Xavier Rhodes and Harrison Smith named first team All Pros.

Everton Griffen and Adam Thielen are second team All Pros.

Glad Smith got All Pro despite the Pro Bowl snub. He’s the only player on the Vikings I think is unquestionably the best at his position.

here's the list of Bears All-Pros from recent 1st round draft picks

2017 1st: Trubs. 30th in the league in rating
2016 1st: Leonard Floyd. currently dead, was good before dying
2015 1st: Kevin White: dead, also super bad when alive
2014 1st: Kyle Fuller: was dead, got better, did ok and now wants to get paid
2013 1st: Kyle Long: dead
2012 1st: Shea McLellin: sucked, won SB with pats because why not

Kyle Long has at least made a couple of pro bowls. You know who the previous Bears 1st round pick was to make to the Pro Bowl with the team? Tommie Harris, who was drafted in 2004. Hopefully we don't have wait another decade for the Bears to draft a 1st round pro-bowler.

i did this a couple years ago but found that out of 1st round picks this century (which starts in 2001, conveniently excluding urlacher), the bears had the fewest pro bowlers . raiders were worse for a little bit until khalil mack got them there, it was just him and nmadi for a long while.

cleveland is weird on that list because they've drafted nobody good forever except the best LT who made a million pro bowls

it's weird but good that joe thomas has gotten the amount of recognition that he has

normally you'd think the way linemen get recognition is by blocking for a dominant running game (which cleveland hasn't had except for the one weird peyton hillis year) or by providing reliable protection to a productive QB (where cleveland has had only trash idiots who can run into sacks even when they are protected)

I guess there are more football nerds who actually pay attention to line play than I thought

Yeah, they already let him interview for Cincinnati so it's a clear case of "gently caress the Packers" more than anything else.

Even just interviewing him could conceivably give them inside information about a divisional rival they wouldn't have had otherwise

It's pretty hilarious the Lions and Vikings care more about sorta being spiteful toward a division rival than treating their own personnel right.

Surely this won't be a consideration for any quality coaching talent they try to attract in the future.

I suspect they've already addressed it with Austin. If not, you'll hear reports that he's pissed or you will find out he's released from the team in the next couple of days.

Sometimes coordinators use the team to say no for them, if they think it could be an ugly situation and don't want to burn bridges. And thinks are strangely uncertain in Green Bay at the moment.

i agree that its very likely coaches may not want to take a job with the lions now that they know the lions will deny them an opportunity to interview with the packers while under contract. this is a real concern most coaches in the league share.

Yes

Rodgers is also not thrilled with the idea of GM Ball. We've been tracking it over in the coaching carousel thread

My big problem with that is that if that happens, we'll probably lose Gutekunst and Wolf both too. So now we have a glorified accountant as GM, losing our head coach, top two scouting directors, and Rodgers is pissed.

Supposedly Ball is a very close ally of Ted Thompson. Him as GM would probably be more of Ted.

I had figured the shake-up was a sign of the team moving to a more strongly Win Now personnel management model

(I think they need to be operating with the assumption of a roughly 3-year window, since, while rodgers ~might keep playing at a top level to the age of 40 like Brady, you can't count on that)

but if Ball is a mini-Thompson, as described, it sounds like that might not be the case
