Hahahah! That’s what I’m talking about.
I never trusted Fields and didn’t get his jersey. Last jersey I got was Urlacher. That will now be replaced with #13

I guess the Bears will get the young edge prospect next year. I would go IOL in the 3rd and 4th and complete the offense

Re: Bears 2024: 5.0 It's Caleb Williams time
Is Atlanta going to trade Cousins to the Raiders after one season or something? Why would you draft a 24 year old QB right after signing a veteran franchise QB?
I freaked on Detroit last year with the Gibbs pick, but then the Swift trade was announced much later and so it ended up making sense. There is no such thing like that possible here. I don’t get it. Even if you weren’t sold on anyone just trade out.
I also don’t get the report that Denver had Nix as their guy no matter what. Seems like a weird amount of love to have for that guy.

Let's go Rams! I hope this Bears/Rams thread is joyous with this #19 pick!

29: Chop Robinson to the Lions
30: Troy Franklin to the Ravens
31: Jordan Morgan to SF
32: Ricky Pearsall to KC
I think JC Latham will go in the first round.
probably does but when I typed it out it just worked out that he falls. I don't think he's a top three OT and with how talented the skill guys are, I figured if one of the "sure-fire 1st rounders" dropped, he'd be one of them. I also spent like 3 minutes on this so its probably not close to accurate.
Something I didn't mention because I don't really see a path for it happening but it still wouldn''t surprise me if it happened....if the Vkings passed on a QB in the 1st (maybe trade down to add a second or just take someone like Chop Robinson at 23) and found a way to acquire a 2nd or 3rd to draft Spencer Rattler. I think him getting benched at Oklahoma really hurt his draft stock but he was good at South Carolina. I think if there's a system/team he can succeed with, it would be in Minny and he'd sit a year (at least) behind Darnold
JC Latham went #7 overall. But yeah who knows how these drafts work out. 14 straight offensive players were drafted.
2023-2024 Bulls Prediction:
Regular Season: 40-42

Woldren better not underutilize Odunze like he did JSN.
I would have traded back for a haul, but maybe there wasnt a real market for #9.

21 picks in and the penix pick is really the only wtf moment. Pre-draft rankings were on point with how teams actually valued guys so far.

Has every pick besides Bowers been a QB, OT, WR, or Edge? Crazy but also makes sense.

What's the answer to 99 out of 100 questions? $$$
Those are the positions that get paid the most significant % of cap on 2nd contract. The rookie contract for these guys is the meta build right now.

Isnt Ryan Pace in that front office somewhere? Unbelievable. I like Penix though.

Probably need to call Yannick Ngakoue and get him back here.

What a perfect pick for Jacksonville in the trade back. Love it

Zak Zinter would be at the top of my list. Has the potential to be the most successful OL in the draft
