adam Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 It feels like Poles likes certain position groups at a specific height range and weight range. Will he make contract decisions based of those numbers? Is he picking players based on physical characteristics? Here is a look at the roster from a height/weight perspective: The odd players in the position groups for height are: QB - Walker under 6'2" (5'11") RB - Herbert under 5'10" (5'9") WR - all 5'10" or above TE - all 6'4" or above OL - all 6'2" or above DL - Billings under 6'3" (6'1") LB - all 6'0" or above DB - all 5'11" or above The odd players in the position groups for weight are: QB - all over 210 lbs RB - all over 200 lbs WR - Mooney under 180 lbs (173 lbs) TE - Tonyan under 240 lbs (200 lbs) OL - all over 300 lbs DL - Robinson under 260 lbs (253 lbs) LB - all over 220 lbs DB - all over 180 lbs Skinniest players on the team? Darnell Mooney - 5'11" 173 lbs, Josh Blackwell/Greg Stroman 5'11" 180 lbs Lightest players on the team? Darnell Mooney - 173 lbs, Josh Blackwell/Greg Stroman/Nsimba Webster 180 lbs Shortest players on the team? Cairo Santos - 5'8", Khalil Herbert - 5'9", Travis Homer - 5'10" Biggest/Thickest players on the team? Donovan Jeter - 6'3" 325 lbs, Larry Borom - 6'5" 333 lbs Heaviest players on the team? Darnell Wright - 335 lbs, Larry Borom - 333 lbs Tallest players on the team? Kellen Diesch - 6'7", Cole Kmet, Darnell Wright, Teven Jenkins, Gervon Dexter - 6'6" TE Room - no TE smaller than 6'4", Tonyan is 40 lbs lighter than the next TE and lighter than 3 WRs (Moore, Claypool, St. Brown) OL Room - Diesch is 6'7" 300 lbs compared to Borom at 6'5" 333 lbs, Wright weighs 335. WR Room - 2 WRs are taller than 6'1", St. Brown at 6'5" and Claypool at 6'4". Claypool and Jake Tonges are basically the same size. Claypool weighs more than every Bears RB (even Blasingame the FB lol) RB Room - Biggest RBs 6'0", Foreman is the heaviest at 235 lbs. DL Room - Billings is the shortest at 6'1", no other DL is less than 6'3". The two lightest DLs: Gipson 263 lbs and Robinson at 253 lbs LB Room - Very consistent group, Edmunds is 6'5" 250, Terrell Lewis is 6'5" 262 DB Room - Very consistent group The players that stood out the most from their position groups: 1. Tonyan, no player had a bigger height or weight disparity than Tonyan, 20% lighter than the average of the other TEs. 2. Walker, 3" smaller than the next QB 3. Billings, 2" smaller than the next DL 4. Mooney, 7 lbs lighter than the next WR, 16.5% lighter than the remaining projected rostered WRs average weight 5. Robinson, 10 lbs lighter than the next DL (Gipson), 7.7% lighter than the remaining Edge players average weight A lot of data, but it is clear that Poles is shaping each position group and outside of Tonyan, no player is more than 20% outside of their normal height and weight, which is actually quite impressive. Mooney actually scares me because he comes in as the skinniest player on the team. We will see if Poles has concerns about any of the players when contract extensions come up. Kmet and Johnson look like contract extension locks based on production and size. I wonder if Claypool will get some time at TE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 I've got Tonyan listed at 237. Also, I'm not concerned about Mooney's size either. He's been durable so far, as he has not had any little guy injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Poles likes length and athleticism . Everything doesn't fit exactly in his box, but everyone he drafted has a good RAS score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just using the official website: https://www.chicagobears.com/team/players-roster/robert-tonyan/ Probably 240. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, with Tonyan a typo on the Bears site, everything is pretty much in a box and every position group is really tight in regards to height and weight, especially the minimums.
