Re: 2024 BFO Draft Contest
Okay, I guess it's about time for me to do this. First pick: #1 overall Caleb. I'm not selecting anybody else, because if we don't get Caleb, I don't want to win this thing. Second pick: ~9-20 Latu Verse Odunze Third pick: Rounds ~2-3 Brenden Rice. WR, USC Kris Jenkins. DT, Legette Fourth pick: Roun...

Re: My Guy for the 2024 Draft
Been doing a lot of 3rd round and down guys. Some of the listed prospects may be late 2nd but have a chance to gwt into the third. Here are the top 4 "my guys" and then a list of others I like. 1. Jermaine Burton, Alabama, WR- very good hands, great deep threat, and experienced. Great get...

Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
Not sure that I'd compare Williams and McGregor. To me, he's more like (Chicago's own, kind of) Emanuel Augustus: smart, crafty, and self-disciplined in a way that can be difficult to appreciate when he seems to go completely off-script. No such thing as too much Augustus or too much Micky Ward, or...

Re: My Guy for the 2024 Draft
Both can block really, really well, and I agree that Reiman might be a better blocker. He's certainly stronger. But I completely disagree with respect to the receiving and route running. Despite his athleticism, Reiman seems klunky to me. Not near as smooth as Johnson. And it shows in the wide disp...

Re: 2024 Draft - How Many Picks?
And have the Packers defenses generally been better than ours? In general I'd say no. We have typically drafted much better for defense than they have while they kicked our asses with their offenses. But let's look at another factor. Over the past 22 years where as GB typically been drafting? More ...

Re: My Guy for the 2024 Draft
I'll stick with Marshawn Kneeland and raise y'all Tip Reiman. From what I've seen, Johnson's got Adam Shaheen athleticism: impressive numbers for someone that size, but his play doesn't really bear them out. He's a good blocker, which is absolutely what we should be looking for in a TE. But Reiman'...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
I think Poles likes tough guys who don't count a man blocked until he is pancaked Maybe he can mention that to Darnell Wright and Braxton Jones this offseason and tell them to watch Jenkins to see how that's done. So many times on tape Wright seemed to stop after his initial block rather than go lo...

Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
Leaf had problems that went beyond just his ego. He had significant behavioral issues that the Chargers just flat out ignored. He also got legit fat right before the draft and blew off scheduled visits with the Colts. There were red flags all over the place, but there wasn't as much of a peek behin...

Re: 2024 Draft - How Many Picks?
I still gotta chuckle about how fans want to keep drafting for defense because that's a Bears tradition. So pass on a more elite player at #9 so we can draft two or three more less elite players with a later 1st round pick and a couple day two picks. Quantity over top quality. We already know how t...

With Swift's injury history, we can't afford to get rid of Herbert. In four years, Swift has missed at least three games in three of them.

Joey Harrington comes to mind. Rah Rah Rah on the sidelines, scared shitless in the huddle. The guys you are leading notice that pretty quickly. The other problem with Joey Harrington is that he didn't have the arm strength to start in the NFL. He was the epitome of a system QB at Oregon. Every Duc...

Some Edge stats: https://twitter.com/arjunmenon100/status/1777810913980191168/photo/1 Does Verse's agent run Edge? lol I ask because that chart shows that Verse beats out Latu slightly in Pass Rush win rate.

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 ...
