I am just hoping for a run on QBs in the top 10 to give the Bears options at #9. Also have a CB go in the top 8 would be amazing.

Guys I would look at from the 2nd round on: Ricky Pearsall and Xavier Legette, WR Ja'Tavion Sanders and Ben Sinnott, TE Kiran Amegadjie, OT and Cooper Beebee, OG Braden Fiske, DT and Adisa Isaac, Edge

Young's size would make him undraftable for me like someone with medical history. Stroud was the safer pick, but I did not expect Stroud to be that good.

Odds that 2 Bears are listed there?

Yeah, I was just responding. At this point there is not really any reason to compare them anymore. I was just posting Brugler's comments on Williams, as he has been pretty spot on with his assessments in terms of projections in the past. There are a whole bunch of other comments on other players of interest that I will post. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I was not expecting another Williams v. Fields thread, that was not my intention.

AZ, I was just pointing out the things that he said Fields needed to do or improve on, the "if he can" or "he needs to" or "he must", and he was spot on if you look at all of them. I really don't care about the things he did, those were outcomes visible in the eye ball test and stats. The things that were missing, absent, or lacking are just as important. What you can do is as important as what you can't do. These are Williams' and Fields' "Ifs, Needs to, and musts": CW 1. eyes need to be more efficient and manipulative 2. needs to take better care of the football 3. needs to be more consistent working on-schedule from the pocket JF 1. needs to be quicker eliminating things post-snap 2. needs to be better taking what the defense gives him instead of forcing throws 3. ball security needs work 4. needs to do a better job of avoiding hits 5. he must speed up his target-to-target progression reads and improve his urgency when the initial target is taken away 6. if he can quicken his reads and process Notice the difference? Williams coming out is a much more polished QB and player as a whole.

Super wild how accurate Brugler was on Fields in terms of the projection, not what he did good or bad in college, but what he needs to do in the NFL to fulfill his potential: "but he must speed up his target-to-target progression reads and improve his urgency when the initial target is taken away." "if he can quicken his reads and process."

Caleb Williams write-up:

17 days left until Caleb Williams is QB1 for the Bears. Pretty crazy that we may have the best QB in franchise history on the roster in less than 3 weeks. Key word "may" but man, I am pumped. I have not been this excited about a draft pick since the failed Trubisky pick. The trade up absolutely killed me, because when Pace did that, I was so sure it was going to be Watson. WTF was he thinking?

That is a smoke screen. Some GM wants him to drop.

Just saw a post about recent FA signed. The prices are coming way down. If feels like we are in bargain central until the draft.

I need to merge RAS score with Top-30 visit with Senior Bowl players. See who meets all 3 criteria. RAS over 9.0, a top-30 visit and played in the Senior Bowl. Poles is picking at least one guy that meets those.

I really like Gabriel Davis in the later rounds.

Blue Chip: Wright, Jenkins (when healthy), Kmet, Moore, Allen, Williams, and Swift (right as cusp) on offense, then Sweat, Edmunds, Edwards (under-rated), Johnson, Brisker, and Byard (not at peak) on defense. So I would say 11-13 if you want to exclude Swift or Byard. Ascending: Dexter, Stevenson, Gordon, #9 pick, and Roschon Also have to consider Santos a blue chip kicker.

I hadn't really looked into the physical traits too much, but they definitely prefer bigger dudes (Dexter, Sweat, Pickens, and even Edmunds).
