45 minutes ago45 min comment_236265 INCREDIBLY STUPID. there is no possible way any 29 year old DT is worth anywhere close to what we paid. 2 firsts relates to a good/great starting QB in his prime or a DE future hall of fame player in his prime.this screws us in so many ways in our future it's mindboggling. ryan poles has done NOTHING but hurt this franchise. he can't draft. look at the busts or average players we have picked in the 1st-3rd round. his free agent acquisitions on defense are dismal at the VERY best. we are paying for injured average players. on offense he has brought in three good offensive linemen and one that wanted to retire and did after one season. one is at or past retirement age also in thuney. and now this...ryan poles needs to be FIRED. this is no knee jerk statement, this guy is killing this franchise.

It would take a year or more for those draft picks to even come close to producing at half his level. Still waiting on Odunze and heck Loveland has flashed but not there yet Report

Our firsts are going to be late picks, closer to giving away two 2nds than two #1’s. We need to grab Mack or someone similar for help at edge and this D is good enough to get us to the Superbowl with this offense. Report

So the Bears ultimately traded Pick#10 for Simmons. Report
