Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
I agree that MHJr is the best bet of the bunch. WR3 in this draft, not so much. Until he is drafted by someone else, I'm living the dream. Stranger things have happened on draft day. I know you are on the Dline train. If the improbable happens and they walk out of this draft with Williams and MHJ, ...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
That's an old and broken platitude you want to use to counter a term that means something different than you're trying to make it. It's not a literal term and not reality when seen this way. The odds of a failure due to lack of talent are far lower with top picks who are not QB. You are always gonn...

Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
You know we need the draft to be here when we are comparing a kid with no behind the scenes issues, just oddness, to the trainwreck that was Ryan Leaf. Caleb is like the other guy from that draft. Did you watch his interview on the Pivot? If you didn't you should its really worth a watch. This kid h...

Re: Jer’zhan Newton
I just don't see Newton happening with picking Dexter last year and we need a DE2. Agreed. I think DT should be one of the last positions that we need right now. We need a QB, DE, S, & WR. QB, I mean technically sure but the card with Caleb Williams name on it is already waiting at the podium t...

Re: Interesting prospect stories
I can't believe someone named their kid General Booty. That's like a bad porn name. Yikes
I hope Bloodsaw is a tight end or rush linebacker. Or maybe a strong safety. That would be fitting.
Storm Duck sounds like Darkwing Ducks long lost partner

I wouldn't be thrilled with moving up, even for MHJ.

It's no more than one guys take on it but it's not an impossible situation to pull off. If Poles wants it to happen and SD is willing to trade for a 2025 pick or picks it's not like it could never happen. I would wonder why SD needing to replace it's two best WR would want to make that trade to beg...

Re: MHJ tanking his showing so the Bears can land him
I dream every night of MHJ in a Bears uniform.
Caleb and MHJ can break Peyton and MHs records.
I think it's a wonderful idea. I'd give up even more than the 2nd next year to get MHJ.

Re: Different trade scenario
Passing on a WR at 1.9 would be alot more palatable if they had a 2nd round pick.
I guess it's a good problem that we are sitting here like, wtf we are only getting a difference maker at QB and either WR or DE this draft instead of all 3.

Re: I think we Bears fans are traumatized
One of Odunze or Turner will be there at 9. Take whichever is there and it’s a win. Barring a team hopping up to 7, I think that's probably the case. The biggest difference in the 3rd WR vs the 3rd DE is that the 3rd DE is going to see more opportunities than the 3rd WR. If you have them graded equ...

I voted middle 12. Rookie QB and new offense take a bit to take off then finish the season as one of the best in football. End up finishing just outside the top 10.

We have 2 #1 wide receivers for 1 year. Receivers take more than 1 year to develop. If you draft a guy it's to pair with Caleb long term. It has nothing do with this season or having 3 #1s this year. Hell, if that guy works out he replaces Moore in 2 years. That's not a dumb move its forward thinki...
