Kony won't make it to the Bears in the 2nd round

I think the Bears would be willing to move up if necessary, especially when you hear Emery talk about the offense defense split in the draft. I wouldn't be surprised to see a move up in round two (say a fifth) to get another of the top available defensive players, and then trading down in round 3 or 4 to pick up another day 3 pick and get some of that offensive depth Emery talked about.

 

Kony could go round one, but he's no sure thing to either. I could see him dropping down, especially if there is a WR or OL run, which based on Kiper and McShay, could happen. Close enough to be worth mentioning when ranges are so big, IMO.

Spice Adams was at that photo shoot too....

Is that really a football player?

 

Someone could pretty easily photoshop one of those Yard Tall Long Island Iced Tea drinks from Vegas in his hands with that shot.

if those things were long island iced teas, people would be dying in the streets.

 

pretty sure they're margaritas.

After watching Draft Academy I want Pierre Desir.

Because his wife is really hot?

Depending on how the first round shakes out, I like the idea of moving up in the 2nd to grab another impact defensive player. Guys like Hageman, Crichton, Tuitt and Dee Ford could be there. Edited May 4, 2014 by RynoRules

Yes. I'm all in on that idea. I wasn't at first, but the Bears have to come out of Friday with a top 4 DT and safety. Whether they go Pryor/Dix or Donald/Hageman in the 1st, they are going to need to get either Nix/Hageman/Tuitt/Easley or Ward/Bucannon in the 2nd.

 

I'm really leaning towards S in the 1st, because a DT is more likely to fall. Not sure how much the Bears would have to trade up though and what it would cost.

[WrigleyField 22]

It will be interesting to see what the board is like too. I wasn't a fan of trading down at first, but if they really did have three of their six there they could pocket another pick. Emery has had one trade each year. Maybe this is the year of multiple trades.

[rawaction]

I could see a trade down to give them more ammo to trade up later if necessary. But I don't see a major trade back. I was thinking Philly at 22 was the trade down limit, but I don't know if they can afford to go past 19 if they still want 1 of their 6 targets. But the Niners are looming at 30, with a lot to give and the desire to go above Pittsburgh if they want Odell Beckham.

 

Not sure how feasible it would be to go to 30 then trade back up to the teens.

Yea the only way it would be a major trade is if all six of their targets are gone. But even one extra pick that gives more flexibility to be aggressive in Rd2 or rd3 would be nice.

 

That being said I'm sure my board is different than Emery and if he trades down we'll miss out on a player I really like and I'll complain.

Cutler would just grab some guy's cup, push him out of the way, dump the margarita out on his way to the bar......"whose dick does a guy have to suck to get some whiskey in his [expletive] bong glass, loser?"

Yeah, she is actually.

 

But I just really like his attitude and work ethic, having 2-3 kids at a young age and being a good father goes a long way for me in determining character. Had a very Charles Tillman like feel to the way he goes about his business and I can see him working very hard to become better at his craft and eventually being a very good player in the NFL. Man his broad jump is like 11 feet...

And that would make you quite incorrect.

 

They are whatever you want them to be. Slots O Fun right next to Circus Circus absolutely serves LIIT's in those things. Better yet, Fat Tuesday serves Bacardi 151 and/or Everclear in some of their frozen drinks, and you can get up to 2 or 3 "hammer's" added to the drink for an extra buck or two, each. The hammer is a test tube shot of Everclear flipped upside down in the top of the cocktail, and you open the lid and release the shot whenever you want, and it's recommended you do it right away, because when you forget towards the bottom, your tongue will be amazingly numb. I've made that mistake before.

 

1 yard tall or 2 of the 30oz cups and you will not be feeling any pain at all. Well, that night anyway. The downtown casinos also serve similar types of tall drinks as well and it's typically "you call it". Fat Tuesday is in at least 3 different locations on the strip in Vegas. We usually get ours at MGM.

they can call it whatever they want but it can't be a long island iced tea, which is basically straight alcohol.

I know what it is, and I've had them and they are super strong. They are made with all of the clear alcohols and a bit of cola for color. I would imagine that they yard talls are more diluted with coke than the actual mixture is supposed to be, but it will still mess you up drinking just one of those.

More sour mix than coke, really just a splash of coke.

NX Level owner and trainer Brad Arnett has focused on improving Hageman's hip and ankle mobility, knee bend and work habits. Hageman already has the power. He has worked out for the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots and was set to leave Monday for visits to Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Denver, St. Louis and Chicago.
