If all of them are reaches early and there's no way to trade down, then I say reach for a QB like Watson. At least reach at a position that can potentially give you the most return on your investment.USSGlennon wrote:I don't think Foxy is gonna reach for a QB using the #3 pick in this draft.

That would be Mahomes then. Watson is simply the safe choice, but with Glennon set up for this year, you at least give Mahomes a year to learn and developDaSuperfan wrote:If all of them are reaches early and there's no way to trade down, then I say reach for a QB like Watson.

I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

Why aren't we talking more about Marshon Lattimore potentially being the pick at #3?

In several other threads, posters have expressed their opinion that the Bears would be best served by trading out of #3. Often they have been challenged by opinions that no other team would offer anything worthwhile to complete the trade. But I am unaware of any discussion of possible trade scenarios.
I would like to provoke discussion by suggesting a scenario myself, but I can't find anything likely. I've seen Fournette mocked at #4. Is it possible that the Panthers could be persuaded to move up from #8 by not demanding demanding full draft chart compensation?

Or maybe there's a particular CB or TE you love most? I expect a few of them to be drafted 4-10 so the teams in the teens are looking at the third best

I've seen him go to the Bears in a few mocks in the 2nd. But 3rd...no. That's just being different for the sake of being different.UOK wrote:https://theringer.com/ringer-2017-nfl-m ... 5191858e6c
So THIS isn't somebody I've seen the Bears take.

One dude says we are in love with Watson, another dude says no interest at all at QB.
I'm officially at my wit's end. Next Thursday can't get here soon enough.

Ha! Never heard that, but it makes sense. Then again, the London Bridge that got sent to Arizona was a simple, straightforward Isambard Kingdom Brunel joint, right? Whatever replaced the older, cooler, house-crowded one.malk wrote:I love the old wife's tale that they thought they were buying Tower Bridge!

It was a little before Brunel's time, designed by Rennie. Pretty standard masonry bridge from the time. From a quick check, the Arizona one is a reinforced concrete structure clad in the old London Bridge stone.karhu wrote:Ha! Never heard that, but it makes sense.

so here we are, almost at draft day, and I still have no idea whatsoever what the Bears may be doing
we can all usually get a general sense even if we don't get the exact player, and usually long before the week of the draft ... this year, the alleged "signs and inside information" are all over the place
I guess we'll all find out together

The constant flow of BS is killing me. I actually trust Greg, so I fear the Bears shit the bed.
