I like it from a development perspective. Eiselen has shown tremendous improvement the last two years. Having solid backups are tremendously valuable. If they can turn into plus starters, even better. I still want the thoroughbreds drafted, knowing you have a contingency plan of they fail or are hard to extend..

Well done!

I like it. My preference would be to address RB and move TE in the 3rd. I think Deuce is going to be a handful, but our offense hasn't evolved in able for him to succeed with us.

For my entire life the Chicago Bears have been portrayed as blue collar, hard nosed, black and blue, great defense and great running game. It hasn't worked for over 30 years! Time fix it, once and for all. We have a chance to create the greatest offense we have ever had. It all begins with my tag line from the old site, "IT ALL STARTS UP FRONT". It's time! We have an opportunity to draft the final two pieces to an OL that has been neglected for decades. Those are decades of not developing a QB or winning a Superbowl. I'm not saying who Poles should draft, he has multiple options at RT and C. All I am asking is to get it done and do it with certainty. Other than OL, I really want him to draft a young bell cow running back, a 3T(or two) and a "move" TE. I honestly don't care about them fixing the defense until they give Fields 100% of what he needs to succeed. Fields succeeding will improve the defense greatly; more than a rookie DE ever could. I'm tired of waiting and hoping. I especially don't want to have all of the Trubisky talk about Fields. This IS the decision year on Fields, no debate. Give me Skoronski or Johnson Jr at OT and Schmitz, Avila or Wypler at center and you'll never hear me complain about OL being neglected again.

This draft is deep in what we need and Pace ? didn't get a chance to trade our picks away. I like Skor, but Johnson looks like the smart pick with him being able to play LT as well. With 10 picks, the draft should be lovely.

Totally agree. Plus, this is not the year anyway. Make solid moves and draft BPA.

How long has it been since we had a receiver consistently draw double coverage or shade from a safety? I like the brashness, as it builds high intensity to back it up. With Mooney and Claypool coming into next contracts, they'd better step up.

My guess is that they'll continue to address in the draft and maybe a cap cut. A better front seven will do wonders.

Did I read it wrong? I read it like Justin said it...

Absolutely! Film shows that his agility at contact is generational.

That would be a nice upgrade.

I'm glad he's coming in for a visit, because it creates a learning opportunity for me. I already laid down my condemnation of Carter for coming into his pro day overweight and out of shape, so maybe he can get some redemption. If he can come in and convince Poles, who will smell BS, that he has grown from his past and football is first, I'll be glad to have him. Me and my sofa judgement still asks, would Jordan or Payton fail a workout?

There's a few guys out there that are listed at edge that scouts are predicting will be 3techs. It may be a couple of obscure guys.

Options be damned, I'll take Peter Skoronski at the beginning of all of those scenarios. Young bodies are bountiful at DL after the OL is set. OT, DL, DL and RB are my priorities...(in that order)

? I was thinking the same thing, funny...?

I think he's the guy.

He was low end ypc guy in college too. He made his bones on yards after contact. IMO, Monty runs his ass off, but lacks vision and burst. Then, there's his fatal flaw, the jump cut.

I think we are set at receiver. It will be interesting to see who plays slot. Your speculation is right with RT, as we don't have anyone on the roster. Leatherwood and Diesch were cut very early in their careers, Leatherwood for slow recognition and Diesch for being too weak and extremely short arms. Both players are super athletic. Out of those two, Leatherwood gets the nod for backup guard. Diesch should be cut. Borom has shown lack of awareness, slow feet and short arms. He also should be cut. I'm looking for veteran swing tackle to come in with a very high draft choice. Kramer is odd man out at center if they elect to pay Whitehair.

What does the bold indicate? We have two needs on OL. There is no-one on the roster that can fill in at LT. If we draft Paris Johnson from Ohio State, he could be the starting RT and backup LT.

I kinda think we are in disagreement. Leatherwood is not even a backup at the position. He's been relegated to guard and is hanging on by a thread at that. We still need to sign and draft someone that can play right tackle. I'm guessing the veteran will have had experience at both.

That'll never happen. Leatherwood may have the highest pressure per snap ratio in NFL history. If he makes the team, outs as a backup guard only.

Poles... "if it's not a fit, they don't come here".

Dude is a dumbass. He cost himself millions by refusing to play right tackle.

Not only was he heavy and out of shape, he didn't even finish the drills that people came to see him do. Hard no...

Orlando Brown is going to command at least 25 mil/year. I'm looking at current teams that have that clout are the Bears, Falcons, Raiders, Patriots, Bengals and Cardinals. I'm eliminating the Bengals, Patriots and Raiders because they wouldn't have enough left for the rookie pool. Screw it, we're getting his ass! We own this off-season!
