ASHKUM BEAR

Erik Lambert has an article about this. Said Brad Biggs confirmed it. It is out there if you do some digging, took 10 seconds to google. "Ryan Poles will not block his assisants from advancing their careers." https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/bears-insider-finally-sheds-light-on-ian-cunningham-comp-picks-situation/

If I was the Bears, I would confirm before letting him go. I see it as you, but with tweets or articles on it from notable sources, you never know.

Where do you see Sherman Turner playing going forward? 3T or DE, or DL-Joker? At 6-3, 290 he has quickness to penatrate. Determining his position will help slot this draft priorities. Let him and Dexter play 3Tand draft a 0-T like Kayden McDonald?

Many internet experts are saying no 3rd rd compensation picks. Poles needs to have an emergency discussion with the commissioner because this title GM will come with a pay raise. No matter who makes the final calls, its a promotion. If the commissioner sides with no comp, then that title should not be used or official.

A few weeks ago I brought it up that they played together at Boston College and that there was a rumor that Matt might want Poles as his GM. If Poles can block Ian from the job, he should (imo). The Bears cannot let the NFL/Falcons get away from acquiring our talent without compensation by using a loop.

He might be a homer and see this out despite his targets. Seeing his team get closer to the big dance will be hard to walk away from. He was a 2nd option, then they drafted Odunze and signed Keenan the following year and Loveland and Burden the next. He would have to find a team with lesser talent and in this new era NFL, he would be a 3 or 4 at best.

I can see the Bears drafting C/G. They can use another quality backup if they dont resign McFadden. Theres a couple 2nd-3rd rd C prospects id be good with in the 3rd. Id like to let a Center learn at least a year while being able to step in if needed. As for drafting a RB, it'll most likely be a 2027 target, but I predict BJ will want one he can cook with. We now see why he was rocking crazy after drafting Loveland. I think he has the same desire to find that in a RB.

You didnt get that email from Ryan Poles? Everything is speculation, scenarios, and clicks. Buffalo would be interested if they were not 11 million over the cap going into 2026. Tennessee has 100 million to spend, that is the team to work with

I seen some bad passes dropped and others that should be caught. They are in the big boy league, one making 25 million to catch, they need to be better both QB and WRs. BJ made sure to call that out so I expect it not to be an issue next season.

I was happy to see TTNL post Rams/season clip and they call out Randall El also. The WRs had a bad year with catching the ball and giving effort. They were all put on notice, not from the last play either.

I think that weather had a huge effect on passing, but both teams are not on the same level as Sea or LA, or the beloved

Buffalo wants him. Would there 4th be good? We'd have back to back 4th round picks. Not sure they can designate it post June for more cap savings, if not how bout give DJ and a 5th for their 3rd. https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/nfl/buffalo-bills/news/bills-predicted-pull-trade-bears-would-help-josh-allen/9eb01aa29c5b5a3ffbe9a502

Depends on the position target, you get a DL, OL, or another premium position, 5 years can make a difference. If they want a S, maybe trade down for more picks.

The only reason, if they do, is to boost the defense. We were very lucky this season and play a stronger schedule. If the Bears repeat the heroic comebacks again then its destiny, but I wouldnt count on it. Moore is valuable but for 27.5 mil, maybe not that much. That's your nfls top 10-12. Can they sacrifice defensive performance another year will be up to Poles and what the league feels about having Moore.

If there's a chance to bring in Crosby in a trade, I'd consider to free up the money.

I laughed at Detroit for drafting Gibbs and then that ILB a few years ago round 1, so I get it. But would you rather have Gibbs or Swift if you had a choice? Its Gibbs for me, but no I wouldn't want to use a 1st, but a 3rd I can live with. The Bears oline was rebuilt, looked great except for Ozzys injury and now being out for most of the year. If Johnson sees a RB that would pair well with Monongai, I wouldnt be surprised if that happens. Swift will stick around next season but they will invest in another sooner than later to have a #1 guy by 2027. .

How close do you think Monongai is to Swift? Maybe 60 swift/40 monongai? Next year that could flip. Draft one somewhere in rd 3-7 and when Swifts contract is up at the end of 2026 season he walks and the rookie is seasoned to shine with Monongai. The offense wont be totally off hands come draft. They can go WR(DJ), RB (DS), TE (CK), or OL to start prepping. They cannot keep all the vets, great teams know how to cycle.

They need to get a defense to have a shot of repeating, especially winning the top/#1 schedule. We may have a good offense, but cannot rely on 4th qtr heroics every game especially against better opponents. Receivers need to catch and Caleb needs to read the field like he does with 2-3 minutes left.

I feel pretty good with Odunze, Burden, and Walker if DJ is moved. Draft another later and sign someone with better hands than zaccheous. With all the drops by all the receivers, they need to spend the offseason together taking Caleb's bullets. I love Randell El, but he needs to work harder getting his WR hands stickier.

I'd prefer to move on from Swift instead of more years. Seems like he dogged it until Monongai showed us what can be done. They also switched up the run scheme. If a 7th round rookie can light it up, imagine a top tier prospect with speed.

Kelce said he may retire, dont blame him since Mahomes could miss time. Because he signed an extension doesnt mean he cant retire. He can make as much or more on TV and KC was awful this season. If DJ stays great, but they need to re-work his money. If he knew his assignment and hustled, he'd be a hero again and we'd be talking Seattle.

I really liked Tankathons last draft. Pick one might be better getting a 3T, like Christian Miller, Ga. I might be greedy and take Alex Singleton RB if there rd 3. He seems like a good fit to replace Swift in time. But I'd be happy getting a NT like Corleone. 1- TJ Parker DE 2- Dillon Theineman S 3- Dontay Corleone DT 4- Alex Harkey OT

I am seeing FB ads/posts saying he is the OC for the Chiefs. Officially, I cant believe it bc its FB. Wish he stuck it out here, but he has to take the promotion even if Reid calls the plays. Good luck EB, you made a difference with our backs.

Would have to get to #3. It would take possibly 2 firsts and a player. Pretty steep, but if he is Myles Garrett 2.0 might be worth it.

Like I said earlier, they will give Kiran another chance. He either sinks or swims. Playing next to Thuney, these young guys learn a lot. He has all off season to get right and stronger. Maybe he makes it
