If a WR goes down, we still have a viable #1 WR on the team, along with Kmet, Everett and Swift. In no way is that not acceptable support for CW, that's still plenty. Even with losing our WR1 it's a better unit than Fields EVER had. However, if a Sweat goes down, our defense plummets to a bottom 10...

Barring a team hopping up to 7, I think that's probably the case. The biggest difference in the 3rd WR vs the 3rd DE is that the 3rd DE is going to see more opportunities than the 3rd WR. If you have them graded equally then that's definitely something that will (should) come into play. Respectfull...

Next year I think we will actually be in line for comp picks, so this may work

TMP is right. What in the heck are we talking about Fields in this Caleb Williams thread for - it just pisses people off all over again. Be a good sport Art - just leave it alone. That's the other half to the equation here. Let's not gang up on Plank or anybody else about JF1. There are people that...

One of Odunze or Turner will be there at 9. Take whichever is there and it’s a win.

Several other scenarios were available, this wasn’t a linear choice. Brother, you got to let this go for now. It's April. It was you and me back-to-back to the end on this, but JF1 is gone. I know as Bears Fans our lives have been riddled with QB bullshit almost too long to list and we still bring ...

Imo, Justin Fields’ lack of development as a passer made trading back for yet another “haul” unlikely. A struggling 4th year QB with a 5th year option decision looming likely made acquiring a quality oc problematic and set the stage for the kind of QB uncertainty now facing Minnesota and Las Vegas....

That’s because highly touted QBs still rarely become elite pros. The odds are what they are, and the forecasting is near impossible. Always remember that most GMs had Trubisky a better prospect than Mahomes. Not all, but most. That’s how futile forecasting college QBs is, no matter how much tape yo...

From Aaron Schatz, a top analytics guy at ESPN: 75% chance that Caleb Williams will be an adequate starter, 21% chance that he's elite: "Williams is the consensus top QB in the draft for good reason. He won the Heisman Trophy in 2022 and followed it up with a very strong 2023. He threw for mor...

Well, a first for me last night. Me, being the good husband I am, attend a concert last night of people I knew nothing about and had never heard any of the artists' music. My wife is a country music fan. Me, not so much. It was Ashley Cooke, Mitchell Tenpenny and Jordan Davis. I can say it was not ...

One thing that keeps popping up we seldom discuss is the possibility of using 2025 pick(s) to add another Day Two 2024 pick. I'd like to think that Poles has put that in the hopper as well so if a player he has a 1st round grade on drops to where he feels he can make a trade and get him I'd love to...

I think the best way to mitigate a traumatized fanbase is to wreak havoc on the opponents. That said, a top 5 defense would go a long way towards gratification - if not fulfillment - at least for me. Last year, of the top 9 defenses using DVOA all made the playoffs. The run stopped at #10, the Jags...

If looking narrowly at 2024 season, DE is a significantly bigger need than WR. We already have a top 5 WR duo.

That said, I agree that’s not how Poles will make his decision. He’s paid to think long term and that’s what he will do.

Dude has cinder blocks for hands. I dunno boys, I think I'm falling in love.


Anyone recall if DeMarcus Walker played DT for us last year?

According to PFF - 68 of his 712 snaps were inside at DT.

We lost Jones, I’d like to see that number go up

I think it's Dexter/Pickens, and they should add a backup for Billings in the draft (which should be easier to land a quality player later in the draft).

I don't even think this is true. Quite the contrary actually. It's often that you see a guy who played T in college get kicked inside as a rookie and be asked to play multiple spots. These guys are usually backups who are developing but earned a roster spot, and therefore need to have position flex...

In the immortal words of Freddy Funkhauser...."this is the lowest form of human communication". He was talking about Group Texts of course, but this qualifies

Pretty sure he was pointing at this part of your post sir.... Then he misread or misunderstood what I posted taking it out of context. What I said and meant was Bates is capable of competing and/or subbing at all three IOL positions. That is something a 5th round rookie would not be expected to do....

Absolutely. What I don't want is them getting impatient, throwing a R2-4 at a 3T just because "this scheme needs one!" and then having 3 DTs they spent serious picks on and still don't have a stud 3T out of the bunch. Don't spend a pick because you want something. Spend it when you're act...

I feel like finding an elite 3T is almost as hard as finding an elite QB. There's no Aaron Donald type prospect in this class (at least according to the experts), so chasing that seems foolish to me.

Pretty sure he was pointing at this part of your post sir....

competes to start somewhere something no 5th round rookie would be capable of doing

I just realized I was talking about the "getaway" coverage and not the verdict coverage. I remember being beyond pissed that he got away with obvious murder, and thinking that the law doesn't apply to rich people. That remains true to this day.

Wish I could say I was bothered by this, but I am not. Good riddance. I still remember where I was and what I was doing when he was found not guilty. I was on a bus between buildings on the Anheuser Busch Tour in St Louis. When it was announced we all seemed to shrug our heads in disbelief. Good th...

OJ Simpson has died after a battle with Cancer. That dude just couldn't stay out of trouble, and probably speaks more to his core character than anything else. In my personal opinion he was guilty as shit of the murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. He did that as sure as I am alive right now. Th...

I remember in high school once me and a couple buddies went up to the elementary school up the street to play hoops on 8 foot rims so we could dunk like NBA players. A couple youngsters challenged us to play 3 on 3, which was pretty funny and we played along, but one of the kids was cocky AF so we d...
