I don't thìnk so IE... As I've been saying, drafting Carter here where this team has so many needs is just too risky.He has a history that is concerning and now it's possible he is, to put it bluntly, damaged goods. Of course he's not lost and redemption is possible but is that really where this tea...

I think Mazi Smith belongs on this list as well.

I encourage everyone to look into Derrick Hall. He matches all of Flus's physical traits: over 6'3", over 250lbs, HITS principles embodiment and football character. I feel like he's going to get a serious look from the Bears.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution has a full investigative report out today on the Jalen Carter crash. Its behind a pay wall but I was able to copy and paste it before being blocked. I think the story is as expected with a few wrinkles including the fact that the police were considering charging Cart...

I see a serious lack of instincts when I watch the tape.

We got more than that from Carolina since I believe Moore is worth at least a #1 in 2023.

I love me DeWayne McBride. Yes, in Conf USA he wasn't going up against the best competitors but in those situations you just need to see him dominate...which he did. He led the NCAA in yards per game at nearly 155! 7.x yards per carry and 19 touchdowns. Can he catch? don't know, he was barely target...

@BigDaddy @The Cooler King @Grizzled Ultimately where I'm confused is that our base defense is still supposed to be the Tampa / Cover -2. The main tenant of that defense is creating pressure up front via the front four so the LBs can drop into coverage. Now if that pressure up front doesn't materia...

My first post FA Mock. Super enjoyable and happy with this. Trade Back: 1.09 to the Commanders for 1.16 and 2.47 Paris Johnson was on the board but Skoronski, Carter, T. Wilson were gone along with all 4 QBs and Anderson. Washington traded up and selected CB C. Gonzalez. 1.16: Select Lukas Van Ness,...

Fascinating question. He was clean and sober in the wee hours after winning the national championship, but I can see a guy his age in that stressful a situation letting his diet and exercise habits go to hell for a while. They've already interviewed him down in Athens, right? If they're flying him ...

Isn't he requesting a trade because he doesn't want to move to the right side after they signed Brown to plat LT? Do we want to move B. Jones to the right and then sign this recently injured player to a new contract for $20M+ per year? Yes, plus hasn’t Burrow been running for his life the last coup...

Just bask in this a moment. Bears top 3 WR combine numbers: Moore 40 yard time: 4.42 Vertical leap: 39.5" Broad jump: 11" Mooney 40 yard time: 4.37 Vertical leap: 37" Broad jump: 10"4 Claypool 40 yard time: 4.42 Vertical leap: 40.5" Broad jump: 10"6 Those are some pret...

How do you explain paying Edmunds 18M per year then? That flies in the face of this post IMO. We could have had a 4x pro bowl LT for 2M less than an off the ball LB. Because the team only had one linebacker under contract so they kinda needed LBs. Because he drafted a LT already and clearly had no ...

We ought to remember that Poles still knows plenty of people in KC, including Veach. And Veach had his reasons for being completely, absolutely done with Brown. That's on top of Brown refusing, as far as we know, to play the position we need him to. These backchannel insights into Orlando Brown fee...

Is this an upgrade at backup QB? A 2 year, $5M deal is fine and the Bears can save almost $2m this year with a Trevor Simeon release.

Just not sure if this guy will bring the qb room more than Simeon.

I'm in on A'shawn too.

At this point I'm thinking Clowney on a one year $ 12 M deal might be the right call for this team. That or a 1-2 year deal for Ngakoue at around the same yearly price.

Agree, now feel that if Poles hopes to build trust in this locker room he pretty much has to pay at least 2 of the 3 key young guys looking for extensions this of season (Kmet, Mooney, Johnson.)

Definitely would not like him at Pick 9.

Wow. 3 years. Just $11.5M per year? That seems like a bargain for a guy who started 62/63 games over the last 4 years.

Wonder if Chris Morgan wasn't a fan?

DeAndre Swift will still be RB1 in Detroit. I am going to say this is fairly incorrect. He has never been RB1. He got 99 carries last season to williams 262, has never topped more than 151 in his career, is going into the last year of his deal and has been oft injured. Swift is the change of pace b...

Darrynton Evans was an FA, no? So this is your RB3 and assume Evans isn't resigned. Scouting Report Overview: "Run to daylight" back who excels as an outside runner with clear paths to follow. While he can make tacklers miss, his lack of vision sometimes takes him to trafficked areas when ...

Wow. Hope this isn't one we live to regret.

I was watching some film of Edmunds today (and I saw the Briggs tweet). I really think you're on to something there. Cool narrative from an article I saw: URLACHER: “AFTER I GET BENCHED, I’M THE 3RD DOWN NICKEL ‘MIKE’ LINEBACKER.” COMPTON: “WHY DID YOU GET BENCHED?” URLACHER: “BECAUSE I SUCKED. I W...

We all knew from day 1 that Flus valued the Will LB position, almost as much as the 3T. We assumed that Roquan would take that role and when Poles unceremoniously traded him we assumed that the off ball linebacker simply wasn't valued. I think the Edmonds signing shows us that a player with the righ...

I will be much happier if they put Edmunds and that contract at MLB and try to fill the Urlacher role and let Edwards be the WILL. But I also am of the opinion that the WILL is not as important as people make it out to be. IMO Urlacher was always far more the reason for the Lovie cover 2's dominanc...

I can't believe that Poles signed Edmonds and paid all that money for him to play MIKE on a defense which puts all the value in the WILL position. I really think the plan is for Edmunds to take the Darrius Leonard role in Flus's defense. Do you guys see it differently?

Day 2 list:

1. A'shawn Robinson
2. John Cominskey
3. Yannick Ngakoue
4. Orlando Brown
