Official NFL Draft Thread - Bear Fans Only - and No Montucky!

I said I wouldn’t be opposed if they missed out on jeanty. Like if they went skattebo in round 3, I could see then drafting a speedy and more athletic RB in round 7 if they liked someone.

I would not be happy if they used anything higher than a 5th round pick on Skattebo. It would be a wasted pick. I think he would be the 3rd best in that rb room, and it’s not that great of a room.

God I hope we don't draft Skattebo, much less in the 3rd round. Tons of miles on that dude and he's slower than David Montgomery.

I never knew you were a blasphemer before

Trading back is not going to happen for the Bears.

True I don't see how it does. If someone wants to move up for a QB they can wait it out because of who is behind the Bears.

I should have said in almost any scenario. I’m also more basing that opinion off your “You’d rather have less picks this draft“ statement. I get what you’re saying, but there are a lot variables and just on the surface seems like kind of a crazy thing to say. All drafts are different and the talent is spread differently so it just seems like a blanket statement when there’s more nuance to it.

Kind of going off on a tangent here, but people get too focused on rounds. Like there’s this magical drop that happens between 33 and 32. That’s the extreme example, but people do it to a lesser extent all the time. Rounds are meaningless. It’s the pick number that matters. People have this psychological thing with rounds.

There is not that big of a difference in how we look at pick 22 and pick 30. Of course there is some. It’s 8 spots. But now imagine there are only 22 teams. And know I can say one is a first round pick and one is a middle second round pick. That psychologically changes your expectation and projection for those players the way them both being late firsts doesn’t. People do that all the time.

Its no secret the first round has a significantly much better chance of finding a probowler than other rounds.

Here is a study by the Times done in 2022

Tackle, QB and Edge had the highest disparity from round 1 to round 2 for Probowlers.

Great graphic... the basis for why you don't trade up for anything but those premium positions.

QB, OT, and Edge are the best players to make a move for.......DT is a very close 4th.

 

[playthrough2001]

Is Kayvon in the last year of his deal?

No

He has another year and the 5th year option.

 

[DanielCCSBears]

Yeah but not the immortal Greg Gabriel. He’s the end-all, be-all

They really should have brought him back they'd be multi time Super Bowl winners if they had.

There was an interview with the OL coach where he said his injury was a set back but that got pulled from YouTube

Oh really hmmm the mystery begins to deepen

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

So was Tyler Warren considered a top prospect last year? Was just looking at his stats and he really didn’t do much at all his first 4 years and he’s older by a year or two than some of these guys.

thanks, I was just snooping around and saw that.
You've probably seen this or something like it, but the host is quoting Roushar about Braxton (2:30 mark) and Kiran (6:00 mark).

Yeah i have seen this quote several times and I think it’s wrong. I think he said something about competing for the starting job. But that interview got removed. So I am just going off memory

He’s a 5th year senior who broke out is last year in college.

It’s not really talked about enough in his evals IMO

Banks at 10

I’d take Conerly in this scenario, but there’s no way they’d pass on Jeanty at 10.

It's been talked about a lot. Friermuth, Brenton Strange, and Theo Johnson were all there before him and were drafted the last three years. They've had a ton of TE talent and bad passing offenses. He had 422 yards and 7tds the year before with another NFL TE on the roster and a team that passed for like 2500 yards

Everything he says about Banks is spot on.

 

[DefNextYear]

I do expect Jeanty is a lock in the top 10, which is fine. I won't overthink adding a fun player even though I think the Bears are better just picking best RB available at 39 or 41 if they want one that badly. I think the wild cards are really picks 7-9... I don't think the Jets or Panthers would take him, but I think any of the 3 would be really interested in a trade. I think the only real threat is the Cowboys in that case... If Poles/Ben can't live without Jeanty. No one else should be thinking about a trade that high. Can't mortgage the future for a RB.

The biggest dude was the first he inherited in NO and cut him the following year. I think he was 227lbs.

No wonder why they cut him. At 227 pounds, he had to get mauled on every snap!
