Anything goes in the draft. I didn't realize until a few days ago that we added 8 players from last year's draft were visits. Just saying odds are some of our draft picks will be on that list. Poles keeps information tight, he's not even letting visit information out .

They only get 30 visits so I think it just shows interest in a player. They also met players at pro days, all star games also. Here's a podcast with Greg Gabriel that explains the process at this time of year. https://www.youtube.com/live/xa0I_fmIS_0?si=w8WmEBxHjsutmsUr

It's just another tool to look at for analyzing a player. Production, improving every year, football IQ, work ethic, love of football, character all come into play. I remember we drafted a DE from Penn State in the first round that was a monster but wasn't in love with football. He failed because of a lack of focus. He told you in the interview but they still took him. It was just a well paid job for him. It matters.

I think who they are looking at tells you what round they're planning to draft a position.

I looked up Dennis Allen's DL from 2023, 6-4 287--6 324--6-4 315--6-5 261 We already have similar players in place. 6-6 272, 6-6 275, 6-1 304, 6-1 311, 6-6 310. Counted both Jarrett and Billings. This is Billings last year and Jarrett has age. Totally expect a DT in the first 3 picks. Pierce is rated the 2 nd best edge by many and the second round will have several choices but not sure how they rate them. Allen runs an aggressive blitzing D . I hate to say it but that may make Walker in play at 10. Who's our 3rd lber?

I listen every week and if the blue players are gone figure out what 3 they're capable of getting. The blue players they would take if there. Carter-Graham Warren -Jeanty . Don't think any will be. Many pundits say 9-50 similar in value so then who? That's the magic question.

I like Meatheads too and was afraid Ben Johnson was to much a nerd type but he has proven to be a red ass. I think Johnson didn't like the Jobs that were open and thought they get to a SB which would have looked good on a resume. So now he chose Caleb to live with and it's history now.

Totally agree, he had a soft spot for Flus because they started together but better people in place now , he can let everything evolve. I think Warren interfiled in talking to Harbaugh last year. Don't know if we would have hired him but obviously with Johnson's contract, money wasn't a problem.

The draft is only a few weeks away. That's when posts get serious.

I like hype videos, it's gets me excited for football. Poles has made mistakes but I think for him he's learning on the job because he never did this before. His first year, people were complaining he didn't have enough weapons for Justin which caused him to reach for Velous Jones and went after Claypool. I think he's starting to get it right.

I'm on his X account and someone mentioned this, his response was ( 310 and lean) . I use to jump on a story without back checking it and have posted bad information on here before. Now I try to get verification first.

It's hard to have a stable OL we one player is constantly in and out of the lineup. It wasn't just missing a few games but in the middle of a game he would come out. It would be nice as a backup but I suspect we want a couple rookies to develop behind our starters.

I use to follow him for the same reason, lots of interesting things he put out. Then I realized he had bad sources or was making stuff up. I don't follow him anymore.

It's not about you but taking a snipe at Eric Lambert, he always puts crap out there and you follow him.

He weights 310 with less body fat. People think that pic was photo shopped. Sources matter, I'm on his X account. A note: Jarrett, Sweat, Booker, Dexter have been working out together in Florida and a draftee Tyler Baron has been working out with them. Wonder if that will be a sign of him being a future Bear? 6'5"-259-4.62 speed. 6 sacks last year.

He has to prove he can stay healthy for a season, 3 years of not hurts your money. That's the reason he's not back here.

Seem to be keeping things quiet. Aaron lemmings always does a running list of visits. This year he has 8 visits so far and only Jeanty would be a first round pick. Conerly and Dylan Fairchild are the only OL so far. The WRs are Isaiah Bond and Jaylin Lane 4.35 and 4.34 speed. Brashard Smith/ RB has 4.39 speed. Johnson is looking to add more speed. I looked up last year's 30 visit list and we drafted 4 off that list and brought in 4 as UDFAs. So the 30 visit list will hint at who they like. Last year we drafted 5 players and 4 were on that list. I'll keep you updated on visits. Does anyone have a better source than lemmings?

Bear pundits must not have much to write about, Bryan Perez reported that the Jets are willing to trade Breeze Hall. He thinks we should trade for him because he's good. The best year for RBs in ages We are already missing picks 4 and 6 He's in a contract year What a stupid idea.

You just go out of your way to start arguments. You say I only have other people's opinions( I respond )and you twist it into my opinion is King and everybody else sucks. Im done addressing stupid crap that comes out of your mouth. We ain't talking Banks at 10, DEAL WITH IT You're next response will be I'm sick of this or that you perpetuate to try to argue. I will respond to legitimate sports topics but done with your inflated ego.

kenan Allen hasn't gotten a job yet , could he come back here? 1 year 8 million?

I think in the early rounds, 1 OL, 1 or 2 DL and a RB. In what ever order he feels good with. He may address S, WR, LB, TE but we have quality starters there for now. The biggest question is how do the new coaches evaluate our roster? We don't know.

Actually we both want the same thing, a quality LT. We have two players there right now that have questions. This is not a good year for LTs and I don't think Poles will reach for a player at 10. Banks might be the best tackle this year but he does not fit what Poles likes. I don't see him reaching for something, he doesn't look at it as having no one to play LT. I think he wants someone to slot behind Kiran because if Braxton doesn't get better, he ain't paying him 20 mil a year, he will move on to Kiran and the next guy.

I only have other people's opinions? I do exactly what you do, look at tape, read opinions, look at articles and then form an opinion. I doubt I would have got a degree in college if I was not able to do critical thinking. I'm retired and bored, I absolutely know that I have put tons of hours more time in to forming my opinion than you have yours . On here we've talked about other players and you would give an opinion and qualify it by saying, I haven't watched any tape yet. Be honest, how much time have you watched tape on Banks? I have watched many highlights and 7 games he played in. That absolutely doesn't qualify me for anything more than to have an opinion. I don't claim to have special talent watching tape , if I did I would have got a job as a scout. The only reason I went to college was to get a teaching degree and start a coaching career that I wanted to do because you have to start somewhere.( High school coach) Then my dad offered me a business at 23 I couldn't pass up.

Moving Wright has been suggested before but this should be his statement year ( that he is very good) and with 4 starters in place, I don't think they want to have 2 spots with questions. Poles has 2 drafted players at LT and IMO will draft a other to compete their in the 2nd or 3rd round. These are the OTs with arms over 34" in the draft Cameron Williams Charles Grant Emery Jones Hollis Pierce ( 36) Brandon Crenshaw Dickerson Teams will play someone with less than ideal arm length but they would have to be needy. We are not needy we have 2 on the team right now. I can see us drafting a Charlie Grant or Hollis Pierce in the second or third round over a less than standard prospect at 10. They are keeping the 30 visits quiet but that may have some clues who they like.

I did say none of this matters because IMO, we're not taking an OL at 10. If you addressed that somewhere in your rant, I missed it. In the beginning of the off-season I wanted an OL and then we picked up our IOL Things change as we acquire assets as we move along. I still wanted a OL at 10 until AZ54 gave his opinion about why he doesn't think we will. I changed my mind after that.
