Or wife/girlfriend!

That seems really high for a UDFA - unless PS salary can be counted towards the guarantee. 17 wks of PS comes out to 204k. So it would essentially be guaranteeing "you'll at least be on the PS all year or we'll pay you as if you were". But, even so, I feel like the 200k would count agains...

Rome ran a 10.5(-second) 100 meters in high school.

I am stupidly excited about this pick, I hope his game translates to the NFL and we don't try to tinker with his approach too much.

This might become a thing

In some drafts, this would've been a reach. In 2024, the late fourth round is where everyone seemed to start picking RBs and Canadian linemen. Instead of a dart throw, we got a guy whose upside is perennial All Pro. Sure, he's a punter, but he's the only guy picked nearly this late in the draft who...

Isn't that called a D-plank?

HA!!! @dplank

Some quoted excerpts from Bob McGinn's annual anony-scout quotes. “I think he probably came out because the defensive side of the (draft) is lighter,” one scout said. “Shouldn’t have. You may not be able to count on him immediately. He’s a really, really interesting guy. He can be a designated rush...

He'll need to get bigger and stronger to play as an every down DE but for now he's a kid who can bring some pressure off ...

Goes to show what the league thought about Williams' weapons at USC, huh?

MAMA WE DID IT!!!

Outstanding pick, it seems that all my Sundays/Mondays/Thursdays bitching about not pinning teams inside the 10 yardline/5 yardline may be coming to an end! For real, this guy played a huge role in saving Iowa's offense. His ability to flip fields and pin offenses inside the 10 yard line will be a h...

Agreed, guard/tackle etc who cares at this point. All the physical traits are there, let's just allow the kid to develop. Maybe he'll be a starting LT, maybe he's a hedge to Teven Jenkins / Nate Davis, maybe's he's a swing LT/LG/RG/RT. Either way, I am digging the investment on the offensive line. T...

I don't see the Bears making a ton of moves, but my day 2 guy for the Bears is: Roger Rosengarten, OL, Washington 6'5 313 Yes, I want an edge, but this draft might have to be all about Caleb and the offense. Should be an interesting day. Was just going to message you and ask who you liked in round ...

I love this kid

So far, we've invested this draft in Montez Sweat Keenan Allen Caleb Williams Rome Odunze Ryan Bates Some guy from Palos Hills or something N'Keal Harry Even with the last two guys, that list is obscene. Yeah you're right about Sweat being part of the draft investment... so we might as well include...
