Say big money at Menards.

Menards.

This is Rahimi Harrison-Groney on 104.3 The Score, and we are listening and reacting.

Not reading and reacting, but listening and reacting to Ryan Poles, who spoke today at the NFL Combine as it gets underway in Indianapolis.

Our coverage of this is brought to you by your local Hyundai dealers.

And here's just a recap briefly of what he's talked about so far.

At 25, he's drafting the best player available, he says.

He says he knows a lot of people don't like it.

Maybe one of her names is Layla.

But he is going to stick with his board, at least according to Ryan Bowles today.

He acknowledged Caleb Williams' rookie contract, and I think you said it the best.

No extension talk yet, because they still have steps.

And I wanted to get into that a little bit before we get to the rest of this, because...

You were right to point it out, Mark Grody.

I think another piece of this that's really big is I love that it's a direct contradiction to what he had to say at this time last year, which was steps were skipped.

Embrace the steps.

Well, and that's it.

And I like that Ryan Poles is saying, hey, nothing is guaranteed here yet.

If you want an extension, if you want to be the quarterback, and Jason Leisure was the one who posed the question about the certainty that he thinks the Bears have in their quarterback.

I feel that way, but I also like that the boss says, I don't think you're there yet.
