ASHKUM BEAR

Good clip from the Velus call. Had a little dust in my eyes watching this.

They say he is raw but has scary good traits that can translate to a top tier pass rusher in NFL Also a former WR

Braxton Jones From CBS Sports Grade Analysis Major sleeper OT. Has legitimate Pro Bowl OT traits. Mean streak as a blocker pops on film too. Feet are outstanding. Does need to get a touch stronger. Dominated at small-school level. Love this with Justin Fields in mind. (Chris Trapasso) Strengths: Quick first step with great top-end speed. Good overall athleticism. Controlled into pass protection. Does a good job sealing backside pursuit in zone. Great size. Able to create torque with his lower body. Allows defenders to work away from play side.

Dominique Robinson DE/OLB with the next pick. Not sure what or where they see him

The Bears entered Saturday with: 5-148 5-150 6-186 They now have: 5-168 5-174 6-186 6-203 6-207 7-226 7-254 7-255

The #Bears trade back AGAIN, moving No. 150 to the #Texans for No. 166 and No. 207. So the #Bears now have 2 fives, 3 sixes and 2 sevens.

He said he wanted to move down. Wish he was able to do so earlier. Gives us another player so I'll take it. I hope we do lose out on Rasheed Walker LT who is next on my oline list Looks like they traded down again with Texans.

Watching Zach Tom get selected to go to GB is deflating. If we only had a 4th. If anything, I hope Poles values the draft and never gets desperate trading picks away.

As every draft, the picks do not line up with our expectations. Maybe it is having the NFL draft at our fingertips and running simulations and reading on prospects programs us to expect something different. Well it is now day 3 and we are half way through Round 4. Who do we want to finish this draft class? My wish list: OL Zach Tom, Jamaree Salyer, Cade May's, Kellen Deisch. DB Josh Jobe, Montaric Brown, Tariq Woolen WR Kahlil Shakir, Calvin Austin, Justyn Ross,

The Bears filled needs on the team with BPA, not biggest need. Round 2, pick 39 Kyler Gordan CB, the player to help Fields selected shortly after were 43 Wan'dale Robinson KR/slot/#3 WR. Then 44 John Metchie who I like is also a slot/WR #3. Then guys selected after Brisker at 2- 48 were 50 Tyquan Thorton WR, 52 George Pickens, and 53- Alec Pierce. I wanted Pierce and thought he would make a great X. Have to see who has the better career. On oline, we didn't miss much. Luke Goedke, Ed Ingram, Luke Fortner, Nicholas Petit-Ferer and Abraham Lucas. I think we can get an equal player in the 5th. I think with the picks we had, we maximized.

The Bears brought Strange in for an interview also. He was in my 5th round wheel house early on. Never thought he'd be a 1st because he was a small school prospect.

But who could he have drafted that could start at LT? Luke Goedtke? Poles targeted Patrick and Bates in FA, two guys who were slated at G or C. He has not targeted a OLT because he may see that player on the team already in Borum or Jenkins. Poles drafted at least two day 1 starters for the next 4 years. I think Velus becomes an electric playmaker who plays alot but may not start. They will get a 3T tomorrow along with a G (I hope Zach Tom slides down).

Noted as the best returner in the draft. If he can be a weapon in both returns and receiving, it is a good pick

Velus Jones Jr WR - I like the player. Not sure he is an X but he is a playmaker 4.31 speed and can play X and slot. Along with return.

Round 3 we may get a good value piece. I'd like to see: Zach Tom OT/G/C Bernard Raimann OT Rasheed Walker OT Jalen Tolbert WR David Bell WR K Shakir WR Perrin Winfrey 3T Christian Harris LB Leo Chenal LB Jeremy Ruckert TE

I wish WR Alec Pierce was selected but that wasn't the case. This is a deep WR draft, so plenty of lemons out there

Well well....day 3 pick WR Danny Gray?

Poles value chart from an interview a long time ago. 1.QB - Fields 2.OTs. Jenkins and Borum 3. Pass Rush. Quinn, Gibson, Muhammad. 4. CBs Johnson and Gordan 5. LBs RSmith and Marrow 6. S. Jackson and Brisker

This D has shaped up quick and can be a top 10 unit. I still think they need that stud 3T to get to that point.

He has taken two real good players that I have seen late in round 1 at times. I want all the offensive studs too but in Poles we trust. Just like we did with Emery and Pace.

All Rodgers needs is a WR that can get separation. Unless he has Marquez Valdez-Scantlin hands. I see him looking like Jordy Nelson catching deep balls.

Poles is not tied to Fields and his goal is to build a team, not an offense. If Gordan becomes a good player, then it was a good pick.

If Bears do not take WR Pierce, Colts have shown admiration to him and could take him.

Aaron Rodgers next favorite target is Christian Watson WR. Thanks to the Vikings.

Word was if the Bears do not take Pierce at 39, he will be gone shortly after. His value is higher than thought.
