There is at best a 25% chance that the Bears will draft either Carter or Anderson, based purely on the fact that it's who everybody thinks they're going to pick. The Bears never take the consensus mocked projection, the only guy I can think of in recent memory was Roquan. This is also your depressing reminder that the Bears have been picking in the Top 11 since 2015 and only one of those guys is still on the team (JF)

Timby posted:Next year's free agent market looks a lot better than this one's. This is always the case this time of year, because most of the players at the top of any 2024 list are going to be obviously extended or somehow locked up between now and then. This FA class looks about the same as any others imo and you can still easily construct a league average to above average Defensive front 7 and OL 5, even if you pretend like nobody on the Bears current roster will be starting next season.

If my napkin math is right the Bears still have like 40 mil in possible FA money left? Bare minimum, give me at least 2 DL's and I'll be happy. I'm holding my breath for Frank Clark. GNU Order fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Mar 13, 2023 |

Playoff teams overpay for premium positions but these jokers are literally starting from the bottom, you should just be getting really great players at reasonable rates. e- I'm sorry I'm normally not an argumentative person but i'm just pissed that my team was unable to sign Mike "The Glinch" McGlinchey because a desperate rear end team overpaid for him

Everybody in football is historically tight-lipped, I'm glad the GM is talking personally, the deal is done and the addition of a young, established WR1 I think makes it more than worth it. If we're still doing poo poo like whining about the Claypool pick and the perception lost value off the trade-back in 2 or 3 years, then it was never gonna work out in the first place.

If anything, the fact that Poles was willing to be open with this move makes me kinda mad that we'll never get the real story behind Roquan. Even if it is as simple as "there was some behind-the-scenes character stuff" or "the HC didn't think his body type fit the scheme, and we knew this fast rangey freak LB was going to hit FA by the end of the season, so we sold off Roquan to secure the tank, got a pick back, and we think we'll get equivalent production from this guy in the future when the games actually matter"

unl33t posted:Surprisingly little chatter in the thread about such a major organizational shift in Chicago tbh I still don't feel like I know enough about how Poles wants to run a football team yet. I THINK I believe him when he says poo poo like he intends to build through the draft, that he's in no hurry to be good now, and that as an organization they seem much more interested in maximizing value and not overspending at all. Most coaches would rather draft and develop "their guys" anyway. Sounds good to me, I hope it works out and we win a Super Bowl soon, that'd be pretty cool e - ope GNU Order fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Mar 26, 2023 |

I’m watching his highlights and he’s insanely sick. It’d be a lot of fun to watch. Also I kind of suspect as WR salaries keep getting bigger that RB contracts will start to look more appealing w/r/t production per dollar.

Just let me dream though. But, honestly, what if Poles has some random RT in the 2nd that ends up being serviceable, and he also really wants to score as many points as humanly possible. There's no such thing as having too many elite skill players

They signed a starter last month and I think they still like Tevin Jenkins (jury's still out but there's no reason to give up on him yet) For the first time in like a decade we have a lot of picks so I'm sure they'll grab some random dude in the 3rd day anyway

One of the things that drove me crazy about the Pace years is sometimes he would try to get crafty and draft some division 3 guy who ended up sucking rear end, or even worse just being mediocre to below average. The NCAA is basically a farm system now just take good players from the best schools

Just to get some context of what’s realistic I went and looked at teams with the worst record, and what they did the next season 2022: Jags 3-14 to 9-8 (and a playoff win) 2021: Jags 1-15 to 3-14 (drafted their franchise QB) 2020: Bengals 2-14 to to 4-11-1 (drafted their franchise QB) 2019: Cards 3-13 to 5-10-1 (drafted their franchise QB) 2018: Browns 0-16 to 7-8-1 (thought they drafted their franchise QB) 2017: Browns 1-15 to 0-16 2016: Titans 3-13 to 9-7 2015: Bucs 2-14 to 6-10 (drafted Jameis lol) 2014: Texans 2-14 to 9-7 2013: Chiefs 2-14 to 11-5 (and a playoff loss) 2012: Colts 2-14 to 11-5 (and a playoff loss, drafted Andrew Luck who played like a franchise QB) So what does this mean to me, the eager Bears Goober? Bad teams who drafted their franchise QB with the first overall pick were usually pretty bad the next season, but I look at the 2016 Titans, a team with a good amount of talent and a QB in place, in a weak conference, who traded down from pick #1 to draft a right tackle, with coaches who were in their second season running the team, and they made it above 500. What if.
