He doesn’t know Houston GM Nick Caserio as well, so it could be Poles was never sure how far the Texans would go to do the deal. My sense is that Poles is close to Carolina GM Scott Fitterer from years of road scouting and personnel conversations, and he could get a read on exactly what Carolina would do and what it wouldn’t. A lot of teams felt really good about some of those guys, but as you get further away from the combine, maybe there’s a bad pro day or something that turns teams off.” At the combine, I thought those quarterbacks did an outstanding job in their interview process. That had potential to add more draft capital this year, and then the possibility that you’re sitting on three ones in the following year. He wouldn’t be specific on what broke down, but he did say: “I thought there was an opportunity to do something historically pretty cool with a trade from one to two and two to nine. Poles told me he had significant discussion with Houston at number two that could have made him trade down twice in the top 10-with both the Texans and Panthers. The Bears traded ownership of the draft to Carolina, then owned the first week of free agency.Īfter a conversation with Bears GM Ryan Poles the other night, it sounds like the trade was almost THE TRADE.
