It's just PFF-esque brain rot IMO. I just watch football. I don't really care about whatever arbitrary rating someone or some system comes up with. My eyes told me Rodgers didn't look good tonight and he threw a god awful late INT that cost his team the game.

I didn't watch any of Howell, so I have no basis for any comparison other than a box score.

If he gets to play some meaningful football next season then perhaps we will have some idea about his NFL future.

Usage rate looks a little Darnold-esque.

Typical Rivera offense. Run 1st down, run 2nd down, throw on 3rd and long then if you do somehow build a decent lead go ahead and run on 3rd and long too. Howell bailed them out on several third downs. A couple running, another on a though cross body throw while scrambling. Should've connected on another deep bomb but the receiver let up for some reason, ball was a dime. Another 3rd down McLaurin dropped a perfectly thrown ball at the sticks where he had room to run to boot. Made some good decisions with a couple of throwaways and sliding when scrambling. Only really bad play was a pick in the endzone. Ron addressed that and basically said Howell tried to finesse it instead of sling the thing like he knows he can do. It was a low percentage shot that should've been to the corner where either his guy got it or no one got it.

He looked damn good from a traits perspective. The arm talent looked damn good on an NFL field vs. starters. The wheels looked good. The Commanders have something to work with. Wish we did

OROY is looking super close this year, there were a lot of really solid performances, no breakout stars but a few close ones.  Pierce was a clear frontrunner as he was at 950 rushing before getting injured those last 4 weeks, but that changed it up. 

You've got:

Garrett Wilson, Kenneth Walker, Chris Olave, Brock Purdy, Christian Watson, Isiah Pacheco, Tyler Allgeier

I'd say those 7 all have some arguments.  Can confidently say Pickett, Pickens, B Rob, & White won't get it.

As much as I dislike ATL, Allgeier really showed some stuff down the stretch, ended up with a 1000 yard season.

But think it comes down to Wilson & Walker, I'd give it to Wilson but betting odds are favoring Walker.  What Wilson & Olave were able to do with their respective QB situations is impressive.  In SEA, I'd just as much give the OROY to the entire rookie unit of Cross, Lucas, & Walker.  Abe Lucas ended up being a real find.

    • This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case. 
    • And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo. 
    • I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
