Scott played several positions but most list at CB. I'm curious if Bann drops if any interested in him? Never really looked at him because he is generally a top 5 pick. It's hard to read Poles, he could surprise everyone and take a player constantly being projected to us, Peter Woods.

When I analyze a prospect, I look at highlight film and 2 to 3 games. I read at as many profiles as I can find and form an opinion. I think but I don't know who will be great, good, or a bust. I will trust the bears scouting department. As far as Mc-Warren, the best I can tell is he is a Brisker clone. If they wanted that type of player, I think they would have resigned Brisker. Thieneman is the ideal pick and can play NB, SS and FS with speed of which I think DA wants. Mc-Warren doesn't have the flexibility or speed. There are a few other that fit that criteria, Keionte Scott, Treydan Stukes and Jalon Kilgore. None of them are first round picks. If they do Mc-Warren then they think he is draftable at 25 and I'm wrong. I think they drop back in the second round and first pick will be a DE . As far as the first round, does anyone think they would draft Messidor? His is 25 but he will add to the pass rush right away.

We only have one year of the combo Poles -BJ draft expertise but the first year was a win win success. I still think other draftees could be solid contribters going forward. Not all rookies develop at the same timeline. I think King got promoted because of his input into the draft system. It will remain to be seen what effect Ian leaving has on the process. I think AZ had the best take on Gabriel, a part of the old boys network that is not aging well. I personally like him because we have talked on X DM with him and he's a down to earth say it like it is person. Of course he's not always right but I like the history he had with the bears and loyalty to the team being a born and bread Buffalo guy.

Actually Turner and Newman were reported on Reddit to have visits. I not trying to die on the hill that Greg is always right, I have a tendency to trust pundits that still have ties to the NFL. If he gets bad information of course he probably shouldn't reported it. No one hits every take.

I never researched it and it doesn't really matter to me anyways but Greg still has friends working in the NFL and player agents contacts. That's more input than most bears pundits.

This the way I look at it. They brought in DTs, LBers, LTs and one starting Safety. Also added a WR with Walker expected to contribute. No DE. They have to find a starting S , otherwise we have players everywhere else. I think they bring a S maybe two, a DE and DT. Could be any other positions applying the BPA theory. My preference, trade back from 25 5 to 10 spots and get an extra top 100 pick. In any order they have their board laid out. Jacas , Parker , Young, D- Sutton , Lawrence, Moore. DE Stukes , Kilgore, Ramsey, Bud Clark. Payne S Miller, Halton, Benny, Proctor, Capehart DT Parker, Slaughter, Jones, Hecht, Kuhn C Tienen, Shelton, Bowery JC Davis LT Hill, Trotter, Louis, Perkins, Boettcher, Rolder LB Tacario Davis, Muhammad, Neal, Demming CB These are players that could fit our scheme. IMO

For last year it was stated by a few pundits that everyone we drafted, we had a visit with. If true some were not reported and keep quiet, maybe by design. The OL coach stated in an interview that some prospects were brought in because they had questions. The answer could be not to draft them. They can have local and regional players in and not have to report. Some prospects that come in could be told not to mention. When they draft then we can follow up to see if came in for a visit. Poles is good at keeping secrets. That's why I never believe anyone has inside information. I think people just guessing.

He will surprise me if he takes a CB or LB at 25. I would expect S, DE, DT and even LT. We could upgrade any position but QB and IOL with the first pick but some spots carry more expectations. As long as we add a DT, DE and S , adding anything else is okay with me.

If they draft a Urlacker type LB, I m all in but who is that? Edwards will probably be gone after this year but Demarco Jackson is probably his replacement to go with Bush. Every year we should draft every position but we don't have enough picks for that. I think 1 DE, 1 DT , 1 S, 1 CB, 1 WR, 1 RB, and a C . If we get extra picks, then a LB will be addressed but I don't think it will be a priority in this draft. Hyppolite is counted on to improve, if not then we draft another one.

Their are several available and most are third round and latter. He doesn't have to start right away, so they will decide the upside. I like the 2 tackles that will project to center. Kuhn and Parker, bigger bodies. It could be a 7th round James Brockermeyer.

This is usually the busiest time of the year on this site. This year is a little different because we finally won. Rumors do get morbid but draft time always attracts my attention.

This draft will be graded by what rookies made first year contributions, not 3 years from now. The first 3 picks have to contribute. A safety will start, A DE will be rotational anyways. Same for DT. A LT will probably need to develop, a center will be a future starter. Unless Edwards isn't healthy, a LB wouldn't be a starter right away. A high CB pick would be the 4th or 5th CB to start. WR would be the 6 th pass catcher, RB third on the depth chart. Because we didn't get the comp pick, 75% chance we move back instead of forward. Last year there were 3 trades between 25 and 32. Many teams always want to get there guy and reach late in the first round.

Bradbury didn't have a penalty or give up a sack last year. To many people gage players by PFF ratings. By next year, no one will notice Dalman was gone.

I watch a lot of podcasts, bears related, and it bugs me with all these pundits that think they're experts on draft prospects. How much actual time do they put in evaluating prospects? I think they read a lot of other people's information and then they watch 4 or 5 games? Hundreds of prospects they can't have the time to do that. People like Dane Brugler actually has a network and puts in the time so I trust his opinion more. I don't agree with everything and he's not always accurate but has more input to make better evaluations. I'll watch 2 or 3 games and highlights films but no way I think I'm smarter than the people that put in the time. Also a lot of people use PFF for much of their view. PFF has some input but you just can't use that for perspective. It's funny to me that Dane rates a player at 49 and then some pundits think they are 25 valued. Some may very well put in the time but it's hard to figure out who is guessing and who actually does it. I keep everyone's opinions at bay but trust a few over most other people. I think the bears are more in on some of their own players than most of the fandom. Example, they will count on Turner much more than fans that write him off because he was injured. So when I evaluate I figure what they have and who they might pick.

This rumor is false, we did not contact the Giants. It was started by a Packers fan trolling the fandom. Lots brought in to it.
