    I'm not worried the Bears reached to get an OL, I think they legitimately thought he was BPA available, which is crazy. Of course I'm no fan of consensus thought, but I'm highly skeptical here. He better win a starting jpb from day one. I was willing to give McClellin more than a year to judge thd pick, but not this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Roses is basically using up the majority of his goodwill that he gained over his first 4 years with the Bulls. He was accessible, said all the right things, won an MVP, led the team to the best record in the NBA 2 years in a row, etc. People are frustrated, but the media is going to treat him better than Cutler, who is known to be aloof. I gotta tell ya, I'm chuckling over everyone losing their minds on this. When he comes back, and is his usual self, especially if he has an improved jumper, none of that is going to matter. Everybody's gonna be all giddy that he's back, and move along happily watching him, buying his jerseys, and forgetting that this year even happened. I don't know about forget. Things will be more or less back to normal, but a lot of fans (especially the meatballs, and on this subject I admit to having some meatbally tendencies) aren't going to just fail to remember that he basically punted a season. Unless/until, of course, he leads a team to a championship, which as we've seen over and over again is the cure-all for any athlete, especially an NBA player. LOL @ DRose leading a team to a championship If LeBron James isn't a thing, he already has one most likely. WTF does that mean? If Michael Jordan isn't a thing, about a dozen additional stars in the 90s have rings. Means nothing. There's always going to be a dominating star for an era. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Plus theres the fact that extra time off really isn't going to help heal his knee. The surgery was either successful and he'll be back stronger than ever like AP or it wasn't as successful and he'll have lost something forever. But physically there is no more healing left to do. The actual ligament has been fine since sometime in late 2012 (not suggesting you can come back that soon obviously as rehabbing is a huge chunk of the recovery process, but all signs point to Derrick's rehab having gone excellent). Maybe it wasn't successful and Derrick has lost an element he will never get back. And perhaps thats his issue, he thinks he can get back to that point, although actually getting on the court is the only way to get there, if at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Go to the bathroom for an occasional "poop." Problem solved. Its funny how easy it is to get diarrhea the night of tge draft. Shouldn't have gotten Taco Bell for lunch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yea it basically just takes extreme discipline to only draft BPA. I did a draft that I copy and pasted the top 20 every time I could, just so I could track who had been there the longest. Still topped out at 4200. Was good for the highest score in that draft. Not sure how those 5000 scores are possible, other than maybe cumplulsive playing until you hit the extreme end of the luck bell curve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It's possible, I just think if there is a change it'll primarily be due to wantin to do something different the second time around rather than new information that has come out. Star's issues were well known when we did the first round and Werner's still a guy who should go late in the first but is a top 10 candidate. I do agree we may see some differences in the 2 first rounds, but it'd probably be for reasons other than new information changing people's opinion of who they chose initially. I don't think there is a ton of new info on players, but more info on certain teams thought process. So depending on how you do your picks, you may choose a new player if additional rumors came out in regards to that team, rather than the player. If you picked based on what you would do, I agree there is less likely to be info to change your mind. I know in years past we did the first round much earlier and this year was a much faster pace, so should be less change in general. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    All it takes is one of the top 5 or 6 to change what happens next, and the Jets/Tampa trade certainly throws a wrench. I would be shocked if we went through the first 12 with the same selections. Other than changing it up just for the same of changing it up, I'm not sure what new information is out there to change the first 12 picks. We've not had anybody rise a huge amount or anybody's stock collapse either. I wouldn't be stunned if the first 12 picks stay exactly the same if we redo it. That said I'm more than willing to do it if the interest is there. Its impossible to say what certain posters will do, but just in the top five I could see Star and Werner dropping and Fischer going 4. You may still see about 80% of the same picks, but a different order. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yea its really disheartening to hear fans get excited about trades when a player does well rather than just, you know, being excited we have a player playimg well. Sure come July it may be in our best interest to sell high on some Journeyman veteran, but I'd like to just hope it correlates into more winning for the time being. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I won't be suprised if they do, but not suprised if they don't either. I think it depends on whos there. Cant be worried about pushing off an unknown like Carimi or guys on one year deals like Webb and Slauson. Good note about Cooper though. Now I can prep myself for when we pass on him. And even though he us enticing I'm okay with that as long as I like the player we'd opt for over him. The most disappointing thing is they seem content with Garza. I suppose they can get a C prospect in rd 4 and they would need a year to groom anyways, but Garza is just bad now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Trade up if both are available at 18. No way I'd trade up, especially if both are there. I'd take my chances one falls. If not trade down or get someone else, depending on who falls. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Didnt Soldier Field have that then lose it when the spaceship landed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. WrigleyField 22
    I don't understand this sentiment. They have positioned themselves so they can justify selecting just about any position with the 1st pick, outside of QB and RB. Damn jersey I don't ever agree with you but you're spot on. I might add S to that list. Partially because I doubt at 20 S could be BPA. Seems like their are too many teams with a need that will drive up the price and not really any cant miss types. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    "more of a receiving option"? no way they go tight end. Wasn't there just an ESPN article saying Ertz was tge TE they were looking at? I'm sure its 90% smokescreen with Emery anyways. Just can't wait until the draft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. WrigleyField 22
    Could Emery work a deal with the guy that booted him out of his job in Atlanta before recommending him to KC? If Trufant is there its possible. I wouldn't mind him on the Bears though, so depends on the board. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Don't remember, but maybe had something to do with the expansion of the passing game, and thus more receivers being on rosters. The teens were pretty much just QB's before, right? Might have been a few punters or kickers with those numbers, but yeah, pretty much just the QB's. I seem to recall guys sharing numbers in camp and then at roster cuts, guys would switch to available numbers if they surprisingly made the team. I could be wrong, but it seems like KeyShawn Johnson was the first guy to wear a teens number. He was the first and only for a long time. They should just go to college rules. Down lineman 50-79. Eligible Receivers. 1-49, 80-89. Defense, doesn't matter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not a bad draft. I know its unrealstic, but I just want to fill so many areas with depth DT, CB, LB, WR, OG but you just can't do it in one draft. If we can pick up one extra top 75-90pick it will be a good thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
