2024 Chicago Bears Draft Recap: Was drafting punter Tory Taylor in 4th round a mistake?
Спорт

Ryan Poles is NOT messing around. 😁😁😁👍👍

Drafting a punter in round 4 with a bunch of actual football players still on the board and a team full of holes…. You had 4 picks and used 1 on a punter. Almost as bad as the claypool trade.
Poles’ reaction to being asked about the Atlanta pick is CLASSIC 🤣
I've seen this Vitali person pop up every now and then on various podcasts to talk about the Bears. I don't know much about her, but I've noticed she never misses an opportunity to take the excitement out of everything. Such a killjoy.

I just love their confidence … Poles really did an amazing job on this one !!!!!!!
The one thing Wanny forgets about the 85 team is the HOF/pro bowl level offensive line. This current team has potential with Wright and Jenkins, but the other spots aren’t great. Big difference. McMahon had a LOT of time to throw most of the time.

The players are there. I'm not sure the depth is there (OL) and we have to wait and see what the new OC looks like. We're finally a position to do some damage BUT... nobody has proven anything yet. Bears have gotten lucky and the real work starts now. I think we're going to see some fun football this fall.

The Bears had a top 10 defense in the 2nd half of the year when they were playing under .500 teams with their back up QBs starting. Only a fool is fooled by the fool's gold

And 7 of their games this year on paper are against rookie QBs, Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson, or like Sam Darnold.
The only thing that bothered me a bit is Caleb mentioned Rome & Keenan, but didn't mention DJ Moore!! That's gonna be your #1 receiver dude, show some respect bro.

He was specifically mentioning new editions that were coming to the bears with him. He worked out here In Los Angeles with DJ Moore recently, they got along just fine.
Our punt game was horrific, we are fixing a position of need instead of gambling on a depth player, i respect it. I love all 5 picks we got. People need to stop sleeping on the Taylor pick.
Beardown i haven't been this excited for a season n along time superbears superbowl
You can’t really slot this Bears offense in, predicting where they’ll finish in the conference. They could be sixth, they could be higher. But there’s so much change, it’s hard to say. But they should be significantly better than last year, and that should make them a playoff contender
I think the punter was a good choice in the later rounds. These Aussie kickers are a freaking gold mine for special teams. Watch the highlights of this guy dropping lame ducks right on the 1 yard line that bounce straight up. Absolute perfection.
No it wasn't. Gill was bad and we needed an upgrade. Special teams is important and Taylor can win us some games with field position.
I think Rome ran 4.45... that extra 10th below 4.55 is significant. But just as important or more importantly, his play speed, shifty moves & route running is really good
If you trusted Poles with the other picks trust him with this one too. Bears were DFL in punting stats with Gil. Hangtime, net yards, and he was putting it in the endzone more than anyone. Getting Taylor wasn’t just an upgrade it’s an 180 and a weapon! Like McAfee said “I’ll pin em, boys you go get em!” Great pick with Taylor in the 4th!! #InPolesWeTrust 🐻⬇️
This video has me hyped seeing all clips put together. This a Classic! Bear Down!!
Now we just need Celebrini.🚨🚨
GMs are in the business of drafting players that will make the roster and improve the team. With punters, there is usually no such thing as a depth chart, those players are rarely banged up and have on average fairly long careers. Also, they are not paid the same price as premium skill position players and great values can usually be found in UDFAs. Drafting Taylor ought to suggest he is next level.
This might be the most talented roster we've had since the 85 team man I'm excited WOW let's go 😁 we are going to take the north and never give it back "Ryan Poles"
Rome ran 4.47 and 4.45 at 6'3 215. Exactly the type of receiver we needed

I was at a talkin sports bar, and the bartender made a very good point She said CW will get every damn call from the officials. She said Fields never did get the benefit of the doubt. She is absolutely right. Hell we gonna win 4 or 5 games this year because of favorable officiating. Hell why can't we just be honest about everything?

"We gonna tear it up, man". Still so stoked about the tools we picked up.
Anyone thinking drafting the top punter of the last decade isn't important - has forgotten how important field position is to the NFL game. Think Ray Guy of the Raiders.
I see a Brian Picollo and Gayle Sayers type relationship! : )
jay cutler won us a divisional round playoff game!
Gotta love this brotherhood. The arrival of a new era in Chicago football. Bear Down!!!

Ryan Poles is coming to Chicago baby
No this kid is allegedly the best P in 10 years so no it is not a waste..... if he is a starter and he will be as our former P Gill was trash (he was ranked 26th or 27th). He can be a 2or 3 time pro bowler and along with a QB withHOF skill and Rome a WR of HOF talent the Bears can now be feared at QB and that has never been the cas ein our 100 years. Next season we have 10 or 11 picks so they can load up on D line and O line. An WHEN not If Cunningham gets hired as a GM we get 2 3rd round picks. We still have CAR 2nd rounder next year.
Schrock AND Winnie!? Love it!
Carmie V always lights up like a Christmas tree when she talks about her Vikings
Where’s Spiegs?
Nice pick at punter...
GOOD to see Coach Wanna.
If Rome learns from the top receivers in the NFL from TJ and from Keenan Allen, he is going to be a very very deadly receiver in the future
Look at the video title after the best draft for decades 😂
So Ryan Pace did help us out lmfao
I like how Eberflus kept the team together last season. There were a lot of crazy things that happened to this team & it was a miracle that they were in the race until the last couple of games.
Carmen's insight and assessment of a player's skill and possible impact is never on point. She is much better when she just reports "what she heard" from around the league.
I think Caleb like Ryan Poles more then Eberflus.

The Bears offense on paper standpoint is top 2 maybe #1. Come on. Now they just need to gel and perform to prove it out. On paper Top 2.
Is Vitali building up Sam Darnold? Lol
Ah, Suitcase Dave. He's coached for everybody. 😎

Hey FAM, Johnny Morris was a half back/receiver, so don't laugh. Opposing teams ACTUALLY played DEFENSE.
The Viking ls are a good team 😂
Top 6 offense? Last year the Bears fans set themselves up for disappointment by seriously overrating the team's talent. Now doing it again.
Strictly regarding all the glowing "personality" hype spouted here, how different was Fields when he was drafted as THE GUY?
Recap: Drafted a punter in the 4th 🤣
"...more conservative" with a qb on 4th down due to having a good punter? What's she talking about? Maybe I'm missing something.

Think they meant they dont have to be risky because the big Aussy can flip the field even from the 10 yard line.
Don't sleep on the 24 Bears defense either. They're not the Shuffling crew like the 85 D, but they are good enough to become the best D in 2024. This is NOT the 6th best team. Time will tell but with proper coaching, and play calling the Bears are as good as anyone in the league.

Taylor will probably be a better pick than the quarterback....
Carmen could never say anything nice about the Bears to get Carmen to give us a compliment is like pulling teeth she's a Bear hater but she's always on a Bears podcasts can't figure out one out
Minny is trash. They struggeled against the Bears with Kirk Cousins and Hunter and now those two are gone and they have a rookie QB. BEARSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dam coach. Calm down.
Packers draft SUCKED ! Morgan at OT a late 2nd or 3rd . Could have had Guyton at O line, or Wiggins, Demean, or McKinstry at CB . Bullard at 58 just an average safety .

Good luck with a 6 ft QB that holds onto the ball too long 😂
