Title: Who’s your guy?
Post by: Reacher on April 17, 2023, 02:19:58 PM
The draft is right around the corner! Who do you want the Bears to draft?

Might be a bit of a luxury pick, but I’d like to see them take Bijan Robinson. After trading down (hi Custard).

Would love Clancey, but he won’t last. Adeboware sounds good to me 2nd round (if he’s there).

Would love to hear your choices for first and 2nd pick.

You take Jalen Cater at 9 if he’s there and trade down if he’s not. I would be ok taking Witherspoon at 9 as well.

Most experts (coaches, scouts) I’ve heard seem to think arm length is important. The Packer fan kid doesn’t have it. They’ve all said he’d make a terrific guard, and be the most ready OL from day one; but they are very skeptical he’ll play tackle. Let alone LT.

OL or DL. Actually both.

I don't follow the mocks to know who is who.

If the NU guy has alligator arms, the TN dude manhandled Anderson in their game. So there is him, I guess. Is there someone who manhandled Carter?

If you want to maximize value, you take the best player at the highest paid position.

LT, CB, QB.  One of those 3.

I feel like there’s almost no way Carter falls to 9, but Joe Ostrowski just said Carter is the betting favorite to go at 9. So that’s interesting.

I don't follow college football much at all, but I've seen a whole lot of people comparing Carter to Donald.

Someone that actually follows this closely - if those two guys are at all comparable, why is their production not?  For a dude with that kind of hype, Carter's actual production seems very pedestrian to me.  Donald had more TFL and twice as many sacks in his first two seasons as Carter has in three.  Then as a junior, Donald basically matched Carter's entire career in those stats in one season (same number of TFL, 0.5 less sack) and as a senior he far surpassed Carter's career stats (28.5 TFL Donald's senior year vs. 18.5 in Carter's three years; 11 sacks Donald's senior year vs. 6 in three years for Carter).

Final per-season total for Carter: 6.2 TFL, 2 Sacks.
Final per-season total for Donald: 16.5 TFL, 7.4 Sacks.

I know the SEC's much better than the ACC obviously, but can that explain that massive discrepancy?  I'd think Donald was the focal point of the defense too in a way that you couldn't really do with Carter given how much talent Alabama Georgia has.

Same question then, I guess.  Why isn't the production comparable?

Sapp had 3x as many sacks as Carter.  Can't find TFL stats for Sapp in college but I think it's safe to guess they were similar.

Why doesn't Carter produce like all the guys he gets compared to?  What's the 'thing' that makes him such a good prospect, but not produce like one in college?

Couldn’t say for sure. I don’t watch college either. But I’ve done some homework this year because it’s not every year the Bears have (had) the 1st pick. One of the red flags on Carter is that he takes plays off.

For sure.

I was just surprised - I watched a bit of the CFP and mostly didn't even notice he was on the field, but I knew he was considered an elite prospect so I looked up his numbers.  He has not produced like an elite prospect, and I don't get where the disconnect is there.

To be clear, I am not remotely qualified to make that distinction, which is why I asked.
Title: Re: Who’s your guy?

And judging by the shape he was in on his pro day, he not only takes plays off, but apparently days off. At a time…
Title: Re: Who’s your guy?
Post by: Judge Judy on April 19, 2023, 10:59:17 AM
Yeah Carter IS a generational talent at DT, but big question marks on what Tempo stated above. IF (and a big IF) a coaching staff can get and keep him motivated, then he has all the potential in the world. Think Shawn Kemp in the NBA. He was fit and crazy in shape, but then he ballooned up to like 500lbs when not playing. I would definitely take the risk/reward on Carter when picking at 9. As far as production, he doesn’t necessarily make the plays, but sets up others based on being double/triple-teamed by the OL. He is someone the offense schemes around and that in turn opens up others for opportunities to get the credit and numbers they normally wouldn’t get. The experts see this and give him the credit and recognition he deserves based on this. Now, can he stay focused and do that every play?! That’s the disconnect…

I like it. Agree with the comment the Bears need people who can make "game changing plays." Try and find a trade down partner, draft DL and OL 2nd round. And I'm fairly confident they can get a starter quality OT after cap cuts. Or they even have the capital to trade for an elite tackle. Left or right. This is the upside of having lots of picks and money. Oh, and fuck Ryan Pace.

They need an OT to protect the qb. If this one doesn't work out, they'll still need an OT to protect the next one.
Maybe package 2 later picks to get a DL with the 2nd pick.
Draft for need rather than hoping to pick up a serviceable OT later or thru other means than the draft.

Again. The 1st round isn’t the only place you can get a good player. But it’s probably the only place you’ll find a Bijan Robinson.

If they end up with a RB from tanking, and some mediocre free agents, that to me looks like an absolute failure.

I never said FA was gonna help at WR. It was a very poor FA class for the position. He got a difference making WR (and lots of premium draft capital along with him) in a trade. I’m pretty happy with what Poles has done. He seems to be patient and placing an emphasis on value, unlike his predecessor. Yes, he needs stars, but he also needs depth and play-making skill position players. Drafting Robinson could end up being a real coup (particularly if he’s able to trade down). As I said, the first round isn’t the only place they can address the lines. There are good to excellent players in the 2nd round, and if they trade down, they could end up with 3 2nd rounders. And they have next years’ draft picks. I very much like where Poles is going.

And again, you could justify almost any path Poles takes in the 1st round. Minus QB or TE IMO.
Title: Re: Who’s your guy?

Poles has done an B+ job so far he’s been here. It give him an A if he landed like a Dre’Mont Jones or a difference-making DT in FA. Although I do like that he didn’t overpay on any either. And if he can land Jalen Cater at 9 I forgive him and give him the A. Get the OT and other parts of the lines later in the draft. The rebuild won’t be complete until after next offseason but he’s done a helluva job so far in my opinion.

You could trade Fields but you’d only get back a 5th round pick

I’d rather try Fields at RB than have a 5th rounder.

Plus Levis tested out a stronger arm than Josh Allen.  His upside is phenomenal.

But he was an unknown before he was traded. So he could bring more in a trade

Fields is 5-20 as a starter.  Can’t throw.  Doesn’t elevate his teammates.  He’s a known commodity that stinks.

The Cardinals had already drafted Kyler Murray and didn’t even have leverage and got that for Rosen. Google Justin Fields trade return. Literally no one but internet bums thinks Fields would only return a 5th round pick.

How many years will it take of poor Justin Fields QB’ing to make you believe he also is in the backup QB/poor starter level?

That’s my whole argument.

Tell me what’s the difference between Baker Mayfield and Justin Fields?  One is 5-20 as a starter.  The other is 31-39.  You can argue both have played on bad teams.  One did quite a bit better though.

And if you think they are of similar value, and you think Baker sucks, then obviously Fields must also.

Never mind I googled it. That’s an extremely good contract and he’s locked up for the next two years with a 5th-year option if we need. Build around him like they are.

Tomczak was an objectively bad NFL quarterback. And I loved Mike Tomczak. Some quarterback who failed 8 years ago, or even longer, has pretty much nothing to do with who will be good in 2024.

Have to say that the QBs Alabama has produced have been better than those produced by OSU. Now, who has OSU produced since Mike Tomczak that makes you confident that Stroud will be the best QB in this draft. The answer could be none, that's fine.

I know this is tough for you, but I am obviously including even all of the OSU QBs in the last decade who were in the NFL when saying Mike Tomczak was better than all of them. That is the point. OSU has not produced a decent QB in more than 40 years.

You used ALL CAPS, so unsure how much to believe in what you wrote. Instead of tradition, try "systems." Steve Spurrier produced a lot of systems QBs that were not very good NFL QBs. OSU has produced a lot of systems QBs who have not been either.

I just said they were systems QBs at OK. Hurts they put the "system" in place for him last year at the Eagles. It worked, especially with the defense they had and their ability to be up at least 14 at half in most of their games.

Regarding Richardson. Yes, the most tools, but also probably the most raw. Probably has a high floor a la Fields and Hurts of a year ago. His college passing data is far inferior to Fields’ so we’ll see what Richardson can do as a passer in the NFL. Not ruling him out. But I think Stroud is likely the “safest” of the top 4 this class.

The point is even the experts don't know shit. But, I think, we can extrapolate a few things, here and there, based on college programs over time. One is that OSU coaches have done a shit job developing NFL ready QBs. We can say the same about OK and USC coaches. What does that say about a guy like Caleb Williams? Is Lincoln Riley just a systems guy? We will find out.

No one knew Brady would be The GOAT. Not even Belichick.

Because there are some things that have been consistent over the past decade, no?

It’s pretty unbelievable to me that people could look at that roster, which Poles was clearly dismantling on purpose and think that “winning games” was a reasonable expectation for a 2nd year quarterback learning a new system.

This roster had already showed how mediocre they were before they started shipping what was left of their best players off.

The Bears have a bad QB and a bad roster.  That’s why they were the worst team in the NFL last year.

15 Teams (QB) who would definitely not trade their current QB for Fields:

Mahomes
Burrow
Allen
Rodgers
Hurts
Jackson
Watson
Stafford
Goff
Purdy
Herbert
Cousins
Tua
Lawrence
Prescott

7 teams (QB) who probably wouldn’t:

Daniel Jones
Kyler Murray
Mac Jones
Russell Wilson
Ryan Tannehill
Baker Mayfield
Kenny Pickett

So again, at best Justin Fields is a bottom 7 or 8 QB in the league

I just named 22 other QBs he wouldn’t start over. And that doesn’t include this years draft of several
guys who are better

In order to trigger Tempo the most, I want the Bears to draft Stetson Bennett. 

I think Bennett is the perfect backup QB.  He’s used to being a backup that overcame all odds to go from walk-on to starter for 2 national title teams.  And it’s be a nice kick n the ass to Fields. When you got Peterman behind you, there’s no incentive to improve.  Stetson would be perfect in that role at an affordable draft pick

Question for ThePAMan:

Let’s say Justin Fields has a terrible year and the Bears have the first pick in next years’ draft. Would you take a pass on Caleb Williams because Sam Darnold, Matt Leinart, Mark Sanchez, Cody Kessler, Matt Barkley, Rodney Peete, Sean Salisbury, Vince Evans and Todd Marinovich all sucked?

The difference is the different coaching staffs at USC which now has Lincoln Riley. A smarter question would have been using Riley's OK QBs as comps. But yes, given Riley as a common denominator of sorts, there should be pause for concern.

OSU has been consistent in the offense it has used since Urban. Ergo the problem with OSU QBs over time.

You’ve blamed him for losses in which he was the best player on the field. You’ve blamed the way they call games on his inability to perform. 
True (tallest midget) and true. He has sucked at passing.

You’ve exonerated others for their mistakes and blamed him.

Exonerated? Ehhh. He has made many mistakes. He has sucked at passing the football.

He has sucked regardless of the rest of the team. But it is all about the QB as you, and others, maintain he is THE franchise QB. He has not shown that he has the skills to be a franchise QB. Has not read defenses well. Puts the ball on the ground too much. We can go on and on.

Can he do it? We shall see.

There are also cap cuts coming. I have a feeling the Bears will add another OL after cuts. If anything, Robinson is the safest offensive player in the draft. I bet he opens the season as ROY of the favorite.

I saw that (Robinson to ATL). That just makes no sense to me. ATL has tons of needs, including QB. Tyler Allgier had a really good year last year and was a rookie. They turn around and draft another RB? None of that make sense to me. So it’ll probably happen.

Yes. Lincoln Riley has a long history of developing successful NFL QBs.

List:

Jalen Hurts (1 year), who kind of sucked his first two years in the NFL.

Which is the point if you were not so blind.

Baker and Murray his guys too. Hurts was there a year?
