Re: The 2024 Draft
I don't want to belabor this point too much because this is a Bears forum. But what the FUCK were the Falcons doing?? Yes they absolutely could have taken Rome Odunze, but they needed help on defense even more. So the answer was...blow a #8 pick on a 24 year-old late-first round ranked QB that's no...

Re: He Gone: Trenton Gill Cut
Secret slick move - Poles is hoping someone signs Gill and immediately degrades their S/T unit.

Re: R5 P144: Austin Booker, Edge - Kansas
At 6'1" and around 205 lbs, Ed Sprinkle played DE for the Bears, went to the Hall of Fame, and was largely considered the meanest pass rusher of his era. He passed away a few years ago at 90 . He even played TE as well. He was known as "The Claw" for his clothesline tackling. Anyway,...

Re: R1 P1: Caleb Williams, QB - USC
From the Athletic: The historic odds of a Top-10 QB disappointing in the NFL: 41 percent. That sounds extremely low to me Agree, it all depends on how they define “disappointing” I do agree with the premise that Caleb’s odds will be well above the norm though, for the reasons already given.

Re: Some last minute fill ins for the roster
I'm in on those DL for sure...I can't see Boyd coming here, we already have 3 guys that are gonna need a lot of targets. He wants to go somewhere where he will actually get more action as he's already stuck behind Higgins/Chase in Cincy. It'd be even worse here.

Re: R1 P1: Caleb Williams, QB - USC
However, a counterpoint I would make often to my SC friends is that look who he is throwing/not throwing too. It was a very pedestrian group of receivers and he was behind a line at SC that makes the Chicago Bear Offensive lines look amazingly good. This is a point that I dont think can be stressed...

He has a big leg, but his ability to place the ball is what is most enticing to me. Rugby/Aussie Rules guys know how to put English on the ball and can make it bounce how they want.

Good God. That is so fucking pathetic. With Allen, Moore, Odunze, and Kmet on the field. He should be able to throw for 130 yards blindfolded. If Williams can average 3,856 yards a season over the course of his rookie contract then by the end of his third year he will be third on the Bears all-time...

TBH with you I don't know what my preference is. I respect the argument for replacing him via the draft. Jenkins misses a lot of games. Wh...

Re: R3 P75: Kiran Amegadjie, OT - Yale
This kid is a big unknown, limited PT in college and played Ivy League. He could become a starter, he could absolutely blow. The best part is he doesn’t have to start right away, he can adapt to the NFL without being rushed into action.

Re: 2024 Draft: Is This Our Greatest Draft Ever?
Like all drafts, the impact won't be known for several years from now. And this draft is all about Caleb Williams, if he's the goods then this is the best draft ever for us IMO. 90% of that statement will be based on CW achieving elite QB status, everything else is just window dressing IMO.

Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
Only thing I can think of is the wide hash marks giving directional punters an advantage they won’t have in the NFL. Poles said he’s the best punter prospect he’s ever seen, that’s good enough for me.
Plus, my hatred for Gill is the stuff of legends.

Re: So, how do we address our last hole on the team?
If we sign both Ngakoue and Greene - both available - then we would be really close to last years DL. Poles said in his presser our need was DL but he went BPA - I’m cool with that. I’m happy he knows DL is an issue and I expect he’s going to do something about it. He can’t wait too long, there’s ar...

Re: So, how do we address our last hole on the team?
I think we have to count on at least some improvement from Pickens and Dexter and it seems to me no one is doing that. We're not gonna resolve the RDE problem with just one guy this year. Unless Poles gets awfully lucky with his 3rd or 4th round pick it's gonna need to be committee approach. I'd lo...

In his last 3 seasons, Jacob Martin has had 7, 5, and 4 tackles respectively. He's a complete nobody. And DomRob is, and I say this without hyperbole, one of the worst football players I've ever seen get decent P/T here in Chicago.

Poles went absolutely ape shit on offense, adding: Waldron, Williams, Odunze, Allen, Everett, Bates, Shelton, and Swift. I’ve never seen anything like it, it’s a completely different unit and by far the most talent I’ve seen in my lifetime. That said, our DL is our Achilles heel and will prevent us ...

The more I see of Williams, especially in the off-the-cuff stuff that's come out tonight, the more I think he confused some people not because he's outrageously flamboyant or morbidly self-obsessed or any of the other labels some idiots tried to pin on him, but because he's roughly 61% cool nerd.
