Re: Way too early 2024 mock draft

All the boards seem to be getting closer together on all the sites. I still think it's best to trade down at 9 but am going to start using Fanspeak a little more since they have so many boards and you can't trade down. Anywho...... Fanspeak with Draftek board: 1: R1 P1 QB Caleb Williams - USC 9: R1 ...

Re: Way too early 2024 mock draft

Today's trade partners were a little different. I am now thinking that 3 QBs, 3WRs, Alt, and Dallas Turner will be taken first, creating a doomsday for the Bears at 9. I'd still rather trade down to around 20 and nab a 2nd and another late round pick instead of taking Latu or Verse there. PFN 1. Cal...

Re: Day 3 Favs

The fear I have with Theo Johnson is something all us keyboard scouts can't measure....his love and dedication to football. Guys with his size and atheleticism should be dominating CFB, but Johnson didn't do squat at Penn ST. Most of the scouting reports I have read said his blocking effort is lacki...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?

I take full responsibility for the decline of Tommie Harris. He tore his hammy off his femur the game after I bought his jersey. Was never the same again, my bad ya'll.

I learned my lesson, I have now created the Tommie Harris rule where I will not buy a jersey of an active player.

Re: Bears Big Board at current slots

There's a reason Turner is ranked much higher than Latu and I believe the scouts and GMs have identified it as well. IMHO Turner has a much higher ceiling whereas Latu will struggle more against NFL OT than he did against college OL. I'm not a fan of the Latu any longer. I am not seeing where Turne...

Re: Way too early 2024 mock draft

I always try to pick different trade down partners just to see the different options at different spots. To me; trading down and still getting one of Turner, Verse, or Latu is the best case scenario, since pretty much everyone would be happy taking one of the three at 9. Below is the one I just ran ...

Re: Bears Big Board at current slots

Yea my draft right now is: CW, Dallas Turner, Ricky Pearsall, then the biggest, nastiest IOL available (raw is fine, I want size/power and a guy to develop). This is the guy I took in the 4th round above, he seems to fit the Poles RAS deal. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GIhP6p-XkAAB0Yg?format=jpg&...

Re: Way too early 2024 mock draft

I liked this one way too much. I like McMillan as a developmental WR. Nubin could push for playing time. Fiske and Robinson solidify the DL with stout bodies but yet capable of generating a decent pass rush. Wilson was kind of a throw in but could definitely be a red zone weapon. Both guards would ...

While going through the exercise I also selected the the highest rated from one of those slots that was available on all three sites.

Bears Big Board at current slots

So the Jahns and Fishbain exercise in the #9 pick thread gave me a good idea to kill some time with some talk other than CW13. Based off Poles' comments yesterday it seems the team is targeting OL, DL, and WR in addition to QB. Assuming the Bears do not trade I am going to list the top 2 guys availa...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?

Right now I would say the odds are 90% trade back and 10% staying put at 9. Poles does a pretty good job of filling all the holes with bodies in free agency, then builds comp[etition and depth in the draft. Right now the team has bodies at every position (except QB), but need competition brought in ...

Re: Mooney signs w/ Falcons; Bears get 4th rd comp pick in ‘25

Don't think that 4th round comp pick is correct, merely speculation considering free agency is far from over and they know nothing about his playing time or offseason honors.

Gabe Davis, Christian Wilkins, and Xavier McKinney are my free agent wishlist. Then draft Williams at #1 and sell #9 to the highest bidder, hopefully picking up a late first and 2nd. Target the second tier WR group and your center of choice with those two picks and what you get for Fields. Grab anot...
