I’m sure Detroit is doing something special, like serving them cadaver kneecaps and seeing if they’re all in on retiring early and never winning a division championship.
so they're playing darts and putt-putt with prospects.

:jonesy:

I imagine that is how they scouted JF, with a Candyland tournament ?

Ryan Pace would use a Candyland tournament. Poles and Cunningham are more sophisticated, therefore darts and putt-putt. Evolution.

Correction. There are now 2 blue chip players left, Bijan and Anderson, in that order.

And I’m not sold on Anderson. I still say he’s an undersized 3-4 linebacker.
Isn't he more or less the same size as Von Miller, Parsons, and Quinn?

Yeah you think so little of Justin Fields that you criticized Poles handling of surrounding him with talent last off-season. Weird criticism when you think that poorly of a QB…

I guess you’ll take every side of the troll argument when you’re still bitter that Bears fans laughed at your first post a decade ago.

It’s 2023, the year of vagina intercourse. Try it.

He sounds more like a Raider.

He does. Vegas already has plenty of shitty drivers so he'd definitely fit in here. Throw in the Ruggs court case and boom, match made. I will hope that he does not go to the Raiders solely because I'd prefer the quality of drivers improve in Las Vegas rather than get worse.

I don't think JSN will necessarily fall. But the key will be when the run on WRs start. In most mocks, the earliest a WR goes is 12 with Quentin Johnston to the Texans. But he is clearly a flawed player and IDK if the Texans go WR that early. And after that, you don't really have teams with a WR need until the Chargers at 21, and that's probably only if they cut/trade Keenan Allen which their GM made sound like it's not even on the table. Ravens at 22 is an obvious WR spot as well. I don't know if they go after JSN as he isn't all that dissimilar to Rashod Bateman who is mainly a slot guy.

I also think that a few guys may go ahead of JSN. Johnston because of the size and being one of the few true X WRs will go before JSN, I think. Then you'll have Zay Flowers who many think is WR1 and probably will be much faster than JSN. And Jalin Hyatt will be faster than everybody, and teams love to go after elite speed. And then there's Jordan Addison. So there's a legit chance JSN is WR5 off the board. If the WRs don't start coming off the board til the 20s (which is possible in a non-elite class) then I think he could last til the early 2nd, or at least at a reasonable trade up spot if the Bears are able to get an early 2 from a trade down.
Even though my top 3 have been Flowers, Addison and JSN all along, i'm really starting to come around in thinking J.Hyatt would be a really nice fit with Mooney and Claypool. I'd play Claypool more out of the slot with Mooney and Hyatt on the outside.

As far as Von Miller goes, he may be the same size but he lacks the bend. He is a different type of pass rusher. As I see him, he's more of a speed guy than a bendy prototypical Edge.

There is nothing to say that he WILL be the next Parsons. This is projected onto him. Now, Trenton Simpson has done this, which is why I've said he should be the goal, and not Will Anderson, since he gives us everything Anderson can do without the crazy price tag.

Robert Quinn is another type of beast that I don't see in Anderson. Have you seen his bend? So, as far as I'm concerned, he fits the bill of projection, at a crazy 1st or 2nd overall pick price tag, that I just don't see as being the game wrecker that will fill in all the holes we need vs. the cost outlay to acquire vs. the overall value of picks we get.

Yeah, I'm just a dude who watches football. What the **** do I know? But, I am not sold on Anderson, and I'm not the only one. So, I'd rather trade back, get Bijan and Trenton Simpson and then whoever else and call it a draft.

I mean, I sort of get the overall principle, and other teams probably do something similar. But it sounds stupid to me to get grown men to play darts so you can gauge their competitiveness before deciding to pay them millions of dollars.

Jesus-they’re not 5. Talk to them and then instinct takes over. Shooting a game of pool with a prospect won’t tell you shit about something like whether they’ll put all out effort into their career.

And here we have it…. The next completely meaningless thing for Bears fans to obsess over.

Have you heard this podcast?


It’s very good. He goes into how well
These athletes are coached and how important it is to get them off their game. For example, with Chicago having the top pick, you know Anderson was coached for a question about his role in a 4-3 as a DE. It is basically the only criticism against him.

So, within the context of providing a novel evaluative basis that is part of getting them off their game and away from what they’ve been coached up by specialists to be, this dartboard and putting makes perfect sense.
