If we had to go in to the season with what we had, we could get by with a better pass rush. The new LBers are good in coverage that will help the back 4. Rock Ya Sin is still out there. I think maybe get that done. Then a draft pick.

My opinion, if they take him that means the interview went well, if not they won't pick him. I trust them to figure it out. Definitely not taking him if head ain't on straight. We trade the first pick and then get the best player in the draft. That would be the luck Poles seems to have now.

lets accept the fact they are not done growing the roster yet. If this was August, I'd agree with you but its 2 weeks into free agency. I expect 2 vets and 2 or 3 rookies. Then we can make an honest review. Billings will be starting NT, the other two are rotational guys of which Flus does anyway. He needs 8 DL, we have 4 if you count Robinson and Gipson as 1. He needs 4 . How about a Frank Clark and Poona Ford , would that change your mind?

If Jalen Carter drops, they're taking him. The best talent in the draft. The interview will sort of the mental aspect of the prospect but don't think that will be a problem. He'll I'll be happy with anyone on that list.

I'm wrong all the time anyway so why stop now. I don't think they're drafting JMS, or Luke Wypler because of where they have to draft them. JMS- 46, Wypler-64. Whitehair, Patrick, or Doug Kramer are already available here. It will be more like a O!u Oluwatimi or a Ricky Stromberg that you can get in the 4th or 5th round.Not sure if Kramer can play but Poles drafted him for a reason.

People question how Poles is rebuilding the roster but he's been honest about. Not going to over pay for mediocre talent. He may have overpaid for Edmunds but he fits his player mold. He's 25, A physical ,beast been productive. If you're going give a lot of money to a player, it fit that type of signing. As far as RT, he will Bring in a vet on a cheap deal while he develops a rookie. Outlier could be Jenkins going there and bring in Dalton Risner to play LG. As far as DL he will Bring in a a couple more vets and draft at least 2 more in the draft. Lots of older edge players left unsigned, Bud Dupree, Frank Clark, Leonard Floyd, Robert Quinn, Yannick Ngakoue, Clowney, Dawuane Smoot, Markus Golden, Melvin Ingram, Mario Addison, Justin Houston, Rasheen Green.

I agree, Poles listed as one of his premium positions as CB. It prevents Johnson from using his play as leverage in negotiating a new contract. At least one in the top 4 picks may be a CB.

We just have to wait until he's done with roster building. It will fall into place.

He went after McG and Dremont Jones but wouldn't get in a bidding war for them. He has set values for players and avoids over paying them. We haven't seen his backup plan yet. It's still early. Its looks like Le'rel Collins is going to become available. Maybe a choice?

I think Poles knew we couldn't let another year go by without getting Justin help. Added 2 quality WRs by trades. He needed to do that. Taking a WR in the draft has a growth period he wasn't willing to wait for. Has 2 TEs, 3 WRs, and possibly a better running game to go with. He added one quality OG with the plan to move Whitehair all along. Having 4 spots figured out. The outlier was McG at RT but the price was to high. I think this week he signs another OL , someone like a Cameron Fleming. Then draft a OT. Also could grab another OG and move Jenkins to RT. He has options.

Good to go until covid, took a year off, Then just came back for a paycheck. It happens. Why you up so late? I'm 12 ahead of you, it's day time to me.

I think any of the top 3 OL prospects will come in and produce. Skon, Johnson, or Jones. I think their moving back from 9. The top OL , CB, or WR will be on the board and someone will want one. Also Levis may still be on the board. Jets, Green Bay, Wash, NE, TB all could want something. If we move back in the teens, Broderick Jones and Lukas Van Ness come into play. Could get a second or 3 rd to add to the mix. Remember the name Jake Andrews/OC from Troy. He has traits and could be added late rounds at center. We have met with him twice.

I hope this opens, It's an article by Greg Gabriel about scheme fits. https://twitter.com/WCGridiron/status/1638208960623697921?s=19

If he drops no way the bears pass on him. With everything going right for Poles right now, we may end up with him.

True

If he lacks the intangibles, Poles ain't picking him at 9 whether there or not.

The incident wears heavy on him with losing his friends. He wasn't responsible but he was there, traumatic experience for a young kid . The interview is the key. I think it's very possible, he will be there. How lucky will Poles be to get the # 1 player in he draft after trading back.

His 7 players are: Anderson Carter Wilson Murphy Biden Robinson Peter Skoronski Either Devin Weatherspoon or Paris Johnson Jr tweet

They will be drafted. Realistically the first 4 should starters or big contributors.

Did anyone hear about Poles signing an edge? A guy on Twitter posted ( way to go Poles, 8.5 mil for .05 sacks). I never seen the guy post bad information before.

I can see him giving Mooney an extension. A lot of WRs this free agency getting 11 mil a year, be a cheap get for Mooney going forward on an off year. 1 mi!pl

Yes and yes. Him and Jenkins on the Right side gives you a nasty disposition. I've been watching a lot of tape on Donte Foreman and he is a good RB. Don't count him out as our leading rusher next year.

Hard to judge rookies on first year production. Some do well most don't. I think his second year will bring praise. Including STs , if he gets 6-8 touches a game and has one chunk play a game. D's have to pay attention to him because of his speed. No GM hits on all of their draft picks, but if this is a miss, he made a wow choice with Braxton Jones. That's what everyone will remember. This draft brings us 4 starters , considering a rotational DL is practically a starter when they get 40% of snaps. He drafted Doug Kramer last year. He didn't do that as a filler pick, he wanted him. His draft profile states nasty attitude, football intelligence, above average athleticism, moves well in 2nd tier blocking. His biggest slam is upper body strength of which an elaborate off-season program can fix. He won't start this year but don't count him out going forward. In college he only gave up 3 sacks in 28 games, 9 pressures, and 2 QB hits. He could end up being a better Sam Mustifer story.

I think they take the best DL available, Wilson, Murphy, Bresee, or maybe Van Ness. Poles thinks he's a OL expert. He found Jones in the fifth, so he's going to find a plum between 54-65. That area will find you choices of Cody Mauch, Mathew Bergeron, Jaelyn Duncan, or Wayan Morris. I don't know who is better but Poles does. I seen mentioned that Duncan and Morris fits the system.The only wildcard will be picking the top CB in the draft at 9.
