    Imagine what he would have gotten them if they didn't allow the highest sack rate in 20 years. (I realize Fields is at fault for some of those sacks but that doesn't fit with the joke)

    He was also at Cubs Convention all weekend and posted videos of him getting introduced on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/reel/CncxpsHpBnD/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link (no idea how to embed Instagram posts on here)

    Fields was the consensus number 2 pick in the draft almost all season. I remember getting mad that the Bears already had too many wins and would have no shot at Lawrence or Fields. Nothing Fields did in his last season should have caused a drop in draft stock IMO. He didn't start dropping until after the season when people started talking about him throwing to his first read a high percentage of the time. I'm sure there's more to it but he was very highly regarded as a prospect until draft time.

    Yea certainly more nuanced than my chart. And, yea, I think if he had better size, he'd be a clear #1. What's he actually expected to come in at? He's listed at 6'0" 194, but seems like consensus is he's gonna measure smaller on both, by a lot. If he somehow measured at that height/weight he may clear the hurdle just enough for some teams who would be out if he's 5'10" 180. On Hoge and Jahns an "expert" guest said he is smaller than Kyler (acknowledged Kyler is heavier/built thicker) Kyler's combine numbers we 5' 10"/207 Shorter than Kyler? Yikes...so Young would be the shortest QB in the NFL. I think you can be successful as a sub-6 foot QB and guys like Kyler, Russ Wilson and Brees have proven that, but at some point height becomes an issue.

    Doesn’t he have til Thursday technically? Isn’t there a 3 day period where a player can reconsider after the deadline? So he can declare he’s staying at OSU today for the deadline, but then change his mind on Weds if he wanted. Friday is the “official” day. Or am I wrong? Thought I saw this in an article recently. Does it only go the other way? You can declare and then retract within the grace period? Yeah...those that have declared for the draft have 72 hours after the deadline to change their minds

    I think that was Summerall. Al Michaels wasn’t part of that broadcast

    Couldn’t he DH too? Who is the current DH, Madrigal?

    Hmm

    Day 1 is only the 1st round. They aren't getting 4-5 1st round picks They're doing a 3 day draft this year? I thought it was 1-2 the first day? Or is it 1 the first day, 2-7 the next? For the last several years its been 1st round on Thurday, 2-3 and Friday, 4-7 on Saturday

    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. I don't see that as the same. When someone trades a top 3 pick its usually because there is a high profile QB available and the team holding that pick is set at QB. The Bears trading the number 1 pick with Fields on the roster doesn't mean that teams think Bryce Young must suck. It just means that the Bears are satisfied with their young QB and value getting multiple future high picks instead.

    Imagine making the playoffs and having to start Skylar Thompson or Anthony Brown.

    Umm so this is interesting
  17. UMFan83
    You mean the players mocked to be drafted, or which teams own which picks for 2023? I meant the order that teams pick. Tankathon, click on the NFL tab

    They will want to jump the Texans and the Texans won't want teams to jump them. The teams will absolutely have to want a specific one. Between Young, Levis, Richardson, and Stroud I don't see a lot of separation. This isn't a Peyton Manning draft. I wish it was. It’s funny I see this take but I also see the take that Bryce Young is that generational talent that teams want badly. I agree the drop off from Young to Stroud/Levis is sizable to where if they aren’t getting Young they’d be content with waiting it out. I could be wrong but that’s what I’ve seen.

    Division opponent - requires an extra 1st than anyone else Say they offer 6/18/2nd plus ‘24 1st, do you turn it down? I know its a hypothetical but I don't think they would come close to that offer. I think Goff played well enough this year that they are confident moving forward with him for now, or at least in the position where they aren't going to mortgage the future to draft a potential franchise QB, especially by trading all those picks to a division rival. In making this post I looked up his stats this year and while I knew he had a solid year I didn't know they were this good: 65.1% completion percentage (19th in NFL) 4438 yards (6th in NFL) 7.6 YPA (6th) 29 TD (5th) 7 INT (6th least of QBs who threw for 2000+ yards) 99.3 QB Rating (7th) 61.2 QBR (5th) He's only 28, still has 2 years on his deal and while its an improvement over his prior 3 years, he has had a couple of similar seasons with the Rams so its not like its a complete outlier.

    Lmao

    Michigan would have lost too but I’d like to think they would have kept it a little closer. Who knows
  22. UMFan83
    So, Steelers have had 3 coaches since when the Beatles were still together and the Texans have had 4 coaches roughly since Trump lost the election. Amazing.

    Why exactly would the Ravens not franchise or extend Lamar? Are they blowing it up?
  24. UMFan83
    I don’t mind that trade if you are dead set on giving Fields ample weapons. Moore might be the best possible WR that the bears can acquire. That said I’d rather do that trade but with the Colts/Pittman Like Pittman better or just like staying in the top 4 more? Like staying in the top 4 more. I like Pittman as a WR though, just a little less than Moore.
  25. UMFan83
    I'd be pretty disappointed if that was all they got for the #1 overall pick. Effectively, in that trade, DJ Moore would have to be worth the equivalence of another 1st round pick. The gap in value between 1 and 9 is immense. I don’t mind that trade if you are dead set on giving Fields ample weapons. Moore might be the best possible WR that the bears can acquire. That said I’d rather do that trade but with the Colts/Pittman
