While the Bears look poised to lock down a top-two draft pick,
they can land the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft with
a loss to the Vikings and a Texans win over the Colts.
Chicago currently holds the No. 2 pick, and a loss to Minnesota
would guarantee that selection. But the top selection is still
up for grabs with a Houston win.

Therein lies the problem.....who's going to catch the ball?
Who's going to block for the QB to throw the ball? Who's going
to throw the ball, the running QB?? Who's going to stop the run?
Who's going to play safety? Who who who etc etc.....loads of
who's needed and doubtful it'll be done in a season...or with
the right players....this is a pathetic team.

I can see Philly trading #9 and #31 along with a couple other
picks to move up to #2 and get Anderson/Carter.
We could then use the #9/#31 picks on Peter Skoronski/Isaiah
Foskey. One example.
A guy like Anderson or Carter would be great, but we have too
many holes to plug and FA isn't how you build a team. It's how
you supplement it.
We need picks. Lots of 'em.

The draft chart says that Philly could trade their entire 2023
draft and would still come up short to get the Bears #2 pick.
Maybe throw in their 2024 #1.
Or throw in AJ Brown or Devonte Smith - works for me.

Poles has quite the dilemma. Take the supposed generational
talent in Anderson or Carter or trade down. Pace was crucified
when he failed on the Trubisky trade. If Poles trades down and
misses the next Watt or Bosa or Garrett for a couple of OK guys
he too will be crucified. And of course the opposite could
happen if Anderson or Carter are just so-so and are taken with
the #2 pick.
Look at last year. JAX took Travon Walker #1 - he has 3.5
sacks. He might have a future - I don't know, I don't follow
the Jags. The Lions took Aiden Hutchinson with 7.5 sacks this
season - I know he's a stud already.
The correct decision will be known some time AFTER the 2023
season or later. Hopefully Poles has done his scouting
homework but its not all science - the draft is still a
crapshoot.

James Houston really impresses me. Picked in the 6th round,
waived, then put on the practice squad the next day. He didn't
play until Thanksgiving and has had a sack in almost every game
since and lead the Lions with 8 sacks breaking Von Miller's <a

/>along the way.
It is up to Poles and the scouts to find gems like this dude.

We were all like "who is this guy?". A Jackson St kid who
played for Deion. 4.6 40 and 39" vertical. You wonder how
the Lions' coaches kept him on the bench for half a season.
But at 6-1 241 he's really too small to play NFL DE.
Remember that when people tell you that Will Anderson is not big
enough to play DE (6-4 243).

So who wants to trade for the #1 overall pick?
Line forms to the right!
