I want a blue chip player. Give me Mike Green. I know he has off the field issues but NFL players are not Boy Scouts. Any one of us would take Tyreke Hill on the Bears and don’t lie about it. Just give me a beast that can stop the run and rush the QB opposite Sweat.

I'm sure YOU could do it... It just wouldn't last long. Same goes for Pickett. The QB needs to be strong enough to consistently push as well as durable enough to hold on to the ball and not get demolished.

Hurts being able to squat like 600 pounds or something crazy like that definitely helps.

Having sexual assault allegations on two different occasions is a big issue even without ever actually getting charged and just getting accused one time when in the NFL could end up a lengthy suspension. Love the player and would love the pick if they took him at #10 but you better do all the homework needed on him about these allegations which they obviously would do.

You either forgot or seriously undervalued Membou. If the first nine picks went the way you’re projecting, the Bears would be sprinting the Membou card in, laughing all the way. But I’m guessing there’s no 2nd QB taken in the top 9 picks, leaving the same predicament at #10 that you’re suggesting. The real hope is for someone to force a 2nd QB pick in the top 9, leaving one of the top guys to be there at #10. Taking Stewart or Williams at #10 feels like forcing a risky pick at #10 solely for need. Neither guy feels like a top half of the 1st round talent…

I can't see Membou falling to #10. My top nine picks...........2 QBs, 2 OTs, 1 RB, 1WR/CB 2 Edge, 1 DT. That leaves a lot of options at 10.

I like him, but if he doesn’t do a 30 visit, just cross him off. No way the Bears take a character issue guy they haven’t thoroughly vetted with an in-person meeting.

What does Josh Allen’s size have to do with the much smaller Jalen Hurts? The Bills went 2 for 6 in the AFCCG vs the Chiefs on that play… and the 4 times they didn’t get it, the interior OLmen all lost their 1 on 1 battles. Odd that how worked out huh?

If you dont know that Jalen Hurts is known for his strength and having a max squat over 600lb despite being only about 220lbs, that's not my fault. I mean obviously I said the guy was strong and athletic which is why he is the key for the tush push.

You then point out that another huge powerful QB is also very successful doing the same play, not because their OL is elite. Thus it's you defeating your own logic.

 

[Xplosive]

Athleticism and getting the QB pressures. Everything is there for him in a glowing way besides the actual sacks.

He has terrible production even outside of sacks. Only 5.5 TFL and 32 Tkls. Nothing about him says top 10 player outside of the combine.

I love the combine but you dont ignore the actual games just because he can run and jump well. Plus he didn't even do the benchpress.

It's horrible to gamble the #10 pick away on someone so unproven and risky.

They can get background info without a visit but you’re right likely not a first round target without a visit

 

[Xplosive]

He looked exhausted after doing a tush push? LOL

His helmet was almost completely ripped off and he got up so slow you'd think he just ran 100 yards.

People seem to believe that any QB can do what Jalen Hurts does consistently and what Saquon does, not because they are elite athletes but because Philly has a superhuman OL I guess.

I literally just pointed out that when the OL loses, Josh doesn’t convert at a rate anywhere near his usual %. Same holds up with Jalen. You are quickly becoming one of the dumbest fucking morons on this board.

You're right I'll slow down so that I don't catch you.

FYI... the tush push is having two players lineup behind the QB and push with the QB when he does a qb sneak.

Yes the OL must be good to even get leverage, but having a short stocky QB that squats over 600lbs OR having a QB that's about the same size and power of a DE aka Josh Allen... is even more important because most QBs could not consistently handle that abuse. No matter how elite the OL is.

FYI bills OL is also elite for any idiots that don't know that

Is that PFF elite or multiple all pro and future hall of famers elite like Philly has had?

Can a OL be very good without be elite, because I would think Buffalo falls in there.

Shouldnt Jared Goff be a Tush Push king with double digit TDs as well considering that Detroit has an elite OL.

The top OLs in the nfl belong to Denver, Philly, Detroit and Buffalo

Atlanta was pretty good as well...

Now we need to see if Jared Goff, Kirk Cousins, and Bo Nix were excellent at the Tush Push and had double digit TDs like Hurts & Allen

 

[Discus fish salesman]

Atlanta was pretty good as well

As were TB and Carolina but they were probably a step below those other 4

 

[TL1961]

Most players take 3-4 years in every sport.

But if you think otherwise we like stupid

You think dexter lawrence was the player he was after a year?

Perfect example is Jamo on the lions. Most bears fans thought he was a bust, me included. Now he looks like a legit NFL weapon after year 3.

Yes, of course players develop overtime and they improve overtime. But they don’t sit on the bench for three years like they’re in an incubator.

Actually he does have things that say top 10 pick about him, unfortunately those things aren't as important as the low amount of sacks he's had over his career and yes i think we all, or at least most of us, understand that the gametape stands above all else when making the decision of drafting a player anywhere in the draft.

I'm not advocating for drafting him, as a matter of fact i've said that i wouldn't draft him at #10, i'm saying that this guy is a very intriguing player when it comes to measurements and he was really good against the run and his get off is great. He obviously needs to work on the biggest value you want in your DE with his pass rush. He needs to work on his pass rush moves and finishing.
