Bear Hands

The ones that stand out to me are below--these dudes don't seem to require much acclimation, have good to excellent route running skills and should translate quickly: Troy Franklin - Been a stan, will remain a stan. He's what the offense has been missing. Adonai Mitchell - Excellent route runner and sure-handed. And at 6'4, he's not some project bigger type, he's a legit potential X receiver that can even take on slot roles at times. Jalen McMillan - Route running technician, sure-handed, and has great burst. I felt that he popped over Polk alongside Odunze in WAS. A very good combo of fluid and agile. He just has a presence and burst that you love to see. Jamari Thrash - Fast off the line, gets separation very quickly. Reliable, good downfield tracking, can be used all over. Could be an ideal asset with very little acclimation. Malachi Corley - Him and Thrash will gain more and more traction as we approach the draft. YAC machine, seemed to REALLY impress scouts at the senior bowl. Fun dude to watch on highlights. Really has a knack for getting upfield, RB mentality when he has the ball. Super dynamic. Let's get some of these dudes.

I really enjoyed watching him in college, was one of my fave WRs during the season. He’s got the true game breaking style we desperately need. Adonai Mitchell is the savier route runner but less of the home run hitter. Those are the two I like at 33. McMillan and a few others a bit later in a double dip would be awesome with an OL in between would be my ideal scenario.

Depends if you think one draft removed is a while

Chief’s defense and their DBs in particular were a huge reason for their playoff run. Just excellent play there. And Mahomes of course is in a tier of his own.

I agree to not overreact but we absolutely need to target better depth and a potential upgrade at C and LT. Bozeman is a huge question mark. He was average for BAL. Good then great down the stretch for Wilks and then awful last year. And it’s not all scheming or the players next to him injured or underperforming..he straight up got bullied at times last year. Icky regressed enough that I’d like to see some considerations had with him ant G… and if we have the talent and depth at both G spots, then LT becomes a need again.

Yep. Due to trades giving up more capital. Most GM's practice keeping an even balance of capital, even in the event of trade ups. For example, many big trades, you'll see the team giving away a top pick dish out a 6th or 7th (or two) to the one moving up. We just had this myopic mindset and didn't bother trying to truly gain capital, only recoup at like two points with CMC and Robbie -- and didn't even play that hard of ball it seems. Fitt is gone, hope Morgan is better with this and learned something from Schneider and Beane.

Warner said "Tails again"

Purdy and CMC have their moment to become immortal.

Mentioned this in a trade recap/analysis thread some time back: Including trades, we used a grand total of 17 picks in 2 seasons/since the CMC & Anderson trades on 4 'maybes' and the rest are busts or off the team. And that's also 17 picks turned into 9 players, results regardless, so we've just been bleeding capital without accruing anything to gamble on. Just terrible.

Huge hold on Bosa there. Yeeeesh

Excellent drive. Finally feels like a game.

He'll occasionally have a clunker (so he's not Tucker-level) but he's really one of the best kickers you can have. Not the most compelling game (and didn't watch halftime) but could produce a good finish

Wilks, CMC, Butker...this SB haha

He’s one of two guys we all know elevated their play on defense this year and would be worth a payday. I won’t blame him if he ends up elsewhere but would love for him to come back.

MrTouchdown/4C: Stop cluttering our flagged post inboxes And for others: Stop with the pile on about posters. Aren't we all a bit weird at the end of the day posting here ad nausem? lol Anyhoo...onto the SB!

Also not to be too lock sensitive but I don’t see this going places and it’s already derailed.

There’s no need with some of that, seems some just want multiple accounts even if they don’t anything ban worthy. I mean a fun alt, whatevs. But recently, that Breeg guy and Reccecei are two examples of multi-account types that get into heated pissing matches that just muddy up the joint. And then resurface again. And again. And again. Just like Chuck although I’ll say, the Chuck iterations seem to have finally ended this last year

He was called “political” and/or “single issue” poster but the better way to put it is the gimmick accounts.

He got banned bc he made us suspicious (and it was obvious what he was doing) and yep, he had 4 known alt accounts all posting. We banned all of them. This one won’t be long either. It’s pretty easy to figure out the ones who have the multiple accounts on our end. The weirdest ones are the longer time posters who have multiple accounts they swing between.

Cool stuff.

I'm clearly being a bit facetious here.

I'm saying how does that even happen. You have to try to draft as poorly as we have.

They are arguably the worst combination league-wide in the 21st century. Only a handful I see comparable. Doesn’t just have to do with records, we netted some of the least value possible draft classes (3 in a row) and wasted so much capital on senseless trades and excessive neediness. Like how do you basically miss on every choice from a draft where you had 11 picks?

That man…no words lol

Fitterer really screwed up with this Burns situation. It’s looking like a colossal mistake not to have him be the player chip in the Bears trade (that we shouldn’t of even made in the first place)
