Bears get top pick

[EnergizedLib]

Okay, Ryan Poles. Don’t screw this up. If you can trade that top pick, get some more picks and find a way to land Will Anderson or Jalen Carter, that’s all I ask.

Bear Down.

1. Was going to say

Well, yes, they usually do.

Congrats, though.

2. They haven't had the number one pick since 1947

I want a game changer, a wrecking ball, on defense.

3. Outstanding. Hope it happens!

4. They picked Trubisky over Mahomes.

I'll make no additional comment.

6. I don't criticize that move for multiple reasons

1. Trubisky was the consensus top quarterback available, Mahomes was a project.

2. Coaching matters, and I question how well the Bears would have developed Patrick Mahomes.

3. Trubisky was quarterback for two playoff teams and was named a Pro Bowler. He also had a great attitude and was a great teammate, just didn’t work out.

It’s obvious who’s been the more successful of the two, but if you can show me an alternate universe where Mahomes is who is as a Bear, without Andy Reid’s coaching and development, then I’d criticize.

5. We need the top 22 picks
