  1. At the same time, Jaylon was a 2nd and Malik was a 4th. So we can focus on that position in the draft.
  2. Yeah I think the two most important things in this trade are not the firsts, but Caleb and Ben. That's the difference between the Mack trade and this one. Lets GO!
  3. I would do that Simmons deal so quickly if TEN is actually considering it.
  4. I think the best bet on defense is to hope the Falcons get too cute seeing as they should comfortably be able to run all over and/or exploit the secondary downfield. Maybe Kyler can come back and help the pass rush from the slot?
  5. I think I'm all for whatever it takes for Jeffery Simmons as the acquisition
  6. I was going to add the caveat that I'd be willing to hear the argument for keeping Pete over Caleb if you believe in Ben elevating any QB to keep the Bears on track.
  7. I don't think its particularly close for me. Caleb. Pete is incredible, but with fewer games and at the position where the ball is in his hands every offensive snap, It has to be Caleb. Great thing is we don't have to pick!
  8. Day 2? Has Arch's stock fallen that far?
  9. It is, but the people you'd need to care about that would be flying their PJ's into Gary and not deal with ORD to Hammond
  10. If there is an Andrew Needz at some level of baseball he needs to be acquired ASAP
  11. My pass catcher hot take is that one of them will have a 200+ yard game this year
  12. Wonder if Dansby has a tendency to play better when Mallory is on the USWNT roster.
  13. It's pretty clear they valued a top 2-3 player on their board at C, Y-TE over the 30th DE on their board. I'm fine with that. I like that the current set up allows for Poles to continue to shop at the RAS store but he has Ben directing him to the correct shelves.
  14. Yeah, we'll see. I'm sure if Poles trades for an impact DL you'll make it clear you hate that too
  15. Looking at snap count of DE from last year of you combine Booker and Dayo into one based on how their injuries lined up, they and Sweat played roughly 80% of snaps, and the 3rd played 20% of snaps. Seemingly this TE will play more than the 3rd DE. So, maybe they picked a guy who would make a more meaningful impact?
  16. This! Bears Fans: Last year's all offense draft: Love it Ben's finger prints all over this!! No mention of Poles This year's all offense draft: Does Poles know anything about football? No mention of Ben. There was a lot of folks indicating the Bears were happier with their DL than outside observers were. We'll see if that's correct
  17. In the Illini's favor, Purdue's last game before they went on this run was a loss to Wisconsin
  18. Their size is a huge problem for teams, 100% agree. That was the impressive takeaway for me as a Wisconsin fan who admittedly only watches UW CBB games. To that end, was the NBCSN production catching more in arena sound than normal because it sounded chaotic in there with how much they let the DJ play between possessions etc...It felt like it was more constant than an NBA game.
  19. Yeah they are entirely too dependent on the 3 and miss way too many shots at the rim, but they have 2 of the best road wins in the country this year.
  20. Hey! My Dad told us he absolutely loved that gift for Christmas all those years back.
  21. 254 for me so it happened to my right. the 10-15 seconds that the stadium took to wrap our collective minds around what happened and then go absolutely berserk is something I'll not soon forget.
  22. Looking at that list of contributing FA's and really Byard and maybe CJGJ are the ones I'd hate losing. I think having CJGJ and Kyler Gordon on the field at the same time gives Allen a ton of really fun blitz possibilities. I think Case Keenum should be on this roster as long as he wants to cash checks. He seemed to have a really positive impact on Caleb as a hype man/adult in the QB room they didn't have his rookie year. Lastly, its almost assuredly a miserable use of resources but I would at least need to find out the cost on both Simmons from TEN and Achane from MIA
  23. Definitely Juan Cruz. I got my brother to trade me Barry Zito straight up for Juan Cruz in fantasy baseball his Cy Young year because of Peter Gammons hyping Cruz preseason
  24. Yes, how could anyone from Canada see the appeal in Miami? Certainly not in January either
  25. Yesterday was fun, and while trying to stay in the moment and enjoy it, it makes the MIN comeback that much more annoying. 3-1 heading into the bye in a potential tie for NFC North 1st place almost allows you to excuse the DET blowup.
