Stinger226 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I would have no problem with any blue chip player we get at 9. Since we don't have control over the picks in front of us, having Rome be the pick is premature but glad to see Caleb taking an interest in who we might get. Watched a Greg Gabriel barroom video and he said he hasn't talked to Poles but two GMs from other teams that said the Bears are looking to trade back. That's a logical choice being we only have 4 picks. Of course that may depend on who's on the board. We don't know of any details so probably doesn't matter.

lemonej Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 12 hours ago, adam said: What they do at 9 is dependent on pretty much every pick from 2-8. It would be amazing if ATL got docked their 1st rounder for tampering with Cousins, which could move the Bears to #8. No team would benefit more from an ATL docked pick than the Bears. 9 to 8 would be the biggest draft value bump (equivalent of a late 4th rounder). I'll say from 4/5 to 8. There is not going to be any punishment levied this close to the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonej Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 My no trade Mock: 1. Caleb Williams USC QB - Both sides seemed to be locked in so much so that Caleb is on X saying he is a big fan of Rome Odunze 9. Rome Odunze Washington WR- This is the presumptive first pick's public choice but, if the top edge rusher is on the board , I'm grinding my teeth. 75. Bralen Trice Washington Edge- I like how tis player played in the CFP semifinal game against Texas putting pressure on the QB and setting the edge against the run. In the championship game it looked like Michigan schemed to minimize his production. 122. Sedrick Van Pran OC Georgia- with the moves that the Bears made in the offseason , the center position is still a mystery. So this is a pick that is insurance and long term continuity . So far Doug Kramer has not panned out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ54 Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 A week or two ago I asked why Poles hasn't declared Caleb will be the first pick in the draft? This is now the worst kept secret in the NFL especialy after watching his pre-draft press conference when he was talking about Caleb in glowing terms. After reflecting on that a bit I now believe he's just doing this to give that moment to Caleb. Caleb has been very clear this has been one of his goals for a long time. IMO that's a class move by Poles not to steal the spotlight and that moment from him by making the announcement early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the NFL prefers teams to wait - even though technically the Bears could announce they are selecting him and actually sign him to a contract before the draft.

Just knowing he is the pick takes a little of the excitement out of the draft, but then we have pick 9 and the not knowing which redeems the anticipation that you had as a child on Christmas morning. 24 hours and the excitement begins 🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted April 25 Author Report Share Posted April 25 Someone brought up a good point, the Bears don't want to announce anything or sign him (technically they could sign him to his contract before the draft) because what if he gets in a bad car accident or something legal comes up that would make the Bears pass on him. So it makes sense to wait until the actual draft to make the selection. About 9 hours to go...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 I am still stuck between Fashanu and Odunze at #9. I truly dont know which is better - they're both great and each would help a lot. I will be happy of both are available ay #9 and Poles gets his choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fashanu is starting LT caliber there is no contest you take him. From some of the film I’ve seen I have my doubts about his movement skills but he’s also really young. Poles will also likely have given him the same workout treatment he gave to Darnell Wright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few draft profilers have said they seen him playing RT , forgot the reasoning involved with that, but if you have any question on where he plays, don't take him.
