McIntosh, DT, Miami Kalen Ballage, RB, Arizona State Jamarco Jones, OT, Ohio State Qu…

So it goes 1 Young QB. CAR 2. Stroud QB Hou 3 Anderson Edge trade Hou 4. Richardson QB Ind 5 Witherspoon CB Sea 6. Paris Johnson Jr LT trade Arizona

Well, we are less than an hour from the draft kick off. I thought I'd start a thread to discuss general draft thoughts about all teams and picks.

Looking back 8 years of pick #7. 2015-? 2014- Mike Evans WR Tampa 2013-Jonathan Cooper G Arz 2012-Mark Barron SS Tampa 2011-Aldon Smith DE SF 2010-Joe Hayden CB Clev 2009-Darrius Heyward-Bey WR Oak 2008-Sedrick Ellis DT NO 2007-Adrian Peterson RB Min

1. Barrett Jones, C, Alabama --Love 2. DJ Fluker, T, Alabama --Love 4. Gerald Hodges, OLB, Penn State --Good pick and value. 5. Zach Sudfeld, TE, Nevada --6'6, 255 pounds, 45 catches and 9 TD's this past year. 6. Aaron Mellette, WR, Elon --6'3, 220 pounds, 97 catches and 18 TD's in 2012. 7. DJ Harper, RB, Boise State --Smaller back at 5'9, 205 but had 15 TD's this past season. (the comments under each player are my comments)

I seen a article on PFF that compares who the player turns into as a comparision of existing NFL players. If they turn out to be similar players, who would you take. I am going to only list the players most being considered to draft at #3. J. Allen-----Sheldon Richardson J. Adams-----Eric Weddle S. Thomas-----Michel Bennett M. Lattimore---Desmond Trufant M. Hooker-----Reggie Nelson Other than the potenial to take a QB, who of these players would have the biggest affect on our team if they turn into these players. I would have to say, Weddle or Richardson would be the best choices.

Here is where the Bears are being drafted for FFB. Our top positional player is Burton, a top-10 TE. Trubisky - 25th QB, ADP 124.7, 13th Round pick, behind Mahomes, Mayfield, Keenum, Taylor, and just ahead of Jackson who is not even the starter. I figure he will end up in the middle of the league, 12th-16th but I don't see him as the 25th best QB in the league. Howard - 14th RB, ADP 30.0, behind McCaffery and McKinnon, and barely ahead of Mixon. Howard gets no love every year. A perennial top-10 RB and he is rarely drafted there (except in Bears leagues lol). Cohen - 35th RB, 108.8 ADP, this actually seems about right for a #2 RB, and if he is also returnin…

I'm thinking of signing up for NFL Field Pass so I can listen to the Bears broadcast call rather than the idiots that normally call the games. I do have a program that can record audio from an application so the thought came to mind to record the games and replace the audio with the Bears announcers. Would make for a cool option on a DVD to select either the original broadcast audio or the Bears call. I can usually get the broadcast on the radio but the signal comes and goes. Has anyone here had it in the past, has it this year and has an opinion on whether it's worth it or not?

For those looking to get all the Bears games but don't care if you can't watch them live. I just got NFL Game Rewind (works on computers/tablets/phones) and it is awesome. I am actually impressed and it is much better than the NFL Sunday Ticket stream I had last year. Some pretty neat features (Condensed games, Coaches film, archived games, slow mo, etc). Archived games go all the way back to 2009 and you can watch SB games as well. I just watched the GB game from last year. That Boykin TD is still BS in my opinion, that should've been blown dead.

What do you think of this consensus? http://www.windycitygridiron.com/2017/6/6/...-mitch-trubisky

Jalen Carter over Darnell Wright.

NFL Live has been successively breaking down how they feel about each division in the league, here's the NFC North. Always fun to see what the CW is coming in to a season.

Cutler flips a football at a defender and is fined $10000. No injury whatsoever there. Jared Allen intentionally leaves his feet on an illegal blindside block and drives into the head of his opponent with his helmet, giving him a concussion and tearing his knee apart in the process. Punishment for this is only twice as much as flipping a football at someone: $21000. Nonetheless I'm off to get my flight to Chicago and will be at Sunday's game against Seattle. Thankfully the forecast says this Arizonan will be in 60 degree weather.

Now has anyone ever considered that his blood sugar levels could be affecting his play/decision making? Having first hand experience with Type 1 Diabetes, their blood sugar is always on their mind, and there are times where they are just "off". Lows cause shakiness, confusion, dizziness, etc. Just thought this was a interesting take on the situation as it is rarely discussed or mentioned in the media.

http://blogs.nfl.com/2011/09/05/giants-de-...irst-two-games/ Not a chance in hell... Personally love Briggs in this Defense. Plus we have nobody else, why I feel he is doing this, and cuz he is a dick regardless. Anyway, would love those bookends, but here is another example of JAs shitty drafts. When was the last time we took a LB with any intention of him playing? Briggs? This coming draft better be full of LB/DBs and of course OL whenever they can...
