Rome Odunze scheduled to meet with Bears

I sense its time for my annual draft post:

(1) "over reach" is a concept purely developed for the most part by the draftniks. Within reason (no one is taking a punter with the first pick in the first round--unless he was robo-punter, able to down every punt out of bounds at the one.) once the draft is over only the draftniks care about where or when a player was drafted. If you can get an AP C and you are sure, take him 9th. If you aren't sure, take another position. Because over-drafted isn't a thing once the last pick is turned in. (also not a thing---"a value pick" but thats a topic for another day.)

(2) To trade down, lets try to remember, Poles needs someone willing to come up. I'm seeing lots of chatter about Poles being able to trade down as if all he as to do is wave his magic wand, say "Trade Down!" and it happens. I know we all "know" this, and "you" above all other posters aren't so dumb as to believe trade downs happen magically, but we sure like to type it out. Wait until after the draft when we start seeing "Why did Poles take [insert drafted player here] at [insert draft pick here], he could have traded down with [insert random team here] and still taken [insert drafted player here] and gotten a [insert lower round draft pick here."

Odunze will probably be there at #9, but Poles may go DE anyway. That would not surprise me at all.

But how do we NOT know if this works? Maybe we should debate this a bit further and wonder if perhaps this wand is a use once and it breaks type of thing. 

Maybe Poles should just say "Da Bears will win the Superbowl!" But the next debate is should he not specify when to win this Superbowl? Because it could be any year in the future.

This is the type of thing as a group we should come together on. An actual day! Bears stay in Chicago! Who has the best pizza? What colors should C.Wills nails be? Navy or Burnt orange or a lovely collage of those colors.


It is rainy and windy up here in Toronto-Land. I am sitting in a roofing supply store with no customers and REALLY BORED!!

I think nearly  everyone here wants Odunze at #9 if possible. The only interesting question is what to do if he’s gone before #9.
