Re: QB Zach Wilson traded to Denver
My nephew in the Denver area was pissed at this trade. He asked if he could change his alliance to the Bears. Told him he just needed to wait and see what is going to happen in both cities. He seems to forget, I guess he is only 30, the dreadful Bears history regarding QBs. That's silly. It's a goo...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
Kind of a forced exercise, because I'm absolutely trading down and absolutely getting high quality offers.

2024 Draft - How Many Picks?
Bears currently have 4 2024 selections.
How many do they ultimately end up making before the draft is over?
Bonus called shot points for any additional info: trade partners, rounds, 2025 pick additions/subtractions

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
If we accept we aren't winning a SB this year (I think this is reasonable) then why would Poles send a 4th round pick for Allen AND draft a WR at 9? If the intention is to let Allen walk, then spending a 4th round pick on him in a year we aren't winning a SB is pretty wasteful. If the intention is ...

Re: Cody Whitehair signed by the Raiders
I had no idea Grasu was still in the league.
He was actually a tolerable backup the last time he got real snaps (2020).
I liked the pick at the time. Had a reasonable rookie season, before the ACL.

Re: NIL and Underclassmen in Draft
For bottom of the roster guys, I would take the older players who did the 5th year. They more than likely are more mature and are willing to bust their ass. I really don't think they consider they will have 1 or 2 less years to play. At the bottom of the draft, you're not asking "Am I going to...

Re: Different trade scenario
I'd love a scenario to move back from 9 about 5 or 6 spots, get a R2 in the 40s, for example: Raiders pick at 13 and their R2 at 44. I would, too, but that requires some luck. By (original) trade chart 9 to 13 is only worth their R3. You'd have to go back 10 spots for it to be worth 44 Standard dis...

Re: Cody Whitehair signed by the Raiders

Yeah, I mentioned wherever else this popped up that I'm kinda surprised he didn't just retire, whether he's got 1-2 more yrs...

Re: New Bears numbers, so far
Yeah, I think Allen is a one-year rental. Trade a 4th, get a solid year out of him and let him walk for a higher comp pick. I concur that Allen is a one-off. He won't be worth more than a 5th round comp pick, though, because he's a ten-year veteran and that's where those max out. Players who have t...

I think there is a good chance to tie that record this year. That's a hard thing to say, because are you counting...
