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!

This thread says it all about our ability to figure out what this GM is doing. We are questioning his FA approach and now all his picks. There was a graphic that said we haven't won a playoff game since 2010 scrolled on the screen during the draft. Our mocks except for Dawhizz have been totally off what has happened.

The reason I'm confused about the selections is because I haven't been able to monitor a GM that stuck to his board. The last 3 GMs Angelo, Emery and Pace were not this measured and I was on my keyboard voicing my opinion. This is new for us and maybe this GM was trying to light a fire under the remaining players on the roster by calling out specifically the O-linemen. Watching the play of the secondary last year on game 1 against the Rams and no one taps the WR while he is on the ground is all that I needed to see to realize we needed an upgrade in the secondary. I'm going to sit back and watch the process because this is a refreshing break from the normal Bears draft activity.

In the season opener if the Bears receive the kickoff and Velus Jones Jr is back to return it that could technically be your 3rd starter.

8 players are available on Day2 that I would consider at both the Bears picks and with the QBs still on the board trade possibilities also exist to gain draft capitol. Kyler Gordon Nakobe Dean Andrew Booth Roger McCreary Bernhard Raimann Jalen Pitre Christian Watson Perrion Winfrey

Pix we go way back and I'm still employed and can see the light at the end of the tunnel and its not a train approaching fast.

Quinn going bye will take 3 picks coming to the Bears and 1 going to the aqcuiring team to eat his salary. Kansas City should be on the phone and Quinn who doesn't want to leave, might change his mindset if he is going to a contending team. He being moved as well as David Montgomery that rumors are surfacing that he may also be a trade chip.

Whatever pick you give up for him, he becomes that pick.

I annually take draft weekend off and this year I'm here again ! I'm going to couch gate on Day 1 ( Ox Tail Stew) Kentucky Bourbon, Miller High Life and rubbing my dogs belly for good luck. The most important thing is checking in with you guys tomorrow! I love this site and you people that post here!

I like the way you did this!

My Draft Day Last Swing. 39 Bernhard Raimann OT Central Michigan 48 Perrion Winfrey DT Oklahoma 71 George Pickens WR Georgia 148 Tariq Castro-Fields CB Penn State 150 Romeo Dobbs Nevada 186 Damone Clark ILB LSU

I hear you but, watching tape and listening to him during an interview on GMFB and I'm convince if he is at one of the second round picks ,Poles may go for him.

One last try before the draft. 39. Christian Watson WR North Dakota State I may be dreaming that he is available here. 48. Perrion Winfrey DT3T Oklahoma I believe that the DT rotation is incomplete unless they expect Edwards Jr to move inside 71. Abraham Lucas OT Washington State We must keep adding bodies to the OT position 148. Velus Jones Jr. WR Tennessee The Bears need more weapons at WR 150. Demarri Mathis CB Pittsburgh A little late for a need but with this new scheme of Cover 2 he is a good fit 186. Leon Neal Jr S Texas A&M Depth pick at the Safety position

What team is that ? He was let go by Seattle after his injury and the image of him flipping off someone is what I remember and he went through free agency IIRC

My first Mock had us taking: Now I'm thinking: 39. Perrion Winfrey DT Oklahoma Tyler Smith OT Tulsa watched him on tape and think he has the nasty Poles is looking for. 48. Christian Watson WR North Dakota State Christian Watson North Dakota State I still like his upside 71.George Pickens WR Georgia George Pickens WR Georgia I think he will be fully recovered from his injury 148. Thayer Mumford OG Ohio State Thayer Mumford OG Ohio State we currently have Sam Mustipher lined up at ROG 150. Matt Hankins CB Iowa Matt Hankins CB Iowa Would loved to have picked a CB earlier but, I still like this choice here. 186. Rasheed Walker OT Penn State Rasheed Walker OT Penn State A staple of this franchise has been a late round OT pick. I'm lacking a 3 tech in this mock and I'm still believing they are looking to add some one.

When Vic Fangio was named to John Fox's staff, I wondered what was coming. Now with Eberflus coaching the Cover 2 defense, I have the same questions! Who on this roster fits this scheme? Our new GM has made it clear that he is going to build this team in step with his coach. I love this and I'm willing to wait on the results

I'm taking a swing at this with my 1.0 Mock No Trades 39. Perrion Winfrey DT Oklahoma I believe he will be the best value at that pick and he fits the 3 technique role 48 Christian Watson WR North Dakota State because its my 1.0 this may be a dream scenario but as a WR with size and speed he checks all the boxes as a good weapon for Fields 71 George Pickens WR Georgia His size makes him a replacement for A-Rob 148 Thayer Munford OG Ohio State One OG position is in question and developing is this team's new calling card 150 Matt Hankins CB Iowa Reverting back to a Cover 2 makes Hankins a good fir 186 Rasheed Walker OT Penn State No matter who the GM has been, taking a developmental OT has bee the norm with this franchise This is my first mock and I may have 1 more in me. Last year I had the Bears taking Tevin Jenkins at 20.

They weren't better on the field last season.

Jacksonville seems too obvious with him reuniting with Pederson to mentor Lawrence. Since The Raiders were in on Semien maybe Foles could be a possible target for them. With a 2- year contract Foles has to be on the move
