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...

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...

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...

In that interview with Poles and him, they did seem to get along extremely well together.

I wonder how he would survive Flus' "HITS" Training Camp though?

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...

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 ...

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'...

Jeopardy? Borom?

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...

Hey, nobody was worse than me. I pimped him in the first, then we even had a shot at him in the fourth and traded down instead. :ashamed: Worse pick ever in my twenty plus year Picnic Basket. Did you not have Akili in a basket? Nope. I thought he was going to go in the Top 3, and I specifically sai...

Damn.

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...

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...

I am officially out of the "My Guy" business. Last year, I was ALL IN on Adetomiwa Adebawore (AA). I even had some folks on the board swayed. I just KNEW he was going to come into the league and light it up. And if we didn't draft him high, we were gonna miss out. Dude got drafted in the ...

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.

Agreed wholeheartedly, GET ME IN FRONT OF THAT PACECAR!

Wasn't that what caused the Falcons problems in the first place.

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. I call BS to that. Latu had 13 sacks and 21.5 TFLs. Verse had 9 and 12.5 respectively. I'm ...

Oops. I polled on 2025. lol

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/04/21/chicago-bears-byron-murphy-nfl-draft/ There's. That. Name. Again. With Biggs talking about it now, I almost expect Murphy to be the pick. I think Poles (and ‘flus) have basic physical requirements for DL (especially). Despite the tape, Murphy literally does...

They were who we thought they were. lol

Mel was right on Trev Albert, btw. Kinda. I could be wrong, but as I remember it, Kiper was all over him for not taking Trent Dilfer. Albert was out of the league in three years because of injuries, while Dilfer became the suckiest QB to ever win a Super Bowl (with a team other than the one who dra...

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 ...

Please follow up with details :-P :-P :-P :-P So we are having a hearing and the caseworker is talking about how bad the visits are going between mom, who no one can figure out what's wrong with her no drug issues not mental health issues, she is just mean as a snake, and her 17 year old daughter a...

There is a GM named Poles
Who has a clear set of goals
He’s rebuilt his team
So Bears’ fans can dream
Of winning some more Super Bowls

Got any Penix poems?

There once was a man from Nantucket.... lol

I liked the chest bump with the offensive lineman. Reminded me of McMahon.

So haven't been on here in a few days, but I want everyone to know at some point this after noon, I will be working "howler monkeys" into my ruling. (dealing with parents who have had their kids come into state custody and working to get them back so it will be easy at some point to do th...

So the solution is to make Allen a WR/Backup QB. lol

Then I go Jared Verse and Ricky Pearsall, or one of the Texas WRs (who I don't expect to be there at 44).

Now that's what I'm talking about.
