And yet we wonder why politics has been following the same exact path right? On one hand, the absurd “what if” theories on this week’s draft are entirely old. On the other, enough people buy into them that their immediate responsive actions to the absurd theories manipulate draft betting markets to give logical decisions more favorable odds, of which I am a big fan. 🤷♂️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe Hub started that ****. But it still got a chuckle out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He admits it is speculation, but people aren’t repeating it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it was just him. But he worded it like he was hearing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears are so sure CW is their guy that, after trading away Fields, they didn’t even meet with the other top QBs and then on his 30 visit sent him to dinner with his future teammates. I mean come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean come on. It's one of those. It's too obvious so it must be a smoke screen. But in reality it's just obvious because he's the obvious choice. By the way I watched the Ryan Clark interview with Caleb. Beyond what we know about him already but the kid is impressive. I encourage any of you guys to watch the interview if you have some downtime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a late rounder beyond that. But I've resigned myself to trading down from that pick. I know Ryan probably doesn't want to go down too far though because of his design to still add that blue chip player with that selection.

I know Ryan probably doesn't want to go down too far though because of his design to still add that blue chip player with that selection. I’m not putting any stock in that one either. Trading away premium assets would make more sense for me to fill the gaping hole we have at DE (though there’s certainly no prospect that justifies that this year). I love MHJ, but how much better would he have to be than Odunze or even Brian Thomas to justify trading away a 2025 1 and maybe more to get him when you already have a 27yo bona fide WR1 on the roster plus Keenan Allen at least short term? That’s fan logic, and for all we know about Poles thus far, he does not operate that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolutely is. It's just not realistic. Trading away a 1st next year is just not going to happen. I think they absolutely would ask for that too over the 2nd round pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOGRIESE Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 It'll be interesting if the Falcons have to surrender their pick this year for the Kirk Cousins tampering. That would work out extremely well for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would work out extremely well for us. It would seem unreasonably harsh to decide to take that away from them 3 days before the draft. Their entire draft strategy (and probably a good chunk of their offseason strategy overall) has been built around having that pick. I wouldn’t be upset at all - just don’t see that happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's going to be a 1st round pick but probably their next years pick. But it should be harsh. They've been trying to crack down on tampering hard. That would be a good deterrent.
