  1. All the Cubs need is a short term dude, that's possible.
  2. Vasquez isn't good and the Cubs have been hitting him hard, at least for this game, the optimism might be warranted.
  3. Appears the Padres are the opposite of Dodgers - stay away from the bullpen, make sure you have the lead going into the late innings. Whereas, the Dodgers, you want to get into their bullpen.
  4. Agreed. Beyond this draft, as many have said, it must be by design to not prioritize the D-line with higher picks. Booker and, to some extent, Dexter, may change a little of the narrative of Poles completely ignoring the D-line via the draft.
  5. Wasn't this draft looked upon as weak in D-line overall? If so, I genuinely wonder if, given were the Bears we're drafting, none of the potential targets moved the needle for them? Rather than it being Poles completely ignored the D-line.
  6. Tyler Warren. I believe a few of us, most especially UMFan, thought Loveland was, at least, as good, if not better than Warren.
  7. He'll also be 37 in July, still, maybe there's something left in the tank, can't hurt.
  8. They're all cooked, it's why they're still available. That said, maybe, take a chance on the least cooked or youngest? Bosa or Reddick?
  9. This, it's the primary reason they were terrible on defense, couldn't get off the field enough. Stop the run, sacks and QB pressures will come.
  10. Like what I read about him, some mocks had him going on day 3, got PFF pass and run blocking grades in the 70's.
  11. Must be something bad, even the Ravens and Eagles have stayed away.
  12. Not every guy the Dodgers sign from Japan has to be success, right? Some might fail, that's allowed.
  13. I'm not implicating he'll be good, just suggesting he'll be plenty motivated to be his best whatever that is.
  14. Could 2026 be viewed as a contract year for Dayo Odeyingbo? I see here - https://overthecap.com/player/dayo-odeyingbo/9518 - the Bears could save 15 million in cap space by cutting him in 2027. Thinking we'll see whatever' the best of Dayo in 2026, might not be good, could be something.
  15. There's a mention of arrests in 2023 and 2024 on the NFL site.
  16. Surprised by Johnson, thought he'd stay, still may. However, I've read this isn't the strongest draft so, there's a good chance he'll go in late in the first.
  17. People are thinking impactful DL's and EDGE's were plentiful and available when the Bears picked and they passed. It's just not they way the draft fell.
  18. I understand the sentiment, but, the question remains who? Poles may have tired to trade up, probably couldn't find any takers or a reasonable deal. I do believe Poles will draft a DL or two today.
  19. Dani Dennis-Sutton is still on the board, will Poles have to move up or, is the run on EDGE's over?
  20. And who were they going to draft at 57? All of the potentially impact EDGE's were literally gone now, one could argue Poles should have moved up. He probably tried, we don't know. Given this you might as well take a player who has the potential to be impactful regardless of position. I believe that's what the Bears did.
  21. Is safe to say the Lions and Vikings with two reaches have strengthen the pool for the Bears at 25?
  22. Yep, 2.5 hours until the Bears pick was the correct call. First ten took about an one hour, next ten probably will take another hour, then 20-30 minutes to the Bears' slot.
  23. I don't get it, trade up only 3 spots, giving up two other picks.
  24. Watch the end of Giants-Dodgers, they announced the Cubs' starters over the weekend and it was...not inspiring. Well, at least, Friday' and Saturday' starters.
  25. That game was annoying, I know it's the Brewers and all. But, come on Perkins, Matos, Ortiz and Hamilton doing damage vs. Skubal? Give me a horsefeathers break, bad is bad, it's going to catch Brewers. Through in Sanchez as well, he's cooked.
