Re: Odunze or Nabers?
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...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
Brett Kollman just released his WR big board (annoyingly in PDF form) this morning and has Odunze 2nd in this class, in the same tier as MHJ. (Nabers is third, but in the second tier). https://i.imgur.com/7dbr8Cm.jpeg Regarding Odunze, this is a small thing but it really stuck in my head. It’s a qu...

Re: Bears New Stadium Nonsense Repository
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. Save and excepting a downtown plan is developed showing significant revenues flowing to the Bears, I don't see how they can walk away from AH. De...

Don't overdraft for a position of need when there are far better players still on the board. Theres something to be said for this. Top 10 talent is top 10 talent.

With the Bears or with Wash, Sweat has been between 64-70% of the snaps in all 5 of his years in the league. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SweaMo00.htm Looking at the O or D as a whole, instead of by position, is a fair argument.

Supposedly a fight has broke out in AH over the Bears' plans.

All-time stupid move right before a draft. Teams maybe including the Bears probably sorry they didn't draft a guy for smoking grass, something not exactly unknown among NFL players.

Re: Bears Big Board at current slots
…I could absolutely see them taking Turner if he's there. Flus clearly likes a smaller guy in the rotation … I might be parsing words here but IMO, you don’t pick a guy in the top ten to be “in the rotation.” A top ten guy ought to be an impact starter. Plug & play (or close to it) on day one.

Re: What would it take for you to move from the 1.1 pick
For me it's simple. YOU DON'T DO IT.
You have the number one pick in a year where the number one prospect is considered special.
Don't over-think it.
Don't over-analyze it.
Don't try to be smarter than everyone else.
Use the number one pick on the consensus number one prospect.
Full stop.

I think Poles will (and should) use his other round 1 pick for a starting 3T and/or LT. And, I think you could trade down a few spots and still land that player: one of Byron Murphy/Johnny Newton or Fuaga/Fashanu depending on your preference and grades. A trade into the early teens would still land...
