ASHKUM BEAR

And to think many on here wanted Jenkins with our first round pick before moving up. Maybe the Bears should put him on the trade block and see if they can get back their 2nd. Then they can take Fuele.

Scratch that as a high draft need. I forget these things leak before the actual date of 3/16.

WR Micheal Gallup re-signs with the Cowboys and Tom Brady un-retires and rejoins the Bucs.

Every mock I run has no LT prospects at 39 a few decent RTs. Maybe a decent G but Zion in my mocks went at the end of Rd1. I could see them take S Cine or CB Woolen/McCreary. If Raimann is there at 39, that might be the OL.

No trades down, couldn't find an OLT prospect early, but this could be a route taken. Ideally we trade down to gain a 4th or low 3rd. 1st pick Rd 2a is the 3T that can disrupt the offense. 2b is our Randy Moss. RD3 is another WR target that can play early for Fields. 5a is a good CB prospect that has a chance of starting, 5b is a nasty guard that plays with attitude. RD 6 is a raw OLT prospect. To turn this franchise around, it will take a few good drafts.

I was thinking the same. Quinn preferred the 4-3 if I recall. Mack prefers 3-4 and may have requested the trade.

Completely agree. I wish we had a bunch of picks but that is what happens when a team has been run poorly for 15 years. Let's hope Poles doesn't get desperate and start making drastic moves to try and quick fix it. We can make a huge stride with 2 FA signings followed by a solid draft. Get a Center and WR to help Fields.

I think they fill the Mike LB with the first 3 picks. No specific order, I see them going WR, G, and MLB. They either re-sign G-Daniel's or let him walk and sign C-Jensen. Then draft a G which is easier to find in the middle of the draft.

Arob is at the point of his career where he needs to go to a contender. Take a pay cut, join Arizona and win the next Superbowl with Murray, Conner, Ertz, and Hopkins.

Seems all the Bears DL are in the 6-4 315 range Plus/Minus 1 inch Plus/minus 25 pounds I think they can all interchange and if they plan to use Mack, Quinn, and Gibson as DEs, then the DTs they had will be squeezed from the previous 3 DL spots down to the 2 in the new scheme. It will be interesting to see how they plan to do this.

Schemes can be made to fit personal, so I don't see the Bears creating more holes on the roster if necessary. Eberflus/Williams have two of the best pass rushers in this era, they will figure something out to get the most out of them. That is where Goldman might make a better 3T because he is larger. He used to force double teams back in the day because he was a force. If they resign Nichols, he is Harris/Tank sized. The Bears will definaletly need to invest in ILBs right away and a SS. To transform the D completely, it will take at least two off seasons.

Great to see Aaron Donald win the SB. That is who I hoped the Bears would've drafted but instead we settled for Fuller. Then there is Leonard Floyd, great to see him flourish also. We traded up for him so we didn't get Aaron Donalded again but we couldn't get Floyd to succeed.

It is tough to spend on certain positions like RB. To do so, that player better be a game changer. If Monty wants to stay after this season and gives a deal 8-9mil, then maybe.

Wouldn't it be something to sign O Brown and Jensen. Oline is locked for a few years. Draft you can find WR, S, ILB to fill out the roster

And I don't think he won't look WR or another position before but those are the list of supply/demand in his eyes. KC took a RB in the first which in Jason's list is a huge no-no. If KC had to do it over again, I bet they don't take him again.

Poles value chart. 1.QB, 2.OTs, 3. Pass Rush 4. CBs 5. LBs, 6. FS. Tells you how he might view the draft and FA. Bears may look OT and CB with 2nd and 3rd if they don't see a OLT on the roster.

I love reading the profiles while shopping. Really like this draft with a few trade downs. Your Picks: Round 2 Pick 12 (CLE): Phidarian Mathis, DT, Alabama (A) can play 3T in 4-3, 6T in 3-4. Round 3 Pick 11 (DEN): Christian Harris, ILB/OLB, Alabama (A+) Mike in 4-3. Round 3 Pick 14 (CLE): Jalen Tolbert, WR, South Alabama (A+) size, speed, hands, routes... grades out high in all. Round 4 Pick 15 (N.O.): Brandon Joseph, FS/SS, Northwestern (A+) big, physical, can play either S position. Round 5 Pick 5: Darrian Beavers, ILB/OLB, Cincinnati (A+) will play SLB in 4-3, OLB in 3-4 Round 5 Pick 7: Zion Nelson, OT, Miami (A+)- LT at Miami, could compete with Jenkins/Borum Round 5 Pick 18 (N.O.): Cole Strange, OG, Chattanooga (A+) solid RT prospect Round 6 Pick 7: Zander Horvath, FB/RB, Purdue (A)- Mike Alstott 2.0. Would go higher if he didn't break fibula. He is the Derrik Henry or AJ Dillion big RB. Bears re-tool the D. Get starting 3T, two starting LBs, starting SS. On offense, they get pieces that could contribute right away at WR and RB and competition to eventually take OLT, RG. They will need to drop some money on offense in FA. Why not get a WR? They have been paying top coin to Arob, why not give that to Adam's?

I think we all feel refreshed like this after every new regime starts lol. The good part is the Defense should be a smooth transition with all of Fluses Indy personal on the staff. Offense will take some time and be a mystery. It is in Gets hands.

I don't think we will see too much cutting or trading. It just don't happen often in a tight cap structure. The NFL is also set up to reward teams to have players finish out contracts and reward comp picks when they move on. So if the Bears cut a bunch of their top players, a team like GB/NE can sign them, not lose draft compensation, and improve their team. Mack may take a pay cut to win a championship. If there are any, it may be to a guy like Jackson who has under performed. I think the cuts/trades will be minimal. The Bears have some talent the coaches need to tap into and design schemes to fit their strengths.

Would love to see D Adam's, no chance. DJ Chark, intrigued but it looks like he is not going anywhere. My number 3 is: Will Fuller - brings a deep threat that Fields would fall in love with if he can stay healthy. My Notre Dame bias doesn't help.

Good to see Lovie back I hope we didn't lose out on Marineli to Lovie.

It was from the blog posted earlier. Where they supposedly heard what Poles said in his interview. Which I doubt anyone heard https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/ryan-poles-won-over-bears-with-brutal-honesty-on-current-roster/

I haven't payed attention to the damning measurable, other than we drafted a 1st rd talent at OT. Thanks Mongo lol. Poles said he liked Jenkins, so I feel alright for now. He doesn't like Borum according to the podcast.

Retooling will take a few years. Poles and Flus will have to work with some pieces they have and make the most out of the draft. I traded down a couple times to try and fill holes. Your Picks: Round 2 Pick 12 (CLE): Christian Harris, ILB/OLB, Alabama (B+) - meet the future Urlacher. Harris is a natural in coverage and starts at MLB. Round 3 Pick 7: Jordan Battle, FS/SS, Alabama (A+) versatile Battle takes over at SS and sparks a resurgence in Eddie Jackson. Round 3 Pick 17 (NYG): Jalen Tolbert, WR, South Alabama (A+) - 6-3 190 the do-all Receiver without the big school hype. Round 5 Pick 5: Cade Mays, OG, Tennessee (A+) Big Nasty RG. Round 5 Pick 11 (PHI): Tariq Woolen, CB, UTSA (A+) small school CB that is climbing boards. Round 6 Pick 7: Clint Ratkovich, RB, Northern Illinois (A+) RB/FB/HB/TE - FB that can be used other than blocking Round 6 Pick 29 (PHI): Reggie Roberson Jr., WR, SMU (A+) - speed threat to stretch field.
