The sun is also shining, because we have the best cover LB tandem in the league. We have our Defensive weapon in Edmunds. We have a good G and may be getting a decent RT very soon. Poles is showing that he is not going to overpay or overplay. Yeah, feel that sun keep on shining.
Poles takes a long at Christian Gonzalez. Going DB first two years in a row wouldn’t faze him, but he knows that the priority is getting weapons for Fields. He going to finish getting the OL and DL pieces in FA. He can afford to take the most dangerous weapon in the draft. There is no price too great for playmakers. Poles lets the sun shine some more and grabs the best overall talent in this draft.
1/9.) Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas – First off, by getting and paying a top LB in the league, Poles shows that he will take the best talent, even if the rest of the league is zigging; his actions are saying they’re going to get the weapon they value.
The rest of the world is starting to catch up with what I’ve been saying since November. This man is the fucking man. We all know that the Bears want to be an explosive team. Now, we have a guy that I seriously don’t know how a team will scheme to stop when Fields is at the give/mesh, and DJ Moore is running into the shallow flat. RPO with Fields, our upgraded WR room, and Kmet? Yooooooo. Now, peep this: how about when we put Bijan in the slot and line up Claypool or Moore in the Tailback? Or, even worse for an OC, Bijan goes to the Y or X, and we move either Mooney or VJJ into the tail. Yeah. Don’t forget how good his hands are and how he can line up everywhere.
Bijan is the most dynamic playmaker in the draft. Watching him catch those poorly thrown balls at The Combine with hands that define soft was a revelation. Watching him slow and adjust to the last very poorly thrown ball by one of the coaches shows how he will catch TDs from Fields. He pass blocks, catches, can line up all over the formation and will give us victory after victory as teams have to strengthen the box to defend him. We will be in superstar status in no time.
2/54.) Tuli Tuipulotu DL, USC – This is our dude. We get our 3tech. Gabriel thinks he’s the best, including over Carter. So, clown that dude all you want, but he has forgotten more about evaluating players than I’ll ever know. He can anchor, attack, and be moved around the line. He should be an instant contributor, if not a starter.
2/61.) Tyrique Stevenson, CB, Miami – Unfortunately, Miami’s D was not good this year. I remember having conversations about Stevenson during the CF season where I was like, Stevenson is a gamer, but the fact that the same tape that will show him picking off passes and recovering fumbles will also show knucklehead plays is why he falls to the end of the 2nd. He’s all traits and upside, long, fast, and plays with thunder. He is very good at jamming and pressing, which will help a lot against the quick receivers coming in. He is a Bears player, but may not do more than ST at first, which will get some people complaining about using a 2nd rounder on him when there were big DTs available. He will eventually be a very good boundary corner.
3/64.) Sam Laporta, TE Iowa – What’s not to like. He blocks well for a UTE, runs routes, and knows how to get open. He will provide another target for Fields. Yes, with the addition of DJ Moore, our slot is taken care of, but DJ Moore also plays on the boundary, so, by putting Laporta in the slot, we can move Moore to the boundary, show a TE jumbo formation, and still be able to run a powerful RPO with Bijan and Fields.
4/103.) YaYa “Little Baby” Diaby (dee - uh - be), DE Louisville – This guy is a great athlete with bend that tore up the Combine with a 9.84 RAS for DE and a 9.99 for a LB. Yeah, he’s a project. He is who you grab to improve the team. Poles has shown that he will take potential pass rushers with ability late, and you can’t teach traits. Diaby has traits in bucketfulls. His issues are coachable, especially since he was played out of position in College.
4/133.) Grant DuBose, WR, Charlotte – Does this name sound familiar? Yeah, it’s because he was one of the players that Poles said that he was looking at at the Senior Bowl. He showed up for the Senior Bowl. He is a hard worker. You can literally use his blocking to teach blocking. He has great hands. He has great measurables and testing numbers at 6'2", 201 lbs, 32" arms, and a 1.52-sec 10-yard split.
5/137.) Jon Gaines II, IOL UCLA – Poles’ unicorn. This is the only OL that fit Poles’ criteria. It’s never a reach if it’s your guy, so, though many places have him going later than this, Poles grabs him in the fifth – sound familiar? Poles finds traits he can coach and continues to draft with an eye to development. Yes, he’s a bit of an older prospect and has some bad habits that need to be fixed through coaching, but he is exactly what Poles wants. We get him. The sun shines as we get another potential starter in the fifth rounds.
5/149.) Jose Ramirez, DE, Eastern Michigan – Y’all like that Maxx Crosby? This guy does. Another speed rusher coming out of Eastern Michigan? Yes, please. He is so smooth in his game. He attacks nonstop. He has a shit ton of sacks to prove it. Guys that lots of sacks have a quality that you can’t coach. It’s a mentality. This guy is tenacious and gets the sacks. It also helps that he was a top performer at The Combine where he topped all defensive ends in both the three-cone drill and the shuttle drill, being the only prospect to get below seven seconds in the former drill. Poles does it again by doubling down on uber-athletic dudes who have a tremendous upside.
7/219.) Shaka Heyward, LB Duke – A surprisingly long LB with a big frame that likes to hit. He has the upside to be a big playmaker. He had a good showing at the combine, and, at 6’3”, still can fill out his frame. He is the kind of player you grab in the 7th to see if he can make the team as ST or improve with upside. He also had some sacks that showed a bit of bend. Poles continues to draft based on traits and upside for development.
“…measuring in at 6-3 with 34-inch arms, you see the tools to be a matchup asset in coverage.
I was already pretty impressed with him at East-West Shrine practices. And he looked very smooth in the coverage drills, redirecting with the shuffle, staying low in his pedal and quickly sticking his foot in the ground to drive forward when taking directions on the wave drill. His hips looked loose, and he snatched the ball away from his body on multiple occasions when asked to open and pivot.”
7/258.) Trevor Reid OT, Louisville – This guy is a tremendous athlete that the Bears saw while checking out Diaby. He’s fluid, but just so raw. He may be too raw for ODB but not for Pace. Taking him at the penultimate pick in the draft turns out to be a win. He is athletic enough to need development and may be a swing tackler or better someday. He’s the type of player you take a why not on in the draft.
And the sun keeps on shining!
