Re: Post Draft Meatball Overreaction - Three Things

I really thought this would be a fun exercise for people to let their meatball side out....but apparently not. Dang. I didn't mean to step on your meatballs, Whiskey.

Re: Post Draft Meatball Overreaction - Three Things

That's right! It's time for the Post NFL Draft Meatball Fan Overreaction thread. Many NFL pundits gave the Bears an A on their draft this year, and how could they not. Ryan Poles knocked it out of the park. If we count Keenan Allen as part of the draft class, then it truly was franchise altering. W...

His amazing athleticism and power was more than balanced by his remarkable lack of productivity as a passer. Why can't you sto...

It sounds like Ryan Poles understands how important the lines are and some of us here do not. The arguments for taking a WR for the Bears second pick do not hold water.

Re: I think we Bears fans are traumatized

I think the best way to mitigate a traumatized fanbase is to wreak havoc on the opponents.

That said, a top 5 defense would go a long way towards gratification - if not fulfillment - at least for me.

As far as trading JF - it could have been done either way. I'm glad he's got a fair chance to succeed with the Steelers. It's a clean break with no residual complications. Trading Justin reinforces a strong message of confidence in Caleb. Right now, the Bears are expressing 100% confidence in CW and...

Re: What would it take for you to move from the 1.1 pick

I think, at some point, you have to come to the understanding/realization that yes this is the player we have been looking for.

This guy is the right guy in the right place at the right time - Caleb Williams.

Freaking unreal - never thought I would say that.

Re: Bears Big Board at current slots

Poles has brought in three legit new targets for CW already this offseason.

He's got two elite WRs, two pass-catching TEs and two RB's with good hands.

Trade down or not, I expect the second blue chip after Caleb will be either OL or DL.
