ASHKUM BEAR

Building through the draft, especially at premium positions is how a successful team is built; taking RB and LB is not (det). If the Bear did get McGlinchey at their price, we would be talking about Van Ness or Kancey today. I am also glad the way it shook out because we got the top need and a future pick.

I haven't heard the interview since I was at a draft party. My clan wanted Carter, I wanted Wright after Paris Jones Jr was picked. I convinced them Wright shut all the best down. Would have been just as happy with Anton Harrison a little deeper. Poles nailed pick 1 and I hope they can land USC Tuilputotou rd 2. After him the Northwestern kid if they miss him.

The Bears got a great player that will be a blue chipper and not be a better at Guard guy. One of the players I wanted, so I am happy. Now get a 3T and DE.

They took a RB and LB round one, two no no's. I laughed my butt off

Darnell Wright RT Tennessee Going all in on JFields

For a 4th next year wish it was more but they didn't like Carter

So it goes 1 Young QB. CAR 2. Stroud QB Hou 3 Anderson Edge trade Hou 4. Richardson QB Ind 5 Witherspoon CB Sea 6. Paris Johnson Jr LT trade Arizona

I would say they don't want to reach too far by their grading scale/list. Poles and Flus have traits and skills they might value differently. If Bijan rates 9.8 and Wright 8.2, do they pass that value for a need? I know I value need myself, but I'm just a fan that loves this process.

His value is purely RT. That is need A or B for the Bears so I can see them selecting him based on need. I feel he should be slotted 12-17, so they could reach a little. Poles didn't offer McGlinchey SF money because he knows he could get an equal player in the draft at a much better price.

Their best case is for him to drop and a team trades massive capital for him. Give more ammo for the Bears to take players they feel good about buying into their system. Carter can sink a team or elevate a team but it all depends on him buying in

I thought the punter we signed was a NYG, and Velus muffed one at that game. But he wasn't the punter. Getting him different looks is what he needs

I think they want Wright, but not at 9. They want a team to move up for one of them if there. I think the eagles can give more based on how close they are. I hope we don't go CB to be honest with Gordan, Johnson, Brisker. And Jackson. I know they need another but the Bears need linemen on both sides

Cunningham did a pre-draft interview, good stuff. The Bears will go bpa day 1 and 2, but target needs more day 3. He I'd like to listen to it completely but heard only some highlights. He did say Bijan and Jalen are worthy of top 10. So he left some bait for teams coveting them.

I believe he was. I felt Dexter had the higher ceiling where Benton had the higher floor especially at 3T. I have Tuli as a 3T/DE and Dexter as possibly a pure 3T that can excel with the right coaching. I like Benton, he will be a long time player but not sure if he is the 1T or 3T.

I have heard that after Young, Stroud, Robinson, Anderson, and Carter, their isn't much grade difference from there down to the top 3rd of the 2nd round. If Carter don't drop, I can see Poles making a trade to get another 2nd tired player. Our 2 2nds are somewhat out of that range, so I can see him making a move. I used the PFN simulator to give me the players as they slotted. Took a trade with the Saints. Pick 9 for 29, 40, and 71. I was eyeing Zac Kuntz TE at pick 103, but he was selected and took best CB. I know the D-line wasn't addressed high, but feel pieces were added to develop while addressing the needs to help elevate Fields. I feel Fields needs the pieces first then if he does elevate Poles has ammo and alot of cap next year to concentrate of making the D a monster again.

I agree, but that is about it for simulators that don't make you subscribe.

I was giving you some crap. I agree about a stud Center can make a world of difference like Kelce or Humphrey. I also agree with Mongo that if JSN is going to be a menace like Kupp or D Adam's, I can see that point or even B Robinson at RB. The draft is about making this team the best and if done right, it will be a fun team to watch. They can use upgrades at almost every position, so I am not afraid to draft a OT, WR, RB or C if that player comes in and plays elite and replaces a good player.

If they are trying to be better this year, why would they use their 2nd rd pick when they have 3 Centers already on the team. He is not going to give up on Kramer who he drafted and will give him every opportunity. He is not using his assets on a position only 1 player can play. It just doesn't make sense when Whitehair, Patrick, And Kramer are still here. You can't draft a center now because Whitehair or Patrick might be gone next.

I know this year, the Bears do not really need another WR but next year they might lose Mooney and Claypool. I am for it if they can trade down and aquire a high 2nd. That will give them ammo to trade up if needed for a 3T/OT or stand pat and get the players needed. I am a huge get the best OT guy, but understand a RT can be found round 2.

Whether Ade Adebawore is a 3T/DE, the Bear doubled down with Dexter. Ika as the 1T/NT will help draw double teams to keep the LBs clean. The the Illini bus pulls in with Martin, Brown, and Devito.

I like it! My current RB I want is Chase Brown, he has the extra gear but sacrifices the break tackles that McIntosh has. Center, I feel like there are a handful of guys I think can be an upgrade and am good with Tippmann if chosen.

I have a feeling he is gone before the Bears pick. Pitt wants to move up for OT according to rumors. I think it would be a mistake to pass on him. I'd be fine with the 3 other OTs ( B Jone, P Skor, or D Wright) if a great trade is made.

Could be. If Pole is planning to move down, I hope not much. They need a blue-chipper who can anchor a high value position for many years.

He will be a risk for whoever gambles on him in a couple weeks. If the Bears take that chance, I will be behind them but the flags are a huge concern.

How much attention have the Bears showed in Skor? They could be sleeping on him. I'm worried about his arms but he has proved in the big 10 he can do the job.
