Re: Different trade scenario
I suspect that the whole question of WR at 9 comes down to how Poles has evaluated the top of the class, Nabers and Odunze in particular. He might, ferinstance, like what he's seen from Nabers, but might just as easily have questions about how he'll put it together as a pro, based on interviews and ...

Re: Bears sign S Kevin Byard to 2yr $15m deal
I'd forgotten just what a Patricia'd-up mess the Eagles were on defense last year. If there's no catch, this is a solid deal for a massive upgrade.

If we're still in the market for an OT, I like Frank Crum a bit. Lots to work with, and that's about all you can ask for on day three. Crum is athletic and has some physical gifts.

Re: 2024 Combine Talk
I don't watch a lot of college football or know much about the translation of prospects into pros, but with such a seemingly deep receiver class, do you guys think it makes sense to target another position at #9? Or do you think there's enough separation between the top 3 guys (MHJ, Nabers, Odunze)...

Still vacillating on adding Cedric Johnson and especially Marshawn Kneeland. Not sure at "only" 6'3" they hit the thresholds Poles and Flus have in place, but both might be long enough, and Kneeland was certainly impressive at the Senior Bowl. Kneeland's wingspan meets the diagnostic...

Re: 2024 HBCU
I just went back to the HBCU combine results, and yeah. Lots of terrific college players there, but no one jumped out at me (Huggins was never a consideration). It'd be down to a developmental guy, probably at QB or OL.
Ah, well. Saves me from a repeat of the year I wanted Jequez Ezzard.

Yeah, the best way to read a list like this is probably to view it as a breakdown of players who could force someone to draft them in the first. "Well, we don't really need a CB, but Wiggins should've been gone ten picks ago," that sort of thing. It's easier for an edge player or CB to for...

Re: Since 2021 79 sacks come from Justin Fields holding the ball over 4 seconds
FWIW, every GM Brad Biggs has spoken to at the senior bowl is certain that the Bears are taking a QB with the first pick. Which makes sense whether or not Poles intends to choose one there. I mean, he's choosing one at 1.3 or 1.2 because there are five or six QBs in this draft who're better than Fi...

PFN. One trade: 1.1 (Caleb Williams) to New England for 1.3, 2.34, 3.68, 2025 1st, 2025 2nd. Let's say our big FA signings are S, swing tackle and IOL.
