Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
Feels a bit redundant to Keenan Allen Studies Allen, looks up to him as a model for route running. Can you imagine the influence he'd have on him. I can't think of a better problem to have than more than one Keenan Allen on a team. I have to admit, it's tough for me to think of going WR there, know...

Re: Different trade scenario
There’s been a huge love-hate relationship with that goats.wav for the past quarter century. It was a hilarious embarrassment to many unsuspecting fans through the years. I honestly don’t recall who originally sent it to me. I believe it was Woodk1, Wyrdawg or Urbinator. I remember Woody saying “Go...

Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
Unlike Pace who seemed to fall in love with a specific player Poles seems less tied to one player and more to simply improving a unit however he can. He couldn't help the DL as much as he wanted to in FA so he rebuilt the LB core instead, drafted two DT, then trades a 2nd round pick for a top shelf...

Maybe he was injured, but when Caleb had his pro day, Brendan Rice looked like the galloping gourmet out there running routes.

Different trade scenario
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 con...

Re: Offensive Line thoughts
I believe I'm with HurricaneBear . We all read too much into Shelton having been a center and not enough into what they are paying and gave up to acquire each player. I think it will be less of a competition than we're discussing. Unless Bates devolves into a case of the Cody Whitehair yippers, he's...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
dplank I think you're spot on. I think DE is more glaring than WR 3 right now and into the future, and furthermore, I think you can find a plug and play WR lower in the draft and especially in FA more easily than you can find a top flight DE. And if Caleb is all he's supposed to be, he'll raise the...

Re: Yogi da Bear's Picnic Basket (2024)
Love the trade down and the selection. Latu is a favorite of mine. Maason Smith might be that lightning in a bottle pick, too. I'm not as sold on Rice, and might be talked into a different WR there, but it's tough to know who's going to be available. Limmer is a clear favorite and athletic freak of ...

One of the others, relatedly is concussions. Concussions are always serious and shouldn’t be downplayed. Fu...

I think many of us see what we want to see and read what we want to read, and those interpretations shape our opinions about this guy. I've been trying to find a reason to justify trading off of #1 to myself, looking for something to say "Aha...let's move the pick." Like maybe he'd measure...

Echo that stuff on Tyler Scott. Not ready to give up on him. He really impressed during the preseason. Hoping he takes a big step up year two. Having said that, I’m of the opinion they take 1 of the top 3 WRs at 9 if available. If not, get the trade down.There is pretty good depth at WR in the first...

Over his career, I think I've had K. Allen on my fantasy football team more than half of that time. He always seems like a guy that you think is going to drop off and he just keeps producing. The guy is a rock of steady productivity. Probably why I loved Hines Ward on my team too. I wish we got him ...

Re: Bears Sign Another Center: Coleman Shelton
Overall level of play and depth is considerably better with Bates and Shelton and Pryor. You can withstand an injury and not have to freak out. The other thing is you are more able to draft BPA with your limited picks. Further, if that BPA is in fact a center, you haven't invested huge gobs of guara...

I know this is against what I believe, but I HOPE that they sign Ridley and Hunter. They won’t and I know it. And I’m still going to be mad about it. No, I really think those would be great moves. At that point, you have a lot of alternatives at 9, and with all of the pass rusher activity we're see...
