I tried to post something like this the other day and didn't get through it. Essentially would we have been better off with 41 and 72 than what we got with 56 and 62? Same with 109 over 132 & 169. This one seems easier because I had never heard of Hyppolite or Frazier after doing some mock drafts. I do like getting the fourth back for next year.

Loveland won't be blocking many DE's. Get him out in run blocking and he'll do fine. He put some big hits on the college guys and appears to take it seriously. Split him out wide, put trips on the other side and let the matchup chess begin. A lot of receiving talent, some protection against injury, good stuff.

My Day 2 PFF mock

The only reason he was available in the second round

Point C If Tetairoa McMillan is there and Campbell and Membou are gone would you consider taking him? WR is pretty meh after Rome and Moore. I agree that LT would be ideal, just curious about opinions on McMillan

The aggregators pick this stuff up and it goes everywhere

According to the Fitzgerald/Spielberger chart #10 & #41 are more points than #3 Probably wouldn't get it done, though. Using the Jimmy Johnson chart (most teams are using this or close to this) it would take 10, 39, 41 to get to surplus value for the Giants. (This site didn't have future picks) Fun exercise though

Draft strategy - one thing I'd like the Bears to do is capatilize on deep positions better. For example, last year was a "good" center draft. This year is a good "RB & DT" draft. (There are other positions that could be listed here but stick with me). This year is not a good "Center" draft. So this year would be a greast year to pick up a DT or RB, even if there is not a true need there. You get value by a round or so over other years. It doesn't seem like they do this yet. Interested to see what they do.

Extension for Edwards, 2/$20 - has this been covered here?

A whole lot of Cubs Twitter already has their outrage tweet written, just ready to hit send

I just need to get COVID twice instead of dieting...

I think Poles is (and has been) asking the coach what he wants and going and getting it. I'm hoping his bad moves can be blamed on that (probably just a few, ha)

Trying to answer the question "what is seattle doing" -- Athletic podcast said Geno was looking for top tier QB money and Seattle wouldn't do that. DK also got $30MM/year from Pittsburgh and Seattle wouldn't do that either. They have 75-80% of their previous receiving corps and a slightly cheaper QB who played really well most of last year. Now they have some extra picks and will hopefully fill in their IOL. Are they better, hard to say that....

The podcast I listen to said he wanted to reset the T market again with an updated contract (he is signed through 2026 at $21MM per year. (He got his $50MM signing bonus with the extension) There was some chatter about his locker room presence being a problem (maybe projecting it if he doesn't get his contract). They said the value of the picks combined is equivalent to a first round pick, but they won't be able to get a plug in T with what they got back.

Looking forward to seeing him in officially licensed gear on the sidelines, ha He seems to be one of many players that just can't hold up against injury
-
I assume you meant his career has landed him with another cursed franchise?
-
Jeanty seems like a luxury pick or a finishing piece to a team that is already nearly complete. If the FO thinks we're that close to a complete team I'd be surprised. DE/DT/C are the obvious needs G/T/S are the positions needing someone coming in to replace in a year I was thinking a RB in either R2 or R3, but I even considered a second RB in R6 or R7. If the OL is right the players look better. I don't really like Swift or Roschon.
-
Everett definitely Walker I hate to see go with a relatively small cap number. Seems more sensible to keep him until he is forced off the team by other additions. He's a good run defender DE who can bump inside. Not sure why he had to go right now...

I want all 17 game season records to be isolated into their own strata The 16 game season records cannot be broken by a 17 game season. "But he only played in 16 games!" horsefeathers that Who was the single season rushing leader when the season was 14 games? 12 games? Those guys are still the record holder in my eyes This also does a little work on the "era" front

Eli "Smith" doesn't make it into HOF Eli Manning just might

Boy I'm glad they didn't give up Lonzo

If I've understood anything about the cap from you and others, it's that CASH spending can make all the perceived CAP issues go away, or greatly diminish.

How have we not talked about this here before?! I mean, she was 102! And RIP, Ginnie

Micah Parsons Jr??

Virtually every player takes the most money, especially a guy like Smith who has been getting paid 6th round money
