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 behind...

Outside of QB, my "need" ranking is: Pass Rusher (preferably off the edge) WR OL (doesn't matter if it's T/G/C, but preferably IOL) 3rd TE LB I don't have S or Corner on my list for 2024. DT specifically is pretty low too. They have Dexter/Pickens/Billings/Walker/Cowart. And there's still ...

Poles trades up for MHJ

The dream lives!

I'm gonna be totally honest, I could live with a two-player draft if it's Williams and MHJ.

Defense isn't completely irrelevant just because the Bears are drafting Caleb Williams. Especially when the Bears have done an excellent job in surrounding Williams with established veterans. Alt absolutely will not be there. MHJ absolutely will not be there. Nabers probably will not be there. Odun...

Unless Williams is just completely full of it, like to a pathological level, I think that Poles and Co would have been able to sus out if he's not coachable by now.

I was absolutely convinced that I was the best outside linebacker on my college football team. Hands down.

But what had happened was...I really wasn't. I was 3rd string and ended up getting moved to tight end and even spent part of a season as a very undersized offensive tackle.

I'm predicting 7 I personally would steer for even more. People have been repeating "this is a bad draft at the bottom". I think that's overblown. I can find TONS of R4-5 players I would LOVE to have on the roster. Less so in 6/7, but R6/7 is always a longshot. And even there, the Bears d...

There's going to have to be some wild stuff that happens for Alt to be there at 9. Like historically wild stuff. NE needs a tackle LAC needs a tackle TEN needs a tackle The argument could be made that NYG needs a tackle. It almost have to go like: 1 - QB 2 - QB 3 - QB 4 - QB 5 - WR 6 - WR 7 - WR 8 -...

I'd be 100% on board with this. But I think Jax might have to pony up a smidge more in 2025.

Yeah, Wilson is actually a pretty good fit in Denver. I think he can bring his career back to life there.

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...

It's just so funny to me that RG3 believes the Bears are going to ruin Williams' career, so he's pushing for Williams to take a firm stance so that he can end up with the team that ruined HIS own career.

Bizzaro world stuff.

Wasn't that what caused the Falcons problems in the first place. :D :lol: I was going for a play on Days of Thunder plus incorporating a little Ryan PACE I just watched that movie on Sunday for the first time in probably 15 years. It's such a great movie. Sometimes when my wife and I are trying to ...

I know he's probably too early for a late round "my guy", but I would really like to see Minnesota Safety Tyler Nubin in a Bears uniform. I think he's a fantastic center fielder Free Safety type, and could take over for Byard. Always loved his ball skills. Problem is he's probably going i...

He might be the only person on the planet that still believes Eberflus is even remotely close to the hot seat.

I could be completely wrong, but I just feel like this Murphy-to-the-Bears talk is a lot of nonsense. Murphy isn't even close to what the Bears look for in a 3T. This isn't Lovie Smith's Bears. It's clickbait. No reasonable person would believe that the Bears are taking a DT at #9. It's Edge, WR, o...

I'm hoping for the "drop ATL to 32" scenario because it helps the Bears so much. I wouldn't mind if they lost the #8 pick all together.

If we're not trading back, I'm going to assume either Fashanu or Turner are still there. They would be hard to pass up. You also have 8 OT's going in the first round, which would be an NFL Draft record. Not saying it's not possible. So much talent at that position this year. Overall though, if we c...

He could offer to tear up the contract and take a pay cut / Poles could ask him to take a pay cut if they really wanted to make it work. I just don't think either side is interested and I wonder if he has a future somewhere else as a Guard My guess is that he's claimed by Atlanta. Pace (even though...

I think Verse will be fine and fills a need but I am really turned off by the lack of improvement between 2022 and 2023. He just seems like a 6-8 sack a year DE2 to me and that's not what I want from my #9 pick. In this scenario, assuming nobody wants to trade back, I think I'd rather get Murphy be...

Poles is going to trade back several slots. I'm guessing between picks 15-20. I'm gonna say that the Steelers trade up from 20 to 9, and pick Rome Odunze before the Jets can get him. They give up #20, #51, #98 plus a 2025 3rd round pick. Lucky for the Bears, there's a run on OT's between picks 10 a...

Adam Schefter is reporting that the tampering case against the Falcons may he decided before the draft. He doesn't think any decision will involve the loss of a draft pick, especially a 1st rounder. However, he believes it possible that the Falcons draft pick will be moved from 8 to the end of the ...

I think the Bears end up with two more picks. I don't know if it comes from trading down from 9, or if it comes from trading #75, but I think they come away with 6.

*I did not mock it this way, because it's a pain in the ass

I think he's been in Jeopardy since Poles took over. IIRC, he was quoted at some point as not being very high on Borom.

I could be dead wrong but I get the sense that he has enough EQ to understand how and when to put his cockiness to work. Make no mistake, this is a team full of pros and they will push and haze him until they feel he has earned the right to be cocky. I know one thing — NOBODY wants to go to war wit...

I know, I usually do a 7 round mock, but no one really cares about other picks besides the Bears, so it's too much for too little payout. Anyway, I didn't want the year to go by without doing one, so here. 1. Chicago f/CAR : Caleb Williams - QB - USC As expected. Hopefully Williams ends whatever cur...

Im hearing from one of my sources , ( some guy on the radio whos name I cant remember ), he thinks the Patriots trade back to try and fill a bunch of holes and either rely on Brisset this year or trade back with thoughts of JJ and stacking picks. Either way....Thursday night is MUST SEE TV FOR ME! ...
