Chisoxfn Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Ebron has his flaws, but he's probably the most realistic TE target for the Bears. He's still young, was a high pick, and has put up some good numbers (w/Luck in Indy). That said, he has had some drop issues in the past. The reality is Henry (injury prone) and Hooper (Falcons will try and keep him and he's going to get PAID) are other options as well but I don't know Bears will get them. Ebron is going to get paid too (don't get me wrong). Hicks & Cohen evidently are recruiting Ebron and Ebron has already made some positive statements about Mitch this off-season. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1219095269221863425 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1219060574346207233 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1219076749490839552 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Ebron has had some bad drop issues on and off during his career. I hope if the bears get him, his hands work this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no one has faith in Pace finding a TE in the draft as good as Ebron, step one should be getting rid of Pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Guys, repeating "get rid of pace" isn't gonna make it happen. And it just drags the conversation down. also, as my guy @lostfan put so succinctly: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how the compensatory pick works, it has to do with the amount of free agents lost versus the ones signed? What do they do with Cohen if they draft a speed back and Montgomery is their bruiser? Everyone assumed they'd get a 5 for Mack but it was announced that it's a 7. @VicTafur: For your draft boards at home: #Raiders gave a conditional 5th to #Bears that became a 7th. Raiders have 7 picks: 2 in 1st round 3 in 3rd round 1 in 4th round 1 in 5th round Edited January 21, 2020 by soxfan49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even remember him being with the Bears, must have been in preseason. It also goes to show that you should never draft running back early in the draft or pay them big money.

Chubb, 2nd round McCaffrey, 8th overall Elliott, 4th overall C.Carson, 7th round Fournette, 4th overall J.

For all those guys, there is also a Aaron Jones (5th round), Phillip Lindsay (undrafted), Alvin Kamara (3rd round) and so on. Although, I do see the running game in the NFL kind of making a comeback. So maybe teams will start to value that position more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe teams will start to value that position more. Tyreek Hill is the most dangerous player in the NFL and went in the fifth. I guess you can argue he would have gone late first or second had he not played for West Alabama (as opposed to ‘Bama) and the DV charges from OklaState. On the field, Hill was utilized very evenly as a running back (25 carries for 237 yards and one touchdown), wide receiver (27 receptions for 444 yards and a touchdown), punt returner (20 returns averaging 10.7 yards with two touchdowns), and kick returner (also 20 returns averaging 23.0 yards with two touchdowns). In his 11 games for the team, he never exceeded 100 yards rushing or receiving, and averaged 135 all-purpose-yards until a 307-all-purpose-yard burst against Delta State in Game 8. After this, his production tapered off quickly to a season-ending -3 all-purpose-yards against the North Alabama Lions.[19] The 49ers might want to talk to that N.Alabama defensive coordinator.

Yeah, Hill was probably going to be a early first round guy if wasn't a garbage human. I think he ran like a 4.26 40 yard dash or something like that. I'm curious to what Henry Ruggs runs, he could put up numbers like that. He is my dream player for the Packers, but I think he goes top 15-20 this year.

The Saints this year were the first 13-3 team to lose in the wild card round. Literally the worst 13-3 team ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Pettine would be an upgrade over Pagano and if GB fired him I'd launch Chuck in about 2 seconds to bring him in. Arkush glows about him, and says he's a better DC than Fangio.
