Poles was asked today about the 2- 3rds that the Bears were supposed to get for losing Ian Cunningham.  He has been in talks with the NFL about it.  If the Bears do not get them, I feel they need to put that rule to rest if the league is going to bend qualifications.  They must fear the Bears will be a dynasty and that is not written in their script. 

Cunningham even said today that his understanding is that the Bears deserve the picks.

From past history, Poles lets no information escape Halas Hall.

I think when asked about DJ staying, his tone seemed to change that tells me if someone makes a good offer he would take that. I think it all comes down to value.

Poles has prices set on his team.  When Jaylon wanted his extension he also demanded a trade. Poles said it would take 2 firsts if JJ can find a team willing to pay.  

I dont think DJ Moore will cost a ton, I figure what a #2 WR or 1B would cost. Pickens cost a 3rd and 5th the following year.  Keenan Allen was our 4th that current year.

Something else from that presser, Poles said that EDGE is deeper than DT in this draft, while we've been hearing opposite from experts.  Kinda sounds like price negotiations...

They rarely tip their hand, but he did mention making hard decisions. To me that is moving on from guys under contract, not about UFAs. So that was a signal that Edmunds and Moore are gone, one way or another.

No he was pretty clear about looking at options for DJ.  No need to tip toe around it just leave it out there and make the market as big as possible.

Question...does anyone know what happened to www.sticktothemodel.com draft simulator?   I cant find it anymore.

Disregard...went to X and found a link.  My browser must be hiding it.

Here goes my day before FA mock draft.

I did not make any trades, but bet Poles makes 1 to recoup a 5th rounder.

1- Kayden McDonald 1T Ohio St- we would be lucky if he is available at 25. He would anchor the 1T and be a major boost for the run D.

2a. AJ Haulcy S LSU- he is a risk with his attitude, but is a ball hawk and tackling machine.  4.52 isn't the fastest, but has strong production at every level hes played. Replaces Brisker 

2b. Romello Heights DE Texas Tech- has elite speed from the edge on passing situations and gives strong effort every down. 

3. Jake Slaughter C Florida debated taking Austin Barber,  FL left tackle or Slaughter. This is a developmental prospect that has the tools to be a great C and with Bradberry being a short term plug, the Bears go for a longterm homerun. 

4. Zane Durant 3T Penn St- smaller with elite lateral movement that can attack the gap. Played against elite big 10 talent and produced. 

7a. Eli Heidenrech WR Navy-a hybrid RB/WR that is a dual threat that BJ can be creative with.  

7b. Max Bredeson FB/TE Michigan - another hybrid, H-back from Michigan that is better known for his blocking. BJ can move him from FB to TE to confuse defenses.

A lot of good names but Romello doesn't fit DAs size for DE. At 60 there should have been a better scheme fit. 

We never know how the bear's draft board aligns with the consensus, but at BPA, AJ could get taken there.

In that simulator can you do trades? PFSN allows you to do that. I expect Poles to trade a couple of times during the draft. History tells us that.

Here's a draft that I traded back twice and took BPA until the last few rounds according to their rankings.

Romello would be a situational pass rusher, not an everydown DE to start his career.  Hes about 10lb lighter than Austin Booker or even Micah Parsons.  The Bears have Sweat, Dayo, and Turner for size and might look for more speed from the edge.

You could make trades, I opted not to do any and mentioned that.

Not sure they are going to use pick 60 on a situational player that may never be more than that. Great off the ball but the draft profiles said he can't get off blocks. Booker is 6' 5 " and close to 260 lbs now . Romello don't have the frame to add weight, 250 would probably be the best he can do.. He will be 25 by training camp and has 32 1/4 "  arms. Booker has 33 3/4 arms. Booker was projected as a situational player that may never be full time. Not sure they want 2 of those.

He could be outstanding but more as a 3-4 fit. Most project to early 2nd round .
