Re: R1 P1: Caleb Williams, QB - USC
I had no idea this was even a thing. Can McClown actually write? If you mean "is he literally capable of making letters, words, and sentences?", I'm fairly sure he is. If you mean "does he have professional writing credits?", no, I don't think so. McNown later worked for UBS in ...

Re: What about 2025???
I didnt want to start a thread about this, but I was thinking about the QB prospects for next year... And who knows, there's always someone who takes a big step but at first blush I have zero enthusiasm for that group of QB's. I am extremely glad the "lets trade down again and worry about QB n...

What about 2025???
Like everyone else here, I am super geeked for the upcoming season. I believe The Beloved are about to shake things up in a BIG way and I'm here for it. It's going to be a helluva year. But what I'm REALLY hyped for is 2025! Think about this ... by the 2025 draft, CW and the skill position group wil...

Re: R1 P9: Rome Odunze, WR - Washington

For folks who want to know more about Rome Odunze "the person," here is another of those long-form interviews from The Pivot.

Re: So, how do we address our last hole on the team?
I would not be surprised to see Poles do something wacky to get into the 2nd round. Everyone has said that this is a top-heavy draft and there is talent to be had today.
I am hopeful.

Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
... We’ve seen nothing like that from Williams to date - in fact, just the opposite. He’s been attending the Quarterback Collective, in part under the tutelage of Shane Waldron, to get a head start on running the Shanahan/McVay offense. An overconfident player likely doesn’t do that.

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 How do you like this for a Receiver corp...

Re: Odunze or Nabers?
Odunze is my 3 of 3, but Steve Smith is wrong. Rome had a 75% contested catch rate - by far the highest of the Big Three. Agreed. I get that Steve Smith played in the league but almost every evaluation of Odunze speaks of his physicality, strength, and ability to win against DB's. Maybe Smith doesn...

The Bears wouldn't lose that much more revenue if they went with AH and the taxes the school districts want. I figure Warren's playing high stakes poker.
