Big guys on the line
Over small guys who run fast
Trenches win games, Poles.

Moving up to #5 is going to cost next year's #1 and #3, and maybe another pick.

I wouldn't be thrilled with moving up, even for MHJ.

I agree that there's WR available later that should be good. I'd just feel better if we were like Green Bay was last year at identifying them. Sadly, I think the #1 component in GB's success is their coach. He's really good. Big difference between our franchise and theirs, they consistently identif...

It sounds like Ryan Poles understands how important the lines are and some of us here do not. The arguments for taking a WR for the Bears second pick do not hold water. If he doesn't trade down, I foresee a QB, two linemen and then perhaps a WR. I bet you, Bearfacts, that Poles takes two linemen be...

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 ten or more accrued seasons may only yield a maximum of a 5th round compensatory pick, even if their actual value would other...

Good luck getting through, HRS.

One of the reasons I love Dane Brugler's Beast is the history he does on prospects. I really enjoy learning some of where the guys came from on their way to becoming draft prospects. The best story I learned this year was that of Rutgers DB Trevor Yeboah-Kodie , who played RB in high school and then...

Following up on Frazier: he's basically a lighter, slightly more explosive Steve Avila . We know the Bears loved Avila last year, so it's not wild to assume they like Frazier this year. https://www.windycitygridiron.com/2023/2/16/23603133/chicago-bears-nfl-draft-2023-doing-plenty-of-work-tcu-steve-...

I'd take that bet

I mean, it's possible.

I think Fuaga would be an. All-Pro guard next to Darnell Wright. I do not see him as a standout at T on either side, personally. Like most things, YMMV.

Minor notes: Tyler Nubin shit the bed at his pro day Zach Frazier's was seriously underwhelming Nubin (and to a lesser extent Kinchens) will need to be exceptional diagnosing plays to compensate for athletic deficiencies. I'm not willing to take that risk, and I don't expect the Bears to be willing...

And here's the post-Combine, post-Pro Day one.

The second one says "you need access"

That's just for you.

Think it's fixed now.

First 8 picks go: QB QB QB Harrison QB (Minny trades with the Chargers) Nabers Odunze (Jets trade with Titans) Turner So Alt is sitting there as is Bowers, Fuaga, Verse, and Latu. What are you going to do? I say take Alt much as Bowers is tempting.10 year rocks at both tackles. Speaking as one of t...

Legette's story is more complicated than his stats. He's had coaches convert him to RB and a running QB when they needed him, and he's had coaches leave after they recruited him. It took him awhile to find enough stability to allow him to succeed. It's definitely an interesting history. The guy did...

thunderspirit wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 10:48 pm For whatever my opinion is worth (not a whole lot, even to me), this is my pre-Combine draft board.

And here's the post-Combine, post-Pro Day one.

If they're gonna draft someone in the first round as a LT — assuming Alt is off the board — I'd bet their target is Fautanu. I admit I like Fautanu's projection better as a guard than as a tackle, but they're going to love his nasty demeanor and his ability to climb to the second level.

Verse is 23, when he turns 24 other rookies will be 22..It matters, but how much might be exaggerated. Also, look at his 2022 tape. If he came out last year he probably would have been a top 5 pick. Drafting him now, could be viewed as him being even more prepared to start and contribute immediatel...

I love that stupid movie.

Moriarty wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 9:17 am Don't hold your breath on Theo lasting to 155.

Other people noticed his Combine performance right away.

Brugler's guide just came out and he has him at 80

Johnson's a veritable lock for Day 2. (Though there are some football character questions, as I recall.)

The TE I want is Ben Sinott.

I personally don't find Odunze overrated at all. But YMMV.

Except smaller.

DJ Moore right now:

Pearsall is likely a 2nd rounder, but he'd be on my list for sure.

Keon Coleman, like Pearsall, would be a surprise to be there, but his 40-time might depress his value enough.

Tez Walker, maybe.
Jalen McMillan.
Javon Baker.

I'd bet a hefty sum that Guyton goes on Day 1.

Barton is a maybe, as his arm length probably pushes him inside, but his athletic testing would suggest he's got loads of promise there.

My biggest issue with Legette is that he had negligible production in his four seasons prior to 2023 (42 catches in 43 games).

I'm not a fan.
