Very nasty! Vegan has me on ignore.

I've watched MHJ against Michigan twice and the rest has been all highlights from YouTube. I don't know if the issues Simms has with his game are legit. If he's there at #9, I would draft him.

I really love Keon Coleman and Mitchell Adonai. I think you can trade down a couple of times and still get either one of them.

Take a white.

We need a shifty slot guy and the Irishman from Georgia merits a strong look.

I like Brian Thomas Jr but no rational human being would take him over Marvin Harrison Jr.

Isn't the Keenan Allen trade getting your second WR. I just assumed #9 would be used on an OL guy or trade down and take OL guy at appropriate spot. Still have 3 picks likely in the top 40 next year to get a WR after Allen leaves?

What am I missing?

This may be the most talented WR group in history. You can't leave this draft without getting one. Keenan Allen is 32. He's a temporary safety blanket for a young quarterback. You still need another long-term option.

I seriously doubt they'll take a lineman at #9. If they didn't trade down, it'll be WR or DE.

Why wouldn’t you take a left tackle that could protect your prized possession’s blind side for the next 10 years. Wide receivers can be found later in the draft, I happen to know.

and just a digression...

the British series "Inside No 9" is phenomenal...twilight zone in a black comedy...short episodes all different, but the same two actors...seek it out, you'll thank me

Jones is a very good run blocker but below average in pass pro.

I don’t necessarily agree with your first part and Alt isn’t the only one.

An In person report of the Bears WR room

I don't think he's below average as a pass blocker.

5th overall in pass block win rate per the individual rankings.

I've said this before, the line isn't all-time great but it's better than the perception people have due to all the slander from the Cult.

Alt is the only guy who looks good pass/run blocking. Olu looks like a pussy run blocking. I like Fuaga a lot and Latham has potential, but I just don't see the position as a need. We'll see if Poles does.

Based on that list, Braxton Jones is top 10 at both.

Yep, the line should sue the cult for defamation.

Doesn't Waldron aspire to having 20 tight ends on the roster?

Prepare yourselves for the Brock Bowers era.

He wasn't very good after the neck injury, and the line still gave up a fair number of jailbreak rushes.

It usually takes a TE a year to adjust, so he would be replacing Everett next year.

I don't disagree about him taking a half step back. I did think the line was really good until the Packers game.

I guess it depends on where you look.
PFF grades are not everything by any means, but Jones finished the season ranked 11th amongst left tackles with enough qualified snaps in PFF grade. That came with a 21st-best grade in pass blocking and the fourth-best run blocking grade. Overall, that appears to match the tape.

There will be more teams that leave this draft without one of the talented WRs than teams that do leave with a talented WR.

They had a center that had to be removed from the lineup because he quite literally couldn't snap the ball. Why not take that C from Oregon? Whatever you think of Fields, I'm sure the various turnstiles in front of him at more than one OL position didn't help. The Bears are about to pick a QB at #1, why not keep him healthy?

What's PFF's criteria? ESPN's is simple:



If PFF is penalizing Jones for letting rushers beat him four hours into Fields' dropback then I'd have issues.

They signed a league average center. While they may address center in the draft, I seriously doubt they would use their 9th pick on the kid with three last names. IMO, center was the only position of need on the offensive line. Outside of that, they just needed better depth options. I also think a potentially great WR is more important than an overhyped center.

If JJ McCarthy really does go higher than #9 it's a gift for the Bears. It wouldn't even shock me if another QB gets over
drafted higher than 9 too if that happens.

I've convinced myself that trading down is the best way to go at #9. If MHJ is there, all bets are off.

What if you hold it and hope McCarthy falls. If he does, sell the pick to Denver/Minny/whomever for a "haul."
