I brought this up a couple of days ago stating that we don’t know how much power Kevin Warren has and was laughed at. I thought he only had control over the management (stadium, revenue being brought in, etc) side of the bears, but maybe not. Thoughts?
If the old adage is true and you need at least 3 years to evaluate a draft, how can anyone say whether or not Poles has been successful?
Sure, he’s made some clear mistakes, namely Chase Claypool, but anyone that comes in here will make a bad move at some point.
Personally, I think Poles has the right approach to building a team and should be given time. The man had nothing to work with when he took over and spent the last 2 years trying to rebuild his draft capital. It would honestly be reason scummy to can him right as he restocked the picks.
You dont need 3 years to judge a draft and you really dont need 3 years to judge the process. He used his first 3 picks on low-value positions in his first draft and passed on Pickens twice. That is bad process even if he hit on all 3 but he didn't.
