Who would willingly get into a PR poo show before you are absolutely sure of the outcome? None of these organisations need to get any of that possible stench on themselves.

It isn't going to happen until early 2022. That way an interested suitor can see if the legal issues are sorted and also the Texans are sure what the draft compensation they get (Draft board positions in the rounds). The Dolphins needs to see if Tua is any good The Eagles need to see if Hurts is any good The Panthers need to see if Darnold is any good The Broncos idk?

Rodgers holds the card that he has made a poo ton of money over the years. So it isn't like he can't pay for electricity if he doesn't show up and play. He could just wait out and either retire or until the Packers brass buckle and decide to get something for him. Career Earnings: $242,327,500

You are missing the player name at the Eagles pick (Devonta Smith). Look forward to the whole 1st round. Dream draft for the Panthers at that draft position. (Just like when we got Luke)

If he pans out in the NFL and is a game changer every single year. Sure no prob. Though I would prefer Slater in this scenario. Not sure how elite Surtain really is.

Was the price we paied to rich? We will have to wait to find out. But the 2nd rounder in 2022 could end up being a borderline 3rd rounder if we play well in 2021. Also if we decide to trade down we could receive a 2nd round pick back? The coaching staff must also see Darnold as a better player than Teddy and he has room to grow at only 24 from a poo team. The trade also prevents us for going ape poo desperate in the draft trying to trade up to the 5th spot (Bengals haven't historically traded much in the 1st round and Falcons wont trade with us) and we probably couldn't get the QB we liked more than Darnold either way in that spot or the 6th. The flexibility it gives us sitting pretty at 8th I like. We can trade down or stay put and pick BPA either Pitts, Penei, Slater, Surtain, Parsons or Chase as Fitterer and Rhule sees best fit.

Discuss

Why would the Fins trade down when they traded up to acquire the 6th pick (after trading down from the 3rd). They deffo wanna make sure they can pick either Penei or one of the top receiving threats.

100% agree. It is done. Jets aren't gonna sell their #2 pick. Unless it is a kings ransom. We gotta stay put and go BPA or trade down and prepare for next years draft (QB wise). Also gives us a chance to see what happens to the Watson situation. Hopefully we can come away with a solid OT or CB after a trade down.

If you draft board changes based on your needs. You are doing it wrong. At least the ranking aspect.

@Verge let us say the draft does not fall out to our advantage regarding a QB in the first round. They ones we like are all gone before our pick. What is your sense the direction we would go in this case? BPA, D# or Oline? I see you have Alijah Vera-Tucker on a fairly high rating as compared to most. I do as well and really like him a lot. You see him playing LT in the NFL or more of a stud guard? (I guess LT since he is ranked #11). Which of the tackles in the draft do you see as true LTs in the NFL?

It is a dangerous path to think that your club and only your club can fix a player that has had more than enough time to succeed in NFL. The Bears Oline has been slightly better or on par with our the last years. Their receiving weapons are at the same level. Maybe not just since we gotten Anderson. I would rather get a young QB in the draft than spend any time on Trubisky

Refreshing. A GM that can actually figure things out.

No just no. Cannot and will not ever like him.

That sack by Ealy was all about Shaq's pressure from the left end.

Youth movement and still we have Harper on the roster. It makes me cry we don't have any alternatives to the grey haired liability in our defensive backfield.

Good to hear the Ealy is progressing. I don't expect him to break out until his 3rd year as DE's normally take some time to mature and understand the finer aspects of playing in the NFL. (Just see that CJ practise hand movements every day before or after practise) But I have really high hopes for him and love his versatility to play both on the outside and inside, which is what made Hardy so valuable. I just hope he understands that practise makes the foundation for what happens on the field on Sundays, though there are some players that just suck in practise and a switch turns on on game day.

I just realized that the last 3 letters in both Kelvin and Devin's first names phonetically is [win]. So together they are win win.

My thoughts. Cooper, White and Parker with certainty wont be there when we pick at 25th DGB, Perriman and Strong could all be available at 25th. My gut says that at least Perriman will be and I think DGB will as well. Agholor, Dorsett, Smith and Greene should all be available at 25. 2014 which was very talented and deep at WR "only" had 5 WRs go in the first round. 2013 had 3 WRs in first round 2012 had 4 WRs in first round 2011 had 3 WRs in first round None of this wont matter as we prolly wont pick a WR in the first round anways

True, however the comp picks in the 5th allows Gman to use the original 5th round pick to move up. 25. 161. Carolina Panthers 26. 162. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - From Baltimore Ravens 27. 163. Dallas Cowboys 28. 164. Detroit Lions 29. 165. Dallas Cowboys - From Indianapolis Colts 30. 166. Green Bay Packers 31. 167. Seattle Seahawks 32. 168. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - From New England Patriots 33. 169. Carolina Panthers © 34. 170. Seattle Seahawks © 35. 171. Baltimore Ravens © 36. 172. Kansas City Chiefs © 37. 173. Kansas City Chiefs © 38. 174. Carolina Panthers ©

I would oppose that and feel pretty safe about saying Agholor wont be picked in the first round. In the second round I like Sammie Coates, Devin Smith and Phillip Dorsett

E.J. Manual will have his "Welcome to the NFL" moment today when CJ, Kraken and Star sandwich him into a little tiny mushy muffin.
