Fire Ryan Poles | Fire Ben Johnson

The Bears had eight draft picks this year after some trades were made. While I would have preferred the first two picks to be on offensive linemen, Ryan Poles drafted two of them out of the eight. And let’s have some prayer that the cornerback they took in Zah Frazier will replace that douche Tyrique Stevenson.

As I’ve said many times over the years, the purpose of a draft is to have these players contribute immediately. However, the history of this franchise has proven that a vast majority of these picks become busts. Let’s see if that changes this time around.

Round 1: No. 10 – Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Round 2: No. 39 (from CAR) – Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
Round 2: No. 56 (from MIN via HOU & BUF) – Ozzy Trapilo, T, Boston College
Round 2: No. 62 (from BUF) – Shemar Turner, DT, Texas A&M
Round 4: No. 132 (from BUF) – Ruben Hyppolite II, LB, Maryland
Round 5: No. 169 (Compensatory, from BUF) – Zah Frazier, CB, Texas-San Antonio
Round 6: No. 195 (from PIT via LAR) – Luke Newman, G, Michigan State
Round 7: No. 233 (from CIN) – Kyle Monangai, RB, Rutgers

It’s been a rough couple of years for this franchise. While this was expected, it still sucks. “Mongo” toughed this disease out and probably lasted much longer than others would have. The guy is forever is a legend. I’m sure as time goes on, I’ll still play Tecmo Super Bowl and get 30 sacks a season with him. I am very happy he got to see himself get inducted into the Hall of Fame last year.

I just don’t understand this signing. Yes, Case Keenum has had much more success than Nathan Peterwhacker, Trevor Semen and P.J. Walker. And I know our friend Dave mentioned that he would be more of a mentor to Williams and Bagent. But still, leave the quarterback room alone. Call me a Tyson Bagent fantatic all you want. I get that the Bears have had plenty of money to spend in free agency. But this money could be used elsewhere. The history this franchise has had with signing free agent quarterbacks goes way before Poles got here. It’s never really been successful. “At first you don’t succeed…”

Three weeks until the draft.
