I dreamt that I was at some huge party and the Bears drafted Caleb, some 5’10.5 275 MLB, and Marvin Harrison 1, 2, 3. I was also hanging out with Ryan Poles, sorta (although he looked different). I asked him what the thought process was behind drafting the linebacker and he told me but I didn’t catch all of it because it was loud and he was talking quietly and I didn’t ask him to repeat himself. Something about needing additional blockers and closing speed and good divisional matchup against divisional linemen. Lol
I also dreamt I had just moved back to Texas (and in the dream I was in Texas, yet I was clearly in the north burbs which one I don’t know, feel like it was Libertyvilleish). Ryan Poles was driving us in a car and decided to get out and walk. As did I, but another direction and I met a girl also walking that I recognized but did not know from some other get togethers. We were hitting it off (walking in the north burbs but also while in Texas) and then I woke up. Busy dream lol.
Anyway, happy draft day (almost)!
-
Are you going to be ok ?
We know it's going to be a tough couple of days but the sun will still come up on Saturday no matter what the Bears do, or don't do, in the draft.
😂😂
-
Ryan Poles stopped the car at a stop sign and got out and walked. We parted ways there where I thanked him for “always being so kind to me”even though I barely knew him. Lol
-
oh god its almost super bowl day for bears fans

Dreams like this is how people fall out of bed and hurt themselves.
Don't sleep in the top bunk until this passes.

When I say Poles looked different, I think Orlando Antigua played the role of Ryan Poles in my dream.

Chatter that the Bears are shopping the 9th pick. I’d be pretty disappointed if they left Odunze sitting there.

Same. If Odunze is there at 9, take him.
-
Agreed.
-
With that being said, if they do trade out of it and Odunze is in fact there at 9, the meltdown will be fantastic.
-
You already know.
I have to admit that, unlike when you said, allegedly, you joined the Marines, I had to look up what your favorite dressing was.

How much weight you need to lose in 10 days?
You may want to start Ubering in a rickshaw instead of your car.

10 pounds would be good. I can do it, though. I can lose weight quickly if I am disciplined about it. The discipline is the hard part.

Fuck man. That salad is gonna taste awful when Goodell gets up there and says "The Chicago Bears have traded the 9th pick in the draft..."

If you want to join me at the gym before the draft, you better get moving. We have playoff hockey starting at 6 and 630 with the draft at 7.

Good solid coverage, but not “drenched.”

Niners said to be willing to part with Deebo or Aiyuk to move up. Deebo is literally my favorite non-Bear in the league and Aiyuk is awesome, but I’d rather stick with Odunze. Have a good feeling about that kid and he’s way cheaper. If the Bears didn’t trade for Keenan Allen, id be more open to it.

What’s wrong with adding another? Allen is getting older, and may only be a Bear for one year.

Caleb’s nails appear to be silver for those who are curious!

Ah good point, I do think odunze will be a stud btw
I wouldn't be upset if they picked up Troy Franklin in later rounds though

Apparently the Bills will be “willing to move heaven and earth” to get Odunze.

Just start picking guys

My cousin lives in Bloomfield Hills, just north of Detroit. Should have gone up for the draft!

That's what happens when Ryan Pace is part of your organization.

Hopefully QB18 can make quick reads and get rid of the ball fast. He's going to need to.

Gotta reiterate: what the fuck are the Falcons doing?
Truly one of the most inexplicable draft picks in recent memory. In any sport.
-
Well, the Falcon were smart enough not to trade for Sh1t QB1. Have to give them credit for that.
-
The pick would’ve made 1000x more sense if they’d traded for Fields
-
Caleb was just on with Parkin and Spiegel. I didn’t hear the first half of it, but he presented himself well. Rome Odunze is on now if anyone wants to catch it.
-

Agreed.
-
Parkins just mentioned that Johnny Morris (still) holds the Bears record for receiving yards at 5,059. Rome’s response: “In a career?” 🤣
They asked him to guess who it was and he guessed Brandon Marshall.

Saw this the week of the combine and had a feeling they were talking about Odunze. This confirms it. “If he’s there” seemed a pretty dead give away they were talking about pick 9. And no one has had a bad word to say about Rome Odunze.

Some people thought the selection of Rome Odunze was gratuitous, but when you look at these trios you realize just how good other receiving corps are. This is just the NFC and doesn’t even include Seattle which is about as good as any of these. Really drives home the point that Moore, Mooney, Scott was not anywhere near good enough.

Being drafted at all means you were an excellent college player. Surprised Rice fell that far. I expect him to be a pretty competent NFL receiver. Caleb regressed some without Addison. It wasn’t LSU or Ohio State caliber, but USC had a top 5-10 WR corps in college. That’s still pretty good.
-
Poles needs to get a veteran backup into the fold ASAP. Need a guy to mentor Caleb and win 2-3 games if need be. That guy isn’t Tyson Bagent IMO and it sure isn’t his rookie clone.
Tannehill is out there, go get him. I’d even take Nick Foles at this point.
https://x.com/calebcsw/status/1784370852060180590?s=46&t=taZJ_d5ITWr6Hq3PUZDUiQ
-
I think not bringing in an established veteran to backup and mentor Caleb would be a glaring mistake from Poles.
-
It’s too bad the Bears didn’t have an extra pick or two to grab Rice. Loved the idea of keeping him and Caleb together in the NFL.
