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.

If you follow him, he has had different players thru out the off-season as our pick . Look at the dates when you offer something up for information. The one I found was from about 3 weeks ago. Order THE BEAST and see where his final projection is on his Big Board I not wasting my money for sake of argument. When you start doing player evaluations for lots of money let me know so I can then list you with the experts AND I will still disagree if you have the same opinion.

I just used him as an example, and I don't subscribe to the Athletic anymore, the last one I saw was from 3 weeks ago. It's not him against you it's people that do this for a living against a fan's opinion. Of course you have been right before that doesn't verify you as some kind an expert. Some people rate him high and some don't. I already said none of this matters,but we ain't taking him at 10 . I don't agree with anybody that says we are , let alone any OL. Get sick of what ever you want but because you think you are smarter than , everyone else means nothing to me. We are nor comparing degrees, awards, just opinions. For some reason, other people on here say the same thing as I do and you say, I understand your opinion but you constantly push back on my opinion because you don't like me. I just don't have your ego, after the draft, if we take Banks, I'll be a fan and you can gloat how smart you are. If we don't take him , I'm not going to gloat ( see I was right) because it's just opinions. I DON'T CARE

The website you listed lists 1160 mock drafts to do their consensus. Yes lots of legitimate sites are included. Also ( PlayerProfiler) (Predominantly Orange) (DraftPlex) (Daft on Draft), , my hand would be sore listing all that isn't legimate outlets. You are correct in saying I listen to people I trust to be legimate that help form my opinion, and you just gave me a list of other opinions that say Banks is top 13. Isn't that's using other opinions to make your point? I've watched tape of Banks games (7) also. We could watch the exact same play and I could say he didn't handle that well and you tell me he did a good job. It's subjective. Obviously pancake plays, sacks and penalties are obvious. I am going to agree with you for sake of argument and say Banks is the best LT in the draft and it wouldn't matter. The bears aren't drafting a OL at pick 10, that's my main point. Poles values Kiran and Braxton more than you do and he gets to do the picking.. There really isn't any point on arguing draft rankings anymore. It doesn't matter. You may be right about Banks but I trust Dane Bruglers opinion more than your film watching ability . He has spent hours on every player, seen them play before. I have no idea of the kinda time you have watched Banks play football.

Good tape. Another player I have watched that's looked good is Kyle Williams 4.40 speed. https://youtu.be/H9i-9ykjWG4?si=uiaBv_fswy8kmpt2

I wouldn't like Walker either but people are saying Allen would love for his speed and rush ability. I have no idea. I'm good with Warren, Jeanty, Kenneth Grant, James Pierce, Nolen and even Matt Golden if Johnson thinks he's a valuable weapon. They are a few I don't want, otherwise I'm not complaining. I just want 4 good football players that elevate the team.

In not using what you showed me but the experts I trust. Your mock list has lots of people that are just football fans, no serious analyzers that takes hundreds of hours of research as to watching 3 games and becoming an expert. I agree if they took him at 10 that's not a reach. I'm not sure what you do for a living but you will understand this. You are a record executive and 1000 people come in saying they are great singers. The reality is you may have 15-25 that are good. I'm not counting someone like me that creates a website (Thailand Bear's fan) and puts out a mock draft because I think I am smart. The top predictors in the business never get it right let alone people that claim to be smart because they are a football fan. With all of this said, our greatest debate doesn't fall on where we list a players value, I don't think the bears are taking a OL at 10, is that what you believe? That's the key to what I'm saying.

That's a very realistic draft and would love that Draft. I would prefer Junkins to Henderson but that's my brain interfering. I have seen several people say Grant is Akim Hicks, I would love that pick at 10

I totally get it, I think when I originally said he was around pick 15-25 that was accurate. If the bears think he is a future LT 10 is not to early. Rating him as 7 th pick in the draft is a stretch so says Draft Buzz. When you latch on to a player, your history is always putting favorable posts out there to support that player. There is also a lot of favorable content because lots of people share your belief. In this draft there is a general consensus who the best players are Hunter, Carter, Graham, Walker, Jeanty, Warren and some think Ward is. Banks is in the next tier with 25 other players. I don't think he is bad and would have no problem if we took him. I just don't think the bears are at 10, if we drop down and he is there at 20(?) grab him. I don't think they are taking a OL until the second round. I don't pretend to be any kind of draft guru, I would be happy with 10 different players at 10. I trust Poles to take the right person. I have liked every one he has taken in the first round since he got here. It's later picks he has botched. I think 2 players not mentioned a lot that could end up picked at 10. Matt Golden WR ( weapon) , Or Jacob Walker/ LB . Johnson and Allen love speed. I'm not routing for this but could be a surprise on draft Day.

This is interesting, Allen was going to draft Brisker at pick 49 when he was HC at NO.
