They didn't really embarrass themselves lol, they simply just decided not to fire their coach. People generally also like the hire of Waldron, for whatever that's worth. At least it's someone who's had some success play calling recently Also https://twitter.com/BillTZimmerman/status/1762131373798658416 People are overreacting to something where Peter King just outright says he's speculating about lol

Caleb has been underhwlming to me and then i saw Maye ding the crossbar at 80 yards out and now I'm ready for trubisky 2.0 because I am obsessed with The Haul and everything it entails.

I think I'm less interested in what the Bears do at QB and more interested in what they'll do with #9. Mocks are meaningless until at least the combine, but they might be able to grab one of the non-MHJ receivers. That'd be a decent combo with DJ Moore.

Caleb Williams is the consensus best player in the draft, so they should probably just draft him. Sucks for his career, but doing anything else other than the consensus "right move" is just going to make the Bears look even dumber when they inevitably fail.

There's probably going to be a lot of weird rumors on the Bears and the #1 pick because their front office doesn't leak anything.

Lions fans deserve to take a victory lap for the poo poo the Gibbs pick got, but they try to stretch that into "heh you thought every pick we made was stupid but it actually loving ruled" as if Jack Campbell at 18 was a brain genius home run move or drafting a TE with a high second round pick is super controversial. (Also I'm pretty sure the median draftink opinion on the draft was more "Well I don't like the positional value with the first rounders, but their second rounders were really good so it kinda balances out I guess?" than "What the gently caress are they doing???")

Right outside their two first rounders nobody thought anything was crazy and the point about the two first rounders wasn't that they were bad players but like ... You probably could've gotten good players at those positions later and or traded down. Nobody cares Miami used a second on achnae for example because it was (and is) a good fit. Anyway outside literally those 2 picks everything he's done has been pretty standard and has (obviously) worked well. But claiming picking 2 low value positions in the first round was 1.) Enough to override all the traditional team building stuff they did and 2.) Was such a monumental success that other teams should follow it is a stretch to say the least.

Basically as the first round was unfolding the reaction was "haha what the gently caress" and then after LaPorta and Branch it was "great draft that happened in the wrong order," in other words Gibbs and Campbell probably would've fallen to them anyway in many estimations while Branch being available so late was very lucky.

yeah I think the thing people need to realize is that mock draft boards and are not the same as individual team boards. Gibbs might not have been there, because maybe just maybe other teams valued him as highly as the Lions did, and he was just a pick that prognosticators missed. Also we were in peak stupid rear end running backs shouldn't be drafted in the first mode. Scipiotik posted:It is impossible to say when any player will be drafted, so just take the players you want. Mostly this. Like obviously try to maximize value or whatever, but just take dudes if you have conviction on them being good and a good fit. players >> theoretically obtained players at the maximized value spot.

Parallelwoody posted:I thought it was basically confirmed (as much as you can anyway) that Gibbs wasn't gonna be around past the next like 3-5 picks. Yeah the rumor was the Pats but who knows. Holmes did an interview on local radio this morning where he paraphrased "free agency is where you shore up your needs, the draft is where just take football guys" Which means get ready for a WR with our first pick.

But given the enormous cap space expansion the Packers might be able to get enough space to sign someone like Winfield in FA. Won't get my hopes up though, this team has me trained too well.

But given the enormous cap space expansion the Packers might be able to get enough space to sign someone like Winfield in FA. Extension is a given, knowing Ball it'll be an easy out in two years. If I were a gambling man I'd put money on Winfield getting tagged. Given Hafley's staff connections to Savage I wouldn't completely rule him out on coming back on a prove-it deal unless he has a strong market.

Assuming they are cutting bahk this gets them like 23 mil in free cap space which is enough to both sign your rookie class a handful of cheap fas and an extension for love that will probably have a weird structure because the cap hits they will want to come in like 2025.

are the vikings being serious about cousins post achilles or are they doing the jets thing of pretending an older player with a severe injury is just going to be exactly who he was before? if i was a vikings fan and my team paid kirk cousins like the 10th best qb for multiple years I would rip my novelty viking pigtails out xbilkis posted:Lions fans deserve to take a victory lap for the poo poo the Gibbs pick got, but they try to stretch that into "heh you thought every pick we made was stupid but it actually loving ruled" as if Jack Campbell at 18 was a brain genius home run move or drafting a TE with a high second round pick is super controversial.
