  1. lmao reporting is that one of the reasons there was such confusion and backtracking is they were initially still relying on the interpreter to tell ohtani what was happening as they were explaining it.
  2. As I said though…I’d rather they sweep this under the rug
  3. I agree, I just don't particularly like this group. Would be happier with Murphy at 9 than Verse, whom I just think is way too low ceiling.
  4. you probably know banks more than me but I can't imagine merely having access to an account would allow you to WIRE millions without it setting off some checks that would have found their way to Ohtani.
  5. It's not BAD, but it's definitely the worst case scenario. It leaves them less likely to be able to trade out if they had enough first round grades, and leaves them out on a likely OT1 and all three top WRs (who are brought up a lot because they are really good WR prospects).
  6. So Athletic just posted a plausible worst case scenario mock (IMO) 1. Caleb 2. Daniels 3. (Vikings Trade Up) Maye 4. MJH 5. Nabers 6. Odunze 7. Alt 8. (Broncos trade up) McCarthy 9. Dallas Turner Worst case to me? Can't get top 3 receiver AND miss out on the trade out opportunity for JJ. MAYBE people want to trade in for CB1 or Edge 1 or jump Jets for OT2. But it'll be tough.
  7. I don't see how this wasn't a cover up but also kinda hoping they cover it up.
  8. Oh so the opposite of drafting a Receiver not being worth anything without great tackles and it destroying the QB.
  9. This is literally the Ja'Marr Chase / Penei Sewell debate and you'll never guess what happened
  10. I’m with you. I think at some point I’d prefer to be like the packers and live on later round receivers…but what separates edge and WR is good edges hit FA but only decent WR2s may hit the market and then get WR 1 money. OT though is tough, they also don’t become available.
  11. Eh, he grew up in DC,, and Oklahoma, both certainly more mild than Chicago but not like the dude has never seen snow. Also, the league is riddled with QBs mostly from california. Big 10 QBs have not been the dominant force despite the tough defenses and worse weather preparing them.
  12. It has definitely started to become chalk now with 4 QBs in top 8. That is wild, but hard to see that happening without a WR getting to 9. But I"m sure we'll find that it's far from certain. I think it will be too hard to say no to Odunze/Nabers. But I'm good trading down just want a WR.
  13. This is the nastrini train sir
  14. Getz gonna bring him up for opening day and Grifol gonna sit him on the bench to have him learn by watching.
  15. Choo Choo this is the train to get aboard for Nastrini [x] Tremendous Stubble [x] Does not give up runs [x] Hat fits well [ ] Cy Young Will he get there?
  16. I think getting an edge now, or Byron Murphy, is totally defensible, as is getting a tackle. BUT, it sure feels like, even while expensive, that top edge talent comes available far more often than top ten receiver talent right now. Packers showed you can build a top WR corps in later rounds, but bears...have not. May be last shot at getting a well rounded bigger, faster, stronger guy to anchor the corps regardless. I'd take Odunze if he is there, but also would be ok if they traded down and took an AD Mitchell / Brian Thomas. They earned the ability to take them by not needing them year 1.
  17. Also the sheer number of notre dame fans that live in chicago where it was the only game they saw of him and how fans love to take the position of someone being "overrated"
  18. Lawrence is in no way a massive bust. He still threw for 4,000 yards. He’s a definite long term starter but they definitely suffered without Kirk. Ridley had way too many drops. Fully expect him back to 2022 self next year.
  19. I mean it was never the highlight plays. Honestly he was probably one of the better Red Zone QBs I imagine. But he just so consistently took a ten yard sack rather then finding a 5-6 yard gain and we could never get in field position. Add the fumbles to the sacks and it just destroyed the value he provided with his legs.
  20. And I say that because that is 4 different orgs. 1 was the best development situation of all time (Lance). Utter failure. Pats developed best QB of all time. Consistently drafted later round QBs and flipped them (Garoppolo was equal value, but others as well). By year three they hated him. Jets and Bears both equal strugglers. But Jets have Wilson a strong defense and a damn good skill room for wide outs. Failure. The jags have Lawrence the worst first year set up of all time. He’s a sure long time starter.
  21. I know the packers are an opposite end here but I see this and I think to myself the idea that the great QBs were “developed” is extremely overrated. Feels more like 60% luck, 30% scouting and 10% development. I think you take the risk on a fields because the arm, accuracy when set and athleticism is worth seeing if he could improve his processing and sack avoidance. It didn’t work out. And while he could have had better stats in other orgs, I’m honestly not sure the degree better, certainly not to a top 15 QB imo.
  22. To be fair given what guards went for in free agency, getting a locked in 2 year 8 mill deal for a guard you like may be worth the price. Just like if Allen was cut, no guarantee he chooses Chicago.
