I went back and looked. Tanor Bortolini and Mason McCormick went a few picks earlier. Cade Stover went the pick afterwards. Then like 8 RBs went to close out the 4th round. SVP went at the top of R5. Honestly the player I would have taken instead of Taylor was Austin Booker. I suppose one of Sedric...

Friend was AD at a rival high school of Deion's charter. Got so much "Coach Prime shaking it up" texts and conversation one day, I asked him give me your thoughts. Basically he'll shake it up and leave it in shambles as soon as it doesn't advance his agenda. Now I hated him as a player, so...

What excites me is year 4 we can go pretty close to Ravens, Steelers, etc model and just go BPA and steal value. We’ll have holes like any team but feel like were close to just stacking talent and competition.

Nope - unfortunately his play did all the speaking.

Slowly.

I think he’ll be solid but was surprised that low. Weird Jerry never came to his high school games.

Benedet might be the Jenkins replacement.

Randolph is good (for UDFA) don't recognize the rest Lots of guys I'd like at DE (you need injury replacements and a pipeline, regardless of Booker): Okie, Watts, Murphy or Murphy S: Bradford, Dent DT: Lovett, Hall OT: Pearl, Greenfield TE: Spahn, Culp, Castles WR/PR: Janke or Janke No Dallin Holke...

I wanted him so badly at 75. This is great!

Was complaining yesterday Pack and Vikes only ones to take Hawkeyes. I’m down with it.

I liked what I saw from Stover and think another downfield TE to develop behind Everett isn’t bad. I’m going to say Austin Booker and if not Dadrian Taylor-Demerson just based on 30 visits. Since that seemed bigger this year than previous. I like Limmer and Bortolini Alfredo but think a 2025 2nd is ...

So excited! Would’ve been good with most anyone being mocked to us but wanted Odunze. Watched more Washington games than I planned and love this kid. Played hurt. Dog at the combine. And wow the interviews. Last night was transformational!

I’m still for starting trades before setting keepers.

This whole Byron Murphy thing is starting to go off the rails. Yes, getting excessive. But I'd be a lot happier with it at 14 than 9, at least. I'd like it better at 14 than 9, but don't hate it at 9 either. There's a lot of love but the a lot of people who love him are have good credentials.

The problem with this is that if you go edge in round 1, the draft is so deep at WR you're going to find a damn good one in the third, maybe even in a trade down from the third. I still think that Brendan Rice makes a whole lot of sense as Caleb is already familiar with him. But there's also somebo...

I'm pretty much make the WR corps like Burrow had year 2 and grab Odunze if he's there. I know DE is a need, but in the Poles era Justin Jones main FA signing and high picks on Brisker and Gordon year 1. Last year Edmunds, Edwards, Billings, Walker, and Ngaukwe (plus an OG) main FA. Drafted two CB, ...

Much higher on Legette than Corley. I don't think Fiske drops that far though as I don't see him lasting until day 3.

Front office said Cutler should be good regardless. So we didn’t give any protection or weapons. Reason QB fails is Bears DNA. Think we might finally break that lack of foresight.

John Ross, et al.

Give me anything besides 40 time for Worthy. Nothing against people who like him as they are posters I respect. I just need convincing.

JAG

So we traded Fields for a pick that come week 6 we'll use on a back up OL or kick returner. This is barely above the minimum we could have traded him for. I am all for Caleb but this is bad return.

Yeah. It was a lot better than I expected.

Honestly, I’d bring Feeney back as depth.

Me as well

Dear god if Feeney is back it means we really screwed up fixing Center again by virtually ignoring it. I'd bring back Mustipher any day over Feeney.

Agreed.

•A solid reliable good Center is priority 1 •If Tee Higgins makes it to FA then I’d get him. •Danielle Hunter Draft: •A center definitely 2nd or 3rd round and I want Van Pran, Frazier or Powers-Johnson. • T J Tampa CB Iowa State (2nd round) • Calen Bullock S Utah (3rd round) So at some point I’m go...

Not just that Ark, trading Fields requires the new QB to not just pan out, but to be elite. Elite play is the only way one can justify passing on a historic trade down haul. And the odds are just very much against that happening. Could it happen? Yes, it could, but historically speaking it's unlike...

Biggs getting upset at people having a different opinion is elite lack of self awareness. He’s a sports writer for fucks sake, questioning Bears players and coaches is literally his job. It's my sense that a lot the old media is a bit fed up with the opinions of fan boy vloggers, twitter kings, pod...

Traded Justin for a 2nd and a future conditional 4th that could be a 3rd if he plays 60% of offensive snaps. Speed. Speed. And more speed. Draft Caleb. Traded down from 9 after all the WRs and Bowers went in the first 8 picks. Laitu was available at 17 but his medical retirement scares us off and w...

How is our biggest weakness QB? Is JF1 a bigger problem than Whitehair snapping the ball into the stands? DJ Moore being the only good WR? Only having one pass rusher on the roster? No, he’s not. We aren’t one player away from fixing this team. We’re 3 / 4 / 5 players away. That’s why I don’t care ...

So do we want to keep same number of roster spots, number of keepers, and 5 rounds? I think we said we'd see how league looked like with 15 teams and make a decision. Just putting it out there.

There's Verse, who doesn't play the run particularly well. And there's Latu, who doesn't play the run at all. I have a hard time picturing either as a Bear under this GM and head coach. So after that, you're looking at Bralen Trice maybe making it to Day 2, or Brennan Jackson and (perhaps) Eric Wat...

I'd love it. But as I think I've said before they consider themselves good to refuse since they have such a rich history (though only one or two years in the last half century).
