We’ll find out this weekend but I’m betting he falls into the middle to late 3rd OK, I'm game. You're saying somewhere between 80 - 90? I'll say Pearsall goes 55 - 65. He's a savvy route runner, and has good size. Outside of the top receivers, I think there's a sweet spot for WR's in the draft. I t...

You get the idea

Maybe for me it's just not the sexy pick that an EDGE player is. But I get the whole "3-tech is the engine of the Flus defense" thing.

I think my only criticism is that we don't come away with a WR. There is so much talent in the draft this year at that position. Love the Sanders and Oladapo picks though.

I'm sure as a Bears fan, I'm just skeptical and jaded. No way we're actually getting this right. I can't help it.

2 Poles trades up for MHJ The dream lives! I'm gonna be totally honest, I could live with a two-player draft if it's Williams and MHJ. You figure that AZ has their sights set on MHJ. Honestly they need a OT before they need a receiver, but I digress. The Giants would take Maye at 6 as a gift, the V...

I know he's probably too early for a late round "my guy", but I would really like to see Minnesota Safety Tyler Nubin in a Bears uniform. I think he's a fantastic center fielder Free Safety type, and could take over for Byard. Always loved his ball skills. Problem is he's probably going i...

Otis Day wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 8:53 am I am saying 4. They take 2 studs in rd 1 because they can. They like the depth they have now and the other 2 picks are used on what they see as needs. Quantity does not always = quality.

I would at least like to see them trade back a few slots and pick-up a 2nd.

I'm not a fan of the Williams' attitude. Yes he's confident, but it comes across as entitled. He hasn't done jack shit in the NFL yet, and he needs to remember that. This is the first NIL class to get drafted, and I think that one of the major downsides of NIL, is that it has the potential to destr...

I've definitely waffled on this as draft day approaches, but I've found myself now just two days out fairly cemented in the "don't take a WR at 9" camp. We've already done the "super duper offense thing" by adding Caleb Williams, Swift, Keenan Allen, Everett, and Bates/Shelton -...

https://theathletic.com/5431528/2024/04/23/nfl-draft-2024-confidential-nabers-harrison-williams/ Pretty good draft article in The Athletic with quotes from anonymous NFL coaches and scouts. Seems to be quite a few NFL people that like Nabors over MHJ. Most of them feel that Nabors/MHJ are in a clas...

Bizzaro world stuff.

Hilarious. I didn't even think of that angle.

More from Robert Griffin the turd https://twitter.com/RichEisenShow/status/1782515919568421227?t=LMf5oWr-ZOsWxSbYV7Gtrg&s=19 He might be the only person on the planet that still believes Eberflus is even remotely close to the hot seat. RGIII is desperately trying to create a relevant career som...

I'm really excited for the draft, and I'm excited that the Bears believe they have identified their franchise QB. I am still mildly skeptical that Williams will have a better career than Jayden Daniels. Given the fact that the Bears could trade down for Daniels and set themselves up for the next two...

Wasn't that what caused the Falcons problems in the first place.

I was going for a play on Days of Thunder plus incorporating a little Ryan PACE

Hit the pacecar??
Hit the pacecar!!

I know the Vikings / Falcons swap theory is being pushed hard by Mike Florio as he is a Vikings fan. I dont think if you punish the Falcons you reward the Vikings. If you punish Falcons , punish Cousins too. The rules should have to apply to him as well lol Fuck that, punt Atlanta from #8 to #10 or...

I've been running through a bunch of mocks on Pro Football Network, because I'm too cheap to sign up for PFF. One thing I've noticed beyond the obvious talent at QB and OL, is the abundance of safeties that will most likely be available in rounds 3 & 4. I think looking at WAB's mock draft with a...

Great mock! Where do I sign??

If we're not trading back, I'm going to assume either Fashanu or Turner are still there. They would be hard to pass up. You also have 8 OT's going in the first round, which would be an NFL Draft record. Not saying it's not possible. So much talent at that position this year. Overall though, if we c...

Joey Harrington comes to mind. Rah Rah Rah on the sidelines, scared shitless in the huddle. The guys you are leading notice that pretty quickly. The other problem with Joey Harrington is that he didn't have the arm strength to start in the NFL. He was the epitome of a system QB at Oregon. Yes...but...

I could be completely wrong, but I just feel like this Murphy-to-the-Bears talk is a lot of nonsense. Murphy isn't even close to what the Bears look for in a 3T. This isn't Lovie Smith's Bears. It's clickbait. No reasonable person would believe that the Bears are taking a DT at #9. It's Edge, WR, o...

I'm watching video of Jared Verse, just laughing. That dude is a force. I'm imagining him opposite Sweat. That would be insane.

Adam Schefter is reporting that the tampering case against the Falcons may he decided before the draft. He doesn't think any decision will involve the loss of a draft pick, especially a 1st rounder. However, he believes it possible that the Falcons draft pick will be moved from 8 to the end of the ...

Poles is going to trade back several slots. I'm guessing between picks 15-20. I'm gonna say that the Steelers trade up from 20 to 9, and pick Rome Odunze before the Jets can get him. They give up #20, #51, #98 plus a 2025 3rd round pick. Lucky for the Bears, there's a run on OT's between picks 10 an...

OK OK I get it. It is a forced exercise. I was hoping for more of a positional priority discussion. The problem is I've got information overload right now. Alt is the one guy I think from a player standpoint is a greater talent prospect than anyone else we'd have a shot at. But I don't think he mov...

Probably Alt

This.

OK OK I get it. It is a forced exercise. I was hoping for more of a positional priority discussion.

Drafting another DT high would seem to indicate they've soured on either Dexter or Pickens after just one year. That would have to be deemed a significant miss. Moreover, the idea of drafting Murphy would be confusing (this is not a reflection on Murphy, who's athletic, productive, and competitive)...

Our turn comes up at 9. No trading down. These three players are still on the board;

Joe Alt
Rome Odunze
Brock Bowers

Who are you taking? Why?

I'm taking Alt. Jones is good, but if I have the chance to anchor my LT position for the next 10 years. I'm doing it.

There’s a few safeties I like, but I don’t think we should be looking at corners unless we find ourselves back in rounds 5-7. Some guys I like are Jarvis Brownlee from Louisville, Beanie Bishop from West Virginia, Malik Dunlap from Texas Tech, Marcellas Dial from South Carolina, Johnny Dixon from P...

Agreed. I think DT should be one of the last positions that we need right now. We need a QB, DE, S, & WR.
