Re: 2024 NFL Draft

Whatever Poles decides is career defining for him. 2017,
Trubisky surged up the charts, and we know how that ended. What
if we draft Williams, and Daniels ends up being the one? Or
Maye? Or to be named?
What if Fields is dealt and he reaches his potential with all of
the God given tools he possesses? My greatest fear is this
scenario. Steve Young didn't throw for greater than 2500 yards
until year 7! It is a different league now, but the point is he
blossomed way late, even though he had every tool. We can't
wait 4 more years, but that is the point.
I guess, what has a greater chance of happening? Fields
reaching his potential, or one of the 6 prospects in the draft
being that guy?
Career defining for Poles.

<i>“The hot topic,” Poles said. “The 1st pick. The quarterback
situation. Contrary to reports out there, I have no master plan
to present everyone today. This is an opportunity for us to
continue to gather information, learn about the different
players in the draft, listen to what opportunities could come up
and then, at the end of the day, we’re gonna to make the best
decision that we can for the Chicago Bears. <b>It will not be
based on fear of what could happen with this, what could happen
with that. We’re gonna put our information together and make the
best decision</b>."</i>
I like that about Poles. I fully expect this team to be at the
very least in the wild card even in this division no matter who
is the Bears QB. The Bears are not your typical shitty team with
the number 1 pick.

With the JF1/ATL rumors starting to percolate, I was running
through some options...
Move up to 8 and their 2nd (Pick 43). Probably not realistic,
but it would be sweet to move up.
Or stay at 9, grab their 2nd, and a future 2nd/3rd. And
probably add some back and forth window dressing in the lower
rounds between both teams.

Talking points on lock. Does no medical testing mean no measure
at the combine? Even Young had to drink gallons of water to get
to that mythical 200.

What if....
Everyone pumps up Drake Maye as the best QB to draft.
Washington trades up to #1 and gives up this years #1 and This
years #2 and Next years #1. The take Drake Maye and Chicago
takes CW at #2. How would that sit with everyone? It would
blow the minds of the draftniks.

If the Bears trade JF then I would hope they get a late 1 or a
2. I would think anything in 2025 would be conditional.
There is also the possibility that the high pick pick is in 2025
and the 2024 pick is much lower. See the Sam Darnold trade
in 2021.

It would blow the minds already blown on every other street
corner in Frisco with a broke off needle in their arm. ;D

I am still a fan of Brock Bowers. So in this deal we part with
JF to the Pats for their #3 and we also part with our #8 as a
gift we get their #3 pick which would give us 3 and 8 in the 3rd
round.
I am still liking the idea of Bowers on the right side instead
of a one dimention TE on the right side. I also am not sold on
Marvin Harrison either.. I like the Nabers kid from LSU better.

No.
New England's #3 is worth 2200 points and our #8 is 1350. Thats
850 which is worth a middle first rounder just going off the
charts. It's probably worth more since franchise QBs are at
stake. And I'm not hearing anyone wanting Fields for a mid
1st rounder. Plus New England might just take whats leftover at
QB at 3: Maye or Daniels.
I know everyone talks about getting another threat at TE. But
Bears can get a late round pick and/or a free agent to do that.
But I must admit Bowers at 9 might be tempting.
MUCH bigger needs in round 3...let's see....defensive lineman
(need depth at DE and DT), free safety, WR (even if we draft
MHJ), and center. Also have needs for a backup guard and
backup HB.
I like Odunze a bit better than Nabors due to his size. But
they are very close. Neither are MHJ's class.
