Re: The 2024 Draft
I'm not liking that mock above. Good Bad Ugly The Good: Minny moving up for McCarthy will cost them dearly in the next few years. The Bad: All three WR's are gone before the Bears pick. The Ugly: Murphy?! No. If Turner is on the board then you have to take him or another edge that Poles has highly r...

Re: 'Get all of Wales on board with the Chicago Bears'
Both Bagent and Williams started out around the DC area, though Bagent was a little further out from DC. It will be interesting to see if the national night games (Thurs/Sun/Mon) pick up a feature on the Bears young QB's and their relationship.
The Bagent story keeps getting better and better.

In Poles we trust. Our of all the positional groups he should have the best handle on the future of the OL and how he wants to structure it.

Like Judge Ark, a little late to the party, or "viewing". Like others have said, the NFL evaluated Fields and didn't think he was worthy of gambling on him being a starter. The 5th year money scared some teams away. I had my doubts about his decision making. A QB can have all the physical ...

Re: Bears trade 4th rd pick to Chargers for WR Keenan Allen
Tyler Scott was a 4th rd pick, and Poles will want to give him time to prove himself. I believe they still need a big-body receiver and will draft one, but it's difficult to tell which pick they'll use for it as he'll probably use a first round pick on a pass rusher DE.

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.

Fields still being here may be one of those "keeping the devil I know" as a vet backup IF they intend to draft CW. The other vet backups give them less of a chance to win if they get in the game. And it may just be an open competition in TC, as I've been advocating. We should know more by ...

First thing I thought when I saw the Diontae Johnson announcement - no way the Bears and Poles were going to touch him with a 20 foot pole after the Claypool fiasco. Can you imagine Diontae and his ego on the team, and then if he flamed out? Bears need some WR's but are not that desperate.
