Everybody gets excessively hopeful about late round picks for some reason. I think the people here making Maxx Crosby comparisons should be a tad embarrassed. It really comes down to me not seeing a need to trade up. So we traded a fourth round pick for this guy? Didn't we just get Keenan Allen for...

What is it that you don't like about Taylor? I think the Bears should draft him! Maybe even in the fourth!

Looked it up--Kiper wasn't all that enthused about the Amegadjie, Taylor, OR Booker picks.

Hell, he gave Poles a "B" because of those picks--taking difference with Poles' choices, there.

I give Poles a "B" BECAUSE of those picks...I love all three of them. Weird.

Man, did Pitt have themselves a hell of a draft: 1 1 20 20 Troy Fautanu G Washington 2 2 19 51 Zach Frazier C West Virginia 3 3 20 84 Roman Wilson WR Michigan 4 3 34 98 Payton Wilson LB North Carolina State 5 4 19 119 Mason McCormick G South Dakota State 6 6 2 178 Logan Lee DT Iowa 7 6 19 195 Ryan ...

Side note: I think Gervon Dexter gets even scarier. This will most certainly happen. I'm calling it now. I don't think most folks really appreciate just how good he was in the games he excelled in. The Bears split with the Packers in the regular season but beat their ass in the first round of the p...

I thought that looked like Ron!

My man Keith Randolph!!! Watched him play high school basketball and then football at Illinois. Great kid, played this past season nicked up which cost him. I’ll be shocked if he can’t make the roster. Not explosive pass rush, but can occupy blockers and hold the line. Off-topic, but, just what the...

why does anyone even read or listen to Mel Kiper? Dude is always wrong and talks out of his ass. Well, I don't always (or even often) agree with him anymore...but I am interested in what he has to say. Williams was the #1 guy on his board, and he LOVED us getting Odunze. Weird he'd give us a 'B'...

dplank wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 11:15 am Kiper only gave us a B

Huh. Why was that? I thought he loved the Odunze pick?

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...

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 ...

Merging some of the rando draft related threads. Thank you. It was getting sort of confusing. DJ Moore will be just 29 in 2026 so I believe that if he's healthy and productive Poles will look to extend him for another 3-4 years during the 2025 season. These two expiring deals is one reason why draf...

I'm not well versed enough in ANYTHING this year to give UDFA opinions. Who's the QB you're mentioning, though?

Since your this good at predicting the future any insight on the winning Power Ball number?

Or, who wins the Super Bowl?

The better prospect is always the better pick, all things being equal. It’s not like the Bears couldn’t use a WR. So, if Daniels had slipped to #9, and was the highest ranked player on the Bears board, they should have drafted him? Moore and Allen were already the best one-two WR punch in the league.
