I am getting worried that Poles does not like Fields. This lack of focus on the offense is crazy.
I'm not worried that Poles doesn't think Fields can play, everyone knows he can, I'm more worried that acting like it wasn't his choice is a way to extend his lifespan in that job. Can always just say that wasn't my qb pick, gets to pick his next one, and that gives him 3 more years minimum.

I have seen a general thought, that qbs with coach fired after first year do not achieve success. New coach, new thought on what type of qb needed, less investment. Throw in front office here too like you mentioned. Also new scheme, terms, playbook. Tough to recover from.
Day 3 is underway.
Also apparently Bears traded 2023 6th round pick they got from Chargers in Mack trade back to the Chargers to get the Chargers 2 compensatory picks late in the 7th round.

Here's the NFL.com draft analysis on Jones:
Draft Projection
Rounds 5-6
NFL Comparison
Yodny Cajuste
Overview
Jones has moments where he can overwhelm his level of competition with size and length, but he's currently lacking the technique and force needed to succeed against NFL defenders. Jones' run blocking isn't as dynamic or athletic as expected and his issues with pad level are a concern. However, he has good slide quickness, developmental traits and talent that should not be overlooked in pass protection. Shoddy footwork and a lack of half-man leverage in his pass sets led to a rough game against Arizona State, but both areas are correctable with work. He has the upside to become an average starting left tackle, but swing tackle feels like the safer projection.
Strengths
-Enticing overall size and length.
-Explodes out of stance and into kick-slides.
-Good job of staying square longer in pass sets.
-Quick clinch hands stymie face-up rushers.
-Expedites inside slide to capture the gap.
-Outside hand is firm.
-Choppy settle steps generate momentum into block.
-Drives through play-side hand to secure move block.
Weaknesses
-Inaccurate hand placement in run game.
-Below-average acceleration to second-level landmarks.
-Can't generate lower-body anger as drive blocker.
-Rarely ever low man at the point of attack.
-Inconsistent bringing feet through completion of the block.
-Lethargic hands with spotty punch timing.
-Platform instability leads to imbalance in punch contact.
-Needs to eliminate his outside-in pass-setting approach.
-Beaten inside throughout the game by Arizona State rushers.
