There's that name again...

Here I am, working on my annual mock draft, and I mock him to the Falcons at #8 tryna surprise everyone and now it's spoiled.

Don't think he's a Tackle Fautanu can play tackle in the pros. He's got the physique plus decent arms (34.5"). But it would be shocking for Poles to pass on 3 blue-chippers at positions of need and ignore DL for a 3rd rounder in a draft not noted for depth. The Bears have the opportunity to re...

Nothing we haven't been over before. If the top ten go as expected with Minny trading up for a QB IMHO the most likely of the top position players to still be on the board is Odunze. If that's the case I don't think it would be wise to pass on him at all. I still think it might go CW, Odunze, DE/Ed...

Don't see him dropping lower than 19, the Rams need a Donald replacement. If the Bears trade down, it will come down to him, Murphy, Latu, Verse, Thomas, or an OT. I see this a lot, and from the outside looking in, it does seem like a need. But the Rams have been getting Kobe Turner ready to take o...

Maybe his clothing is loose.... because he lost weight.

Kamara is a LB at the next level.

I know it's tough to tell much from photos... but some things stood out. 1 - The offensive linemen look lean. Especially Darnell Wright and Larry Borom. 2 - Matt Pryor is a huge human being 3 - Gervon Dexter looks to be in phenomenal shape 4 - Jack Sanborn looks like he's put on weight 5 - Dexter an...

Early in the year people were talking about him as a top 10 pick. He spent the season moving back and forth from DT to DE and never really settled in. Plus he has a gimpy foot that rears it's head from time to time.

Even if it were true, without giving up next years first, I don't think the Bears have the juice to pull it off.

He's no longer a starting level player, that's been pretty obvious, but the Raiders could've done a lot worse in finding a backup.

Are you drafting a kid whose elite and may potentially become your # 1 WR or are you drafting for your #3 or #4 WR spot hoping maybe that kid ascends to a be a decent #2 or a slot guy? That's the level of talent you get in the middle rounds. Think Mooney, Scott, or Velus Jones. If you want elite yo...

Brad Biggs did his v3.0 mock with the Bears amazingly passing on Naber, Odunze, and Alt to trade down w/Denver for a 3rd and they take Washington OT Troy Fautanu. FWIW Alt, Fuaga, and Fautanu all carry a nearly identical NFL Post Combine Grade. Don't think he's a Tackle I think he goes higher than ...

there is some buzz regarding teams like Jacksonville, Buffalo and Kansas City, which currently pick in the second half of the opening round, which are reportedly working the phones hard to try and move to get a top WR I floated the idea of trading down with Buffalo a while back, but everyone seemed...

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...

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...

One of Odunze or Turner will be there at 9. Take whichever is there and it’s a win. Barring a team hopping up to 7, I think that's probably the case. The biggest difference in the 3rd WR vs the 3rd DE is that the 3rd DE is going to see more opportunities than the 3rd WR. If you have them graded equ...

WR isn't an immediate need IMO. Next year they will absolutely need one if Allen walks and Scott does nothing. I can see taking one at 9 if the value is there (Odunze/Nabors). That's why the 9th pick is so interesting. They very well could need an offensive lineman next year. They could need a WR. T...

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...

Two 4ths as of now.

Pretty sure we just have the Eagles 4th. We sent ours to the Chargers

Yeah we have

RIP the player on the field. The guy... not so much. I had just gone to a sports card show, traded for an OJ Simpson rookie card. It was worth a TON at the time. Came home all excited about it, and my dad just pointed at the TV and said "probably won't be able to wipe your ass with that in the...

I think he played hurt a lot more than we maybe realized... I do think he's never been right since the knee injury last year. But even before that, his career was a downward diagonal from instantly stellar to very good to decent to toast. Yeah, I mean I just think he took his starting streak really...

Dexter/Billings/Pickens/Walker are going to get like 99.9% of the DT reps anyway.

Although didn't Whitehair come in as a rookie and immediately play center, a position he'd never played before. Seems, also, that he did much better that rookie year than he did last year. Just saying.... He sure did. Very impressive stuff, and to Moriarty's point his decline was strange to see. He...

I think everyone is done with Borom but where are people on JT Carter? Is a he a worthwhile project or a target for replacement? I think he's definitely on thin ice. He's not beyond hope yet, but he finally got some snaps last year and wasn't that good. Maybe he needs 1 more year and some more work...

I've liked Myles Cole for a while now.

If the Bears can't land Nabors or Odunze at 9, I'm leaning towards a small trade back and picking Adonai Mitchell. I get big CeeDee Lamb vibes from that dude. I like him and Worthy, they both need some polish but have tantalizing upside. Worthy is one of those dudes that could either go in the top ...
