Projects the Panthers to pick 1st overall for the third year in a row. Good lord.

I mean they traded into that first one, but still, woof.

Moved this to The War Room, since it seems more college football centric.

It's wild that Alabama had 33 first round picks during the Big Five era. Just ludicrous.

Feel free to start one if you want.

I've slept pretty garbage-ly for the last two weeks or so, so all nuance is completely lost on me, lol.

Kick-offs will be a total non-factor this year with the new rules.

I thought the whole point of the new rules was to make the play more than just a touchback everytime?

Indeed. I don't see how the new rules are going to be touchbacks all the time.

Should we start a list of all those players we could've drafted instead and what they might have contributed?

Feel free to start one if you want.

Booker will wear #94.

Taylor will wear #19.

Done

This is my favorite draft class in over a decade, but that draft class bombed, so I won’t speak of it.

Sounds like he’s a bit of a project. Hopefully the rest of the defense will humble him and set him right.

Outstanding pick, it seems that all my Sundays/Mondays/Thursdays bitching about not pinning teams inside the 10 yardline/5 yardline may be coming to an end! For real, this guy played a huge role in saving Iowa's offense. His ability to flip fields and pin offenses inside the 10 yard line will be a ...

I unironically love this pick. Taylor is immediately the best Bears punter since Brad Maynard, and hopefully will be a Bear for just as long or longer. Picking two punters in 3 years is rough, but Taylor is a superstar punter, so it’s fine with me. The way I look at it is similar to the Claypool thi...

Fuck yeah!!!! This is awesome!

That is a well worn cap. Do you rub it with 120 grit sandpaper every morning?

Just curious, why is the skyline so important when watching Bears games? How do you focus on that when a game is going on? I don't think it's necessarily about the game experience. It's for promotional reasons. All the skyline drone shots, the improved appeal when selling Chicago to things like the...

The Jaguars will be wearing their 90s throwbacks for a game or two.

The Jets have also gotten a uniform overhaul.

This has less chance of becoming a reality than the White Sox going on a 100-game heater this season. Kevin Warren has determined that pageantry like this is the only way to get Arlington Heights back to the negotiating table. If that wasn't the case, the Bears would already have Arlington Park bac...

Attended a game there, U of I. Leon ( for effs sake forgot his last name, Johnson) muffed a punt, right off his face mask. Hell, I was there but can't remember shit. Bears were up 3 scores and lost. Helluva time tailgating to watch them blow the game. Had to check, it was against the Saints. Bears ...

As a Champaign-Urbana resident, I am looking forward to Caleb Williams' prime playing out at the Illini's memorial stadium.
