Because Poles is one of 32 holding the position of NFL GM in the world We're Joe Palookas reading whatever we can on the Internet, a lot of which is about ... Poles and his decision making and building of the team. So I tend to believe that he'll get it right more than we will but there will be tim...

Physically he's more an OT than a G. I imagine he'll get his snaps this year at both positions when starters get injured. I think he'll be the starting LT in 2025.

1983 was pretty darned good... Jimbo Covert Willie Gault Mike Richardson Dave Duerson Tom Thayer Richard Dent Mark Bortz And none of those players also involved paying an exorbitant salary which come along with Sweat and Allen. It was a great draft year for the Bears. This one give me hope to produ...

Yes, yes it does make more sense. Just like some of us told you all off-season. Where you became a condescending dick about it and then got proven wrong. But it's all good. You'll be enjoying the modern Bears and praising the offense before long. Explain why? And, also explain why if Poles makes a ...

Maxx Crosby, 4th round, Eastern Michigan. Should have been a 3rd rounder. The cherry on the hot fudge sundae draft.

Maxx Crosby actually. Great move, can't believe he was still available.The topping on am excellent draft.

Kind of forgettable. Most 7ths don't make it. At least it wasn't as costly as Claypool.

Don't think anyone saw that coming. He was the best weapon on Iowa last year. I was a bit disappointed that an Irish guy announced the pick, not HRS or DD.

I suspect you're in the lead atm. Well done

Grizzled should be right there too.

The pick's in, I doubt anyone picked him. Tie, Hema, well done.

If you look at this draft in its totality, it’s pretty wild. #1: Caleb Williams #9: Rome Odunze #40: Montez Sweat #75: Kiran Amegadjie #110: Keenan Allen #122: TBD #144: Ryan Bates Can't forget #7 N'Keal Henry but it was an attempt to get a WR from the bargain basement. Laying it out this way might...

No defensive players drafted yet. I feel like we're in an episode of the Twilight Zone.

Have you seen WR extensions this offseason? Moore's going to want something similar. Allen's making $23M this year; if the Bear sign him to an extension, he won't take much less. The Bears don't want WR to be 20 or 25% of any future cap, I doubt both are on the roster in a few years. Odunze on a ro...

Why? i'll just reply to this one...as I love its preciseness. :D Odunze is a great kid, and a truly special talent. That being said, I think the performance of DJ Moore last year wasn't just exceptional--it was downright heroic . Moore might not be a top ten guy, IMHO. He might be a TOP FIVE guy. I...

Like the pick a lot but I was surprised, there was some DL guys to be had.

Thought I read this a.m. that Cunningham talked Poles down from trading up for Odunze. So glad it worked out, just love Odunze.

The Bears will be selected. I've never watched the show, won't watch even if they are selected.

Braswell, Isaac (both of whom will probably be gone before pick 75), Austen Booker, Jalyx Hunt, Marshall Kneeland, Trice, Jonah Ellis, Brandon Dorlus - one of those guys at DE has to still be available. Fiske, Michael Hall at 3T. Sweat, Jackson (Texas A&M), Ruke Orhoroho from Clemson, Wingo and ...

I really couldn't care less how guys represent themselves at the draft, it's their choice/brand/whatever. But I was pleased to see both draft picks in great looking suits:

If there is a logjam tie among multiple members, chaos will reign and I will come up with something, perhaps a parking lot knife fight. Good thing I got a new knife for my birthday and have been practicing. This is looking likely. I’m one of 10 with a perfect score so far. Draft hats at 10 paces...

Where are the 'traditional' Chicago Bears and what have you done with them, Ryan Poles?

There will be some DEs and DTs on the board at 75.

Just sit him behind Bagent for a year of seasoning ... yeah sure.

Truly one of favorite Bears games of all-time. I was going ape shit after McMahon came in and threw those TD passes (I don't tend todo this during games). I began to get a real good feeling about the team after that one. Wear it tonight, brother, and let's see the magic flow again. This may be the ...

The skull cap I won in the draft contest a few years back is getting kind of worn, I'm looking forward to replacing it after this year's contest: I’ll see your skull cap and raise you the hat I bought the day after the Thursday night Bears-Vikings game in which Jim McMahon yelled at Ditka on the si...

Austin Booker in the 3rd. Murphy or Newton in the 1st, finally give Flus his 3T.

The skull cap I won in the draft contest a few years back is getting kind of worn, I'm looking forward to replacing it after this year's contest: That is a well worn cap. Do you rub it with 120 grit sandpaper every morning? Just a fave that's been worn a few times. Don't wear it every day but this ...

The skull cap I won in the draft contest a few years back is getting kind of worn, I'm looking forward to replacing it after this year's contest:

1. The stadium looks great. Remove Soldiers Field, it's a wash for having a stadium on the lakefront 2. Warren says the Bears need to get working by May. It ain't gonna happen. The money won't be available, Friends of the Lake are just getting warmed up 3. $2 billion from the Bears. $300 million fro...

Will 60+ years of lots of bad fan years actually be coming to an end? A skilled OC who develops QBs. A decent OL which with the FA centers should be improved. TEs improved. WRs improved and will be better if Poles adds one more. Decent D which will be improved with another DE or 3T. 12 hours to go.

Quality versus quantity. 1999: the Saints trade their entire draft plus the following year's 1st and 3rd to the Dedskins for the draft pick giving them Ricky Williams, who was gone after 3 years. Then the Dedskins traded their 1-12 to the Bears for 1-7, a 3rd, 4th, and 5th, and a 3rd in the followin...
