I’ve been thinking that Skattebo could be a good pick in the 4th, maybe even late 3rd. He runs with power, heart, and determination. There’s also that chip on his shoulder. He could be a real workhorse that keeps drives alive by consistently churning out 4+ypc w/ an occasional long play.

I smell 🐂💩. That’s immediately suspect analysis, likely performed by an underperforming JV offensive lineman who, despite his man-boobs and general body composition resembling 275lbs of chewed bubblegum, thinks he could have been all-state if the varsity coach had put him in. The way I see it you break down into the following categories: 1. QB’s fault, held for big play 2. QB’s fault, missed read 3. WR’s fault, incorrect route(s) 4. OL’s fault, QB pressure/sack in pocket 5. OL’s fault, QB forced out of pocket I’m betting there is a lot of conflict between 1 & 5.

That’s going to be a very subjective analysis. Generally speaking I’d say it’s gotta be a great majority on the OL.

No disagreement at all. But two of those monsters completely changes how an offense must attack. I’m fine with having less explosive middle rush as long as they push the pocket and occupy the four interior gaps.

You don’t, but you also should have a pretty damn good idea of who your top three are. The Bears are going at this like a virgin freshman asking every girl in the class to prom.

Yeah. It’s comical actually. It’s like having Jordan, Kobe, and Pippen standing next to Bill Cartwright and considering whether or not Bill is interested in playing on your 3-man basketball team.

Holy shit. I hadn’t thought of Saban. 1,000,000% if he is interested. Best college coach ever. If it doesn’t translate to the NFL it is not about his coaching ability, and more about something exterior like bad drafts (GM), bad ownership (McCaskey), or bad culture (spoiled millionaire players).

Agree. If you believe a guy is Lombardi or Papa Bear, you interview him. You don’t set up interviews with ten other dudes for practice.

I don’t believe it’s archaic. Having two monster 2-gap DTs occupies 3 blockers (GCG) and immediately puts the defense at a numerical disadvantage. And the defense is actually up two players unless playing against a running QB. OTs on DEs one on one is exactly what you want on defense. The obvious added benefit, of course, is that it limits the running lanes, allowing your LBs to blitz and gamble on big plays since A and B gaps are essentially clogged. I’d take Traylor and Washington in a heartbeat. Just like you can’t teach height in basketball, you can’t teach playable girth in football. A dude who can carry around 340 with mobility is not normal.

Remember when the Bears had Traylor and Washington? I always loved those years. They don’t get many sacks, but they solve the run game issues. That allows others to free lance a bit more, and more exotic blitzing becomes possible. Thats’s my way of saying I also like Walker.

It’s like the Bears are simply opposed to selecting the common sense pick. The common sense formula: Great success in college Big-time football program Consistent production against all opponents No injury concerns Position of need

None. Easy.

60% Bad OL 25% Bad Coaching/Scheming 15% Holding the ball

While I obviously think Williams has better QB skills than Fields, the role of a GM is to win games. And the team overall would likely have been better off keeping Fields, and trading the #1 for a boatload of picks that contained the various missing pieces. Fields had flaws, but teams have won with much worse QBs. So Poles failed in two regards. His player evaluation failed, and he also failed in terms of draft capital management.

Let’s go!!😂😂😂 Honestly, it would be looked at as one of the most bizarre draft day moves of all time, like Ditka trading everything for Ricky Williams, but at least it would show a serious effort to protect Caleb and put him in the best possible position to survive.
