Caleb is going to go around and play up to any team he thinks might draft him. Lots of things that might have been rumors really doesn't matter but a few things are simply fact. Him not doing medical at the combine is not a rumor. His dad being quoted he thinks the limited rookie pay scale is unfair. Him not getting an agent. Him being born and playing in DC, former home. Grew up a Redskins fan. Him not throwing at the combine. If you look at Commanders media, he spoke differently about Washington than things he said to other teams. He loves Kingsbury. He gives the overall impression, he wants to be treated differently and that brings red flags. Even though there's a rookie contract structure, he will be one of the last to sign in the league because he thinks he has more worth than anyone else.

I should have drafted 2 WRs but got excited when i seen Braden Fisk name that late. A 4.78 40 time.

If we trade the first few picks and Justin, then Poles drafts a Nix or McCarthy that probably wouldn't start his first year could Bagent get us thru a development period? Just a hypothesis.

The link didn't pop, check your source.

It's not going to be about his talent, I think he could be special but he seems to want to be treated special ( or am least his dad does) . That will just be an ongoing issue thru the process and and he gets drafted. Not what a first pick in draft should be. No medical at the combine will turn some teams off, maybe Poles to.

Just read he's not doing the medicals at the combine. Not throwing either? This kind of stuff is a red flag for using the # 1 pick on the guy.

We have a # 1, we just need to add talent in the WR room. If we go with Williams, then he'll trade out of 9 , he's getting extra picks somewhere. If Field's gets traded, it will be for a second, doubt their getting a one.

Also heard a local Atlanta writer stated that the Falcons are going to try to sign Cousins.

Heard where Williams isn't doing the medical review at the combine. No agent?, no medical? Is he throwing at the combine? Are these things any red flags for anyone?

This fits every need with top prospects.

I heard the offer proposed was to flip 8-9 and a second, not a 8 by itself. It's not an extra one, just higher pick.

At the beginning of the year, JJ was a good CB but didn't have the TOs , probably talked to him but JJ was willing to bet on himself and staring getting the TOs. Now he's getting more money. I would say Poles is probably slightly less than the top paid CB. He always has the tag to use, he's not going anywhere.

Would love that to happen but probably not realistic.

Not all scouts are good at their job, Ourlads are former scouts that run a evaluation service that 16 teams use during their process. Their top 32 always look different that most so called experts. They always are pretty accurate with the top 32 players, not as for as which team takes them but who is .

If he makes the right decision this year, he's going to be here for a very long time. He could set the team up for several years to come. Classy, down to earth and Smart.

I agree with that. How he manages trades come into play whether first pick or trading Justin. I think the high picks all go into offense this year. He's added a lot of money and picks on the D side. I think this draft concentrates on more balance with spending.

That's a good video, I didn't think he defined anything we don't already know. He doesn't think Justin is great and needs work. It comes down to evaluating the rookies and comparing them to how much better he thinks Justin can get. If it was Justin vs Williams having such a high ceiling, Justin loses that battle but draft picks are involved with keeping Justin. They are part of the equation. I think if someone offers a first round pick for Justin, it's a no brainer. Or 2 seconds. Probably gone.

Those are opinions. Two ways to look at the future, what I want to happen and what I think the Bears will do. Those aren't always the same. I wish i had control of actual reality because I view things with a positive outcome and want the Bears to succeed no matter who the QB is, who the coach is. I never care about if I was right or wrong, it's about Poles getting it right . I've been a fan since Butkus put his jersey on, and that's years of losing. I want some more wins in my future.

First of all , I'm not speaking to you or anyone on this site. I listen to the SCORE and numbous podcasts all day and am referring to the general tone that most media take on the Fields situation. For some reason you think everything I say refers to you. Anything you post on here that has over 50 words in it, i never read of yours anyway. The sooner you realize I care less what you think the better this site will be.

Listen to a ESPN podcast with Brandon Thorn, an OL guru was talking about centers and rated 3 as first game starters. jPJ, Zack Frazier, and Greg Barton. I don't think we are in the position to draft JPJ but Zack Frazier is a 4 time state heavyweight wrestling champion. A lot of the best OL players over the years were former wrestlers. The skills that brings are excellent for the trenches. Frazier should go second to third round range, that's doable for us.

Explain how Flus and Poles totally supported Fields before ( that didn't mean anything) , now that they discussed the possibility of the other options ( he's gone). It's funny how people try to read into each word like it's gold star statement. Until he vents these rookie QBs , he hasn't made a decision yet. There's no logic to assuming anything right now.

Heard Greg Gabriel spoke to a credible source ( not his opinion) that stated the Bears are leaning towards trading the first pick and Justin Fields. With this fandom war over Justin and Caleb over the last few months and then they go after a different QB would be iconic. Maye, Daniels, JJ McCarthy or who? The only other QB that I see as possible is Penix. Has some good traits but not sure about his injury concerns.

Many ways to go, trading the first pick and still grabbing a QB is high up there. If he rates QB 1a,1b,1c, they may be close enough in value to be willing to take any of the 3. Daniels is the fastest of the top QBs, and Poles likes speed. He could trade twice and still get one of the top 3. Is 4 or 5 more blue chip worth taking your 1c QB? Maybe. I trust Poles to make the right choice.

When the character issue is so important , until they have that with Caleb, he hasn't made any decisions. After the combine, we will have a better impression on the direction he's headed.

If you keep getting future picks you can keep the cycle going. When contracts are due you sign the most important FAs and trade or let them walk and you get compensation picks. NE did that forever and they someone there to take his place. That is the importance of future picks.
