@Grizzled I’m going to have to hand my Nobel back at this rate :( “We” aren’t bickering DD, only he is. It’s an addiction sadly, and highly personal for some reason (we’ve never even met lol).

Except that is your personal opinion, isn't it?

Funny how that works.

No. It's PFFs.

Okay.

7th overall versus 10th overall. And Gonzalez's rating in 2021 was considerably better than Witherspoon's.

Plus, measurables fucking matter. That's not me saying that, it's the NFL.

- Gonzalez seems clearly ahead of Witherspoon at CB, so he might be a target.

Spoon is CB1 no matter your personal opinion. I'd be pissed if Poles passed up on a FAR FAR better football player for measurables only.

Except that is your personal opinion, isn't it?

Funny how that works.

Curious what you all think but IMO if Wilson is there at 9 I think we should take him.

Assuming he clears the medicals, absolutely.

He might.

...nah, he does.

Speaking only for myself, I'm not interested in a RB on Day 1 pretty much ever.

Whew! Well, I'll see you our advancing age and raise you a failed relationship, if that helps.

He might.

Players do improve, though.

Having extra draft capital, rosters full of young players, and more than a “go sign everyone cost be damned” mentality is how you deal with the future when fields costs a ton. Fields, no matter how much you or I believe he is going to be the real deal isn’t 100% proven and this team isn’t a piece o...

Plus they want to get PAID to play! "Volunteers" my ass.

Okay, now that's funny.

Calling him a "4th receiver" doesn't really reflect his promise. It shouldn't reflect his promise. It should (and in my opinion, does) reflect his reality. If he manages to outplay Claypool or Mooney, then great -- you've got a find. Realistically, I believe someone would have to get inju...

The Bills run a 4-3, man. He's not used as a 2-gapping NT. If so, I stand corrected. Reading the Bills board it consistently talked about his lining up in the gap at NT. Yeah, Oliver lines up as the Bills' 1T most of his snaps. I don't know that I'd call him a nothingburger, but it's reasonably acc...

Oh, Palmer or Mims would be more than fine with me too. I was just connecting Senior Bowl dots.

Homer has no history of returning punts as far as I can tell. Not in college either. (To be fair, that's never stopped the Bears before.)

Where do I sign? LOL

Another thing to consider that I may have mentioned once - Bears are very short on PR right now. Velus is really the only guy, and they obviously had trust issues with him there last year. The final WR or HB job could be decided by being able to handle that (as the guy or a fallback). Jayden Reed (...

I strongly suspect the NFL is collectively desperate to keep guaranteed contracts the exception and not the norm (there's a word for that: collusion ), but I'm nearly always on the side of the player who's putting their body on the line. On a lighter note: Have we really all given up on Harry? He's ...

I also like Jalen Redmond and Byron Young...but yeah...there's not a lot of them. I think Benton could though. IDK if Van Ness qualifies, but some think he could. Colby Wooden and Dante Stills are two hidden 3T guys that have over 700 snaps from B gap. Yes, both need to.put on a few LB's but the bo...

spudbear wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 12:42 pm I just don't see Poles selecting any OL that high in the draft. He seems to be a find OL value in the lower rounds guy.

I don't know how anyone can say this based on just one draft.

It may well turn out to be right. I'm just not ready to jump to that conclusion.

As always, @Yogi da Bear, I appreciate your passion! I can only tell you what I saw while watching multiple full games of his. He WILL flash - but he disappears for big stretches of time. I've read in several places that scouts feel he has "first round athleticism and fourth round tape". ...

And if you never spend it really won't matter how well you draft, opportunity will pass you by before you're likely to capitalize on it.

Good thing the Bears haven't done that "never spend" thing, then.

Carter should probably be on the list somewhere. What do you think of Colby Wooden sometime on day 3? Wooden is one of my draft favorites and had him very high on my 3T list. He played more inside 2021 and about a 50/50 split last year. He also played more in the 285 LB size too. I think he is a pe...

Benton might be a rich man's Justin Jones and be able to rotate at both 1T and 3T. But he also might not. Adebawore can certainly play inside. White is very much a projection because almost all of his snaps last year came at strongside DE (more or less a 6T based on Tech's defense). He's certainly s...

Nice, Hoog . PJJ, Wright, Jones, Harrison, Bergeron, and Morris are respectively my top tackles. (I have Skoronski at G that could potentially convert to C.) Freeland is likely a Day 2 pick, and it's hard to argue with the athleticism and tools, but he's just such a mess skill-wise right now and you...

I am not personally interested in drafting a CB at #9. It's a big man's game and one should focus on big men. Specific to Witherspoon: he's very talented and has displayed great ball skills, but man, 181 pounds is veeeery skinny. Not Emmanuel Forbes skinny, but skinny. The game tape is good, but it'...

Tuli Tuipulotu, DT, USC Gervon Dexter Sr., DT, Florida State Tuli weighed in at 260 at the Combine - after being listed at 290 at Southern Cal. If he's really 260, he's probably a DE.

I love Ojomo's build, his long arms, and huge hands but I don't know if it's because Texas played him there or he wants to be there but he is usually over the tackle or outside the tackle when I have watched.
