Seems like they’re definitely drafting d, no?

I don't think he will be there at their pick. They better not trade up in the 1st for a RB.

lions got shit on hard for taking gibbs early.... but i'd say that's a win thus far for them... so if the kid is a top 5 RB instantly then i'm ok with it..... seems easy enough

This probably won’t play if you don’t have teenage kids, but Jeanty reminds me of the kid from victorious on Nickelodeon who played the piano. Would not draft.

If he is there with their pick then that is fine. But I want nothing to do with trading up. I would still prefer they address the lines with the 1st pick. But just do not trade up.

The guy they had on said everything after the top two picks is a crapshoot (meaning up through 40 is similar quality). So I agree. Keep your top three picks and get three solid players.

I'd be very open to a trade down. I'm not sure which player piques another team's interest to the point of trading up. Jeanty certainly is that type of talent.

Any interest in perpetually injured Joey Bosa?

The veteran guards make it more acceptable to have a rookie at center. I'd really love for them to be in a position to draft Gray Zabel out of south dakota st in the second round.

The Lions roster and team were in a far more advanced state than the Bears to draft a RB like Gibbs. Bears have way too many holes to fill to be recklessly trading picks to move up or to sign a running back.

Unless he’s willing to play for minimum wage.. nope. Would rather spend the money on a younger player like Josh Sweat or hell an older player who at least has been healthy the last few seasons and produced like Mack.



Bosa will collect checks from injured reserve for whoever he plays for next.

Not a bad plan but I’d rather try and sign a young proven NFL player like Dalman.. if that ship sails then yeah look at guys like Zabel in the draft. He shouldn’t be plan A tho.

After the third round, it's all low-grade, Central Wisconsin dairy queens. Moooo!

Reading that Johnson wants physical players that are sound fundamentally, this is diametrically opposite of the Ryan Poles approach to roster construction which is to reach for athletic guys that are limited fundamentally and then hire piss poor coaches to coach them up.

The early moves indicate that Johnson is basically telling Poles exactly what to do and Poles is following his orders. The draft will of course be the real indicator, but early moves are encouraging.

Nearly everyone other than some of the posters here could see that the Bears were outmatched on the interior in every game they played last season, getting the guard and center positions just up to replacement level will make the offense better and will allow you to get a true grade on Caleb early this season.

There is still a ton of dead weight guys that Poles drafted/signed they need to move away from, Edmunds is too big a cap hit, but they would likely love to get rid of Borom, Bates, Kmet, Stevenson, Pickens, Robinson, and Amegadjie.

Fat girls need loving too.

Good to see that the administration at Shady Acres has given you back internet access Grandpa Claw! Remember the Nurses don't want to see your weiner!

Go get Trey Hendrickson if it only means sending a 3rd. Send a 2nd, who cares. He's always healthy and consistent.

They’ve gotta stop trading away picks. It always looks so bad in retrospect, especially the ones they’ve dealt in the top three rounds.

The one they gave away for Montez Sweat, who is just barely in the picture merely one year after they paid the shit out of him, turned into Cooper DeJean. Sam LaPorta went two picks after the pick they gave away for Chase Claypool.

It’s just gotta stop. They are killing the team with these bad trades. I’m with the Joe Thuney move, I’m much less fine with the Jonah Jackson move (but the Thuney move makes it look a bit better), but it has to stop now.

I agree. Poles isn’t a pro scout; if he’s incapable of identifying guys in the draft, fire him or get new college scouts in the room.

A 2nd for a guy on the wrong side of 30 is such a Poles move

They “what could’ve been” for the Bears is brutal. Every single pick and trade the last five years is wrong, often spectacularly so. Caleb Williams over Jayden Daniels, Montez Sweat over Cooper DeJean, Darnell Wright over Jalen Carter, Rome Odunze over Brocks Bowers/Jared Verse, Justin Fields over Chris Olave AND Christian Darrisaw? Which is worst here? For a normal team Chase Claypool over Sam LaPorta would be a painful blunder, for the Bears I’m not sure its even one of the top five worst moves they’ve made since the Fields trade.

You would think by accident they would get just one of these moves right. Nope, they just get a big fat F on literally everything they’ve done.

Wrong side of 30? He's played in every game the last two seasons and has recorded 17.5 sacks each year. He's not a running back. He's a pass rusher. Go ahead and draft a bum in the 2nd or 3rd instead of obtaining a sure thing.

How bad would USA be ripping Poles if he drafted white lightning Cooper De Jean and his 0 interceptions this year?

Yeah the Eagles are feeling horrible about the pick.

Didn’t he have one in the Super Bowl?
