I assume tray lives close to the park and loves his own commute to games. So he’s just being selfish about the location.

How sad is it to debate which terrible and/or washed up outfielders should be on the roster?

Anyone think Poles would get a little crazy and try to trade up for Jer'Zhan Newton tomorrow night?

Yeah, it is a bit questionable but the Bills have a lot of holes to fill and they are trying to collect as many picks as possible. https://www.buffalobills.com/news/buffalo-bills-receive-no-32-overall-two-more-picks-from-kansas-city-in-exchange-for-no-28-overall-2024-nfl-draft

4.21 forty time. Would be interesting with Mahomes. And there it is.

“Bears selected Washington WR Rome Odunze with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Although the Bears were supposedly “very open for business” with their second first-rounder, they decided to stay put and continue to build out what is looking like an extremely impressive supporting cast for No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams. A deep dominator who turned into a prolific touchdown scorer for 2023 national title game participant Washington, Odunze (6’3/212) would have a claim to top-dog status in some receiver classes. Since Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers exist, he had to settle for “consensus No. 3” in this year’s group. Simply the most prolific deep wideout in the country, Odunze has vise-grip hands despite the sometimes volatile nature of that down-field role. Elite in contested-catch situations, Odunze also consistently adds extra yards after the catch. Odunze might have even better ball skills than Harrison. It’s Odunze’s hands and positioning that make him more — much more — than just a deep threat. He has the finer points of receiving down cold. That, combined with a size/speed game that is growing rare at the NFL level give Odunze “No. 1 overall receiver for the class” upside despite his stiff competition.”

Kirk Cousins already upset the Falcons used their 1st round pick on Penix Jr. rather than another player that could have helped the team immediately.

Yep, agreed. But the Bears have been so pathetic in that area, it isn’t all that impressive these days. ? Bears Single Season Passing Leaders #1) Erik Kramer (1995): 3,838 yards, 29 TD, 10 INT #2) Jay Cutler (2014): 3,812 yards, 28 TD, 18 INT

Ouch, Lions trade up to get a very needed CB — Terrion Arnold.

With two picks left (3rd and 4th rounders) I would expect a couple of those or one of those and an OL to develop.

How can he be so good at AAA and absolutely choke on every callup?

Looks like a member of Megadeth from the 80’s. Scuzzy bastard.

Vikings probably with the second best draft so far after the Bears, as far as filling needs.

I’m more surprised by the team that took Penix moreso than where he was taken. The Falcons pounced on him, even after locking up Cousins long-term?

Ryan Poles for Sox GM!

Totally, and we are going to see this every year in the draft from now on.

I’m sure someone may try to question these two picks if the unexpected happens and one or both guys bust, but Poles did exactly what I would have done in the same situation.

I can’t wait for Madden 2025 to come out, lol.

And Gerald Everett is a pretty good second TE.

Or when Caleb Williams was throwing passes to Odunze, Keenan Allen, and DJ Moore recently in a workout. Seems like the Bears knew who they were taking if he was there at #9.

Yep, for the present and the future, the WR group looks set. Now we can truly appreciate getting Allen for a 4th rounder with Odunze here long-term.

Take McCarthy, Minnesota. I hope he busts.

Makes me appreciate the Keenan Allen trade way more now, even if he is only a Bear for 1 or 2 seasons at his age. Perfect draft start.
