@BearsCork Really nice list, I enjoyed reading through the whole thread.
I would add one additional guy that I have higher than a few guys you listed. Ricky Pearsall from Florida.
I think he is a similar player to Lad, but Lad is the better player.
@PhiFro51@dabearsblog I don't mind Poles approach either so far.
My disagreement was with your initial comment that Poles is "light years ahead of Pace". Poles has not guided us anywhere other than being the worst team in football for 22 and our trajectory appears similar for 23.
@PhiFro51@dabearsblog I disagree. Pace had a similar strategy in early years.
Tearing it down is not the difficult part. Building something is the hard part, and how many building blocks do you see on this roster?
@PhiFro51@dabearsblog I hear you my friend. But this is typcial expectations for a Bears fan (just like me).
We accept mediocrity too much, and we pump up the upside for guys like Brisker, Stevenson DT's. Maybe one or more will be great, but who knows.
I think we should demand more from GM
@IrishBearsShow An interesting hypothetical is would they view Wilson at 3-technique?
He has similar height/weight/length as Buckner in Indy. Both rely on power and length to win, and both have less than elite twitch.
In recent presser Flus listed length again as a trait they highly covet.
@Peter_Bukowski This is a silly hypothetical. The 2023 draft does not project to have as much talent/depth at WR position as compared to 2022
This is something Poles would have incorporated into his overall assessment of the price vs value for Claypool. Give the guy an offseason before judging.
@kfishbain Do you really still believe this following today's presser?
In my opinion George is more concerned with two things:
1) his work environment and being surrounded by people he gets along with.
2) Seeing his assets passively grow.
