That was my thinking as well. Maybe number 3?

They’d have to ‘un-retire’ number 3
Maybe less likely than give him #1

I feel Caleb will be more than happy to be #1

If a high level of self-confidence tinged with a little arrogance is too much to overlook I guess we should label Mac with the same when he was drafted and showed up for the first time with a 6-pak in hand … THIS RIGHT HERE! Think of all the UNBELIEVABLY WILD stuff that McMahon did as a draftee and...

Actually I like that video of Caleb. I pay less (zero) attention to his words and more attention to his actions. I like the way he moves along the line to talk to people face to face. That speaks volumes to me, it’s the little things which say a lot. An arrogant prick would stand there and say, ‘you...

No mention of Fields which could harm the grade. Still pretty irrelevant. Re-signed JJ for less than the tag Acquired Gerald Everett Acquired Keenan Allen Signed Byard for half of what EJax would have cost. Don’t really care about the grade but Poles team have had an outstanding FA in my opinion, re...

He seems like a very affable guy.
I like him, I don’t get the arrogant vibe

Trenton GIll, you're days are numbered!

Saves a roster spot.

How awesome would it be if your QB is your punter.

Fake punts would be easy, also you could pretend you’re going for it on 4th down and then punt it

The Marshall Plan wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 2:47 pm For expectations, we were playing like a playoff team when we acquired Sweat.

Since then we’ve upgraded WR and RB with an alleged upgrade at QB forthcoming plus whomever we draft at 9.

Then our schedule isn’t that hard.

We should be a playoff team next year.

Definitely

Excuse me, we pay our salary in freedom units, not queens money

Ok, we pay ours in the Kings currency

£15m for 1year - yes please, but STLINI is correct re: draft cost

You sold me

Phew, that’s a bold move if Poles takes it on.
Are we “all in” on this season?
Go for it Poles

I think Poles might try and trade up to get MHJ at 3

Even if CW does that, we rinse Washington for picks and then draft a different QB.

Maye, Daniels, McCarthy - they’ll all do well with these weapons

I think they signed Coleman to start at C and traded for Bates to be insurance inside. I'll be surprised if they don't look to draft someone to be the the heir apparent to Coleman, especially with him only inking a one-year deal. I agree this is the blueprint. Draft a center, let them learn from th...

I think its gonna be Bates as well.

Would not bet my life on it though

I'm leaning towards Coleman with Bates potentially pushing Davis, simply because of the positional versatility Bates has...whereas Coleman is pretty much just a center.

The medicals are being shared at his pro day, so….it probably does matter They're not handing out physical copies at the pro day - and he'll be doing a medical exam with, at the very least, the Bears when he visits their facility for his top 30 visit. So presumably the Bears won’t be sending anyone...

Isn’t his pro day on Weds?
Doubt Poles will make any firm decisions before then

Pony avatar bet, then?

No, I’ve changed my position on CW anyway.
Purely because I think he’s the only one with an ego to take it on..

So CW will be QB but I think he might like to be number 1

Joining you in this boat

Shelton is the starter for me.
Bates is back up all along the line

and Everett
and Swift

We have a don’t have the holes we used to have, I don’t think we need 8 draft picks.
We need quality not quantity.
We have some cap space if some holes persist.

If we draft 4 players I’m comfortable with that.

HurricaneBear wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 6:16 am We got this guy who normally would have walked in to be the Bears #1 with a sub par #2 like a Mooney in place. Instead, Poles is pairing him with DJ freaking Moore, a receiver who is clearly better than Allen.

I am still giddy over this

And Gerald Everett
And D’Andre Swift

I think this move by Poles puts a hell of a lot of pressure on the next QB, a hell of a lot.

Therefore I doubt it’s Maye, Daniels, Penix

It has to be someone with an ego the size of a planet and the self belief to go with it.

So it must be Caleb

I have to say I’m declaring FA a success by Poles: Kevin Byard is a 2 time all pro safety. D’Andre Swift is a clear upgrade at a position of need. Gerald Everett is a brilliant TE2 to fit with Waldron’s schemes Coleman Sheldon is a good center who plays ……center - almost an alien concept to the rece...

Well, maybe because that's the exact 180 degree polar opposite of the reason to get him?

Yeah but what you fail to realize is that Bagent is a future hall of famer.

No he’s a future hell of a farmer

Well page 224 is rather long so a couple of last minute thoughts could get us to 225 I guess

There is a good chance of that Ark

I don’t know if we draft Caleb but I don’t see the justification for calling him a turd of a human being. What’s behind that? He’s not even associated with any misdemeanours let alone someone like Jalen Carter. Caleb loves Caleb. I don’t care about that. If we draft him and he has an unlikeable pers...
