Since losing is an advantage to us now, going forward, Poles gets to evaluate the rest of the roster as people get hurt. That is not a bad thing. Hopefully Mooney and EJ are short term injuries. I would still like to see us beat the packers next week even thou that hurts our slot.

EJ gets paid 35 mil for the next two yrs at current age of 29. He is earning his money this yr but didnt the last two yrs. So they can make a judgement call next yr and if they post June cut him, its a 4 dead money hit. Just have to go yr to yr with him.

The difference is Philly has the best record in the league. Winning games always adds to the narrative.

If we can get Seattle and Detroit to get into a bidding war, we could get both first rounders and a third plus a 2nd next yr. Rams are pretty bad thou and Denver looks bad. So they may not fall enough back to make a big splash.

It would be Bear like to go out and win this game with all that is happening to it right now.

Yes with all of that, you need 3_to 4 blue chip players. You might get lucky and find one later in the draft but you can get one or two if you trade back and still stay in the top 10.

There both blue chip players. When picking a player that high, they have to be pro bowlers. I see Carter doing that, but not sure about Anderson. I think he is a OLB in a 3-4 scheme. I think Myles Murphy may be a better fit. I also like Bresee as a 3 T. Maybe a WR rises to tip 5 status, I can see us doing that as a option. I would say Carter is the guy.

The key, is how far we move down, I think Bresee goes in the top 10. If we stay in the top 5 we could get a huge take for a QB, but we need to stay in the top 15.

I agree that Payne and Will Anderson would be the best case scenario going forward we could hope for. Payne and Carter would be excellent to, but not sure that scenario works out.

Fields is a tough guy but its a painful injury when your body takes shots. I think he starts and comes out early. I'm always thinking winning is important for the culture of the team, but if Siemien wins this game for us , it doesn't put us in a good spot in the draft. That would be very Bear like.

I'm good with anything that would upgrade the front 7 . I'm not sure Poles will invest that much money in the DT position. More like one FA and one draft pick. Jenkins is getting a lot of flack over being hurt but would play in an emergency. Lots of players fall in that scenario. Its how journalists are wording it. I think him and Jones are starters for next year with the rest of the group having new starters. I think they draft a WR , hopefully he becomes a #1. Don't know much about Claypool but if he wants a big contract, he will have to focus next year to do it.

Our example in the league for 2 quality DTs is Jonathan Allen and Deron Payne combined stats: 13 sacks--25 TFL--29 QB hits--36 pressures , I didnt look at every team but I think that is the best DT combo. DeForest Buckner 5.5 sacks--4 TFL-15 QB hits--19 pressures Deron Payne 6.5 sacks--11 TFL-- 15 QB hits--17 pressures Deron is 25, I think he would be better to sign him than DeForest Buckner 28

I think if they sign Buckner, I doubt they would use the first round pick on a DT. I would still do it if Carter is there. If Carter is gone, that means Will Anderson would be there.

Pass rushers: on the roster for next year. Al-Q Muhammad , a rotational piece that will be back unless we can upgrade. Dominique Robinson, a rookie with upside. Travis Gipson is signed for next year but I doubt they bring him back unless he starts adding some stats. In FAgency : There are quite a few names, not sure how many are impact players thou. (28 or younger) Yannick Ngakoue 6.5 sacks Lorenzo Carter 3.5 sacks Samson Ebukam 3.5 sacks DuWanye Smoot 5.0 Sacks Draft: Will Anderson/Ala Myles Murphy/ Cle Tyree Wilson/ Texas Tech Isiah Foskey/ND Andre Carter/Army Jared Verse/Flor St Zack Harrison/ Ohio St I think they both draft one high and add one in FA. The jury is still out on Taco Charleston and Gerri Green. Sammis Reyes is a project.

I would say Jack Sanborn changed their thoughts going forward. He turns out to be good.

Patrick has never proven his worth, it would be a 1.3 mil cap hit for him to walk away. Poles will do that if he finds a better option. Or keep him as a backup. If they draft an OC that may be the case. Ratkovich would be a nice addition, he would bring more than blocking.

He has a stage 1 separation and he could injury it more by playing that could put him in a position to need surgery. I think they dont let him play until after the break 14th week. Boomer Esiason had the same injury and said it was very painful as he played thru it. He said it took two weeks to heal. So rest him and get back with it in the last 4 games. As much as we have been condemning the D , it actually has played better the last two weeks. Jets O with White at QB should not be overwhelming for our D. Another low scoring close game. 17-13 Jets.

Actually his last two yrs (23-24) would be 40 mil left on the books. (according to OTC). Arguably he is in his prime yrs. If Poles thinks the next two yrs are our shot at the playoffs with Fields cheap contract, I can see him do that. I think a shot at a difference maker that would have an inexpensive contact for the next five yrs is more what he will be looking for. If he is going to spend 20 on a DT, he has options in FA. DeRon Payne (26) if not tagged you could get for that . A Will Anderson and Payne on the same line would be a huge upgrade. A lot of holes to fill, it will be interesting how he will play a low pick. He may like a player better later in the draft that may prompt him to trade back and get more capital.

If we trade back , I dont think we should drop out of the top 10. The only teams needing QBs behind us that has 2 first round picks is Seattle and Detroit. Does Seattle draft a QB ? I dont know . Would you take Indy's first pick (14 right now) and Deforest Buckner ? 28 with 55 mil left on contract over the next 3 yrs. I would say no.

I think it comes down to if he can play with the injury or not. If Fields thinks he can play, he's going to want to play. As they make it more clear on the injury, they will make a decision. Actually I would like to see Siemian play in a more passing focused game. We will be able to judge the talent in the OL and WR room . It may not be a good outcome, but maybe Claypool gets 5 or 6 catches. More throws to the RB, see a little more open game.

I agree with all those statements. He is considered an elite player by NFL community, but It doesn't show up every week. People are talking about the great Jets D, we don't seem to allow the great players to go off on us, mainly that's because of Justin. So who you picking between the two?

If we remain at 3 and the first 2 picks are QBs, who do you choose between Anderson or Carter? If Anderson turns out to be Parsons like or Carter turns out to be Johnathan Allen? Considering the 3T is so important in this D, Jalen Carter, Although Parsons is the most dynamic player in the league.

I think the problem with any WR, TE, RB in the passing game is we just dont throw enough. Fields looks for Mooney first, then look at his throwing sequence a couple for everybody. Our OL just isnt good enough to sustain a consistent passing game. We scored 24 points, 5 game average 26 points a game. I think that is pretty good. Other than 2 games we have been in every game. Between mistakes and bad ref calls, we could have a winning record right now. That puts us on the rise as a rebuilding team.

I think it will be treated like any other injuries. They seem to always be cautious. I think they have enough input to know what they need to do, build better around him.

If our second string include B. Jones, Patrick, Borom, that would be a strong unit.
