adam Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Here is what Poles has as options with his first 3 picks: With 39, he can trade back for a 2nd and a 3rd: 54 / 85 (NE) 55 / 87 (ARZ) 56 / 88 (DAL) 57 / 89 (BUF) For #39, for a 2nd and a 4th: 44 / 117 (CLE) 45 / 118 (BAL) 47 / 121 (IND) For #48, for a 2nd and a 3rd: 61 / 93 (SF) 62 / 94 (KC) 63 / 120 / 208 (CIN) For #48, for a 2nd and a 4th: 53 / 125 (LV) 54 / 126 (NE) Then for 71, they could do something this to pick up a 4th: 80/136 (HOU) 82/121 (IND) 83/123 (PHI) So Poles has a ton of options with his first 3 picks. My guess is he pulls off at least one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Yes, please. Trade 39 for 47 / 121 (IND). Trade 48 for 53 / 125 (LV). Bears end up with 2nd (47), 2nd (53), 3rd (71), 4th (121), 4th (125), 5th (147), 5th (149), 6th (184). 2nd (47) - Daniel Faalele, OT, Minnesota 2nd (53) - John Metchie III, WR, Alabama 3rd (71) - Justyn Ross, WR, Clemson 4th (121) - Coby Bryant, CB, Cincinnati 4th (125) - Haskell Garrett, DT, Ohio State 5th (147) - Logan Bruss, G, Wisconsin [Whitehair to Center, resign Daniels] 5th (149) - Isaiah Pola-Moa, S, USC [Polamalu's nephew] 6th (184) - Christopher Allen, OLB, Alabama OFFENSE: Fields is set up with Jenkins-Bruss-Whitehair-Daniels-Faalele, and two high-upside receivers. DEFENSE: Bryant starts day 1 opposite Jaylon Johnson, and it wouldn't shock me if Garrett snuck into a starting spot. I honestly think Pola-Moa is a sleeper in this draft, and could also start.

That would be awesome. 5 picks in the top 125, and 7 in the top 150. That would make for a quick turnaround for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Getting 3 picks in top 71 will get us three starters and I can see a few extra picks . If we can get 3 picks between 100-150 that would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Jenkins is not an LT IMO) Now, if we happened to do a wild thing and sign Terron Armstead, we could do something really nasty with Faalele. Fallele RT, Jenkins RG, Whitehair C, Borom LG, Armstead LT. That would create a road grating OL for the run game. And if Mustipher is a decent option with this new regime, cut Whitehair and save the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I think Whitehair stays at LG, OC and one OT will be new .Borom plays RT or RG, Jenkins LT or RT . Don't see us bringing back Daniels at 10 or above . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Jason sees more in him than what's in the scouting reports. It doesn't appears he's ready to start but a year or two down the road he should be. Or do you park him at RT now and move Jenkins inside to RG and go heavy? I lean toward drafting players in Rd 2 that can contribute this year.

lemonej Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I too am on the Faalele train but, Poles has been clear about OL with lean bodies and movement. At 6/8 and 385 , that doesn't fit what they are projecting so I'm looking at Tyler Smith OT out of Tulsa at 39, George Pickens WR at 48 and Christian Watson WR at 71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainnman fits scheme but a late one or early two . He might be there. I think they address the oline in free agency and instead of looking for a starter early more of a developmental player in round. 5 or 6. I think they find a OG to replace Whitehair in a year or two to eliminate his big contract. A Cole Strange or Chris Paul. I tink they should go WR with two of there fi3 picks. Cheaper options instead of FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stated that Faalele is not a fit for what the Bears are going to do. BTW I use a big board from a draft site as my projection , what do you use and again did you actually read my post? Tyler Smith OT, George Pickens And Christian Watson both WRs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a nice haul for the first 3 picks. I think you may be able to trade back and still get those 3 with an extra 4th or 5th rounder.

I don't know why I thought I heard/read somewhere that the Bears were ready to move Jenkins to LT. If that's not accurate, and it doesn't appear to be, then I'd just swap Faalele with Rasheed Walker, OT, Penn State. Same draft otherwise. Side note: I think the Bears should really target Metchie, Ross, and Pickens...and try hard to get two of the three. I believe all three are first round talent, but lack intangibles.

Normally I would have mentioned it but already started writing the post and and went back to it later in between your post and me sending it. I got lazy.
