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

I want you to go out...and hit the pacecar...
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.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/04/21/chicago-bears-byron-murphy-nfl-draft/ There's. That. Name. Again. With Biggs talking about it now, I almost expect Murphy to be the pick. I get that Flus needs a dominant 3-tech in his defense. But I can think of 2-3 positions we need more than a DT right n...

If the Vikings trade up, and AZ trades out of the top 10, does Joe Alt fall to the Bears at 9? You can't pass on him if that 's the case.

I still say we could improve the team more by trading down one for Drake Maye, and then trading down a couple of spots at the #9 spot. We'd end up with 10 picks, and two 1st round picks next year. One thing I will miss about Fields. Is when he broke the Lions Safety at the goal line. We won't get th...

Random question to all of you Draft geeks out there. Who is the one player, if taken unexpectedly high, could shake up the entire first round? McCarthy? Verse? Latham? Or conversely, who do you see falling out of the top 10, that everyone has pegged there, and why?

Here is something very important to consider. We have Carolina's round 2 pick next year. I am assuming that there is nothing that gives anyone in the NFL confidence that Carolina is going to take a giant leap in 2024. They don't have a 1st round pick this year, and Young REALLY struggled last year. ...

I'd bet a hefty sum that Guyton goes on Day 1. Barton is a maybe, as his arm length probably pushes him inside, but his athletic testing would suggest he's got loads of promise there. I'm guessing Barton ends up at C for whoever drafts him, and he goes on to have a Pro-Bowl level career. As a C pro...

The Marshall Plan wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 4:19 am It's my understanding that Nabers is basically a Moore clone (not a bad thing mind you) and he's 6'0".

Odunze is taller at 6'3".

I like the idea of the taller receiver because it's a compliment to Moore.

I would be elated with either one.

Co-signed

Anyone else getting anxious now that we're only 10 days away from the draft??

1. I strongly suggest you watch the HBO documentary series OJ Simpson: Made in America. It is an incredibly comprehensive series that goes over everything relevant before, during, and after the trial, up until 2018 or '19, I believe. 2. He murdered those people. It's not even a matter of if; it is ...

OK everyone! Who's your horse in The Masters?? Me? I'm going with Scotty Scheffler. He's been on a tear the last couple of years and is currently the World Golf #1 player.

I heard its a REALLY good book too. It's on my short list. I'll watch the series after the book.

OJ Simpson has died after a battle with Cancer. That dude just couldn't stay out of trouble, and probably speaks more to his core character than anything else. In my personal opinion he was guilty as shit of the murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. He did that as sure as I am alive right now. The...
