He's tough and has fantastic hands. I'd prefer someone a little faster but I think he can play a little better than his 4.52.
Someone made a deal with Polk's agent there.
NOBODY has Polk as a 1st round pick. I typically see him in the 3rd round. No, he didn't 'rise up draft boards' like that.
That's NFL Draft Twitter's seedy underbelly. At best, that guy wanted to 'discuss the player' but more likely someone fed him intel on something else to get his guy "in the first round conversation" in the final weeks leading up to the draft.
When you realize how full of shit most of these guys are, nonsense like Polk in the first round starts to make more sense. [Reply]

I'd pay that for Nabers.
But he won't be there. I doubt he gets past 7 if he even falls THAT far. In the lunatic event that 4 QBs go in the top 5, you have MHJ, Alt and then Nabers as the next 3 off the board in some order.
But if we could get him for something similar to the Mahomes Package, I'd do it. I think Nabers is going to be a superstar. [Reply]

We'd trade all of that to get up there and then all watch as they take a LT. Not that I'd be pissed about that but still. [Reply]

Kent Swanson has floated it as well.
I'm just saying...
I didn't realize the bears only have 4 picks. That does change the landscape a little. If they had 6 or more picks I'd think why the fuck would they want 32 lol. [Reply]

Yeah when I first thought of the scenario I didn't pay it much mind because I thought they had a lot more picks...I saw what they actually have and thought hmmm possibly. [Reply]

There’s gonna be a run on WR’s around our pick. McConkey, Polk, Pearsall, Franklin, Coleman and Legette will all go from around 30-42 and it’s going to be based on preference.
Polk is a high floor low ceiling type player for me personally but I wouldn’t hate it [Reply]

Still if your Chicago why not take Odunze. Hard to walk away from a draft with Williams and Odunze feeling light. [Reply]

Because they do have Moore and Allen to get them through the first year if they want and they don't have a ton of picks this year to fill holes. [Reply]

Fair point. I wouldn't rely on Allen staying healthy but that's a solid argument. [Reply]

But why would Atlanta trade from 8 to 32 when they already have 4 picks in the top 100?
It only makes sense for Chicago because after 9....they don't pick again until 75. In this scenario, they would end up turning 9 into 32 and 64...plus a high pick next year. [Reply]

It's a good point and I agree...I'd still try Atlanta and see if they bite, that's what I was saying.
I think Chicago is way more of an option to move up and you lay out why. [Reply]

That begs the question…who do you take there if you’re Veach? It’s the same exact situation as last year. 5 WR’s gone, all of the tackles gone.
Do you reach a bit for Kingsley Suamataia or Patrick Paul? Maybe pull the trigger on Nate Wiggins? Johnny Newton is there too but I’m not sure about his overall size and short arms fitting here.
If I were Veach I’d probably just pull the trigger on Troy Franklin and call it a day [Reply]
