Colts beat Bears - who gets the deflated ball?

I do not fault Poles for taking Odunze.

A superior prospect, with franchise level talent dropped, and so we took him.

You take the superior talent.

I think a valid counter argument to taking Odunze is drafting Fashanu (Alt and Latham were both gone). I would not have traded down from 9.

It's a shitty situation and it's making Poles look bad despite all the great work he's done. My thought about the future of this team is that in 2025 we are going to have our QB, probably 3 or 4 starting OL, and a star WR all on rookie contracts and that is a massive advantage.

The whole thing just sucks because today it finally started to look like we could have our Franchise QB Of The Future with talented skill players on offense and a top notch D, but we're going to get sabotaged by the OL every week now.

I voted for Odunze, but if he went #7, we should have traded down to get Powers-Johnson. That was always my backup plan.

 Both QB's were floating some blimps today.

you and me both Grizz. Look at what Carter is doing, he looks solid. imagine what he and DJ and Kmet could do if the OL could give the QB 3+ seconds to throw instead of whatever it's giving him now. 



Rome is great, but rookie Wr's tend to struggle. you paired a rookie qb, they tend to struggle, w/a rookie WR, who tend to struggle and gave them no OL which means the entire O is going to struggle. it was dumb. Could Rome have been a good pick if they had actually went hard in FA or looked to trade w/other teams for some OL? Maybe, but man they ignored it in FA, you couldn't ignore it in the draft like they did.
