If I had to guess, Getz is a bit snake bit from last year releasing Pillar/Tim Hill, etc at their low points only to recover. He may be granting a longer leash...though with Vaughn we don't have to release him.

Vaughn is so pathetic

Probably because the pitcher just threw four pitches nowhere near plate and he goes up ready to swing pitch one at a low ball

Man pitching staff could finish this off under 90 pitches

We got poles to stop drafting in round 3, now just need him to stop drafting LBs in round 4

Not sure I understand the objection there, he acquired a bunch of legit starters. If you worry about next year, rookie lineman aren’t always a better option, Even with LT, the idea was to get protection against Jones injury, but by time they selected, only Connelly would have been a maybe upgrade and available this year,

We ended up behind a couple of runs but full picture…likely a few meaningful guys, an extra pick, and needs mostly met (except S and Edge) Not bad. Least happy with Ozzy, reminds me of Borom.

Poles avoiding his biggest enemy of the third round

So glad they did this trade

Second round OTs have usually been fools gold anyway. I’d say an OT cap casualty is more likely

Ok would I have taken another skill guy? No. Do I love Luther Burden, have so many special memories of Luther burden, and now get to watch him for the bears? f*** yes, I do.

I always thought Denver was available. Would have done Derrick Harmon personally. Those teams aren't idiots ...but if a future first was available that would have been sweet *20 to 10 should not be that, only Ryan Pace ever paid that price.

I would say Ray is right though, this pick is ultimately not to coexist with Kmet. Bears need more players that can play on time in this system. It’s not just Caleb. Keenan, kmet were slow off the line and to get to their spots. Loveland is getting those targets.

Ideally. But you can’t argue with the production

I would have too. He at least had correct body, measurable and a plausible upside argument. Just crazy because that would be a guy in the 20s normally. I would have liked Jalon walker too but it was so clearly a not good fit in the scheme. I hope we get the bc edge…but again…great talent but bad fit for us. He’d be destined to be a DPR. For as much as it was discussed bears didn’t have major holes…they have an injured LT, concussion prone S, no pass rush. Feasible options to get real talent in second round but if they go S/Edge the o line really needs investment starting next year.

I’m more disappointed we could not get back into the first to get conerly/simmons, but when the falcons give up a future first to get back into…well let’s just say I’m relieved we didn’t do anything stupid. this draft sucks…do NOT trade for more value in this draft at the expense of next year…our first relatively covid free set of players.

Problem is drafting a bad player at a better position doesn’t help team building either. They can also trade kmet. this draft had 2 blue chip players, a bunch of good TEs/RBs, off-ball LBs and a bunch of tweeters at premium positions. At least he is proper size and speed without character concerns.

Not a lot of trade downs. this draft just was really bad. I wouldn’t draft a TE at 10…but also it is unusual to be at 10 and have such a dearth of premium positions prospects with the appropriate size or not horrendous character flags. Ballard is a “premium position” guy and took a TE at 14. Probably one of the more popular trade downs rumors with the bears was with Denver…so they could take a TE. Im just glad we didn’t trade up or do anything stupid. This felt like a 2013 draft where we’ll look back and just be amazed how few starters were available on the first round, let alone impact. Id probably still have tried with Mykell Williams. But I’d have lower confidence he’d be a long term starter than Loveland.

I just think they should find an injury that vaughn is suffering through for a bit. I'm skeptical Elko is good, but similar to Remillard...he's a player that isn't as stained by the stink of losing. Better than Remilliard - he's led winning teams since college (maybe not all true). Meanwhile all I can think about with Vaughn is how unbelievably dumb we are.

Greg Jones...Lotta great memories there.

I’m sorry but there is no way that is true. Is that true? I’d expect we are 10 runs at least ahead of last year

Them at 35% is great. The reinsdorf failsons and father having fifty percent is incredibly depressing. There is no “not selling but passing chairman role to ishbias”, we are just stuck with this miserable moron.

Greenberg seems to have given it tacit approval

Worst thing I’ve ever seen

The white Sox signed him (because they are idiots)
