Yeah, but I don’t think they stay there.

By the time his playing career was over, The Round Mound of Touchdowns, Jared Lorenzen , was likely bigger as well. A moment of silence for the Hefty Lefty. Heaviest player ever in the NFL was Aaron Gibson: A blue-chip prospect out of Wisconsin, Gibson was once the heaviest player in NFL history, o...

Tuli Tuipulotu, DT, USC Gervon Dexter Sr., DT, Florida State Tuli weighed in at 260 at the Combine - after being listed at 290 at Southern Cal. If he's really 260, he's probably a DE. Dexter is a guy who had a lot of hype during the early mocks in January - and despite having a good Combine, seems ...

Remaining Pro Days & some random thoughts: March 20 Iowa (Sam LaPorta, Van Ness & Campbell) South Alabama Syracuse ( OT Matthew Bergeron - who I like a lot in the Second) Virginia Tech March 21 Auburn Iowa State (Will McDonald) Liberty Princeton Rutgers Troy USC (Tuli, Jordan Addison) March ...

Agree on the Lions - my pick to win the North.

Goff played very well last year: 4400 yards 29/7 (much better than Stafford btw)

This dude is a Grade A A-Hole. I'm not sorry he's not on the Bears, but don't want to seem him twice a year either. Bears WRs have shown a complete lack of composure around this guy - probably ended the career of both Wims and Miller in Chicago. (I mean ... they kind of ended it with their play, bu...

We tend to forget that this team had the first pick this year because they were the WORST IN THE LEAGUE.

A move to 7 wins this year would be a monumental leap.

What would people’s thoughts be if the Bears traded down again and took Kancey out of Pitt? For the same reasons that I like Van Ness, I dislike Kancey. While he has the tape, I don’t like how he projects to the next level. More interested in Adetomiwa Adebawore or Tuli Tuipulotu (have to put some ...

Was just researching him also - he’s on my list at 9, but I saw some of the same lack of instincts as you did. His small hands are a mess and he’s slow off the snap … but once he moves, he has a really fast first couple of snaps. You can coach him up on those. Both Clemson DLs (Breese) are hard to f...

The great news is that the Bears have a ton of options at 9. If you want to root for a player - root for Will Levis to blow someone away at his Pro Day and he’s either taken in the Top 8 or sitting at 9 with an aggressive suitor who wants him. I’d love it to be Green Bay and they throw yet another s...

Bears run primarily a 4-2-5

Billings was PFF's 16th ranked interior DLineman last years. Our ex-guy Tonga was like 13th. That was one of Poles' decisions I didn't really like - but accepted given the new regime's stated desire for certain types of players. Is Billings really that different than Tonga? Both are more run stuffe...

The reason he wants to be traded is that he's in his 5th Year Option and wants to be a LT, not a RT or an OG.

With that in mind, I don't think he makes sense.

Plus he lead the league for LTs with 12 sacks given up.

Compliments Herbert's style well - any 411 on him from a pass protection perspective?

Fun Fact: Foreman rushed for more yards than Montgomery last season.

Like this signing very much. Move TE to compliment Inline Kmet.

With that said, I'm off to watch my "Perenially One and Done Champions" Fighting Illini in theNCAA tourney. Wish me luck. I'll be optimistic until there is clear evidence not to be.

Well, you didn't have any misplaced optimism there .... One and Done yet again.

I have no idea what Siemian did or didn't do that convinces you he isn't the guy you deliberately signed a year ago or what's so great about PJ Walker. But this isn't within spyglass distance of the top 20 issues facing the team, so I give it two shrugs up. Agree - it's a non-issue until Fields' an...

Those Dudes Abide.

We need the Dudes.

I think that was fairly obvious that this one was coming.

Siemian must have known also because he put his place in Chicago up for sale right after the season.

Or maybe he will just never ever be a good practice player - but he's good in the games (If the Coaching staff can't deal with that - that is on the Coaching staff IMHO) I think that is taking their "must love football" mantra and making it literal. "If you truly love football, you w...

I don't think he's a locker room killer - he's a young, immature kid who is looking for some reassurance/pat on the back from the FO/Coaching Staff. He's not really getting it from anyone, so he gets anxious and a) cops a bit of an attitude and b) says dumb stuff. I don't think anyone thinks he's a ...

Regardless if you play Whitehair or Patrick at C, you should draft and groom one (unless they think it's Doug Kramer). I'm nervous that they might. Counting on a R6/7 you've never seen play a real game to do anything beyond ST isn't a good idea. But you never know... Agree - just SO MANY holes they...

I’m IN for Zach Charbonnet in the late 2nd Round. Really nice compliment to Herbert.

Doesn't seem like a H.I.T.S. candidate - Poles has been very vocal about character and "loving football". The full body of work since the season ended have shown gaps in both of them. Hope the dude gets his shit straight - he's amazingly talented. Two many red flags - let him be a Raider.

On cutting Whitehair, they don't need to do that to sign Brown. They may choose to as a veteran courtesy if he isn't in their plans. I think Poles knows more about Brown Jr than any other GM (short of the Chiefs) - if he doesn't make an effort to sign him (and so far have seen zero evidence of that)...

I don't sweat the Jones vs Edmunds issue for a couple of reasons - he's focused on adding great talent and Edmunds is a great talent. He legitimately is an athletic comp for Urlacher and seems custom built for this defense. By mid Also, the Jones deal structure was really, really hard to stomach. $...
