Yeah, and that's one thing that if you're going to try to get into, hey, did the Bears draft well or not?

Again, we're not going to know for a few years.

One thing I don't think they really read well was they didn't read the draft well.

They didn't anticipate who was going to come off the board.

The defensive linemen, I felt like they were coming off the board every other pick.

And at some point,

you might that you have that extra pick you might want to use some of that ammo if you look at your defensive line and say hey we're just not good enough right now we have to go get a player and that's what a lot of the teams that draft well i mean philadelphia howie rosen the guy reads the draft like a book i mean he just knows what's going to happen he gets ahead of it and stays ahead of it and while i don't think the bears passed on a lot of edge talent when they were on the clock per se um

They did pass on a few defensive tackles that I do think I would have been a little bit happier with rather than going for Logan Jones and Sam Roush in the second round.

I think there was some talent there that really could have helped out, especially on the run defense.

But the edge defenders, those guys came off the board in a hurry, and you saw how many trades there were.

You really had to be aggressive and be assertive, and I think that's kind of where it seemed like Ryan Poles was a little gun-shy to really get up there and get ahead of teams.

Well, I'll tell you what, when that pick was made, when that came across the screen, that's where my eyebrows raised the highest on day two.

I thought it was a fifth or sixth round pick.

And it's not that I don't like the player, but really he's a returner.

That's really what I see him as at the next level.

And look, Chicago Bears fans, you guys all know how valuable an elite returner can be on a day two pick that everyone kind of scratches their head when he's picked.

But he does have three return touchdowns over his career, two kick returns, one punt return.

He started off at Mississippi State, and he made an impact there.

He was the second leading receiver in 2023.

He got transferred to LSU.
