Last time he waited and got the 4th one.
This time he learned - no waiting and got first choice in a good draft for first choice.

As much as I'd like a C (I worry about both Bates lack of experience and Shelton being a one-year pick up on a cheap contract) the Bears have drafted quite a few mid-to-late-round centers in recent years and none have panned out. The only mid to late C they've taken in 15 years is Kramer at 207 Gra...

I feel like their primary targets are: TE: Stover, Johnson C: Bortolini maybe Limmer, Nourzad CB/S: Hart DE Booker, maybe Jackson, Johnson I'd add Dadrion & McCormick, but not expecting them to get the call Not particularly high on Stover or Hart myself. But the rest of this, I could get behind...

They just traded up to 2.3 for Ruke Orhorhoro. With Johnny Newton and Michael Hall on the board.

QED.

Yeah, he's a contagion


man, the run on receivers continues

Dang, only 8 minutes and I'm still too late.


Still, good to see the Amigos getting props.
Bafflingly underrated movie.

Speaking of Edge Am I the only one who absolutely doesn't get the gulf between Gabriel and Grayson Murphy evaluations?? If Grayson's going in undrafted or late, I'll take an order of that. Both of those dudes have T-Rex arms. What's wrong with Carl Lawson on a 1 year deal like Ngakaue? Maybe Lawson...

Yes, that's what I'm working from.
Scratch the expensive options and then the rest is pretty bleak.

I agree with that take Though it's a bit - He was at the Draft Party stuff that can't help but make it seem like Glennon Yeah, I suppose the surprise aspect of it has similarities. Good God, if you knew you had a good chance of taking Penix, why would you have Cousins at the party? Did he 'invite h...

Maybe Jerry Hughes or Calais Campbell (depending on what he costs)

I think Spotrac maybe is including rookie pool without saying so or separating it out? I think we're looking at 7-10M space, minus emergency pool, so 5-7M to spend? Looking at the remaining options, they're pretty awful. So far, my list is: Smoot or Ngokoue for maybe 3-5M And I really didn't enjoy N...

which I would also like to read

That's sure not the comparison I'd make I mean, yes, you're bringing a FA and high draft pick in together. But Cousins is a highly paid, proven stud*. Glennon was young and a 3rd round pick who'd had 1.5 very slightly promising first years in the league. It was clear as soon as the draft happened t...

The salary cap is pretty confusing right now. Spotrac just redesigned things and it's hard to follow. But, as best as I can read from OTC and Spotrac both, the Bears only have around 7.5M worth of space. Then you need a little room for emergencies. And neither seem to be including rookie pool, whic...

In his last 3 seasons, Jacob Martin has had 7, 5, and 4 tackles respectively. He's a complete nobody. And DomRob is, and I say this without hyperbole, one of the worst football players I've ever seen get decent P/T here in Chicago. I'm probably over simplifying this, but it just feels to me like DE...

Remember, they switched from teams to divisions this year

I didn't get to watch last night but sounds like it was interesting at least. Happy with the picks so far, but dang I wanted Bowers. Oh well.

The Penix thing still blows my mind. It’s like the whole Glennon/Trubisky situation. That's sure not the comparison I'd make I mean, yes, you're bringing a FA and high draft pick in together.

Agree on the offensive orgy and the sorry state of the DL. As unexciting as he is, Martin got 700k guaranteed and is probably here to make the team. 1) Sweat 2*) Walker 3) ??? 4) Martin 5) DomRob They have 1 spot desperately needing addressing and could use 2, if the opportunity is there.
