How does anyone watch this Colin cowherd show? It has constant weird hypnotic elevator music going in the background and this weird annoying co host who brings nothing to the table.

I don’t mind “uncle Colin” on YouTube but this show is for like 75 IQ people.

Question for the more knowledgeable draft guys here. Did the guy that waits until draft day to provide his only mock release it yet?

Could you imagine if we took the haul and we were talking about trading up for Dart?

Someone mentioned the guy in one of these threads a couple weeks ago, but I couldn’t find it. They said something about he has a good track record of being correct.

TEAMS AREN'T CONCERNED ABOUT SIMMONS KNEE...

Recent reports project growing confidence about Simmons’ knee, which has moved him up last-minute mock drafts.
“Teams don’t sound concerned about his long-term availability, as they anticipate he’ll be ready around the start of the regular season,” wrote The Athletic’s Jeff Howe, who mocked Simmons to the Bears with the 10th overall pick. Howe also mentioned some concerns about the 22-year-old’s maturity and passion for the game, but emphasized that he has the long-term upside to be a first-round pick.
Simmons was also projected to the Dolphins at No. 13 by CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones after medical rechecks cleared his knee.

Guess the Twitter doctors are putting their reputation on the line versus the draft "insiders"

I never realized he had character concerns as well. That’s…. Interesting

Yea, I don’t care what those reports say. He’s going to way later than that, but someone will take him and he’ll be an average player. Mocking him top 15 is crazy. Facts are facts. Find me just one player in the NBA or NFL who played at an elite level after that injury. Just one.

It has been reported over the last few weeks. It could be true, OR it could be teams trying to get him to fall to them.

When the Bears trade up, can you remind us about them beating GB?

To put in context, they grade accuracy by giving a point to all the correct names in the first round. They give extra points if you get the team right. The mocks generally don’t appear very perfect, but it’s something.

Yes. It was posted in this thread by @DefNextYear

• We’ve mentioned the lean-body-mass statistic some teams now use with players as a predictor for injuries and also growth as pros—Abdul Carter’s was the one we raised as being a little low.

Michigan DT Mason Graham is another player who has a bit of a lower number there, which could be an issue for teams such as the Chicago Bears that have traditionally relied on that stat.

Thanks Charlie for logging into Twitter and regurgitating what has been all over for 48 hours

Isnt this the same idiot who told us the raiders are getting ben johnson?

So you think the Bears can be literally the first team in a very long time who can draft a top 10 running back and have it work out for them?

• The last top 10 back drafted was Bijan Robinson. Looks alright for now but Atlanta isn't some juggernaut because of him.
• Before that, in 2018 it was Saquon #2. How'd the Giants fare with him?
• Jacksonville took Fournette #4 overall in 2017. How'd that work out? Carolina took McCaffrey #8 overall and it never turned into any team success, not until he was traded to a good team.
• 2016 the Cowboys took Ezekiel Elliot #4 overall. He had some good years but it didn't translate to many wins when it counted.
• The Rams took Todd Gurley 10th overall in 2015. How'd he do?
• in 2012 the Browns took Trent Richardson 3rd overall. Ditto.

If history is any indicator, we'd be trying to buck a really bad trend by taking Jeanty at #10 let alone trading up for him. You could look at the superbowl winners and their leading rushers and other than this past season, you won't find any dynamic, incredible rushers. The Chiefs won the prior two years with Pacheco as their leading rusher (under 1,000 yards both seasons). The Rams before that with Sony Michel under 1,000 yards. The Bucs before that with Ronald Jones under 1,000 yards. The Chiefs before that with Damien Williams at under 500 yards. The Patriots in 2018 with Sony Michel under 1,000 yards. The Eagles in 2017 with LeGarrette Blount under 800 yards. Other than last year, you need to go back to the 2016 Patriots to find the last superbowl winner with a leading rusher over 1,000 yards (LeGarrette Blount as well).

There's a reason why the RB position has become so devalued.

I’m not advocating for drafting a running back very high nor am I suggesting it would be the worst thing in the world. But I will respond by saying the New York Giants made the playoffs and won a playoff game when they had Barkley and they are among the worst teams in the league without him
