Damn fine print!!!!!!!! But how did Rivers get the Charges a 3rd round pick? https://chargerswire.usatoday.com/2021/03/10/chargers-awarded-3rd-round-compensatory-pick-in-2021-nfl-draft/ More fine print... However, App. V, §4 revealed that this rule does not apply to quarterbacks. That's all seems o...

For the sake of the children, please don’t

I dated a girl in law school for a long time. Thought I was going to marry her. Then I found out she had a backup Penix most of the time we were dating.

Bears begin voluntary offseason program For the first time since January, Bears players returned to Halas Hall en masse Monday for the start of the team's voluntary offseason program. "It almost feels like the first day of school," said linebacker Jack Sanborn. "Everybody's been gone...

Yeah, I think Allen is a one-year rental. Trade a 4th, get a solid year out of him and let him walk for a higher comp pick. I concur that Allen is a one-off. He won't be worth more than a 5th round comp pick, though, because he's a ten-year veteran and that's where those max out. Players who have t...

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 tha...

why this absurd fascination with the WR position? the Bears have DJ Moore & Keenan Allen and whoever is the QB will only have so many throws a game to share the ball with the WR's, TE's and RB's if they want to get WR help in later rounds, fine ... but to use the #9 pick on a WR would be absolu...

Over the weekend I looked a lot at the WRs I do like him a lot more now.

I think we're going to find someone of impact at 9. If we can get Odunze or Nabors---boom you take him. If they're gone, you get the best Edge Rusher available. What do you guys think of this? What about trading up from 75 after having done the above? Maybe you get your Edge guy and then move up co...

I have a few but one of my favorites (keep in mind we are degenerate assholes) was Arian Race (had Arian Foster as my RB) :lol: In my university days anyone could put a team together to play intra-mural sports on a Sunday afternoon. Some of the names for teams people came up with were great. One of...

You’re right I was thinking it was the second round but third is the highest.

Given that they haven't given 13 to Allen yet, I think they will be holding it for CW. Plus the more I think about it, I think the plan is to let Allen walk at year's end. They traded a 4th round pick for him to give CW a stud duo at WR to help him get ready for the NFL. He's far more valuable to C...

Maybe those that repurposed their Trubisky jerseys by covering up the name and 0 can once again repurpose and just change the name.

Yea I feel like there's a lot of "legacy trope" stuff going on with the whole "it's the engine that makes the defense go!" bit. DL pressure is the engine that makes the defense go, as Montez Sweat showed us all last year. And pressure up the middle is always, in any defense, a l...

That we traded a 5th round pick for Bates doesn't necessarily mean anymore than he was brought in to be the first off the bench sub for all three OL positions or competes to start somewhere something no 5th round rookie would be capable of doing as well. Given the injury histories of our starting O...

I couldn't sleep last night, so I came out and did a Mock Draft with PFN. In it, I was offered a trade by the Rams: the #9 pick for the Rams 19, 52, 155, and next year's second. I took it and came away with 19--WR-Brian Thomas; 52--DE Bralen Trice; 75--DT Braden Fiske; 122--OC Beaux Limmer; and 155...

Yeah, but if you choose to define adversity like that , then that's a criticism of like 98% of the kids getting drafted. And then, what's the point? "I'm unsure of Caleb Williams as a prospect because he's never had a terminal illness." Actually, probably the best answer would have been, ...

The whole point of the commentator's comment was that good players find ways to put chips on their shoulder by creating a sense of being disrespected. They invent or imagine adversity to motivate themselves...that's literally what the speaker is saying Caleb hasn't done and that is literally what C...

Added JC Latham to the list. Man, I wonder why no Byron Murphy II....I'm really feeling like a trade back to around #12 and then a selection of the best 3T in the class would be the best call here. I wonder if they're genuinely not interested or if possibly they are trying to conceal their interest...

https://x.com/CALEBcsw/status/1777774121109135384 Wow. I'm sorry, but Wow. So Caleb experienced adversity because he didn't start as a Freshman, he got a hammy, and he finished 7-5 in his last year? I think Caleb's defon of "adversity" greatly differs from mine. Rusty's take makes sense t...

Looks like #13 is up for grabs.

Why can’t we have a friendly, on going discussion without upsetting people? There’s really very little to talk about, and it’s completely cordial. Maybe the ones who “need to move on” are the ones who are still triggered by a cordial conversation? I’d understand if there was bickering and all that ...

I agree

Worst case: the top 3 WRs and Alt are taken along with 4 QBs by the time the Bears pick. What then? Maybe trade to the 12 to 14 range for a team looking for the top CB, an OT, or someone wanting to roll the dice on Nix/Penix and get another 3rd? Trade down to 16 to 19 and get a 2nd? I'm in the mino...

For fuck's sake how many thread to we need to derail into this tired ass argument we've been through already. dplank, yogi and I all to some degree think trading Fields for a 6th wasn't a good move. We've heard all the arguments why on both sides enough that it's gotten threads locked. Can we all pl...

I go back and forth on it. If Sheldon starts he is the backup at all 3 IOL spots. Someone goes down, you plug him into that spot and everything else remains the same. I like that aspect. If Bates is your starter, Sheldon is the backup center. Bates goes down, you plug and play. The problem is Bates...

Don't overdraft for a position of need when there are far better players still on the board. Theres something to be said for this. Top 10 talent is top 10 talent. We have two opportunities to pick blue-chippers, so that’s what we ought to do. Let’s go BPA. We don’t know the next time we’ll be picki...

Am I the only one who think Bates starts at center? I don't think Poles tried to sign him a year or two ago and then traded for him to have him be a back up. BJones, Jenkins, Bates, Davis, Wright. I like that lineup alot and it should be better than last season. I think Davis is going to have a mon...

His dad as his “agent” still gives me some pause. Not enough to pass on him but I do worry this contract and especially his second one could be a shit show to work out. But I also think having gone through all the NIL it could be a breeze. They could realize the NFL is “very nice” but the biggest p...
