Honest question here. It just seems like he is getting the smartest guy in the room syndrome, and that effectively killed Pace after the Trubisky and Shaheen picks. It felt like every pick other than Burden was overdrafted, while other teams got great value. Coming into the draft with 3 picks in the top 41, I am just not feeling it this year. I hope I am wrong. Then you add the trades with BUF that lost value and the only saving grace is getting a 4th next year from LAR. Anyone else feeling like this? 1st and 2nd rounders have to be starters. The Bears had 4 of those picks and got a TE2, WR3, OT3, and DT4, no starters unless Trapilo somehow beats out Braxton.

Practice Squad fodder until he is 30. He will be competing for a roster spot, has speed, but will be 25 this season.

At this point, I don't know if it even matters. Older prospect who will be 25 in October, he is a year younger than Jaylon Johnson.

All of these guys are available for Poles, don't overthink this. 4th Round Grades Martinez, RB Reed, S Frazier, OG 4th-5th Round Grades Neal, RB Pegues, DT Mickens, S

2 to go, looking good. 4th Round Grades Martinez, RB Reed, S Frazier, OG 4th-5th Round Grades Neal, RB Pegues, DT Mickens, S Bears please pick one of these guys. Poles, don't become Pace and think you are the smartest guy in the room.

3 picks to go, all 6 of these guys still on the board. If they want a RB or S, they can get one here. 4th Round Grades Martinez, RB Reed, S Frazier, OG 4th-5th Round Grades Neal, RB Pegues, DT Mickens, S

4 picks to go, the highest available players: 4th Round Grades Martinez, RB Reed, S Frazier, OG 4th-5th Round Grades Neal, RB Pegues, DT Mickens, S

5 picks to go, the highest available players: 4th Round Grades Martinez, RB Reed, S Frazier, OG 4th-5th Round Grades Neal, RB Pegues, DT Mickens, S

7 to go. Still available: Martinez, Neal, and Smith at RB Mickens and Reed at S Frazier and Huber at OG Pegues at DT

14 picks to go. Still available: Martinez, Neal, and Smith at RB Mickens and Reed at S Frazier and Huber at OG Pegues at DT I would be happy with any of these 8 guys this late in the 5th.

The Bears had traded their own 2026 4th away for Thuney, so the Rams trade gets a 4th back.

Exactly, they basically got a 6th for free, which evens them up with the losses of the BUF trades.

Best available: MBow, G Pegues, DT Reed, S Croskey-Merritt, RB Paul, LB

So now they have 169 from BUF coming up, got a 6th back at 195, and still have 233 in the 7th. The 4th in 2026 is huge, middle of the round is pick 116-118 depending on 3rd round comp picks, so that trade made up for the loss in value with the BUF trades.

Now that is what I am talking about, they gave up Pick 148, and got 195 AND a 2026 4th rounder.

Yeah, they must be happy at RB and Safety, which is surprising considering the lack of depth at both positions.

Sure, most of these guys picked after the 3rd will amount to nothing but rarely do you see a team trade down, lose draft capital in the process, then draft a guy they could've gotten later, which dilutes the draft capital even more. A 5'`11" LB in coverage will be comical.

There is no way this guy is not available in the 7th. So many more accomplished players at need positions on the board and they go with this guy?

He was a UDFA, I have not seen a mock have him in any round. Why would they use a 4th round pick on him when they have a 5th and a 7th left. I am not liking this one at all.

Ruben Hyppolite II, LB at 132. Who? I am so confused, this guy was a UDFA, why is Poles selecting him in the 4th round?

Who?

Swinson, Mbow, Farmer or Martinez?

Sampson gone to CLE at 126. 5 picks to go: RB - Neal, Giddens, Martinez IOL - Mbow (74), Frazier DT - Farmer (76), Pegues Edge - Swinson (75), Ingram-Dawkins LB - Paul CB - Riley (74), Frazier S - Reed

Yeah, a few of them should be there if they want one.

Word out of interviews was he was one of the worst, if not the worst they have ever witnessed, all the while he was dictating what the clubs would do for him. Basically a double negative for a guy that was pampered by his dad for his entire college career.
