Seeing a lot of Latham to the Chargers lately. Unless he's also rising up other team's boards, I'm not sure why the Chargers wouldn't trade back to acquire him instead.

Latham Mims and Guyton seem to have the highest upside so it shouldn’t shock anyone if they go higher than the consensus

I got a little extra hop in my step this morning for some reason. Its finally the day!

Hoping for Caleb and Odunze but won’t be mad unless we completely reach at 9.

Wilco appearing in a Bears thread on a Bulls message board - all my favorite things in life collide.

Oddly I can never love Wilco and I try. By no means dislike Jeff in anyway and like what he does. Whats strange is I was a big Uncle Tupelo fan. The other odd thing the direction Jeff went with Wilco is more my taste. Wilco is way better than son Volt but when they first came out I gravitated towards that first Son Volt album. /rant over

Intrigued about a trade down with NO who would move up for Fashanu (assuming a run on OTs).

Would probably look like this: bears trade 9, 75 for 14, 45 and 150. In this scenario, bears are all but assured to get a blue chip at 14 as Rome, Turner, Murphy and Bowers would still be on the board after the Saints took Fashanu (leaving one to fall to bears at 14).

Would be awesome to end up with a blue chip ant one and a mid 2nd round pick.

Same. I like individual songs. But I can’t do the whole catalog. I like some Jeff collaborations as well. As an aside, now that I hear of a Wilco class existing, sort of throws somewhat even more of a damper on it. Like legalized weed.

I don’t celebrate Wilco’s entire catalogue, but Handshake Drugs is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard.

Ha I get what you mean. Radiohead had that evolution where I loved them but then all of a sudden everyone after OK Computer and beyond thought they were sophisticated music listeners because of their penchant for Radiohead. Granted I was already turning into a old man who yells at clouds at that point so all the young hooligans may have rubbed me wrong. Don't get me wrong, I love the whole catalog (maybe not Hail to the Thief as much) but I still will always proclaim that The Bends was the perfect "Alt" album. Oddly I think my favorite Greenwood thing is the sound track for There Will Be Blood.

Now Back to the draft!

Lot's of great songs and song writing. Sadly Heavy Metal Drummer equals the Deads Touch of Grey. Highest charting but really doesn't show the actual bands skills.

years ago tweedy's wife's club was closing in chicago. wilco was playing for free on closing night. my friends and i decided to go, but they reached capacity. bun e carlos (drummer for cheap trick) went in right in front of us. i was the first rejection. had i been the only one in the group let in i would've said "see y'all later." just then the band emerged behind us from the street with many bottles of alcohol. as tweedy passed me i asked him if there was room on stage. he mumbled something about not having any control over that and walked in. i assume that i/we missed a great show

the jayhawks are probably the only band i've seen more times. saw both bands on a double bill ages ago

Oh, God, what a horrifying story about the closure of the Lounge Ax! I would have been busted up. I was definitely one of those nerds that went to all 5 of the residency shows at the Riv some years back when they played their entire catalog even though in retrospect that seems hilariously unreasonable.

I have seen more Wilco shows than any other band by an order of magnitude, and (this is totally, totally obnoxious, I know) gotten to play with Jeff at a few living room shows due to some people I knew at the Old Town School of Folk Music where I played in their Wilco class for a bunch of years. Through the people I met in that Wilco class I ended up playing in a few different bar bands around town for maybe 5 or 6 years, more or less until I had kids and didn’t have the time for it anymore.

Thats so cool!

The mobility and pocket awareness. That’s Rodgersesque. And just because the defense wins early in a possession, bang, the big throw.

I've watched this video a week or two ago. The kid is the real deal. Even when he looks bad, he looks good. It's also evident how bad his line was, just as bad or if not worse than what Justin dealt with the past few years... even against weak competition. That USC team was truly atrocious, it's amazing they were ever rated in the top 25, let alone the top 10.
