    He’s 5th in Mel’s big board, going to the Jets at 13 in his mock. Well if he really is 5th he probably would be a second rounder under most circumstance so this is him just calling him the Jets idiots then lol Overall, not at the position. But I meant 6th: 6. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State HT: 6-1 | WT: 200 | Previously: 5 Smith-Njigba had a lost season, finishing with just five catches because of a nagging hamstring injury. He announced he will now try to heal up before the combine in March. This injury shouldn't affect his play in 2023, and I still think he could be a star at the next level. This is the same wideout who led Ohio State in catches (95) and yards (1,606) last season, even on a team with two wide receivers drafted in Round 1 of the 2022 draft. He has stellar burst and explosiveness out of breaks. He's a hands catcher who can run the entire route tree, and he can make defenders miss after the catch. Most of Smith-Njigba's work came from the slot in 2021-- all but eight of his catches came while aligned there. He led the FBS in receiving yards per route run (4.0). There's a great chance he will remain the top receiver off the board in April.

    17 game season ruined the playoffs

    No That doesn’t mean it’s not a good pick or a successful draft, but when you have #1 and don’t need a qb but do need a ton of other stuff, you need to do something more than draft defense at the top and wait until pick 56 to grab an offensive player.

    Poles should have been horsefeathers talking Fields in front of Cunningham all season in preparation for his interviews

    The Blackhawks are playing their way out of the cellar and in danger of not being among the worst teams in the nhl. Frankly i like to see tanking teams screw it up. F them tankies. If this team drafts 5th this year it would be hilarious.

    Hahahahaha, imagine a 2016 cub signing an extension

    This move feels like something you do when hedging off Fields bombing in 2023. Drafting DL 9th means you aren’t giving Fields any blue chip help. You should be able to get quality players with three 2nds, but then you have two 1sts in 2024, from two teams that might not be any good. That will give you a solid foundation for a roster, but an opportunity to pounce on a top QB next draft. Considering how little they helped him this year, and that it’s not a guy they drafted, you still have to keep in mind that their eyes may still be on the next QB. This type of 2024 focused trade would really solidify that theory.

    Propane is stupid and useless and imparts no flavor. I have a Weber kettle and a kamado and it takes me maybe 5 minutes longer to be cooking on the Weber than it does on a gas grill. propane is great and useful and perfectly wonderful, so are Weber kettle and kamado. It takes all kinds
  11. jersey cubs fan
    Perfect suburban dad grill. 4 zone genesis probably about $1600-$1700.

    A lot Of your post makes sense but I don’t agree with this at all.

    I have my doubts about Poles and his judgement, but come on, this is nothing like an immigrant blindly shopping for popular products. If anything Poles has shown the complete opposite by not going after the popular items on everybody else’s list.Isn't he saying that's the pro Bryce logic? but if he does choose Bryce over Justin we can trust it’s not because it’s popular, but because he spent a ton of time and energy studying them and thought he was the best. It would be a huge risky move

    The second you put him on the market and let teams know you're open to trading him after 2 years it devalues him. It's a stain all on its own. Not that it's a route I would want them to take even if it weren't the case. Why can't you say the same thing about the no. 1 pick? The second you put it on the market, you're devaluing the top prospect. It's a stain all on its own. We've seen some very, very stained QBs get full value on the trade market in recent years. If NFL teams believe Fields can play QB at a high level, he'll demand full value. If they don't, then why are we so sure they're wrong? Because fields is a person on the bears roster and the #1 pick is just a fixed asset that can be anything. Another way of thinking of it is the #1 pick is almost always on the market. It is to be expected. But you don’t have any pressure to trade it because a theoretical pick isn’t going to feel slighted by being shopped around. The players are shopping themselves alread. NFL starting quarterbacks under contract are rarely on the market. If you put them on there they are as good as gone.

    Two additional cheap rookie contract years would be of more value to many teams in need of drafting a QB So why aren't they more valuable to us? because those two years are in the proverbial bush
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Fields’ value is more volatile than the draft pick because once you shop him you can’t really call a bluff and hold onto him. You need a QB needy team with a win now roster that loves Fields enough to make it worth the risk of alienating the guy you already spent 12 months screwing over with no support.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    If a Peyton Manning was there at #1 it’s a no brainer that you take him and trade Fields. Justin was my favorite QB in his class and I was ecstatic they took him. I have very high hopes for Fields and expect great things if the Poles doesn’t horsefeathers up the 2nd consecutive offseason. But Peyton Manning was a different beast. The true generational draft talent. I don’t see how any of the guys in this draft are the same category though. But if you did, you should take them and trade Fields, who probably lost 2-3 years off his career this season.

    I'm not quite as pessimistic on Morel as that stat implies, but this dynamic is the type of thing that drives me nuts about a lot of statcast/next-gen fan analysis. There are attributes that are objectively good but more of them doesn't necessarily mean better when you have to sacrifice other positive attributes to get there(or don't have the skill to avoid the sacrifice). It's tantamount to saying 'wow look at his slugging percentage' for a guy hitting .200/.240/.450 Nice OPS though

    Aside from the occasional hot take artist, I’m not seeing this at all. The general sentiment is that they have their quarterback and need to find a way to surround him with better weapons and a line all while restocking a pathetic defense.

    I'd really like to see him play one more season, I want the Bears to beat the Packers with Rodgers still at helm. My dream scenario - fixed up Bears pound them on national TV with the biggest Packer lover having a permanent Rodgers boner Collingsworth announcing. Not only do the Bears pound them but, Justin Fields lights them via the passing game and someone on the revamped Bears D-line Payne, Will Anderson, Jalen Carter, etc. ends Rodgers' season. Won't remove 30+ years of frustration but, it'll come close, if only not having to hear Collingsworth do a Rodgers game again. When it comes to Rodgers, I'm definitely of the kick him when he's down, rub salt in his wound's ilk, he's very much earned it. I tend to agree, but on that Collinsworth note, he absolutely loves everyone. For gods sake he said trace mcsorley was the perfect quarterback for Arizona. He’s a rare bird, most jock sniffers are sycophantic media members whilr former players tend to think everybody sucks nowadays. But he’s an ex jock jock sniffer, a verified onanist

    A) Blown away by the draft prospect and perhaps just as important, B) Blown away by the trade offer Atlanta has a need and a pick and at least some in the front office with favorable views of Fields

    You’re saying there’s a chance dot gif

    The double trade back is absolutely what I want to see happen.
