ASHKUM BEAR

Watch out because the next 3 months there will be a lot of hype created around Will Levis and Anthony Richardson who both have better tools.

Not a fan of using first round picks at LB/RB but rd 2 you can consider.

I mention that they add 1 or 2 FA and draft 2 and that was too many with the other holes. We know we need RT, C and possibly G. Poles was in KC when they revamped the line there by drafting C Creed Humphries 2nd rd and Trey Smith G 6th rd and bringing in 5 FAs "led the Chiefs to add Brown, Thuney, Austin Blythe, Long, Humphrey, Smith and 2020 opt-outs Duvernay-Tardif and Niang" I think Poles keeps bringing the talent in until they are great with solid depth.

I project Poles to sign 1 or 2 top Oline FAs and then draft 2 in the first 4 rounds. If Jones is one of the best 5, then he stays. The oline can run block but is terrible in pass. That has to change.

Jones held his own as a rookie but if Poles can bring in someone better, then Jones has to beat that guy in TC and elevate to hold his spot. I'm good with that. I want Getsy to put his offense in that doesn't have restrictions because of holes on the line.

Seattle or Oakland works. Devante Adam's might be a better fit with Claypool and Mooney.

2023 all hinges on Justin Fields taking that next step. To help him take that step, he needs talent around him. The oline could have 3 or 4 new starters. Don't be surprised if Poles brings in Orlando Brown to play LT, drafts a RT and C in first 3 rounds along with a WR. The Defense needs 4 new lineman. Draft 2 or 3 and sign 2 FA. A move down once or twice could give the ammo to draft 2 oline, 1 wr, and 2-3 dline in top 100 picks.

I would hate to see him leave when he hasn't got to do much magic yet. I think the next two years if the rest of the balls drop right will be rewarding

Poles said he will be sound in FA. Need the right guys and good financial decisions. I hope we don't miss out on our targets either.

Levi's has all the tools you want but needs to be refined. He can elevate himself at senior bowl and combine.

I loved hearing stories about Hester and how he spent so much time in training camp just catching punts. They threw every type of kick at him because every punter in the league had different techniques. I hope Flus had V12 doing that in TC. I would like to see him step up to WR3 next year. Be our Deebo Samuel with sweeps and screens.

Velus breaks 100 yards receiving for the year and adds a 42 yd touchdown run on a sweep. He had a slow start but as the team and himself gained confidence in each other he showed what he is capable of doing. I believe he takes that next step in 2023.

The Bears only beat Hou with a last second FG.

I would say the Bears can trade down to pick 8 or 10 and gain much more than they lose. Trade 1 -pick 2 for pick 4, 18, & 2024 1st. Trade 2-pick 4 for pick 8, 39, & 2024 1st Big picks - Tyree Wilson DE, Paris Johnson LT, Calijah Kancey 3T, Garvin Dexter 5T, John Micheal Schmitz C. I regret missing a good WR around 65-70 range. But 2024, we are not missing out on Harrison The rest are depth/competition Van Pran is G/C depth.

Pollard is my first choice if they move on from Monty. I still would not be shocked if they take a RB 2nd or 3rd round as long as they accumulate picks by trading down. They got to watch two of my favorite prospects up close. Jahmyr Gibbs Ala and Sean Tucker Syracuse. Gibbs is one of my favorite because he can do it all (run, catch, and block.) I know it is not popular, but a great receiving back like Gibbs will be a huge piece for this offense to help Fields.

Imagine being part of the NFL from near creation (1920) to now. Virginia is the queen of football. Happy Birthday and I hope the Bears being you a championship soon.

Ryan Pace? I know, i know.... Interesting that 2 of his 3 top offensive guys didn't play much. Next season they become league leaders? Also, what he looks for...height/arm length makes me question Peter Skoronski being a target, his arms will come up on the shorter end.

Any idea on Skoronski's arm length? I have a feeling if his arms are not long enough, he gets passed if top 10.

I like it. He knows this offense, great blocker, and I think he can improve once Fields develops as a passer.

We are all Fields fans and hope he rises to a top 5 - 10 QB. Get him great protection and another target and hope he makes that transition.

It seems we have been through rebuilds too often. Just haven't been through one that paid off or worked. The biggest step is getting QB1 right. Fields sounds like the right one behind the mic, but he hasn't shown enough. This is why I want the Bears to gain a future 1st in a trade down. If Fields don't make the turn next year, they need to draft another.

I think Tyree Wilson is going to be a stud DE. Anderson more of a OLB. Fit wise, Flus and Poles emphasize size/length as a trait amd Wilson fits.

This is a great scenario. I'd be happy moving down to 10 and landing Bresee and/or Wilson.

I agree. Make sure you get a future 1st in at least one trade down. This team needs so much that Fields will be wasted by the time they are competitve.

Fields needs to develop. They need to force Fields to throw 6 to 8 times to Claypool.
