It’s funny really. His only “friends” are on a football teams message board, and 100%of them hate him

When they announced the trade I was 100% sure it was going to be for Tunsil because he was the only one left on the board worth giving up that much to trade up to #9 overall to get. When then announced that the pick was Floyd, I just sat there in confusion and disbelief for a solid minute. Why wouldn't they have expected Floyd to be there at #11? Why bother trading up? That trade up didn't make any sense at the time and looks even dumber in retrospect.

That’s right. The Houston 1st would have been in ‘24.

Has any team ever given up a future 1 to go from 2 to 1?

The Bears absolutely need to do their homework on him.
He lost 2 friends and there were a lot of people who were blaming him for their deaths. I don’t care who you are, that takes a toll on you. Professional or soon-to-be professional athletes are not immune to stress.

People will
about this theoretical 3 1sts in 2024, while ignoring that at #2 CAR would have given up significantly less with the uncertainty at QB available.Fact is the Bears got 2 1sts this season ( one something HOU could not offer a #1 WR in DJ Moore) and a 3rd 1st next season. So Poles got essentially the same return, with the 3rd 1st a year earlier and a guaranteed not to bust, team leader, with gravitas.

Let's imagine a scenario where Gordon or Williams were doing ayahuasca in the desert instead of smoking weed on the couch at home, and instead of having their careers derailed by the league with punishment are instead teased lightly by their coaches and everyone moves on.

He ignores a lot. Mainly common sense.

It was reported afterward that NYG loved Floyd and they were gonna get him. So the Bears jumped NYG to get him.
The Tunsil stuff is all hindsight. People act like the weed stuff was no big deal, but it could have been. Could have been Josh Gordan 2.0. Who knows. It was a huge red flag coming out on the day of the draft.

They're not going to flop their pro days. And even if one did who cares? There are three others.

Yeah but people were saying he was out of shape vs OSU and that was before the accident.

The Giants were taking Floyd at 10. They tipped their hand and were caught off guard when the Bears jumped them.
The pick still should have been Tunsil.
Giants’ Leonard Floyd interest is chance at draft redemption
Remember back in the 2016 NFL Draft, when the Giants owned the No. 10 overall pick and it seemed as if everything went terribly, horribly wrong for them and they ended up settling for a player, cor…

What does this have to do with you dissappearing when the Lions get embarrassed and blaming it on work?

Translation - You have no particular insight or proof of your assertions but if you say it loud enough and long enough maybe people will believe you.

We know he’s identified Justin Jefferson as a number one. Must have a scout’s eye for talent…
