"Isn't this what we need for this 2025 NFL draft?" Poles was quoted as saying tonight before drafting a Tight End and then a Wide Receiver.

oh that's right, it's 2026 and we did this last year. it's de' ja' vu all over again. why not keep drafting the same positions over and over and over and over for the rest of our lives?

1. poles gives a contract to a center who wants to retire (and he talks him out of it?) and 'surprise' he retires after ONE season. then drafts a center, that was a third round projected pick, in the 2nd round. all this after trading our f'king 5th round pick to the Pat's for this wonderful center a month ago. if this is even close to being sane, please explain it to me without mentioning how we needed to bring in a veteran center as a sure thing before the draft so we didn't draft for need.

2. a f&$#!ng 3rd string TE in the freaking third round?? i don't care how good this guy is projected. that's not even a luxury, that is stupidity. how many TE's do we really need? this off season we signed TE Qadir Ismail to a reserve/futures contract and we signed TEs Stephen Carlson and Nikola Kalinic to our roster. there are a hundred blocking TE's we could pick up after june 1st.

3. we sign a WR/kick return free agent from the lions. then we take our third round pick we traded our other 2nd round pick for to draft a WR kick return man. but, oh yea, we got an extra f&$@!%^& 5th round pick for trading down. makes complete sense to me after someone jabbed me in the jugular vein with a syringe full of scopolomine and LSD.

what is our top priority this season? any guesses? DEFENSE!!

oh that's right, we drafted a defensive tackle last year who was freaking INJURED. a good safety this year who FELL INTO OUR LAPS and was a NO BRAINER pick. that should turn our 24th ranked defense completely around. yes-sir-reeebob we are there now!! who the hell needs defensive linemen or linebackers when we have a plethora of third string tight ends and receivers?

third day picks anyone? maybe a right tackle? or a guard? how about another quarterback or a punter just to round off a draft of stupidity.

anyone guess at how we are going to keep this many same position players on our roster after the final cut? do we cut the recent veterans we signed or just the new draft picks? after all we can draft those same positions again next year.

and yet again (year after year) i can truthfully say.... why in the H E L L is this guy still our pretend GM? there is nothing this guy does that makes any sense. his judgment in the draft and free agency is beyond mind boggling. but then again, who just gave this idiot an extension? one guess only.

Dont disagree with anything you say but throw in , last years draft looked bad. After the season finished we had won the division, a playoff game and a 12 win season. Condemn Poles for lots of things, but he is right on schedule for why he got hired. He said it would take 5 years of which is this year and be consistent winners. So far so good.

we didn't win because of poles. we won because we drafted a no brainer QB who the world told poles to draft. we won because we hired a competent coach for the first time maybe in its entire history to run this idiotic franchise because other people SAID he was the best out there.

we had ONE offensive linemen he bothered to draft in wright and nobody else. NO defensive linemen he bothered to draft and filled ONE side of the ball with competent FREE AGENTS to appease the NEW coach we hired. nearly every defensive sided free agent was a joke that ate up our cap number.

his 5 year plan may have taken a competent GM 3 years to fulfill?

The Bears lost way too much draft capital in this draft. From my count, they lost a round with Jones, lost a half a round with the trade back, another round selecting Roush, and then at least 2 more rounds with Thomas. That is 4.5 rounds in lost draft capital. That is not nothing.

In 2 years, if Jones is the only starter out of Jones, Roush, and Thomas, it will be a bad draft.

Plus you traded a 5th round pick for Bradberry only to draft a 25 year old you hope replaces him sooner than later in the 2nd, and move a 6th back to a 7th for that DE that hardly played.
