Bears 2024 4.0

^^^ that's an interesting way to decide.






Starting to think they may not move back @ all with statements like this

But I'd love to move down and add Verse + Thomas Jr.

No mention of the TE room in this article

I'll always love you Brock

I don’t think they are moving back out of the blue chips range, put it that way. If you’re not expecting to be drafting in the top 10 for a long time, take your last swing at the top rated tier

I agree. I'm happy to hear this! It would seem logical to prioritize LT and Edge given the Allen pick-up, but I think the actual excerise will be ranking actual guys and not just the positional needs, and I'm sure Poles is anal enough to mock out trade down scenarios.

About all this tells me is the Bears do have at least one edge, one LT and one WR rated as a blue chip prospects. Gotta figure all three top WRs are blue. Unsure if there'd be more than just Alt(?) as a blue chip LT and have no idea which edge, or how many edges, they consider blue chip. All three edges bring something different, and if they've given Latu a full medical clearance, he could actually be their top pass rushing edge.

Against Twitter wishes, Caleb decided to keep the pink phone, and go on about his business

"All in all, Poles struck at a time of adversity for Allen and the Chargers. And he won.

"Keenan Allen popped up, which was a really cool opportunity for where we’re headed, which is going to be with a young quarterback," Poles said. "I thought it was an absolute perfect fit. I don’t think there’s a better receiver in the league that can be better for a young quarterback in terms of understanding the NFL, timing, space, reading defenses.

"So I think that’s a great addition. It balances the field with [wide receiver DJ Moore] on the other side, Cole [Kmet] and [Gerald] Everett at tight end, [D'Andre] Swift at running back. We have a lot of really cool things that can get going and allow us to be dynamic and really special."

If we draft Alt what could we get for Braxton Jones?

Well this probably helps the trade back scenario.

Heard it was like a 4.56 which is still really good. The problem is that he doesn't ever run. He has like 260 yards rushing in 6 years of college ball. Maybe some team will think they can unlock it, but right now it's just not a factor of his game

With all this, it does not seem like a healthy existence for your quarterback to lead the team with. Constantly being in the eye of a media storm.. He said he doesn’t talk much. That was good.

[Dresden]

Did anyone hear what Jayden Daniel's time was in the 40?

[nomorezorro]

he didn't run. lsu people said he could have run in the 4.3x range for whatever that's worth

Not sure if it’s the camera angle, but that might be the slowest 4.46 I’ve ever seen.

“In fact, as I've written before, I think Williams is one of the best QB prospects of the past 25 years -- and I think he's going to have the greatest rookie season ever by a No. 1 pick at quarterback.“

If Dave Kaplan is to be believe, the Bears apparently "loves" Malik Nabors. I would be ok with (outside of the 1 overall pick) sacrificing the rest of this year's draft picks, (9th OA, 3rd round and 4th round) plus Carolina's second in next year's draft to move up to 5 or 6 and draft Nabors.Moore/Allen/Nabors would drive the rest of the NFC North DB's crazy.

That would mean the Bears draft class would be just Caleb Williams and Malik Nabors but I would be more than ok with that. If this happened, the draft would be boring for the Bears fans after the first 30 minutes or so.

Fun becomes in later rounds. And can we nab some gems. We dont have much picks left. It's gonna be fun to speculate who is on our radar left with 3rd and 4th round pick.

If they're going to argue importance, it's probably going to be Edge or LT. Just depends on how they have them ranked individually and who is available at our pick. Ideally I'd like to trade down and draft Latu in the 20's while gaining a 2nd to spend on WR or LT. I also would be enamored with Latu and DT in 2nd round (maybe Maason Smith who NecessaryEvil mentioned earlier). I feel like Caleb has "enough" on the offensive side, but if we can make the d-line elite, then look out. Field possession and defensive turnovers are also super important for a young QB.

I also love a good defense so I'm perhaps a bit biased there. Should be fun to discuss no matter how it shakes out.

I'd love for them to target Latu in a trade down situation, I think he's probably the most complete edge in the draft and expect him to make an impact right away. But I just don't see him fitting the preferred prototype, from a physical trait perspective, that the Bears are looking for at the position (a long, bendy type of athletic freak)

^^^ that's an interesting way to decide.

“One team is going to talk about, ‘The tackle position is the best to go after’ [or] ‘the wide receiver’s the best’ [or] ‘the defensive end’s the best.’ — and use factual information to kinda spit that out,” Poles said. “And we’ll have a debate in terms of what’s more impactful for our football team, short-term and long-term.”

All three groups will have an argument.

“A lot of guys went back to school this year,” Poles said. “I think you’re going to see a significant drop off. … The way we’re set up in the draft this year actually pairs up really well with how I think it’s going to play out.”

I've seen video of Poles bringing up OT multiple times, and just like this quote, it was the first position he brought up when talking about prospects in this class when asked about that 9 pick. Now what his OT board looks like, who knows... but the position is definitely being strongly considered. Considering offensive line scouting is Poles specialty, if he really likes one of these guys, I can absolutely see him going this route. Both Poles and Flus have mentioned how they value getting a blue chip guy there as well. If they trade back, I don't see them going down too far.

Purely intentional based on his injury history. No coincidence that he's stayed healthy the past few seasons after purposefully changing his style of play. Watch him at. Indiana... he ran then.

If Caleb got hit by a bus tomorrow, I'm trading back both picks and targeting the top WR and Penix. Along with CW, he made some of the most impressive throws I saw in CFB last season. Dude has a bazooka and can make all the tight window, NFL throws. Just need to give him some decent protection.

Would have been a lot better if we lost just one more game lol.

I already know CW is a big fan of Nabers as well. Wonder if he's lobbied the Bears to try to grab him.
