I can't wait for people to lose their minds tomorrow and Friday night about where certain guys are drafted because all the mocks said something different.

Yeah this draft is going to be nuts. Think what actually happens will be the biggest discrepancy from mocks that maybe we’ve ever seen. I think this draft has so many prospects being overrated, and perhaps even more prospects being underrated.

It should really start at like 5pm EST considering how much wankery goes on between picks. Pacific time zone can suck a dick til it makes them sick.

Of course nothing is guaranteed, with that said you don't spend premium draft capital on players that will be backups for the next couple years.

All 3 of the Bears top picks should be starters before the end of the season.
Yeah this really doesn't address the point. Whether you like it or not it is highly possible a DL or OL does not start year one. Bears FA was pretty much designed to ensure any draft pick will have to earn a starting spot.

In case anyone needs a reminder about Simmons. The player he was meant to be will likely never be realized. And for the crowd that is ok as long as his medicals check out... He'll be cleared and it won't change the facts of the injury and recovery.

Plus the character concerns. Honestly, for the bears, I don’t think I even draft him in the 2nd. There’s so many safer picks that could still be impactful.

I've been saying for a while, he will be there at 39/41 and he will be on the board after.... he's sliding. People will blame the character, but the injury is probably the worst an athlete can have.

Last year the big surprises that allowed Rome to fall to us were JC Latham and Michael Penix. Who do you think it’ll be this year? That CB out of Michigan seems to be getting a lot of play. Same with Tyler Warren,

"Highly possible" is not the same as probable. You suggest that they could draft a backup for every position on the oline with any of their top 3 picks... They "could" but I doubt that they extend both guards and sign a center.... AND draft backup IOL with any of their top 3 picks.

The only position that they "should" draft with a top 3 pick, is LT and I dont see the point of drafting a LT prospect with a premium pick if he isn't going to be at least average in year one.

As for DL, there is an obvious need for DT to compete with Billings, so I'm all for drafting one early. 3 tech & DE are much less of a need.

Or....

This injury could be being over dramatized in order for him to slide to a team further back that wants to pick him. If you watched the injury there was nothing dramatic that caused it to happen.

He is showing a lot of improvement already and it's being downplayed based on Twitter doctors saying it's catastrophic. They could just as likely be wrong.

What time are @ILoveDick and @DanielCCSBears going to start posting one of those King Poles dancing videos to show their love of his selections?

Will it be tonight?

After he cleans up Friday?

Or is it a cherry on top moment on Saturday?

How about right after each selection?

What will Daniel do if the Skat Man ends up a Bear?

If the Bears draft Banks, will the dick master start suggesting he should move to center? If it’s Warren, is he moving him to FB?

So much intrigue!

Just having some fun with you…

You need to lighten up. People tend to give you shit because you’re usually an arrogant twat.

You’re annoying but not to the level where I felt the need to exclude you from this thread.
