Honestly this could be a good thing. If he is persuading our staff who to draft and what to do maybe his frustration will be a wake up call. This is pretty much all we can hope for at this point. 

yeah I hope you are absolutely right.however with that said with David Tepper's track record as of date &  just like going into the locker room this afternoon & screaming obscenities at the team after the game just goes to show you that yeah he is going to be involved & heavily involved at that ...just saying

I don't care if he sets up permanent residence in the locker room as long as he stays out of any and all football decisions.

But I'm not holding my breath waiting on that happening.

No owner stays out of football decisions. Especially one like Tepper. It’s a fantasy world.

This is how normal people operate. It's not how egomaniacal billionaires generally act. If anything, he'll probably think he needs to be even more involved.

Absolutely not true at all. Reich said so himself and he’s a dinosaur. Hell, even JR hired someone to make those decisions. It’s also rare an owner create a round table of personnel making those decisions that includes his wife, who is just an inept as the owner, along with giving a spot to a customer service rep who has no clue about football decisions either. And so 3/6 of that ‘round table’ are already in agreeance. Thats rare. It’s beyond egotistical. It’s NOT how other owners do things. See where I’m going with this ? 1-10. You think a coach will be hired and some in and argue with half the table? Lol

Why are you acting like Tepper, his operation, and his weekly meetings are happening all over the league? They aren’t.

Name an owner not involved. You’re already incorrect if you think Jerry “don’t get any tattoos” Richardson wasn’t involved

Fair I agree with you honestly at least Jerry knew football though...

People can crap on Tepper for the pick but honestly I'm more po'd at the retread coach who doesn't understand modern routes or playing to the teams strengths (power running)

    • 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
