I like it!

Pace brought his buddy in to do it. That should have let everyone know, then and there.

Agreed on Master T? He falls down changing directions. I didn't realize Justyn Ross has a congenital spine condition.

I love that we ended up with 11 picks. Not only did we need the fresh bodies, we had the intell from several organizations to return with. With having 6 picks going into the draft, we had to really focus at maximizing the late rounds to get value. Getting 8 picks there, in the deepest draft, will bring some pleasant surprises.(Same with UDFA) Notice that we drafted some older guys and all of them will begin the new culture. I'm definitely looking forward to the growing pains and the growth. We've become one of the youngest teams in the league from being the second oldest.

Kind of a continuation of what my thoughts yesterday. I like that we drafted 11 guys in THIS draft. We needed the youth infusion. These guys will be foundational culture pieces as well as being properly scouted players. Remember, is talking about how important out was to maximize this draft due to all the intell we had from several good scouting departments. I don't doubt for a second that our guys were licking their chops when the opportunity to get more picks presented themselves, with the deepest draft in decades and mega intell. All of this trickles into UDFA, knowing our needs and potentially having to stick with the original 6 picks. My guess is that we went from the 2nd oldest roster in the NFL, to the youngest in one year.

For the record, I believe this is a 6 win team. Believe it or not, I look forward to the growth and an optimistic that we finally have the correct approach to building a roster. Things should get exciting 2023 season.

Good thoughts. Completely agree on OL, as I believe we still don't have starting LT on the roster. We can get by as we did with Peters last year, but who does that develop? Hilton would be a good pickup if affordable. He absolutely will miss games, but he's a great route runner and locker room guy that would valuable in implementing the offense.

One thing about this draft, that I hope pans out, is that it is one of the deepest drafts in a long time, due to delayed graduations/eligibility from covid. So going from 6 to 11 picks is a major plus for the turnover of the roster. Especially since this year's 7th rounders may equate to 5th and 6th rounders. This is what I wanted for this year. The only thing that would have made it better would be to trade Quinn for extra picks. I'm looking forward to watching our young guys have growing pains this season. The following season we'll have draft capital and a better cap, so it will be a depth year and playoff push.(all dependent on Fields)

Nobody is. When people ask their parents about them, they change the subject...?

Absolutely. You can already tell he spends time in the weight room. He's got guns like Bobbie Massie.

Huge wingspan too. That's why they say he needs to get stronger.

We don't need a starting guard. LT is still a problem.

Yea, that's a head scratcher. He looks like a Deebo though.

Tom, Raimann or Tolbert would be good. I don't know how Poles has rated players, but IMO OL and WR are the biggest needs. As fans, we tend to be more to the emotional side of drafting. It seems like they are staying with BPA and will have adjust accordingly later.

Gordon and Brisker were BPA. It shows Poles will stick to the plan.

Bastards!

McAfee says he kicks piss missles...?. He broke him down on his show and said he's a game changer.

One last dream draft. Traded down twice because I liked how it was playing out.

That's savage!

I wonder why they gave you D- for Araiza. That dude will be a fifteen year difference maker...

I was surprised at the Cole Strange pic, but not Tyler Smith. Smith has tremendous upside. I was really hoping he would fall to us. His interview on GMFB was awesome. You can really tell he's got some Steve McMichael in his brain.

I'm good with all of it. I'm tired of the Bears getting close and having the window slammed shut for one reason or another. It's time to build that rock solid foundation from the ground up. Whoever may be used up in three years is on the block.

Same!

No

Quinn is a huge commodity as far as trade bait is concerned, Monty not so much. Quinn gets to the QB, which makes everyone else's job easier on defense. Monty is a good RB, but there's nothing special about him that changes games. If you project Monty's worth to when this team will be viable again, it's better to get younger legs if you can fetch a good draft pick for him.
