Re: Interesting take on Garoppolo

6'2" and 225. Same size as A A Ron and Favre Lamar Jackson, 6'2" and 212. Russell Wilson 5'11" and 215. Deshaun Watson 6'2" and 212. Mayfield 6'1" and 215. I must have seen him at a strange angle then. I was front row, corner end zone the year they beat us behind 5 Gould FG...

Re: where does Rondale Moore get drafted?

He's 5-9, 180 iirc. That would tend to push him down, as would the injuries. I'd guess late 2nd to 3rd.

Re: QB Prospect Discussion: Mac Jones

Here's a pessimistic take, but it's kinda where I'm at right now: I can see us drafting him at #20, Pace and Nagy touting him as "the franchise", and then we find out that his success at Alabama had more to do with the talent around him than his intrinsic ability. Meanwhile, Mitch goes som...

The giraffe is also a statue .. if Glennon plays I predict the Bears' best sack numbers of the year as the Jags play from behind.

We will get Goldman back next year, that’s a big addition to the DL. And I think we’ve found two cheap rotational guys in Urban and Edwards. But OLB is suddenly a need, and we definitely need more speed at WR and RB. And OL is the biggest need - we already have 50 late round projects on the team, w...

Re: So it's time for some draft talk ..

I don't know if I'd say theres a decent chance Pace picks a OT in Rd1. He seems to value building the line from the inside out- the NO way. He does like the inside-out approach -- but he's spend two 2nds on Whitehair and Daniels. RG is a need, yes, but more easily filled with a cheap veteran or low...

I'm not saying crown Mustipher starter, but for what it's worth not only did the line play better with Mustipher making the line calls, but in the off-season Olin Kreutz bworked out with him, and after spending some time with him was really high on Mustipher. So I figure if a former All-Pro center ...
