We think Caleb Williams is the real deal. I'm confident most of us hope he is.
We won't know for a while yet, though. We just won't.

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
Man, with seemingly everyone excited about gervon dexter going into year two, i just refuse to entertain DT being our other first round pick, or even 3T being some kind of priority. Drafting another DT high would seem to indicate they've soured on either Dexter or Pickens after just one year. That ...

Re: Day 3 Favs
You never have enough CBs. I'm not advocating drafting one at #1 (obviously) or #9, but wouldn't object nearly anywhere else. CB play is volatile and injuries happen all the time.

Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
I won't say I don't still harbor some reservations, because that would be a lie.
That said, if a different approach to the game can be overblown, old-school football guys will find a way to do so.

Re: Vikings make Texans draft trade, targeting move into top 5?
No harm in seeing what the market will bear. You might land a Carolina-level trade.
Of course, teams always demand a high price, until push comes to shove and the market isn't what they hoped. And then suddenly they don't.

Re: Jer’zhan Newton
Latu is my favorite defensive player in the draft by a wide margin. But I'm honestly not interested in taking on an injury risk. If Turner is off the table and the Bears are targeting a DE, I'm fine with Verse. I like Latu a lot. I just don't expect that the Bears' medical team is comfortable with ...

Re: MHJ tanking his showing so the Bears can land him
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.

Re: Different trade scenario
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...

Re: Different trade scenario
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...

Re: New Bears numbers, so far
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...

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.
