He woudn't have taken Wright IMO if Carter didn't have the red flags. So that's a cautionary tale by my own example on what Poles is capable of doing. I did kind of say Poles took the inferior player out of need, yeah. But it usually works out if they drafted well. power running game w/ quality checkdown options in abundanceĪ lot of teams duplicate talent at premium positions because they stay true to their board. If we're sticking w/ fields and have a creative playcaller i could see it working, though. Is the goal to be better than most folks in Bears receiving history?Īlso, kelce would not be putting up those numbers in chicago. The Bears do not need a corner if Johnson is coming back, so I have no idea why you'd be saying they SURELY should be targeting one. You're not going to draft 'DL' there given last year's investments (assuming this means a tackle) or a safety. Re: your ALLCAPS, if we're talking about a top ~8 pick, OL and WR are also valid targets, but in this year's draft, it does not appear to be a good spot for EDGE. That would be the 6th best receiving season in Bears history. Kelce is on pace for 1,256 receiving yards and 9 TDs. Why? Because he can't beat S/DBs in coverage as with every other TE.Īnd, perhaps my biggest point, YOU DO NOT NEED A TE, BUT SURELY NEED ANOTHER WR, EDGE RUSHER, OL, DL, S, CB. Kelce has been inconsistent all of this year. Kelce looked a whole lot better with Hill causing mayhem. You see what happened to Kelce once he didn't have receivers who can catch consistently. and if there's a guy you think is clearly the BPA but not at a position of need you should be trading out of that spot anyway You said just days ago that poles took darnell BECAUSE of positionĪnyway, i think that position is an obvious consideration if you're not drafting at the very top of the 1st round. Poles will take the BPA regardless of position.

In a vertical NFL, it makes no sense to draft Bowers unless you have traded Kmet first and MHJ, an Edge Rusher, etc., are already off the board.

TEs are not fast enough to blow the top off, nor will they get you those big chunk yardage plays, UNLESS, they have WRs who the defense is fearful of. And as good as the TE is, unless your offense features the TE first and you have a need for TE, you simply don't do it. Kyle Pitts is exactly why you don't draft a TE that high. Could be because of the injury last year or poor QB play though. Outside a very good rookie season, he hasn’t put up impressive numbers since. ATL drafted Kyle Pitts TE at #4 overall in 2021.
