Will Vera be up before Abreu retires???!

Mena seems low doesn't he? I haven't been able to keep up that much, but his stats and the way this board talks about him, I was a little surprised to see him at 19.

I believe I heard on the radio he's still near the top of the league in barrells this season. If that is the case, it sounds like he's been a bit unlucky. Not sure where to find that stat, but I'm sure someone else can confirm.

The over/under right now is at 6.5....I can definitely see them hitting the over. Now that might just be 7, but if I had to bet, I'd take the over. Split with Minny and Detroit, and wins against Houston, Atlanta, Miami, and a New York sweep.

Bears are adding Dante Pettis and Tajae Sharpe. 2 guys of mild interest who once had some promise. I remember Pettis having a good stretch his rookie year and me being happy to pick him up in fantasy football. I also remember drafting Sharpe one year in fantasy football and thinking he was gonna be a steal..... probably just guys who will battle it out for the 4th and 5th spot with EQ and Moore. Dante is Gary Pettis son.

Sooooo, what are we making of all the Lavine talk? If he does indeed want out, I hope they could swing a sign and trade. Portland wants him, idk what sort of leverage they'd have, but could they get their first this year AND Simons or Jusef?

I absolutely agree. I hope Ebner gets some rub to. He looks like he can be a fun player to watch. I would not be surprised if he becomes the #2.

I mean, yes, I absolutely think so..I'm not sure what stats to look at here as to what you're looking for but last year the Falcons were 15th in passing yards and they had 3900 yards....the Bears had 3600....Do I think they could throw for 25 more yards per game, absolutely. Then when I look at the Packers weapons, who Getsy comes from and we're in the top 10 in offense, I absolutely think they can match what they did. Adams>>>>Mooney obviously, but beyond that, the production you're not getting from Mooney vs Adams is gonna be made up across the board. I think ALL the Bears secondary weapons are better than the Packers secondary weapons.

Depends on what you consider normal levels. Lol.

Yeah, I'm definitely with you on the line. I'd be super bummed and a little surprised if they don't bring in a LT. I guess with sooooo many bodies they might be able to find a competent guard. Poles said he needs to see guys in pads. I just hope the limited market doesn't pass him by.

Good find, I hadn't heard that. Dude was legit buried behind 3 guys who might be #1 WRs. One guy just had 900 yards in his rookie season, another just put up 1000 in his 2nd season, and the 3rd just got drafted 8th overall. I don't expect Velus to be a #1, but if he comes in and gives you even 50 catches for 600ish yards, and stretches the field with his 4.31 speed, it's a quality 3rd round pick.

Is it possible, looking at how Fields performed with Robinson, who is more of a contested catch guy, that the Bears think he's gonna work better with guys like Pringle and Jones who created separation? I know everyone was clamoring for that big X reciever but maybe that's not Fields game. Poles sat down with Fields and looked over the recievers and they went with Jones.

More than covid, I'm sure there's been a player who's been stuck behind some really good players that end up being really good players themselves. I guess the question with that is why didn't he transfer sooner?

Poles and the FO seem to value separation va guys who can just go up and get it. Pringle ranked 2nd in the NFL in separation and Velus was 8n the 100th percentile among all college wide receivers in that stat as well. Mooney is good at creating separation too.

Worth noting that Velus was on USC teams with Amon St. Brown, Michael Pittman Jr., and Drake London. The QB position in Tennessee has been an absolute cluster these past 2 years. Last year the Vols had a WR drafted in the 3rd round as well and he only had 400 yards.
