Would love to hear an elaboration on how a 22 year old is “just scratching the surface athletically.” WTF does that even mean?
Shultz feels like he’s kind of a shill. I’m sure he does it for other info.

Yeah…it’s just a dumb take. He’ll be 23 next month and is a relatively average athlete for a TE.

320LB Texas Prospect Touted as a Fix for Caleb Williams as Bears’ Ryan Poles Make $3M Decision​



Out of the 3 of K.Banks, A.Membou, W.Campbell.

K.Banks has the measurables and game tape. Maybe falls a little short with his height being 6'4 but shouldn't be an issue.

Membou has the best measurables and game tape and killed the combine but has never played LT.

W.Campbell has the best game tape of the 3 IMO but he falls short with the arm length and wingspan even though many analysts say the wingspan doesn't matter as much when talking tackles as the arm length does.


So why do the "draft experts" (most of them anyway) have K.Banks going the latest in the 1st round?


NE everywhere, Jets at RT, Bears at LT, Miami at LT and maybe San Fran all need OL. I expect OL to go fast regardless of what the draft gurus say

Back part of round 1 will be the hot spot this year. Think you have a QB at 1 and then nothing till later when you have some teams trade back in.
So you think Ward at #1 and then no QB, even S.Sanders, until late 1st? I just can't see every QB needy picking top 12 or so passing on him and really don't think he makes it out of like top 7 or so. I just hope the Jets don't take him. I want Fields to get a good long look by them as their starter.

I like Tyler Shough and am real interested to see where he goes and who he goes to.

Have seen numerous reports suggesting exactly that

I would love to see it. I think he's too arrogant and cocky for this but i would love to see him get humbled. Him and his dad.

From a Bears standpoint we want him top 10 though. But yeah, I am not a fan

What a goofy tweet.

How is using the #7 pick on a RB establishing RB by committee?

If you want a RB by committee and have Breese Hall, there are a dozen guys you could add mid rounds.
Well, Bijan and Gibbs were in a committee, right? Those were two high picks and neither expected to carry it alone. The real issue is cost. You don’t want to break the bank on Breece to use him in a committee. If Cook wants 15 million a year, I imagine Breece won’t be far and may want even more. Jeanty would reset the contract clock on the RB. And it’s not just the tweet. It’s what Cimini wrote:


I agree though that it seems odd, but what would I know?
