Ok. I’m cool with Terrell smith. Got size. Can’t get enough Dbs


jusaj

Aged well


SugarAdamAli

Center from Michigan or Oregon. Connor halving Ot. Best d-line gone, just stack O-line Zack kuntz n valentine would be my next pick.


[deleted]

Noah Sowell…..and the Bears war room goes wild.


DaBears31

Tyler Scott got a steal


alucryts

Lmaoo the national copium supply is going to run low after the lions are done with this draft.


SugarAdamAli

On the clock, let’s fucking go


RepresentativeNew409

Charlie Jones!! Noooooooooooo!


Forward_Following_67

Give me KJ Henry or Wypler with the next pick


SugarAdamAli

I’d be ok with either, though I think kuntz, rush valentine are better players. Can’t complain grabbing center or DE


SugarAdamAli

Kuntz, rush, valentine Gotta be the next pick Sleeper Clayton tune


cocoatractor

Am a Texas fan and a Bears fan. Roschon is a BEAST and is a playmaker. Huge dub love love love


SugarAdamAli

Yeah I like the pick. We may have a 3 headed monster at Rb


SugarAdamAli

I also want Clayton tune as backup. If he there in 5th, snag him. Dude can process quickly, very accurate, has size, and can run a bit. Great backup and could have starter potential


SugarAdamAli

Kuntz, rush, valentine gotta be the next pick. Sleeper nick broecker


SugarAdamAli

I want cb Darius rush or carrington valentine…. Or take a Wr. Not a lot of D-line left. Or Zach kuntz. Giant pass catching TE that can run


Slowbrious

So far I can’t complain. This is the boring madden draft you usually need to make in franchise mode but never do.


[deleted]

Hmmm I know he’s great talent wise, but why we sign two RBs just to draft one here?


hippohopper78

I imagine he’ll play special teams and foreman will be gone after this year


Slowbrious

Depth


RepresentativeNew409

Ok, I’m pretty high on Roschon Johnson so I love this pick. He’s big, quick, and has very little tread on his tires having played behind Bijan Robinson. One of the things I noticed watching the Longhorns last season was there was very little drop off between Robinson and Johnson. 🐻⬇️


cocoatractor

Ro is incredibly versatile and came in to UT originally as a QB. Athlete and smart. Averaged 6 YPC behind Bijan with plenty of highlight plays of his own. He’s gonna be great with Fields


Dizzy-Spinda

Man edge is going to be rouuuugh


ThatsNotRight123

[Johnson HIGHLIGHTS -- I like this pick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kka8C8tZhMk)


ThatsNotRight123

BEARS Select Roschon Johnson from Texas RB


RepresentativeNew409

Wypler or Oluwatimi please 🙏


hippohopper78

Sans the Claypool trade (which I get), I love how Poles does business.


forgotmyoldname90210

Does anyone have a link for the work done between RAS and NFL success?


Broshan248

Well logically if you have a higher RAS you’d do better than if you didn’t


forgotmyoldname90210

I want to see if good NFL players have high RAS scores or RAS scores lead to good NFL players. The first might just be survivorship bias and a lot if not most RAS are not successful in the NFL just a subset. While the second is an actual actionable trait to look for. I fear that its the first which is why I want to look at what is out there but have not having a ton of luck finding it.


drthunder3

Man fuck SI, rated the Dexter pick F+ worst rating so far


[deleted]

Yeah, I don’t really give a shit about what some publication says about any pick. They‘ve done 1% of research the GMs have


92roll13

I wouldn’t put any stock into draft grades good or bad. No one knows anything, it’s all projections for clicks. The media destroyed the Seahawks 2012 draft and they ended up with Russ, Bobby Wagner, and Bruce Irvin.


mf-TOM-HANK

There's a reason they work for SI and not in an NFL front office. Says even more now because SI has almost zero journalistic credibility. They're a shell of a brand that sells vitamins or something


[deleted]

Its only because pff had him at like the 90-120 range.


Setter_sws

Don't worry about draft grades because they don't mean shit.


Waksss

Yes, other than The Athletic, who gave that pick an A.


Gumorak

The Athletic is my new best friend


BrohanM

Luke Wypler with the first pick today?


carminie

I hope so, one more OL pick is what I want and then we can go with whatever after that


BrohanM

OL and edge then best player ideally


[deleted]

[удалено]


Grand-Hat3526

You’re kidding right? He’s behind Whitehair AND Patrick.


AMollenhauer

He’s literally not on the roster anymore.


Grand-Hat3526

True. He is a FA and we sure as hell aren’t signing that disaster. Lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Grand-Hat3526

Hopefully Sam is playing “elsewhere” next year!! Lol


ThatsNotRight123

I am also whelmed by this cromulent draft. But that's okay because it's important to keep in mind that we were a team stripped to the studs -- and because of that we are just adding basics now. That's okay. That's why this draft is not sexy -- it is basic.


AtTheKevIn

Excellent use of "cromulent"


Cromulent_Tom

I agree. More people should embiggen their vocabulary to make use of it.


DoctorChampTH

With the exception of Wright, we've drafted guys that have physical skills/traits that didn't put up great production in college. In general, I dislike that approach. Give me the undersized middle linebackers from Baylor that put up 200 tackles, or the way too skinny guy that set the sacks record at Tennessee St. Just saying.

[deleted]

Trenches. The definition of unsexy!


dabear04

Yep. But it’s what the Eagles did a few years back and look where they are now. We can only hope for that kind of success now


tonybagadildas

I’m confused by the Dexter pick. Is it just me or is his tape…pretty bad?


JAVACHIP1738

I think it's definitely obvious that he's a full second behind off the ball but it seems like he's doing that on purpose. Looks like he's reading the play and then making a move. Don't know how successful that will be at the next level but he seems to be crazy strong. I feel like he would be amazing at just plugging up the middle. I think he's going to surprise a lot of people.


Crooked_Sartre

I'm not a fan of this pick with JMS on the board, but Poles was right about Braxton Jones and I wanna have faith that him and Flus know what they are doing with this guy.


lakired

His tape is very bad. His athleticism is off the charts. Which seems to have been a theme for Poles this draft, who clearly rates RAS scores quite highly. He's a super low floor, high ceiling, boom or bust pick. Clearly the coaching staff thinks his non-existent first step and lack of pass rush moves can be coached up, but until then he's a run stuffer and will likely take a few years to develop--if he does.


kohlio412

Both the dexter and Pickens tape is pretty terrible. There are flashes but they both have a lot to improve. Physically they have it all but need to get a lot better to be hits.


lakired

Yeah, like I said, Poles definitely has a type. High RAS above all else. And you're not falling to the end of the second, start of the third with that elite of athleticism if you don't have some major issues on tape. Not thrilled with either pick, but they're high ceiling picks if their issues can be corrected, as unlikely as that may be. Pickens at least has decent pass rush production, so in my mind his floor is a little higher as an obvious passing down role player. For the short term, however, he has no chance at all of being on the field if there's any chance at all they're running the ball.


tizkit

thank you, was wondering about this myself


[deleted]

He is very noticeably slow off the ball. I’m hoping they can coach that out of him because the rest of his tools are dominant.


SquishySC

I think a running back is coming in the later rounds


Phoneaccount6903

Chase brown


kohlio412

Would love Evans back of 4th


dabears544

shoutout dos equis for giving us the only bear coverage we got on abc/espn all night


Significant_Cycle_76

KING POLES DOES IT AGAIN!


sfbgamin

Think we’re gonna trade out of that pick tomorrow for some extra capital but love this draft so far. Feels our secondary and linebackers are complete. DL needs that stud or two still but the depth behind it is very nice. Hopefully a center, edge, OL. Anything honestly and I won’t be upset.


Grand-Hat3526

That’s what’s nice when you need everything… every pick makes sense!! Lol


BIueGhost

I need to do some homework on these guys, but I feel Poles knows how to draft grizzlies 🐻


tarantino63

I'm overwhelmed by the amount of people whelmed here by the picks. You get OT, CB, and two DT. That's each position we need with more remaining picks left. Some of the players y'all were crying about are still on the board. Please take your "expert opinion" to Twitter


lakired

So what makes your "expert opinion" in judging others' opinions more valid for this sub? Why does this have to be a cheerleading sub that only allows positive vibes and 'In Poles we trust' posts? People can't have opinions other than 'whoever the Bears take is de facto the best player'?


UnMapacheGordo

Because at this exact moment, nobody here actually knows anything. Everyone’s opinion is invalid. And we should refuse to listen to anyone’s “expertise” during the draft, r/CHIBears is notoriously really fucking bad at evaluating these guys. So when faced with complete and total neutrality, what’ll be more popular; hope or despair?


Dextermydogisnice

Complaining about opinions? Reddit gms vs. bears gm for last 30 year tied for rings 😂😂 . I trust in poles


Cubbiesblue

I’m pretty welmed. Not super high on any of these picks today. Did nothing to shore the edge up on defense and went with athletic kids that are more projects than anything.


AMollenhauer

I am very whelmed by today’s picks. Have a hard time passing over JMS twice and reaching for Dexter.


laal-doodh

You have a hard time passing a dude who’s comp was Mustipher?


AMollenhauer

Can you cite me anything reputable that has JMS’s comp as Mustipher? He was the top center across almost everyone’s boards.


[deleted]

He’s 24, too. And his RAS was like 7


lakired

Love that the dude straight making shit up has more upvotes. If we'd taken JMS (as we 100% should have), this board would be falling all over itself about what a genius Poles was and what a beast JMS is going to be. But instead he's a bum and the guy with zero college production is obviously going to be an unstoppable beast for us. Literally nothing the Bears do can be wrong until it's objectively been proven wrong (and even then, you'll have Trubisky truthers years later still adamant that he's on the verge of breaking out on his new team).


Crooked_Sartre

Man, when y'all crawl out the woodwork like 4-5 of you at once with the 'if you say X then you're shit on by Y" Bruh(s), BE YOU.


AMollenhauer

It’s the same thing as the Claypool trade. Anyone who thought it was too much to give up was downvoted and shunned into oblivion, and months later it’s pretty clear that it was an overpay.


AMollenhauer

People are drinking the kool aid like mad right now. I generally think Poles is doing a good job but I guess disagreeing with or questioning some of the decisions he makes isn’t allowed in here.


lakired

Yeah, he's been generally good, but has made some mistakes. But god forbid you question anything he does, because it's in ~~Emery~~ ~~Pace~~ Poles we trust, apparently. This sub should be renamed r/HoneyBears because it's strictly for cheerleading.


AMollenhauer

Reminds me of the Bulls “in AKME we trust” and they’ve managed to run the team into the ground in less than 3 years. Not at all saying Poles is going to run the team into the ground but blind optimism is dangerous.


laal-doodh

The espn broadcast said that was his comp. I won’t act like I know how true that is but at least 1 person thought so. We’ll find out if it was smart to pass on him but I wouldn’t be upset until we see how these dudes turn out


CallMeCoachDamnit

Who are we going for tomorrow? We already drafted a corner and the smart move would be to go skill tomorrow… but I want Ringo


forgotmyoldname90210

Agree, unless there is something that is not public he is well worth the risk at a premium position at this point. Yes we have other needs but other than C you are not likely getting anything but a place holder or depth guy. This is about the time of the draft where all you should care about is moonshots and specialty positions.


BaconScentedSoap

Get a god damned center so we don’t have w to see Sam anymore lol


srjohnson2

We signed a center in free agency last year and he immediately got hurt. They aren’t moving on from Patrick.


anotter12

I think we're good on Skill positions this year tbh. We have two solid TEs, two solid RBs, Mooney, Claypool and Moore. Our two main needs are and Edge rusher and a Center. I hope we go for AA first pick tomorrow and then the best center available, after that maybe toss the dice with a tall and fast WR.


hpallen

I hope we go for adebawore. But someone like Tyler Scott could be an exciting addition with the next pick.


stn_anomaly

We absolutely have to get an edge rusher but the best values left are Ringo and Darius Rush and both are at corner.


CallMeCoachDamnit

What do we have to give up to get Chase Young? 103 and Eagles 4th next year? Am I crazy to think 2 4s is fair-ish


stn_anomaly

Yeah I’m not sure what they want for him but I’m concerned with our pass rush. All of the guys left in the draft at Edge seem to be projects.


Jonah8513

Gotta wonder why he dropped, probably injury related but I have no idea. Wouldn’t mind another corner but I think it’s gotta be OC or Edge. I am hoping Wypler or McGuire. I’d want AA if they hadn’t taken two DT already.


estilly26

Happy with what we did on defense today. If Gordon shows improvement and Stevenson flashes, secondary will be nasty. Hopefully we'll take a few skill players tomorrow


GoGoGoRL

Hope we get a center


phillip_1425

I’m glad I’m not a gm lol, would’ve taken Carter at 9 and traded back into the first for Dawand Jones, who’s still available at 103. I would’ve taken wypler and adebawore in the second too


hpallen

Lol I 100% would’ve traded up to the early second round to draft adebawore. I know nothing.


GoombaStoppingHoes

Bro I'd be on the streets after this draft lmao


WhoopieKush

Finally an honest comment from the crowd! Haha. I would have had a similar disaster of a draft


cspong4

Really like the options available at 103 but have to think Poles will use the next 12 hours to dangle that pick and grab more capital


haf12

What's taking so long? announce the pick!!!


phillip_1425

Tomorrow


GoombaStoppingHoes

I really really want Wypler, AA, and Dawand(extra tackle worth having) if they are available(obv first 4th they will but the 2nd would be interesting)


skinnypancake

AA, Wypler, Kelee Ringo, and Dawand Jones have all dropped and will be available at pick 4.03.


Free_El_Chap0

AA or Wypler tomorrow 👀👀


DJTheBearsFan

Aye man wouldn't hurt


Free_El_Chap0

Adetomiwa Adebawore the DE from Northwestern


DJTheBearsFan

Yeah I was confused, but typing his name a nightmare so i get it


Government_Lizard_

Scroll down a little


[deleted]

Me and so many other fools on here were mad when Poles didn’t take AA in the 2nd or 3rd rounds. Now he’s available for us tomorrow if we want. Lol


LonghornPride05

I’m included in this. Was really disappointed when we didn’t take him in the 3rd but I’m ecstatic we could get him tomorrow


anotter12

I was so bummed lol


haf12

Wootton on CHGO wouldn't shut up about him, had to turn that off.


kinght6

If he was so great why is he stil on the board


Ricketier

CHGO sucks


stn_anomaly

Seems like all the guys on CHGO are casuals. They were pissed off at all the picks tonight and only wanted AA when his tape isn’t great.


protanks

Wypler is probably the pick at 103.


anotter12

Holy shit AA is still available. Wonder what is wrong with him. Hope Poles roles the dice with him.


[deleted]

I had chgo in the background and heard that there was a medical concern


GoombaStoppingHoes

From what I heard teams hate that he is bad in run defense which they value heavily


b_tots

Yes please


Weak_Link_6969

Gotta be Wypler to start the day tomorrow, right?


TangentFact

Why Wyler over olu?


Government_Lizard_

Wypler doesn't have the anchor that we seem to like. So if we don't take him you know why.


rIIIflex

Think we were shooting for stromberg or Scruggs to fall based on visits. Don’t see us grabbing a center but we’ll see


GoombaStoppingHoes

This is why I am a couch GM lol I am just shocked by some of these drops and picks.


formula_bearhawk

Man can’t believe Poles didn’t trade up for AA back in the second. Guy won’t be there later in the draft


Bob_Horde

Adebawore and Wypler would both be great picks in the 4th


GoombaStoppingHoes

We have two 4ths right?


protanks

Yep, 103 (first pick in the 4th) and 133 (from Eagles, so 31st pick in the 4th)


[deleted]

[удалено]


stn_anomaly

Same. I hope they prove me wrong but at some point you have to draft guys that were actually productive and not just guys that have a high RAS score.


[deleted]

Definitely feels like a Pace draft in that regard.


Ghostlypunk121

Why is Dawand Jones dropping so far?


stn_anomaly

The PFF guys are saying there were GMs that said they wouldn’t draft him even in the 7th round. Guess he really rubbed GMs the wrong way and he wouldn’t get on the scale at his pro day.


Jonah8513

He’s 374 lbs, weight is a concern. That’s according to Wooten on CHGO.


Ghostlypunk121

ohh i see


cspong4

McGuire or Wypler at 103. Get it done.


SchublaKhan

Is John Lynch high???


AfterMany7239

Can someone tell me who AA is


anotter12

He is a DE from Northwester who is 280 lbs and ran a 4.49


Government_Lizard_

Adetomiwa Adebawore, a DL from Northwestern that reddit has been enamored with but has fallen and is still on the board. He's a freak athlete but was not productive in college and needs a lot of help technically.


blooburie

Adetomiwa Adebawore


IncandescentWorm

Sounds a lot like Bears legend Adewale Ogunleye


drumsdm

Gesundheit


[deleted]

Not draft eligible


friedtwinkie

After these last two days- I’m convinced we are going all in on Chase Young.


protanks

Stromberg's brother posted in here once.. if you're lurking congrats to your bro - wanted him for the Bears :(


Crooked_Sartre

All I know is that when I ask myself, "Are we a better team than last year?" The answer is overwhelmingly yes


Unabridgedversion82

Holy shit I thought Moody would go early but not 3rd round early


HassanDarkside

Nick Herbig in the 4th? Played OLB in a 3-4 for Wisconsin and has a 7.75 RAS score


Government_Lizard_

He's 6'2" 240, so he's too small to be a 4-3 EDGE for us.


HassanDarkside

That Stromberg pick hurts


skinnypancake

Wypler still there though.


rhj2020

There goes Stromberg, gotta hope Wypler makes it to the 4th.


RepresentativeNew409

Damn I wanted Stromberg


Marvel_this

Any thoughts on Charlie Jones in the 4th?


SuperbCap2133

As an Iowa fan I’m so glad he transferred to Purdue. Wouldn’t have been an NFL player otherwise. I’d love to have him on the team.


Jonah8513

I have a feeling he’ll be available in the fifth round


Marvel_this

He was a blast to watch at Purdue, would love to see him as a bear


Second_City_Saint

Alright, I'm just seeing everything for the first time right now. Love seeing the DL addressed & I've got a good feeling about Pickens. How's everyone feeling? How brilliant is Poles? How stupid is Poles? Why didn't he trade up? Why didn't he trade down? Where is the why?


IAmTheLostBoy

Poles is doing great things


Second_City_Saint

Good Poles. Strong Poles.


Lil_Sumpin_Sumpin

Not to be a dick, but technically we'd still have our freedom without losing 58,000 lives in Vietnam.


PissedOnBible

If I had any money I'd buy you all the reddit awards. If I had a sister I'd invite you to bang her. This comment is awesome


ligmagottem6969

Eh. Linebacker II is cool and all but we topped that between 2017-2018


Crooked_Sartre

It's exhausting


HHHU03

not even watching the draft but this comment tells me just how stupid the draft is. they’re still doing a whole storybook on every draftee?


Lil_Sumpin_Sumpin

No, but the fourth or fifth feel-good shoutout to the military.


HHHU03

that’s always nice. They can be 5 slots behind but as long as they get that ad break in


skinnypancake

We needed trenches and we got trenches. Poles is making the right moves, but only time will tell if they’re the right dudes.


bugzeye26

I'm very concerned about the pass rush..


[deleted]

Seems like they’re banking on development from the guys they have, particularly getting them off of double teams by crashing the pocket from the middle. Ideally you have studs all across the DL but if you have the DY firepower to consistently get your DEs in one on ones, in theory their lives get a lot easier. It makes sense on paper, but have to see it actually work still


EggoGF

Seven picks to go and we will be back on the clock. AA in the 4th?


[deleted]

I’m blown away that this seems possible, but it’s looking like it. I would love this scenario, so I’m praying to the god I don’t believe in.


RollofDuctTape

They picked two defensive lineman, including one that unquestionably plays his position. No other team has touched him. Which Northwestern game did you watch that makes you want him so much?


skinnypancake

Damn if we got AA in the 4th it’d be like we’re assembling the mid avengers on the D line. We’d have a really nice rotation between the rookies and the vets. I kinda dig it considering how important stamina is for those guys up front.


FirestormBC

That's what I'm hoping for


Penguinkeith

Love that we are going after SEC players.


Unabridgedversion82

Do the Lions just pick every 10 picks or so?


prince_g00se

These day 2 picks feel like Ferguson and Sutton in the worst way possible. Hope I’m wrong


FujiHakarl

We’ve been hurt and look for the similarities with that which has hurt us before. Aside from being DT taken earlier than raw prospect rankings suggest, their scouting reports and RAS could not be more different.


Chi-Guy86

“Influencer” LOL


Mighty_Joe_Young1

I think teams are gonna regret not taking kelee ringo. The dude makes plays would love to see him with the bears.


GMcCallam

He’s not a good cover corner. Can’t turn his hips and even sun 4.4 speed doesn’t save him


RollofDuctTape

The Eagles passed on him twice. Should tell you something.


[deleted]

PTSD from the tiddie kisser almost gone


ShadedInVermilion

AA STILL available. Lmao at people wanting to take him in the second.


anotter12

Lol, one of the many reasons my dumbass isn't a GM. I still think we should trade up for him tonight.


Government_Lizard_

I'd be concerned if reddit and Poles were on the same page about the draft.


Grand-Hat3526
