Just curious, did Kiper like the Gordon pick?
Can’t believe Seattle or Minnesota didn’t take Malik Willis.
-
Would be nice to see Nakobe Dean fall to the Bears.
-
Metchie would have been pretty nice
-
Would have been pretty excited about Ojabo too. Achilles injuries are rough, though. Good fit in Baltimore.
-
Would love to see Quinn traded, but not sure what you could get for him.
Lions having an impressive draft. Having said that, they’re the Lions.
-
Guess everyone is out celebrating the Shannon commitment lol
-
Might sound crazy but I Might have taken Malik Willis with the intent of maybe trading him.
-
Pickens to the Bears would have made a ton of sense.

Ngl, I didn't even know the draft was on lol. Probably wouldn't have watched it anyway even if I did.
-
Bears just drafted Velus Jones Jr WR. 25 years old in May. 4.31 speed but projected to be an average backup and special teamer. Seems like a reach in the 3rd.
-
Sounds like he’s a return guy. Which with kickoffs not meaning much is curious. Don’t think I like the pick.

I like the size/speed of Jones, but he wasn’t overly productive in 6 years of college, not a polished route runner, and drafted a round or two earlier than projected. That pick feels very Ryan Paceish. Feels like a luxury pick when they have a lot of immediate needs.
Would have preferred Pickens at 48, but don’t dislike Brisker. Just would have preferred one of the first two picks be an offensive player.
-
Sounds like the honeymoon is over
-
Some head scratching stuff. It’s not that I don’t like Brisker, I do. But Pickens at 48 and Nakobe Dean in the 3rd would have been a killer day.
I like the size/speed of Jones, but the dude didn’t have a very productive college career despite being in college six years. Im cool with that pick in the 5th or 6th round. Not in the 3rd. That pick screams Ryan Pace (I’m the smartest guy in the room!).
-
Nakobe Dean even gives you the option to deal Roquan for draft capital if you want.
-
Jones never eclipsed 25 receptions in a college season until the age of 24. Star players usually show their star quality much earlier.
-
I’m thinking I’m gonna have to stop following Parkins on Twitter. Even if I sometimes agree with him, he’s such a whiny little bitch.
-
This may have the makings of a knucklehead doesn't cut knucklehead and doesn't draft knucklehead because he didn't cut knucklehead story.

I really hope so.
-
I like that Poles has acquired a lot of picks. Hopefully he finds a couple gems.
-
With the obvious added benefit of hindsight, I’d have liked to have seen a couple things shake out differently; but overall like what Poles (almost typed Pace) did. B++

Can’t believe no one wanted to talk Bears draft.

It's called apathy. Most Bears fans are familiar with it. ;D

How did Lovie go 4-8 with this roster? 2-7 in the Big 10. They lost 63-0 at home to Iowa
4 starters on the offensive line were drafted into the NFL.
Allegretti
Kramer
Lowe
Green

Because he sucked as a college coach?
-
No QB and lots of other MAC level players sprinkled in
-

Pickens getting a ton of praise in Steelers camp. Don’t dislike Gordon and Brisker but I was hoping the Bears would draft Pickens.

Didn't watch yesterday. How did things look besides the field turf looking like trash?

Should have traded Quinn (and apparently Roquan) on draft day and made this happen.
-

Didn’t see any of it, but listened to some of it. Fields and Mooney had a nice connection on a 19 yarder, and Dominique Robinson had a great game apparently.

Hard to get excited about Bear or Illini football.

Very. At least on the Illini side of it. Hopefully the Bears put it together this offseason with all the cap space they have.
-
If Fields continues to improve and Poles makes the right moves, the Bears could make a huge jump in the NFC next year.

We may want to see how they fare against the Cowboy D this weekend. Hopefully they do well.
Let's have a couple of decent years in a row before we may grandiose proclamations about the Illini.

So a 6-1 Illini team is “hard to get excited about?”

They looked poised for a good bowl, but just bowl eligible.

Yes, they looked poised as long as they don't step on their dicks.

I'm sure he is questioning it after the fact, like a biological female would.
