I agree - in these cases if your board hasn’t lined up move down (or move up and get someone who you like who can start).

Didn’t read messages. This is a complete WTF pick. I don’t care what anyone says. There were still needs at this point.

didn't we JUST have him renegotiate his contract so we could get more cap space? yea, sure as f' makes sense to me.

He looks like a stud, and he can get out into the 2nd level easily, great movement.

DJ, now Kmet. The standard for excellence is set. Honestly, it's early and there's lots of time to prove himself yet, but this is the first little shot across Odunze's bow too. If Johnson didnt draft you, youd better give it everything you have. If we get Joshua Joseph tomorrow, or Dani Dennis-Sutton, this draft is going to look genius. If we dont get an Edge, somethings gotta give.

As to Roush, the writing is on the wall for Kmet.

its bizarre, BUT I would have been good with Dani Dennis-Sutton, Joshua Josephs, Mason Reiger and Ndame Tucker in the 3rd, and all four are still on the board. If we pick one of these guys, especially one of the first two, or at least they are there and we choose whichever Edge player, then Im gonna say that the Bears played the board and won. But its a huge risk. Let's see what tomorrow brings. And after that, let's see what might come in free agency. For example IF (if if) they sign Cam Jordan, or trade for Max Crosby or something then Im going to understand that they didnt like the options they had in the draft, for example. But if the roster as it is now, and this is what we roll with on the DL opening day, then something is very wrong. The current group just doesnt fit the rest of the team.

"Isn't this what we need for this 2025 NFL draft?" Poles was quoted as saying tonight before drafting a Tight End and then a Wide Receiver. oh that's right, it's 2026 and we did this last year. it's de' ja' vu all over again. why not keep drafting the same positions over and over and over and over for the rest of our lives? 1. poles gives a contract to a center who wants to retire (and he talks him out of it?) and 'surprise' he retires after ONE season. then drafts a center, that was a third round projected pick, in the 2nd round. all this after trading our f'king 5th round pick to the Pat's for this wonderful center a month ago. if this is even close to being sane, please explain it to me without mentioning how we needed to bring in a veteran center as a sure thing before the draft so we didn't draft for need. 2. a f&$#!ng 3rd string TE in the freaking third round?? i don't care how good this guy is projected. that's not even a luxury, that is stupidity. how many TE's do we really need? this off season we signed TE Qadir Ismail to a reserve/futures contract and we signed TEs Stephen Carlson and Nikola Kalinic to our roster. there are a hundred blocking TE's we could pick up after june 1st. 3. we sign a WR/kick return free agent from the lions. then we take our third round pick we traded our other 2nd round pick for to draft a WR kick return man. but, oh yea, we got an extra f&$@!%^& 5th round pick for trading down. makes complete sense to me after someone jabbed me in the jugular vein with a syringe full of scopolomine and LSD. what is our top priority this season? any guesses? DEFENSE!! oh that's right, we drafted a defensive tackle last year who was freaking INJURED. a good safety this year who FELL INTO OUR LAPS and was a NO BRAINER pick. that should turn our 24th ranked defense completely around. yes-sir-reeebob we are there now!! who the hell needs defensive linemen or linebackers when we have a plethora of third string tight ends and receivers? third day picks anyone? maybe a right tackle? or a guard? how about another quarterback or a punter just to round off a draft of stupidity. anyone guess at how we are going to keep this many same position players on our roster after the final cut? do we cut the recent veterans we signed or just the new draft picks? after all we can draft those same positions again next year. and yet again (year after year) i can truthfully say.... why in the H E L L is this guy still our pretend GM? there is nothing this guy does that makes any sense. his judgment in the draft and free agency is beyond mind boggling. but then again, who just gave this idiot an extension? one guess only.

Pretty disappointed with Day 2 on paper. You had two 2nd round picks and a third and might not have gotten a starter this year. I like Jones but this was a deep C draft and feel like you could have gotten him or a comparable player later. He better become a solid starter sooner than later. Like most Roush wasn’t on my radar. You take a 3rd TE when you don’t have a consistent pass rush or a dependable #2 CB? You can get a decent Y TE off the scrap heap. I probably shouldn’t doubt this scouting group on a TE after last year, but it’s hard not to. Thomas better be more Tyreek Hill than Velus Jones. And you better hope Burden and Odunze sat healthy because if one of them goes down, Thomas doesn’t seem like the kind of WR you can plug in outside. I’m sure Ben has a plan for him. But there’s plenty of other speedy receivers with better production than this guy and plenty of guys with inside/outside versatility available. I’m sure there will be some picks tomorrow I end up liking more and it’s clear this team has their own way of evaluating players that doesn’t mesh with a lot of other people’s. That’s great if it works and you stay on top. Poles is drafting like a team that thinks it has starters everywhere. I hope that’s true. Because if we get into the season and suddenly the DL isn’t getting it done and a CB goes down and depth is shaky, he had opportunities this draft to address that and so far he hasn’t. I guess it’s the same thing I’ve often found myself saying after a Bears draft - “I hope they know what they’re doing.”

The bears dont ask the fans who they should take and when they should take them. We have to see how it plays out. After last years draft, I was very disappointed and ended up being our best draft in a very long time.

All of this will pass and this year we will go to the SB and look back and say how smart they were. (hopefully)

As fans we think they need DL, edge prospects , and a S. A LT and center. They know what they have and what they wanted. This drafting team killed the draft last year. Lets give them some Kudos on they know what they are doing.

Look at the picks from their point of view. They got a stud S that fits their scheme. They drafted a 8 yr starting center with pro bowl potential. They drafted a killer blocking TE that the Bears will fit in their scheme. They drafted a speed merchant WR that have return experience. BJ will scheme plays for him.

Having 4 picks in the top 89 and not getting Edge or DT should be a fireable offense for Poles and the scouting staff. Unacceptable.

When do the Bears lock Ben Johnson in the closet haha. We have maybe our next Hester who at least played WR. Ben will move him around to scheme plays to him. We have some blazing speed that should make it exciting.

The Bears are strategically building there team. They know what they are doing, Im just a a fan with limited knowledge that thinks I am smarter than I am.

He has 4.28 speed.

I just posted it, Adam just delete mine.

Gadget player at 89. What is going on?

I will add he has a lot of drops, but was never a focal point for Stanford. Put him on a team that values TE and designs or schemes to him, he should keep growing into a player.

I should be clear - I think they have drafted 3 good football players and I’m very pleased with first 2 picks…I just would have went another way here. Ben is former TE coach and he is an offensive guru - clearly this pick is him and he has a plan…again not what I’d do but I do think we have 3 guys who will be solid football players. I would have preferred Hill who would have been a starting linebacker for this team and not had done the trade for the 5th rounder.

Did you forget who is sitting next to Ryan? You know Ben is having his way. He will just out score the opponents in the 4th.

Take a risk on the Tennessee db.
