He reminds me of Cris Carter. Hopefully, he has the dog in him that Carter had.

Oh hell no, lol!

I get it, but I've been begging for it for two years and he's failed me. At this point, it's the only true black mark I give Poles. The middle must be solidified. Also, I cannot attest to being sober this evening, so my opinion may change by morning...

I'm on NFL Network.

We are 24 picks into the draft and the two best IOL products are still available. I'm not sure how we do it, but future picks are definitely abundant. I want Barton or JPJ...

You are getting info a full minute or two before me.

Completely agree. I was hoping for a trade, but Odunze is a Cris Carter type of receiver. Let's hope...

Loved his walk up! Nothing but business

This!

I believe Fields would get us 10 wins, this year. A lot of that has to do with the huge haul we could have received from trading the one. However, I think that's his limit. I honestly feel the same way about Hurts, Lamar, Mayfield, Cousins and Murray. (With Justin being at the low end of them)

I believe so.

I just screenshot this off the TV. It supports the OL principle that we like. Top need, center 92% success rate. Sign me up for a trade down and Graham Barton for the win!

If we go fourth round center, I'm taking Beaux Limmer.

I see what you did...?

Yup. If there is not a clear blue chip at nine, that he can't get at twenty, why not trade back and get two for one? Poles has put us in a great position. Not only has he exceeded my expectations, I have complete trust in him.

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...
