Dan Morgan named GM/President


Mr. Scot

When I listen to Tepper talk, I get the impression that it doesn't matter what anyone says within the organization unless Tepper agrees.  At the Press conference after the Reich firing,  He more or less said it. "Tepper took ownership of every decision that was made and says he could’ve overruled any vote from the coaches and scouts."  So Yes man or not, his vote or say only works if Tepper agrees with it.  You can say no all you want and Tepper will just overrule you.

I like Dan Morgan a lot. I think he has the capability and knowledge for good things. The concern is how much he was involved with what we've seen transpire the last 24 months or so. From top to bottom it was a disaster. Hiring from within that is going to be a tough sell. But I'm hoping it works out and he's the guy. That's all I can do.

At least Morgan worked his way up through the ranks of scouting.  We shall see if he really has an eye talent.  I'm telling y'all if he pulls the trigger on a QB at #33 (Penix or Nix) I'll be a huge fan.

If they draft a QB at #33 overall - that would be an alpha bossman move from Dan. No doubt about it.

In a way a Huddler became GM. Sure, the board ran him off with constant concussion jokes, but he was a Huddler for a few days at least.

Maybe he'll browse the Huddle and listen to some of the opinions here. After all, we were right more than Scott. Not sure how much of an accomplishment that really is, but a lot of us were probably drunk.

Now all the fat boy key board warriors who talked poo to him when he was on this board can get mad all over. I still stand by the fact that you tubbies who harassed him don't have even a quarter of the balls it would take to say it to his face as you know how it would turn out.

    • 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
