Stop drafting RBs!

 

Damn man there is some guy working at Lowe's who would could sign for 100k and still be serviceable behind Chuba.

 

We keep investing in the RB position when it's the easiest position to play on offense. See hole run through it. That's literally the job of a RB speaking from experience playing the position. Stop treating the RB position like the most important position on offense. We don't need depth we just paid Chuba like a top 10 RB. Use him!

I never said he was Adrian Peterson.

But he's in a professional league now with physicians that excel at repairing this injury type due to its frequency.

People acting like this injury is automatically a career ending injury haven't paid attention to this surgery/procedure over the last decade...

I haven’t seen anyone say it’s career ending, just that you can’t compare him to one of the fastest and best recoveries, if not the best, ever. We’ve already lost 2 years since he got hurt a month later this time and barely got any touches before getting hurt again. Peterson only missed 4 games due to the ACL before he had his 2nd significant injury at age 29. Brooks is likely to miss almost 30 games by 22. Comparing them is apples and oranges.

We always talk in here about not paying RBs their second deal because it’s the lowest shelf life position. That’s also why taking an already injured player early makes no sense. It’s too risky. Projects are too risky. Old rookies that aren’t fully developed is risky. If we just avoided those the past few years we’d have lucked into a much better team right now. It’s so frustrating as a fan to see the team actually play well knowing how little talent we’ve added in the draft for the last 5 years.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      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
