@startkyIeorton I didn't have the discipline to do it, but someone should make a positional investment visual in Tableau for each team, by color code. Blue is a top 10 pick or a top of market contract, down to deep red is 7th round/UDFA or minimum salary player.
English
And also a couple second round picks in 5 years is not a huge investment, late round picks in Booker and Robinson are nothing
English
Dayo and Jarrett were not top of market deals they were in that second tier and that's generally worse than just paying the top guys. He thinks he's smart trying to pay an "ascending" Dayo a little less than just paying top market value for Josh Sweat etc.
David@Darnell_is_king
@startkyIeorton Poles hasn’t avoided top of DL market tho. Hes spent big money on Dayo, swear, and Jarrett. Hes also used draft capital DL like Pickens, Dexter, turner, booker, Robinson. Hes just poorly invested resources into the DL but it’s not like he’s ignored the DL room
English
“This was a guy I was shocked that he was still on the board," Poles said. He added, "How is he available at this point? I have no idea".
- Poles after starting day 3 with first pick, trading back 12 spots and selecting Roschon Johnson

The #Bears believe they're getting a steal with sixth-round defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg out of Georgia Tech. Several of his testing numbers hit the highest mark on the Bears' internal scouting scale. My sense is the Bears have plans for him beyond that of a typical sixth-round flier and believe he was one of more gifted defensive tackles in the draft.” -@JFowlerESPN via @espn espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

@MrBradThomas @geoffschwartz They had DJ Moore, had just invested a top 10 pick in Rome Odunze the year before, and they had signed Zacchaeus to be their WR3.
English
@mosconml @geoffschwartz Bears aren’t a great example. Their WR core was pretty sub par
English
So let’s draft someone who won’t have any impact for a few years. Good
SleeperNFL@SleeperNFL
The Rams reportedly considered WR Makai Lemon and TE Kenyon Sadiq at No. 13, but found it "difficult to see either rookie providing an immediate impact" given their current depth. (via @TheAthletic)

@HawkHockey11 @PuckinHostile Probably fair, though I was holding out hope given his rare production in the KHL for his age.
English
@mosconml @PuckinHostile If you’re expecting a star I think you’ll be disappointed. Unless he’s able to shoot over 20% agaist nhl goalies.
English
@HawkHockey11 @PuckinHostile Which way? That he won't be a star? Hard to tell which side was meant since 50% of the respondents replied saying yes.
English
@m_goes_distance You're putting a lot of faith in the government making the right adjustments and the voters accepting the new status quo where a large but incomplete number of people simply no longer work.
English
the idea that AI replacing jobs is "dystopian" is actually cool because it exposes how arbitrary our concept of meaningful work is
-humans used to work 80-hour weeks in factories
-then labor laws happened
-then automation showed up
now we're aiming at 10-hour weeks, UBI, post work society
the most natural pattern is that every generation's "dystopian" becomes the next generation's baseline
hang on, this has always been how it works.
English
If the investments in the DL haven’t panned out, do we think it’s because Poles evaluation process isn’t necessarily the most efficient? #Bears
Kgeyedoc@Kgeyedoc
@Esox52min @usaydkoshul Poles invested HEAVILY in both lines. D-line just hasn't panned out. Sweat: trade and big $$...good not great Dayo: big $$...tbd Grady: big $$...on down slide unfortunately Dexter: 2nd round pick He's also attempted to make trades for big names.

@GBraggsJr23 High protein diet. Low carbs (doesn't need to be zero). Walk a lot.

I tried fasting once ane after 17 hours I started crying.
AZCoolRay@AZCoolRay
@GBraggsJr23 Try intermittent fasting. I didn't think I could do it...but after the first one (I usually do 48 hrs)...the become much easier. Tons of benefits health wise. Just add a bit of sea salt to your water for electrolytes.

@IvyFutures I need a jersey, and I can't decide between PCA, Nico, or Mo.
English
@BradBiggs Who had more influence on this draft, Ben Johnson or Ryan Poles?
English
Taking questions for this week's #Bears Mailbag. Send them this direction.
English
@startkyIeorton Clear weakness that is hard to understand. I'm sure Poles understands the importance of the DL.
English
Two defensive line picks in the first two rounds in five drafts is just not enough. And I just can't buy that I must respect how determined Poles is not to reach for need when he'll turn around and take a punter in the 4th or overdraft Zavion Thomas or Hyppo by 200 spots
Johnathan Wood@Johnathan_Wood1
Ryan Poles has now run 5 drafts for the Bears. Here's a snapshot of what positions he's invested his draft capital in.

@Johnathan_Wood1 How easy is it to get these data for the entire NFL?

@DarrylConrad It was really the guaranteed money in the second year. I don't know that that was necessary for either guy. Had they been one and dones, fine and understandable fliers.
English
There is a cost to spectacularly missing high picks and big FA contracts.
Dayo and Grady are turds that will keep stinking for awhile.
d.@_312DARIUS
What hurts Poles most isn’t anything that he did this weekend. Everything goes back to that 2025 FA class he absolutely regrets it lmaoo
English
@dabearsblog Man, I really need to fire my agent. I'm getting no calls over here.
English
Theinemen will start week 1
Jones will start before the end of the season if not week 1.
Roush will have a consistent role.
Muhammad will compete at CB2.
Elliott will blitz in sub packages
VDB could easily get a role on long passing downs
Picks 1, 2, 3, 5 I see clear roles
English
@startkyIeorton Just revisit and defend a scenario where the Bears take The Haul instead of Caleb, that should do the trick.
English
Cmon i mildly criticized the bears first draft pick i know there's a line out the door
English
Missed exactly one step going into the den. Taking applications who wants to just shoot me now before my back locks up for the next week

Well idk anything about DT van den Berg so here are some notes from Brugler's Beast.
-6th year senior
-grew up playing rugby in South Africa until he was 10
-Thick individual
-Burst off the snap with aggressive hands
-relentless motor
-high football character (used NIL money to buy laundromat and help people in ATL
"Overall, van den Berg was a late bloomer on the football field, but his 2025 tape showed a player with NFL caliber, size traits and effort. He is attempting to be the first South African born player selected in the NFL draft."
Nicholas Moreano@NicholasMoreano
The Chicago Bears traded picks 239 and 241 to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for No. 213 in the sixth round and selected Georgia Tech defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg.
