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

With the draft almost here, people are coming up with all sorts of ideas to get clicks Bill Banrwell ESPN: Bears get 1/14, 2/45 and Edge Payton Turner (forgotten about him '21 first round pick who has missed all but 15 games with injuries) Saints get 1/9 and 3/75. Don't know enough about Turner to g...

Re: Jer’zhan Newton

Foot problems with large men are as scary as knee problems for WR/RBs. They are typically chronic I’m more nervous about Latu then Newton from an injury standpoint I think I am as well. But part of that is I think you have to get Latu about 12 and you can get Newton early 20s. So maybe willing to r...

Re: MHJ tanking his showing so the Bears can land him

Let's add to this - MHJ has had 2 top 30 visits - AZ and the Bears. Someone posted that online and said it appears he either wants to play with Murray or CW. CW's dad then retweeted that. I can't imagine how crazy the discord will be if QBs go 1-3 and then the Commish comes on and Says AZ has trade ...

Re: New Bears numbers, so far

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...
