THE BEAST of an off-season

[Stinger226]

We need to look at the overall off-season to see what Poles has accomplished this year.

Got the best coach on the market and spent good money on assistants. 

Added to both lines with quality additions. Added contracts for Gordon and Jackson who were on last years. 

The draft gave us 4 quality players in the first 4 picks. 2 potential all pro types and 2 first year contributors. 

The rest of the draft gave us high risk high upside players.

Dane Brugler has the most complete draft guide on the market. Well respected in football circles.

We ended up with 4 top 100 prospects. Loveland -11, Burden-27, Turner -56, Trapilo -79 

He had mentions of all our draft picks on his draft guide. I thought they were obscure but people were aware of them.

 Hiopolote 35th LB 

Zak Frasier 23rd CB 

Newman 22nd OG 

Monangai 20th RB.

I think this were high ceiling high risk type picks. 

It's going to be 2 years before we can start rating this draft.

Lots of people saying Monangai is a dark horse good RB that fits what the bears are looking for. 

We have a front row seat to a winning season whether fans think it still has problems or not. The off-season is not over yet, now rumors of Nick Chubb. It never stops.

Enjoy the ride.

I agree.  Still can't approve of using our 4th round pick the way we did, though.

I didn't like who or when either. We just don't know if they screwed up or not. I do like the 1st 4 picks and Monongai. As contributors early in the year.
