Re: Running Backs - where do we go
I'm an Omarion Hampton fan. His stock is all over the place though.
I don't know what it is, I see a heavy dose of 'meh'.
Like nothing he does feels special to me.
Hampton is very good. I mean, you'd rather see his numbers against the SEC versus the ACC, but then you'd rather see Ashton ...

Re: Build the Lines
What about the C from Green Bay? He’s young and a fair chance he will be available
I liked Josh Myers well enough coming out of Ohio St in 2019 – in the draft, he was a decent NFL athlete who needed work on his pass blocking. It's still the weakest part of his game, but the Bears could do (and ...

Re: Bears roster: Where do we stand
Scanning the potential free agents, the WR group looks awful. 😢
Two to keep an eye on could be Tim Patrick who played for Johnson in Detroit last season and Marquez Valdes-Scantling who started the year in Buffalo before joining the Saints mid-season, although there's no real crossover with ...

Re: Running Backs - where do we go
I agree with this.
I don't agree with this at all. Especially in a running back class this deep, with some good options that will most likely stretch into Day 3.Heinz D. wrote: Sun Feb 16, 2025 1:51 pm I truly believe they have to go RB with one of the first three picks.

I do give Mykel Williams a pass though... he was hurt most of the season.

Re: Adam Jahns and Kevin Fishbain Mock The Bears Draft
Short fat offensive lineman are not in Poles’ wheelhouse
I read him as; 6' 3 7/8"/314lbs. Not exactly short or fat. He's seen as being very athletic w/34" arm length. Good enough to play OT but will more likely play at OG or RT.
He's the same size as Josh Conerly Jr whom it's been reported ...

Interesting chart, thanks for the share.
There's an argument to be made that Umanmielen – and to a lesser extent Carter – benefited from their loaded teams. But you have to capitalize on those opportunities too.

Digging a little deeper, some thoughts on guys the Combine might have missed...
QB: don't see anyone they missed here.
RB: maybe Josh Williams (LSU), maybe Marquez Cooper (San Diego St/Ball St/Kent St).
TE: maybe FCS guy Runyon, though he looked like JAG at the Shrine. I can see being surprised ...

Dalman being the "BEST CENTER" is a function of best center on FA....and that FA often resembles a Bar near closing time and GMs being Sailors on 48 hour Shore Leave.

Re: Build the Lines
You can't start two rookie Guards man, that's a bad idea IMO. If we miss on Trey Smith, go get Fries or Zeitler or someone like that.
That's fine as a Plan B.
But - it could be that Smith is retained, then the second tier of Gs gets bid through the roof, like McGlinchey.

Eh, it's a bottom-line business, and if someone wants to go all in on "fire Poles" then let 'em.
I don't really agree with that sentiment, but then I don't have to agree to acknowledge that the offensive line hasn't been good enough.
