That's a tad critical for me. My full expectation, keeping Justin, was to win ten games. Now, that we will have Caleb pulling the trigger, I expect a little less. Growing pains, regardless of talent, definitely happen. However, I'm expecting 12-13 wins next year, even with our division being on the rise.

That's the way I see it brother...

Roman Wilson would be nice...

Love it!...💪

Was listening to Peggy and Dion this afternoon and they had some good Caleb stuff. Evidently he's been having zoom meetings with the staff. The meetings have all been orientation/transition based and what to expect salary wise. A lot of talk about playing in structure and taking the win when it presents itself. He also did an interview with Ryan Clark and talked about himself as a person. He's been living on his own since highschool, where his parents put him in an apartment so he could play at the best high school. In his formative years, he was provided the best training, because he wanted only to be the best. He also talked about crying. He said the last time that happened was in fourth grade when he and his team lost a championship game. He started that he didn't even feel like crying when he jumped to his mother, but as she touched him he just lost it. He and his buddies joke about it now, making memes with him and Jordan crying in the same picture. I think we're getting a dude Chicago is going to love, from his raw honesty and immense talent.

Slow your roll big fella. Vegas has us at 8.5. I'm taking the over.

Bowers will be a problem if he goes to the right situation. (In a good way) He can line up anywhere on the field. Deebo can't even do that. I said it months ago, that I believe he might be the best weapon in the draft.

I wouldn't. I believe he has been over hyped, with me being complicit as well. The more I see and hear, he has the biggest bust potential of the big three. Folks talk about Odunze making a lot of congested catches, for to lack of separation. I see the same with MHJ. He didn't work out in any of the explosion drills, which may have seen him running in the 4.5's. He was smart to rest on his laurels and not jeopardize anything with a bad forty. MHJ definitely has the pedigree, skill set and production though. Didn't get me wrong, I think he's worth drafting highly, just not trading up for.

He's not arguing that Spielman is right. He's stating that he trusts him and others like him over less football centric folks that haven't played, coached or scouted professionally. It's the same way I think due to the smallest of things they know, that we don't. As an example, I was a very good baseball player and was asked to walk on at IU. However, I was very untrained as an athlete due to poor coaching. These dudes knew so much more than me mentally and physically. I didn't stick. Skip forward 30 years to me coaching my son in baseball. I thought I was doing alright until a former pro can't to work with me. I quickly made him the coach and learned directly from a pro. It was night and day. He still knows more than he can ever teach. After that we got another pro in the coaching tree and these dudes speak a different language that the rest of us can't keep up with. They are the real deal and they know we aren't. So, here we are, only giving opinions and eye test analysis. I think I know OL and DL better than most on here, because that's what I used to be. But if I'm talking to a pro, I always acquiesce to their knowledge. Do they get things wrong? Absolutely. Do we get things right? Yes. But they get more right than we do by a long shot.

Historically, the higher the pick, the better chance of success. OL happens to be the king of that stat...

He's shooting up because he initially was slated as an OT, then OG, now center. He can literally pay any position on the OL. His arms are slightly short for an LT, but was all ACC at it.(Longer than JPJ though) He'll make a great center prospect, as will JPJ. They are running 1 and 2 depending on who you look at.

I would on the condition that we could parlay picks to somehow get back in the top twenty and get another second rounder. It would be tough sledding though, Poles would have to have a trade partner in advance. Odds are a strong no.

I drafted the best center prospect with my trade. Barton will probably go before JPJ. (JPJ has a concussion history) He started out as a center and ended up at left tackle because he was so athletic. The boards are changing that way. If be happy with either.

I'm drafting him to be an OG, since I don't trust any of our guards. He would be an absolute animal next to Wright. Let Davis and Jenkins battle it out. Since Waldron runs a lot of two and three TE sets, strength up the middle is more useful. (Kinda like Sean Peyton runs) I've been criticized for drafting him so high to be OG, but where would you draft Larry Allen if you thought he would be that dude?

Fine with me. Play all you want. Respect is what it is. I know where I stand now.
