Title: 2024 NFL Draft thread
Post by: Reacher on December 14, 2023, 10:19:08 AM
This appears to be the rankings according to the most accurate mock draft of the last 5 years. Not an actual mock prediction of course (or is it?!)

Nabers would be a nice consolation prize if we can’t get MHJ.

If the Bears managed to trade down maybe finagle a 3rd 1st round pick I would not be against taking Jayden Daniels or Michael Penix.

Also like the idea of taking Nix or McCarthy if they fall.

I'm on the Nix train

Get that stud WR with the #1, maybe an OL or DL and if Nix falls to the 2nd round grab him

honestly Williams reminds me of "can't miss" Cade McNown (height and weight are similar as well)

Post by: Reacher on December 14, 2023, 11:58:00 AM
With the Bears’ own pick likely to fall, hard to see them getting a 3rd first. I am warming up to the idea of DJ Moore and Malik Nabers being teammates.

I’d be equally curious to any college kid driving a Ferrari. Does he think “he’s made it?” Is he giving the appearance that he’s in it for the money, or is he self-driven? No pun intended. Has the money changed his personality? Is football his priority? Exorbitant spending habits would make me look at that stuff a bit closer.

Seen a couple three mock drafts or more that have the Bears taking Marvin Harrison, Junior number one which is just ridiculously stupid. They are not drafting him with the top pick they would at least trade down one or two spots to get something for the pick, just dumb.

The only way the Bears select a player at #1 is if it’s Caleb Williams. Nobody else will be going #1 to us. Not even Drake Maye. Take that shit to the bank. 32/32 GM’s would select Williams instantly over Maye.

Real bummer AZ couldn’t hold on for the win, and I thought Washington and NE might flip positions. Washington at 3 would have been ideal IMO. I see them being the best trade partner, and I see NE being the worst. Especially if they want to guarantee a shot at MHJ should they trade down. Would have been nice to see the Giants lose, too.

The third spot is the sweet spot for me but NE is the team I least see giving up a haul. And probably the only player they have worth trading for is Christian Barmore. Certainly no receivers worth anything.

Trade w/Washington for McLaurin, 2024 2nd, and 2025 1st. Trade NYG #2 for Kayvon Thibodeaux and a 1st or 2nd and draft Nabers or Odunze. No MHJ but still really huge hauls combined.

So apparently you’re good with Poles, too? I say this a bit tongue in cheek, so Fields is the whole problem?

The more I watch and read about Caleb the more I think this is true. I think the ideal situation for Caleb would be to get drafted by a good QB coach (Andy Reid type) and sit for a year the way Mahomes did. The talent is obviously there, but the flaws are evident. Doesn’t play in structure, questions about his ability to read the field, ball security a big issue, never played under center.  I see Caleb probably closer to Kyler Murray than Patrick Mahomes at this point. I suspect Caleb is more committed than Kyler, but I’d like to see Caleb taking less receipts on social media.

Interesting topic (obviously). I find it hard to call quarterbacks who didn’t get a 2nd contract with their teams, or teams that traded you to upgrade “hits.” I think calling Murray a “hit” is slightly generous as well.

If Odunze, Nabers, or Alt is there I’d have a hard time passing one of those guys up. If they are all gone I’d be fine trading down 15 spots. Would be pretty happy to get Johnny Newton and a 2025 1st rounder. Newton could be top 20 though.

Again, I get the case for moving on but Washington will probably be drafting pretty high the next couple years so Caleb better hit.

And yet today's fishwrap is mentioning the Vikes possibly having to give up the 11th and 23rd pick in this year's draft plus next year's 1st rounder, to move up to #5 to take JJ McCarthy.

Da Bears: we'll give you a 6th rounder in next year's draft but that's because we're not picking McCarthy at #5.

The Chargers are mulling over both offers.  :D
