Turner could be really dangerous and playing 200 snaps shows his stamina in addition to playing ability!

Sanders not going in the first 3 rounds is straight up trash. Dillon Gabriel? C'mon. NFL just being jagoffs.

The only way that kid is going to be good is if he has a nice big slice of humble pie right now. Make him join a team as an udfa.

If he is half the player he thinks this is then this should motivate him to proven all the teams that took QBs wrong.
I agree, but I also think they're doing it just because of who he is.

Anyone that watched him play at Colorado knows that he is better than a day 3 pick. NFLN was essentially raking the NFL over the coals for what they're doing. Daniel Jeremiah is one of the best and had him ranked as the #20 player in the draft and he's dropping to day 3? Behind Tyler Shough and Dillon Gabriel? C'mon man.

I didn’t watch and tried to catch up… but didn’t really see anyone discuss Trapilo can be a fit at guard. If he can swing in the event we need help at LT and also develop some guard skills behind Thuney and Jackson, it’s a hell of a pick.

You think they are trying to be mean? Teams are trying to win. They don't care about people's feelings. Either Sanders pissed people off during the interview process or he was drastically overrated by the media. Or both.

The acquiring team would pick up the contract, but yeah, dumb idea on my part.
I’m not sure they can pick up the parts already paid as part of the signing bonus. I think only the unearned portions of the guarantees. Someone can clarify though cause that could be wrong.

I don't know what they're doing tbh. Word is they're worried about Deion interfering and they think Shadeur is cocky. Look, when you have guys like Eisen, Charles Davis, and Daniel Jeremiah saying the NFL is trying to send a message to the Sanders family, it doesn't seem like it's based on a lack of talent. There is no way I think Gabriel or Shough is better than Sanders though. I don't think Dart is better either. I'm talking strictly about seeing them play. There is something else going on there. Like what the heck did he say in those interviews?

I think the player that will be gone after this season will be Kmet.

Martinez is my RB choice 💯
Raheim Sanders would be a good choice at pick 148. Had a brilliant year in 2022 with Arkansas, then was injured , but came back last year with South Carolina. Plays at 220 and ran a 4.46 at the combine and had the fastest speed recorded. If he's fully recovered, he can live up to his nickname (rocket) and be a late round steal. A power back who is an excellent receiver and has breakaway speed.

Not fast or sudden enough for me; stiff hips. More of an upright, straight line runner who ran through massive holes that his OL created for him. Nothing jumped out at me when I watched him.

Give me Brashard Smith, who's absolutely electric with the ball. Runs hard like Pacheco, but also has the shiftiness and patience to find holes between the tackles.
Isn't Pacheco like 20lbs heavier than Smith?

Don't see Smith as a starting rb.....not sure he can take the pounding.....10 carries and as a weapon.....but needs someone else to pair with to do the heavy lifting

Yeah, that's the biggest knock on him is that he's a little undersized, but he doesn't need to be an every down back if Ben Johnson is going to continue using a 2-back system. He's a really versatile player who would give the Bears some much needed juice and electricity they haven't had since Cohen.
