I don’t mind the signing, I just speak fluent enough Bears-ese to know Ryan Poles is going to use it as cover to take a running back or receiver with their first round pick.

Not really. Jarrett is immediately their best DT. That actually is shaping into a decent group with Jarrett, Bilings and Dexter. Gervon won't be finding playing time on early downs if he doesn't become better against the run.

Dayo doesn't stop them from drafting a DE early. Give me lots of pass rushers.

Very grim considering the Bears were on the clock in 2023 with Jalen Carter on the board and traded down.

the Ben Johnson effect is very real and wonderful to see. Very refreshing to have Poles basically function as a sock puppet for his coordinators.

The Bears need interior linemen on defense more than anything. While tended to like their defense last season. They were incredibly weak against the run. Particularly so whenever they happened to face teams with power running games.

It's pretty ironic that Poles gets Johnson the high quality 3T that Evberflus begged him for from the day he began coaching the Bears.

well yeah, Poles is a bad GM and Eberflus an even worse coach.

Yep, but here we are.

I guess they now can't put Fields in when Caywleb goes down in the first game due to chipped fingernails.

The entire league is taking its time with the interior offensive lineman in free agency. I don't think a single OG signed. I expect that there will be deals.

This leads me to wonder if Jackson was better than what's available on the market? I think you can make that argument. Was he more expensive? It seems like that is proving to be true, but he is here on a one year deal for all practical purposes, which you probably couldn't have done in FA.

I really do wonder whether Poles would have made that move if Thuney were available at the time he made the decision on Jackson. He obviously didn't love the OG in FA at the prices that were being considered. Those prices have yet to be realized.

When they were 9th best in points allowed your clown ass still believed that they were one of the worst defenses in the league . Stick to carrying the golf clubs of other posters.

Overpaying for Jarrett because we swung and missed on Dexter. The Poles way

Packers signed a guard today, 4 year deal. Reported to be the best guard on the market.

Only drafted Dexter and Zzzzaaaaacchhhhhh Pickens because they were too cowardly to draft the Hall of Famer who was right there for taking.

Should have just drafted one. No need to spend money on one.

I am sure they will, they understand you can’t have too many good ones.

Well, the OG are starting to move and their price is comparable if not higher than Jackson's and much higher than Dalman's.

I agree with your first sentence. Your second point is ridiculous. This is what happens when you think about football 365 days a year. Just relax. No one around the league has given up on #18. Give the guy 35 starts to figure out if he's the guy or not. No one knows. And don't pretend you do.

The Bear ended up with better guards than both the packers and the Vikings.

For less money.

Will be an interesting call at #10, they would love to have Will Campbell there, and there is a gaping hole at LT, but he is likely gone, do you go with Banks or Simmons, trade back, or just take best d lineman available?

Does seem they will draft a back in the 2nd or 3rd round, doubt Omarion Hampton will still be there, so you are looking at Henderson, Judkins, or Johnson as possibilities. Jurko brought up the big kid from Texas (Alfred Collins) as a possibility in the second round, that would fit the type of big physical lineman they want, thought it was an interesting name.

I don't GAF about the Packers signing a G. 2025 Bears Offseason Moves

Man imagine if you had Cooper DeJean & Sam LaPorta instead of Montez Sweat & Chase Claypool? And then took Jared Verse instead of scrub nobody Rome Odunze?

Be a no-brainer to move up and take Will Campbell there. But no, now they are so fucked they have to just pray they nail these second rounders even though Ryan Poles fucking blows at finding talent in the draft.

I’d still like to see best D-linemen/Edge available.


I actually don’t think Jeanty will get to 10 (Raiders might take him). My dark horse pick for the Bears is Will Johnson (CB out of Michigan) if he’s there.


As for O-linemen I think Donovan Jackson from OSU might be the best overall in this class. There are issues with Campbell/Simmons/Banks none of them even project to the position they played in college at the next level.

It’s not my job. Ryan Poles makes however many millions of dollars, he shouldn’t just make the wrong decision every single fucking time.
