Okay, wasn't expecting that. They're putting together a hell of a LB unit.

The draft is stacked with late LB talent.
Not so much OT DL and DE in later rounds

Holy shit!
Curious if they see Urlacher 2.0 with him in this scheme!
Edmunds: 6044/253/1.60 - 2.65 - 4.54/19 reps/9'9" broad jump/34.5" arms
Urlacher: 6037/258/1.63 - 2.69 - 4.57/27 reps/10'2" broad jump/33" arms
'Lach is stronger and more athletic, but still, one could see what Eberflus may have in mind for this defense.

Clearly they're not as excited about Sanborn as some of us were. But Poles went and got himself the two top young LBs.
Now on to the DL and OL.

They’re signing younger guys and being reasonable with line resources in a market that’s clearly gone off the rails and is leading to foolish investments. The Bears aren't desperate.

They really are running back Lovie’s defense. At least at LB…

That's what it feels like, doesn't it??
Although I wonder if they see Edmunds playing the WILL due to that massive contract.... we'll see!

Because he’s young and good and was making plays in a new system. Smith wanted the bag and was representing himself (which is not a great idea most of the time), so here we are. No point in trying to overthink this or do 5D surgery to find a reason to be pissed off.The Marshall Plan wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 3:33 pmThen why did Poles offer Roquan a contract in the first place?
