Could there be something in the works regarding DeSean Jackson? Dear god, that would be ridiculous. What are they saying Jackson would cost? I doubt whatever the assets it would take would be worth it from the Bears perspective.

That seems like two different answers.

How much does our Rookie Pool figure to cost? Also how much room do you really need to operate in season? I thought something like only you're top 50 salaries count against the cap. Do you ever really sign guys for above minimum mid-season?

Or better books for Kristen.

Historical 3 Point performance from the SLU Billikens. Historically bad unfortunately.

Unless you just really wanna be a college basketball player anything over 6'4"-6'5" is just an inconvenience. I'm 6'4" and wouldn't wanna be any taller. My cousin is 6'9" and between airplanes, clothes, shoes, etc it doesn't sound that great.

Too bad for you NC State sucks Go Bills!

We better be getting some cash for #PTR in the deal.

Kyle was a pessimist while everyone else was still pretty optimistic and now that everyone else sunk to his level if misery he's switching course. He's either a forward thinking visionary or a hipster.

Everyone wanted Hawes. RealGM was one big Hawes love fest. At the risk of remembering incorrectly I always liked the pick but also understood the Hawes hype. But basically the things I liked about Noah were true, as are the things that makes Hawes a decent C in this league. Noah is just a lot better at his skillet than Hawes is at his.

I don't mind the Cutler structure but I'm feeling like they should try to free up a little bit extra from his deal (or Jennings or Slauson) to get one more vet DL before the draft- not sure what the market is like. I'm still in the BDPA mindset but DL is definitely looking a bit more glaring to me. S obviously has concerns, but I think I agree with the theory that if you fix the front 7 the S play will rise. There are a lot of DT I like in the 1-2 round range. Not sure someone like Donald is gonna be an Emery guy though. I see more of a mauler, though with some athleticism too. Someone like Nix or Hageman look like good bets to fit across schemes. Seems like a decent chance one of those guys may fall into the second.

They should use the supercomputer to compute how to oust Tunney from office. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Man I'd even accept a conditional pick. That said Carolina needs WR bad now so I'm sure we could make out alright here.

I know one of the biggest things of the wheel was players opting out of drafts to get the ideal timing, but it seems to me the fix is pretty simple- make all players draft eligible at whatever age (19 or 20 I'm sure they'd choose). I think 17 or 18 would be better. After age 21/22 if they're not drafted their just eligible as FA. Teams hold their draft rights for life unless the player sits out of competitive basketball for a whole year. Other than your generational talents, it really just evens things out by way of randomization because teams are going to eventually be drafting almost exclusively HS talent. Then it's like hockey where they can go and play college or international or minor leagues or make the straight jump (if the team wants them to sign them right away that is). Look at all the top college picks in a given year and how many weren't 5 star recruits out of HS. Suddenly mid round and second round picks are investments on the future. Sure some team is still going to get extremely lucky every several years when the next Lebron James turns draft-eligible age, but in most other drafts the best player a. Wasn't picked first and b. Wasn't the consensus top player at age 17/18. At the same time rarely does a player completely come out of nowhere to where he wouldn't be drafted amongst his peers (especially if you also expand the draft by 2-3 rounds). All way less effective if you bump up the draft age again, but still effective at taking away player control. To make sure it will work reach out to NCAA with your intentions ahead of time so they can set their rules regarding advisor contact or whatever that's going to be allowed. I do agree though that there has to be a holistic approach and evening out FA in hand with this would be a good step to allow teams to rebuild.

I think both Lake and Vitters need some time at AAA. Both have some promising tools that should get everyday and consistent work against competition that's appropriate. Both could get another few hundred AB at AAA before I felt it was definitely time for them to move on. They could both fade at AAA or prove their ready (mainly by improving on peripherals, and in Vitters case also Defense at a new position).

I wouldn't expect detailed scheme plans but are we at least assuming "hand in dirt or not" was discussed? I don't imagine Peppers would make the switch to OLB this late in his career but maybe he doesn't care since it's probably his last big contract. Despite his rep as a pass rusher can't see him taking more than a 10-12 snaps at OLB per game (in specific situations). As a DE in a 3 front it will be a little different but he does have quite a bit experience moving inside in the 4 front.

My three but opposite order if I had to specify.

Corey Patterson is the only one in that group hyped as much as the core four. I don't think any of the other guys made the top 30 like these guys have. No but the point kind of remains. Sure, we're not gonna go 0-fer with this group but we'll need some FA help and even a slight delay on a couple guys can push back their timetable

Dennard and Gilbert seem like good picks at that spot and it really seems like a DT could fall into trade up territory in Rd2. I have read its a good CB draft though. Overall I'm really just in BDPA mode for rounds 1 and 2 and probably 3. Not at all interested in trading down though. We could also fall into the DE/OLB rusher category for round 1 as our signings point towards some system flexibility.

Don't need vaccines when you have Cutler genes and Cavalari milk. Don't you guys watch the league. Cutty probably has Polio but since he doesn't care it doesn't even effect him. But seriously Jay is an idiot

Won't take that much magic at this point.

If it were up to me, at best, I would only have 1 of the 4 in, and at 30. I'm surprised how people seem to be so low on amaya now. yeah. This. Amaya is 2nd on my list right now behind Cabrera. I can't believe no one thinks these 2 are top 30 guys anymore. Amaya is a top 30 for me and probably 4th in my list now. My top two-three hasn't changed much though in a few rounds.

I hope they trade 5 first rounders for him.

3/30 with 20 guaranteed? I think I gotta pass on that one. If we're shifting to a more hybrid approach anyways we can find better fits with a lot less cap.

Eben Brtitton gonna make the shift from TE to RB.
