Re: Whitehair starting C for 2023 Bears?
From what I have heard, Davic is at LG , Whitehair moves to C, Jenkins says at RG. Patrick is backup C , J Carter is swing G with Borum as swing T going into the draft.

Re: Mays: Bears asking price is 2023 1st & 2nd, 1sts in '24, '25
Trading to 7 (LV) or 16 (Wash) is awfully different. I don't see how your ask can be the same rounds for picks, either way. Which is why this post is so funny! Did their source hear this rumor from a Carolina guy? A Washington guy? A Las Vegas guy? A Jets guy? Extrapolating that this is their ASKIN...

Re: PFF predicts Bears sign 3 major FAs
Read that. Throw in a tough-ass center also. I know this will go over like a fart in church, but I think this front office still REALLY LIKES Lucas Patrick ... they may draft someone to groom behind him, but from what I've heard they see him as the starting C in '23.

Re: High Upside Free Agents
He used it all over. The only one who even debatably elevated their game meaningfully would be Morrow (and I would say not by much). I'd add Lucas Patrick and Al-Quadin Muhammad to the list of failed Upside Free Agents. Although neither broke the bank. But Patrick's cap hit next year is 5.4M. Pente...

Re: If Jones starts at LT . . .
I agree with most of that Ark. I do think you might be under-appreciating how much they like Kramer, and how much potential both Thomas and Carter have. I'd be willing to bet they don't risk any of the 4 OL picks to waivers, and that all 11 picks make the 53. On Robinson I think it is a bit more ex...

Nice Post DP and I agree with alot of it. Should of overpaid for Bates and shored up the inside oline. As for the draft, I think Pole did great especially with no R1.

Re: How the Bears’ offensive line play could look under coach Chris Morgan
Pretty simple--Daniels had a very average 2021, often times displaying sub-par effort. Poles wasn't going to sink a lot of money into a guy like that--a guy who, essentially, goes against Flus' core philosophies. I would have kept Daniels, and hoped for a rebound...but Poles deciding otherwise is h...

They were pretty bad Ark, 22nd out of 32 is poor. And, they were worse after those injuries than before. So if comparing the Mack/Hicks-less version, it’d be even a bit lower than 22nd. I expect improvement as well but worry teams are gonna run on us. DP cmon brew, who didn't run on us last year? L...

Flues is saying he is evaluating both set ups of OTs. If you dont think he wants to do it in pads you are kidding yourself. IMO who starts the first week in camp is unimportant. Who starts week one is important. Who starts at the midway point of the season is the next step of importance, And by the ...

Re: Brisker would of gone 39th.....
IMO Poles would have traded down or drafted the highest player still on his board. I think Poles was going BPA in the early part of the draft period. The draft opened to defense when the first round had so many WRs taken.
