Generally discord is the place on draft day. I usually miss it because it's always the same weekend as my annual guys getaway and there's just not a lot of cell service in the boonies of oklahoma.

Ha, we all know you live at least 30 seconds in the future compared to the rest of us! You're bound to reveal the picks before we see them announced. :frustrated:

This year's contest will make last year's look like tic-tac-toe. Predicting what is going to happen is going to be crazy hard.

the only way I will ever watch television of the NFL draft ever again is if Mel Kiper has a monkey throw shit in his face, live on the air, every time he opens his ignorant arrogant mouth

At least this year we can be fairly certain that when the Bears draft the network won't be on a commercial break or completely focused on the Cowboys war room
The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. As a coach, I play not my eleven best, but my best eleven.

Will it be the same points system as last year?

I recall doing very badly. I blame the idiot who proposed that system (rather than my complete ignorance of college football).

Should be the same system, scoring-wise.

That same monkey could throw shit at photos of players and be better at draft forecasting than that worthless sack of shit Kiper.

Discord was pretty hoppin last draft, good times
The Jalen Carter watch made it very interesting. This year I'm assuming the Bears keep #1 and take Williams. However, maybe they pull a last minute deal with the Commandos, trade back with to 3 with NE, trade back again to 8 to 15, end up with McCarthy or Penix or something and we'll see Discord blow up.
Where are my old Chicago Bears and what have you done with them, Ryan Poles?

I wish I could join everyone for the discussion, but it seems like I'm on the road traveling with the wife every draft and can't really justify tuning them out for 3 days.

Ah nuts. Well if I don't do better this year it will be lightsabers at dawn!

NOBODY foresaw the massive yield on that trade down from 1 nor did they foresee Darnell Wright last year.

Maybe that’s the thing?

Maybe the Curve Ball this year is Poles does what most people think he will do. Draft Caleb Williams.

I thought Darnell Wright was predicted pretty widely, once they made the trade down from 1. But I generally agree that Poles tends to do a bit of the unexpected (sign 2 linebackers on day 1 of FA last year, trade Roquan instead of extending him, surprise trading for Claypool and then Sweat, etc), and I'm looking forward to him surprising me again this year - whether that's in FA, the draft, or both.

During the game I can't help but be reactionary... but during the draft? Never ever ever.

@Bears Whiskey Nut ruined the Cole Kmet pick for me and I vowed I would never comment on our drafted player until it was not only said on TV but mentioned by someone else in the chat room.

We're big on no Twitter/X/Online spoilers either during draft time.

Also, G08 is in all actually in the future right now ...so go ahead G08 who'd they take in the draft and how did it work out?

No Spoilers... No Spillers... and No Latifers.... Should be the Discord rules since WAB can't be there to save us

Yeah, who is it that is always posting about plays before I see them during games? Can you expand the amount of time you are in the future and go to the draft and let us know what happens? If you can't go that far can you get to the point so we know everything we will be getting for 1.1?

Holy crap I just realized I'm traveling and will likely be in Chicago for Draft Day 1. Will see what that means for where I'll be able to watch it but will try to be on Discord to trade nuggets with you well-meaning clowns.

What we really need to know is if you're getting a puppy this year to name Williams. Watson needs a furry pal!
