Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?

If Nabers falls to 9, it's a no brainer.
Otherwise, I'm hoping the Eagles will give me 22, 50 ,53 for 9 and 122

Hopefully he's just a stupid camp body because the guy blows wild goats. For all the ability to get open, no ability to catch consistently.

Maybe the truthers are right and Fields won't be traded... maybe he hasn't been made available and the Bears are in fact going to trade down. Giving Fields two seasons worth of chances after having the #1 pick in back-to-back years would be BOLD. One season I get - they were never taking a QB last ...

Wasn't familiar with Rondale Moore so I looked up his stats: 5'7" 180 lbs averaged 400 yds/season for three years. The Bears need bigger receivers so Moore probably was not on Poles' radar. That and there is already somebody else on the team catching passes named Moore. What's abolutely crazy ...

There's not a lot of QB's that he's worked with out there that you'd bring in as a backup. John Woolford doesn't inspire much confidence. Sean Mannion and Blake Bortles have retired.
