Ledarius Mack, Buffalo linebacker (6-1, 240)

Good athlete, but given that he's really sub 5'11 234, I'm not sure what position he is.

Does this help?

Great signing just for that reason alone. hell yeah, he's gonna pancake some 4th string cleveland brown scrub in the preseason and we'll be calling for him to replace massie for the rest of the season. It won't take much. If Lucas had returned here, I think I would have been calling for him to repl...

I get all the oline comments and agree that is a big deal. I just think the mistakes he made were legacy - paying those OTs before last year and assuming they were kind of set for a while. It really tied his hands this off-season, so I understand why he did what he did (and didn't do). I think the ...

We have like 11 picks next year...Why are we so obsessed with not moving draft picks? Actually, with that trade, I see 5 of their own, 0 from other teams, plus 3(?) late comps, for a total of (probably) 8 picks. Slightly less than average draft capital, since the comps don't equal a R4 in value.

Ideally, why not? However, there may have been some serious bad blood and/or loss of trust (in both directions) after the way 2019 was (mis)handled, and possibly the relationship was just too damaged to be workable any more. Completely plausible. Doesn't exactly scream good for Pace even if true th...

No, it is not.

Spriggs, Bars, Coward would be my bet for backups.

The Bears had the opportunity to trade down from No. 50, but taking Johnson was a no-brainer for Pace. "We had some scenarios where we could have traded back out of that pick if we needed to," Pace said. "But when Jaylon was there, we turned the card in quickly because he's a guy we ...

Interesting.
Although a player has to be high enough value for this to matter (3M or so?).
For Ted Larsen (who's on my mind, now that we did nothing on OL) type guys, it's not a factor.

I remain concerned about the RB depth chart. OK fine with the UDFA. And hopefully Nall can play and have some upside (but if he can.. isn't that a bit of an indictment of Nagy for not playing him?). Regardless... I'm wanting and expecting a vet FA signing, and not a nobody. Someone with a year or t...

Fair on having to rely on him - but waiting til camp to see if he's got anything left? Ideally, why not?

Meh. First off, most draft grading is retarded, because how do you in the draft is entirely relative. Minus some very, very rare exceptions, everyone gets better - it's just a question of how much you improve vs your competition. That being the case, there's no way everyone can do an A or B job. Tha...

Somehow (2020, 2021, or even 2022 picks) he trades into R4, maybe even 3

Saw that coming from a mile away.

He held out longer than I expected, though.

I'm not sure if this makes me a bad person, but I couldn't stop laughing when he got to the next level and encountered a DB

Nothing left really interests me much

Metellus, maybe

They must be super OK with the OL right now though. Yikes.

Yeah, I'm not sharing that sentiment, either.

Ifedi might be a solid solution at RG (under contract for only 1 year), but I don't know how the depth can be seen as anything except terrifying.

Definitely a guy I had my eye on for day 3. I assume the plan is to add weight and bump down to 5T DE like they did with RRH, but possible they see him as a Pernell McPhee developmental type? I saw a site/article somewhere that said that. Looking at his size and pro day 40, I don't see that at all....

I'll get in line for that.



It's not my primary issue, but this makes the Duke "We Hardly Knew You" Shelley pick of last year look as ridiculous as many thought at the time.

The 3 sites I rely on have him: 33rd WR = typically undrafted 48 = not even a consideration to be drafted 58 = probably gets a camp invite. probably. 2 secondaries have: 32 = typically undrafted 36 = but 220 overall, which is a high R7 At a quick glance, I can buy him being somewhat underrated - but...

Did not like reaching for what recently became thought of by some as best TE in a weak TE draft.

Weak at the top. But strong in the middle.
Which I why I wonder if drafting at the top instead of midrounds was the right call.

Z Bear wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 5:54 am Eddie Jackson was an injury risk too, how's that working out?

What risk was Jackson?

AFAIR he just had a simple fracture which prevented workouts and he slid way too far because of it.

ILB Bachie, Bradley
WRs - Quez, Hightower, Coulter
OT Heck, Trey Adams
P Mann
RB - Eno Benjamin, Ke'Shawn Vaughn, Michael Warren II, JaMycal Hasty
OLB - Wonnum and a couple others I forget now

I've been saying all along that CB2 is (excluding QB) the position I have the least confidence in, so I understand the JJ pick. Especially in a draft supposedly really good at corner. But for the sake of helping the QB(s) and getting that settled, I would have been more inclined to trade down and go...

I think we absolutely needed another TE, especially after the Burton cut. But I'm neutral/lukewarm about Kmet at 43. I'd agree he's probably the best TE. There's a huge difference in draft value between 43 and R3-4 and I'm not at all sure that the difference between Kmet and TEs you could get in R3-...

Chinn is still there, but would rather trade down than that

Hamler would be fine, though.
