Wait a minute.............so intelligence is simply going and looking up stats and then coming to a message board to regurgitate what you see there? Nope i'm definitely not intelligent enough to do that. :long:

No intelligence is reading and digesting information you receive and formulating a coherent response to it.

The more I watch Abdul Carter play, the more I hope he is the pick. Holy hell. Reminds me so much of Micah Parsons (and no, I am not saying he will turn out as dominant as him). Used to play LB and is just scratching the surface, and is still this good. I think he’s going to be unbelievable in the league.
Doubt he'll be there when the Cubs pick...

How about RT- Jones...RG- Wright.....New LT...LG- Campbell .....Bates at C? For those who remember, those who don't remember and the unrespectful ignorant woke, the Walsh's Niners of the '80's would draft Ts with short arms to play G. The reason being that the Ts were already good at pass protection and the concepts thereof. And pass plays being used more often in the West Coast Offense, that actually started with the Cincinnati Bengals, and don't doubt me, for all practical purposes had 4 Ts & a C on the line. Of course, that C being Randy Cross from UCLA. The second team All-Pro C every year behind the great Jay Hilgenburg.
What's not to like? You can thank me later....lol...

This offense needs a serious speed injection of new position players around Moore and Odunze.

They need a SLOT WR that can stretch the field.

They need a need a dual threat cowbell HB that doesn't get chased down from behind by anyone that isn't a defensive lineman.

Swift has speed but he's not an every down HB and Roschon definitely isn't it.

They need a FLEX TE that isn't useless and also has standout speed for his position.

Cole Kmet needs to back burner his podcasting career and spend an entire offseason working with Chris Korfist.

I don't think we've seen, actually i know we haven't seen the best D.Swift because of our OL.
Yet Swift will probably exceed his numbers last year in total yards and that was with the Eagles outstanding OL.

I think with Swift you really have to look at his total yards to understand what he means to any team he has played for. When Swift was healthy in Detroit is how he best fits in an offense, have a powerful lead back, followed by the smaller faster pass catching back.

I can't seem to understand why they don't throw to him more. He's had some of his biggest plays off of catches but yet they barely throw to him. He had 1 or 2 nice plays off of catches last week. For some reason they forget about Swift and Kmet in the passing game.

Kollman think there will be a run on OTs in the top 10 which is almost as crazy to me as banks falling to the 2nd.

I'd be surprised if sanders, ward and hunter aren't top 5. If there's a run on anything, I'd expect it to be DL

Would love it, but I don't think he will get anywhere near the Bears pick at #9 or below that if we win one more game.

I wonder if Banks like Peter Skoronski, a great college LT who is a better fit at OG in the pros.
