shown little interest but you never know with Poles. Did anyone seeing Keenan Allen coming? I want the absolute best player at 9, not a need. Also, having a guy like Young...

    Mock Top Ten from a group of NFL GMs and Execs

    One year ago, NFL executives emerged from the scouting combine thinking the Chicago Bears were open to trading the first pick in the draft. They were right. This year, sentiment from NFL front offices holds that the Bears will use the top pick, acquired from the Carolina Panthers one year ago...

    Randy Mueller‘s 2024 Free Agent Rankings

    Mueller was the GM for both the Saints and Dolphins. Some of his rankings are interesting to say the least. He has Darnell Mooney ranked higher than Michael Pittman and Tee Higgins. He’s above Mike Evans too. No, I’m not kidding! Brian Burns is ranked one and Josh Allen comes in at six...

    Brian Burns - Sweat Trade 2.0?

    There is speculation that Burns and Carolina will not be able to reach a contract agreement. He’s mentioned as a tag and trade candidate. Would you be willing to offer Carolina back their 2025 2nd for him knowing he needs an extension similar to Sweat’s? Would you send them the Bears 2025...

    The Bears’ Conundrum

    Without three historical meltdowns, the Bears would be firmly in a playoff spot at 8-6. Considering Poles tore it down to the studs just last year, that would have been amazing progress. So I ask… With this coaching staff and a better QB, are those three losses wins? With a better coaching...

    Fields Stays - F It Go Deep in 2024

    Let’s say the Bears see enough from Fields to decide to roll with him going forward. If that’s the case, the Bears have the money and picks to make the offense pretty formidable in 2024. In free agency grab Williams or James to man the center spot. Put the rest of the money into quality and...

    Jonathan Taylor

    If the Bears can pry him away for a third and a sixth, do you make the trade? I know he needs to be paid too, but he’s a legitimate game breaker. I’m not looking at this as a fix for this year, but adding a premium weapon for this offense to further help Fields or the next guy if it comes to...

    On the record - Darnell Wright - FTO

    So on the record do you like the pick or not? I wanted an OT. My first choice was PJJ, but I loved the idea of Wright too. Jones as well… I’m a yes. RT was a gaping hole and Fields was getting killed off that edge last year. Wright is a physically imposing player with a nasty demeanor and...

    Ian Cunningham

    I believe this draft will go well. Combined with the trade down that netted DJ Moore, all of this should reflect kindly on Cunningham. It’s well known he’s Poles’ number one guy and has to be closely involved in all the planning and strategy. I think there’s a good chance he gets a GM slot...
