The problem with this is that if you go edge in round 1, the draft is so deep at WR you're going to find a damn good one in the third, maybe even in a trade down from the third. I still think that Brendan Rice makes a whole lot of sense as Caleb is already familiar with him. But there's also somebo...

I would love to hear that come out of Caleb's mouth when he takes the podium.

I think we're going to find someone of impact at 9. If we can get Odunze or Nabors---boom you take him. If they're gone, you get the best Edge Rusher available. What do you guys think of this? What about trading up from 75 after having done the above? Maybe you get your Edge guy and then move up co...

I searched for awhile this morning and couldnt find anything saying this. I'd think it'd be a big deal if this was actually out there, because some people would be trying to drag Poles for trading for a player without handshake agreeing on an extension first. Regardless, it certainly doesnt make se...

Anyone else getting anxious now that we're only 10 days away from the draft?? Not at all! Excited. A bit impatient. Very positive. The Bears are drafting a generational talent at QB for the first time ever and will get another blue chip prospect. The team is set up in great shape. Nows the time to ...

One thing that keeps popping up we seldom discuss is the possibility of using 2025 pick(s) to add another Day Two 2024 pick. I'd like to think that Poles has put that in the hopper as well so if a player he has a 1st round grade on drops to where he feels he can make a trade and get him I'd love to...

Chris Jones was signed to an 80 mill contract in 2022 and just resigned to a 158 mill deal. Tyreek signed a 3 year 54 mill contract in 2019. Mahomes was signed to a 477 mill contract in 2020. In 2022, the Chiefs had to trade Hill because they could not afford the 120 mill extension that Miami signed...

One thing to think about long term in taking a receiver is that you'll have BOTH your QB and your #1 receiver (hopefully) reaching the end of their rookie contracts at the same time. That would be a lot of money coming due on those two positions at the same time. Something to be concerned with cert...

Well, that's nothing new.

Johnny Knox wore 13 and he was a good player until that horrible injury. Even more reason NOT to let Allen have it. Talk about jinx. :frustrated: Loved Johnny Knox though. Other Bear receivers to wear #13: Scott for one year, Pringle for one year, Rodney Adams for one year, Wright for one year, and...

I believe that the highest comp pick you can get is third round. But point taken.

If Poles drafts Turner or Verse, then Walker isn't a starter, and is a prime candidate to be cut in the near future, because he hasn't panned out. You can draft another WR with a pick other than #9. We will have Moore and Allen for more than one season. Moore is one of the best wide receivers in th...

*TRADE* The Arizona Cardinals trade 1.4 and 4.104 to Minnesota for 1.11, 1.23, and 2025 1st Round Pick 4.) Minnesota Vikings (via Arizona) - J.J. McCarthy [QB; Michigan] *TRADE* The Los Angeles Chargers made 1.5 and 2.37 to Arizona for 1.5, 1.27, and 2.35 Really confused. So the Chargers are tradin...

I like verse a lot, more so than Latu because he hasn’t medically retired from football recently. Plus I think you can trade down into the 12-15 range, get an extra bite or two, and still get him. The question becomes though, why is Verse the same age as Latu? Latu missed two years of football beca...

Color me jaded, but I sure hope that Caleb doesn't get number #13: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/60/ab/c2/60abc22284ee2933623721e9fc78a190.jpg Come to think of it, I hope that Keenan doesn't get it either: https://www.trbimg.com/img-554d5f72/turbine/ct-bits-kevin-white-bears-spt-0509-20150508 Ugh, ...

Mike Tomczak. That's all I got.

Sure hope Penix doesn't fumble. Nobody wants to see him losing his balls.

Then he misread or misunderstood what I posted taking it out of context. What I said and meant was Bates is capable of competing and/or subbing at all three IOL positions. That is something a 5th round rookie would not be expected to do. Braxton Jones had just one position to learn. I don't even th...

So you're looking for Penix to drop in on our party here and show his face? Penix! Show yourself! Come on in and and get lathered up with us! Be patient - Penix tends to emerge suddenly, and violently, sucking up all of the attention for a few minutes, only to suddenly explode and then wither back ...

Pretty sure he was pointing at this part of your post sir.... Then he misread or misunderstood what I posted taking it out of context. What I said and meant was Bates is capable of competing and/or subbing at all three IOL positions. That is something a 5th round rookie would not be expected to do....

I feel like finding an elite 3T is almost as hard as finding an elite QB. There's no Aaron Donald type prospect in this class (at least according to the experts), so chasing that seems foolish to me. Absolutely. What I don't want is them getting impatient, throwing a R2-4 at a 3T just because "...

Never too early for cock jokes.

God bless that kid and whoever he plays for, but I can't help giggling like the 53 year old 12 year old I am EVERY TIME I hear that name. Thank goodness he won't be a Bear. I'd die of mirth convulsions. Same here. Every time a commentator says “Penix looking long”, “Penix goes deep”; “Penix takes a...

That we traded a 5th round pick for Bates doesn't necessarily mean anymore than he was brought in to be the first off the bench sub for all three OL positions or competes to start somewhere something no 5th round rookie would be capable of doing as well. Given the injury histories of our starting O...

Nah, he's a lefty. I believe in right handers. lol

Yeah, I think the disconnect is people who watch football vs people who look at a spreadsheet? I watched a couple of Washington games this year specifically to watch Penix, and came away, well before the Odunze hype train was in full swing, just falling in love with the guy. He's just so obviously ...

I see you drafted My Guy Braden Fiske.

Just for you Wulfy. Heck, and if we had to take Johnson in the second, I'd give up Trice for him rather than Fiske in the third.
