If you keep track of what both Mooney and Fields have said about this coaching without directly referring to the previous staff, you can tell something was amiss. The part that keeps me scratching my head is, this team trade a lot of draft capital to move up and draft Fields and he gets no reps with the 1s during TC, if I were a GM that made that sacrifice and realized that was happening, Nagy would have been in my office and issued an ultimatum. That's why Pace got fired because didn't assert his will on Fox or Nagy when he spent valuable draft capital on 2 1st round QBs. Instead he let both coaches say Mike Glennon and Andy Dalton 2 castoffs from other teams should start ahead of the rookies. Neither rookie QB was protected by the guy that drafted them.

Arizona hasn't replaced Chandler Jones. I think that could be a possible trade partner.

Pennel actually spent time on injured reserve during TC IIRC and then got released.

I didn't like him trashing the Bears for not giving him an offer. He doesn't fit this scheme

Duane Brown should be the target.

I'm going with Kmet. Looking at the team Luke Getsy came from the TE had a significant role in the offense

The previous GM might have stood by the signing! I like what Poles did.

I'm going with a real surprise DE Charles Snowden who spent the entire season on the practice squad but, was heralded as a premium UDFA

I'm so into embracing the negative national press about the bears because, I remember in 2019 the same media projected the Bears as a Super Bowl contender! I wonder how many of these experts had the Bengals reaching the Super Bowl.

Tonga at under tackle is a wildcard also.

AZ you're right. Robinson is getting some hype while in shorts and coach speak is the key to keep a hungry rookie grinding.

You have a top RB list without Jonathan Taylor?

One option not discussed is trading for players with existing and expiring contracts that the cap space will be needed for. There may be some Colts' defensive players available next year that may be enticing to this defensive staff next year and maybe in a couple of days when the June 1st cuts hit. The Colts also are change DCs so there may be some scheme casualties from them as well. Chris Ballard is a savvy GM that doesn't tip his hand early. I truly believe we may see quite a few transactions by the GM during this upcoming period.

I remember the buzz about the UDFA signing of Charles Snowden and like Trevis Gipson he was a DE also that the previous regime thought was a LB! I'm thinking that this is another sleeper in the mist.

I watch Good Morning Football, Get Up and First Take every morning and I have not seen this story mention period! So, I'll wait but, Roquaun since drafted has exhibited a different approach to life. I don't know if everyone remembers about the stories about Roquan and the adult films star and the pictures that surfaced. I'm not as sold on Roquan as most Bear fans because of his injury history and size.

AZ please don't get me started on Lynch, he gets way too much credit for fleecing Pace for that one trade but, he is just like Elway when it comes to looking for QBs, he's never satisfied. Jimmy G although oft-injured has been decent for them and has gotten them to the SB and a play away this year from returning this year. John Lynch is the most overrated GM in the league IMO.

Two players who were rookie last year who I think could step up are Dazz Newsome who looked good on special teams as a returner and a gunner who didn't get much chance on offense. The other is Thomas Graham Jr. I felt once he got playing time he looked much better than Vildor and I think he is a great scheme fit for this defense.

I always have started to wait to post about any subject involving, the Bears on this board and other sites like Sports Mockery but, with this GM parlaying 6 into 11, after watching Mister Trade up create our current buzz, I'm intrigued to see what happens especially with the schedule being released the most important thought is, " Do We Have A Franchise QB?.

Thinking that Poles has some knowledge of this player since he was a KC player that he was in the room evaluating.

Without starting a big debate but, this draft may have yielded 3 starters next year with kick returner and punter included with what plays out in training camp. A lot of these players are developmental and point to this HC saying he loves the teaching aspect of the game.

Because I feel this is unchartered territory for me as a fan because, this team has never torn it down like this in my fan lifetime since '66. The only time we had a rebuild was during the tenure of GM Jim Finks and he wasn't under the same scrutiny as Poles is now. I'm not predicting any wins or who will make the roster right now because of how accurate I'm not mocking players to the Bears.

I consider Gordon and Brisker potential starters and if on opening day when the Bears receive their first kickoff, I expect Jones or Ebner to be on the receiving end mwking one or the other technically a starter. All the rest of our 8 other picks, I consider developmental or catching lightning in a bottle. Similar to my mindset about UDFAs.

I got 1 but, not at the right slot in this mock.

This gave you Braxton Jones

This got you one right!
