    I have no clue. Simply sharing what I see. I'd be pretty happy as a Bears fan getting the only QB prospect, imo, that has a chance to be a star in this draft and a top 3 WR. 

    As a Colts fan, we need some depth places--- found that. 

    The two safeties, corner, and Day 3 WR are all gunna be excellent special teamers and with the new rules could be very valuable. 

    Colts still have 20+ million in cap space-- with maybe needing a vet Free safety as their only hole? As their only starter spot missing. Maybe you sign a vet corner, too? But idk if the roster space was there. 

    Outside of spending on that--- I wouldn't mind seeing a chunk of that used to extend Ryan Kelley for a year or two. 

    I did laugh at espn for having "TE" as a position of need for the Colts, its not. 

    I think both teams did well and I do read the draft grades as well just as a general reference point.

    I was hoping the Bears were going to draft the center Bortolini from Wisconsin...so I was glad that if he didn't go to the Bears, the Colts got him.

    It is refreshing that both teams are happy with the draft.  I think both teams have legit chance to make the playoffs next season.

    I did see the Bears just signed an undrafted free agent from James Madison, defensive lineman Jamree Kromah, I thought that was cool considering coach Cig coached him.

    From the draft grades I have seen, the consensus seems to be the Bears and Colts both received between B+ and A for the draft. I don't put much stock into draft grades for 2/3 years, but I do think both teams drafted well this week.

    Caleb Williams ain’t no damn Andrew Luck. 

    I liked Luck, but thankfully Poles is better GM than Grigson was and will actually try to have an o-line that can protect him some, so Caleb will probably play more than 6 seasons. I’m not saying Caleb is going to be better but I think it’s silly to say he can’t possibly be better when he hasn’t taken a snap in the NFL yet. We’ll all find out in a few years.

    This doesn’t bother me at all.  I think the Colts can use some pass rush help from the DE spot and he might be the best one in the draft.  Now go get a WR in round 2.

    Yeah, if his medicals are fine, then he can be really good. I figured the Colts were taking defensive player in first round unless maybe Bowers fell to them.

    Hearing the interview and watching some of the stuff it might be a character thing. Turner is phenomenal but for this many teams to pass I have to be missing something.

    I like Byron Murphy more than Turner on defensive line...I know different positions, but I think Murphy has a ton of potential. But yeah....Turner was being mentioned as going to Atlanta at 8 by many mocks.

    We've officially killed the offseason and I'll ask it again. Has a #1 QB ever walked into more talent? DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Odunze, Swift, Kmet??

    Just wow. PS....not sure what the Falcons are thinking giving Cousins a $100M but so happy for Penix. 

    I'm so happy they took Odunze and didn't trade back in that situation. Take the blue chip receiver to grow with Caleb. I'm all about the Bears reinforcing the trenches with 3rd/4th round picks and next years draft.

    Another blown save. I think it makes 3 or 4...but Jed said nobody makes deals in April or May. What an idiot. Costing this team a phenomenal start considering the schedule.

    Jed knew they needed more help in the pen coming into the season. Alzolay is not a closer. Cuas was terrible. He should have addressed this during the offseason. This is the stuff that drives me crazy with the Cubs...they are being cheap with the bullpen and they have money/assets that can at least somewhat remedy this, but Rickets/Jed holding onto those nickels.

    So I don't get the point of autographs any more...

    Wasn't it always to "prove" you met someone? With every person on the planet having a camera in their pocket, wouldn't a pic accomplish the same thing, only better? Plus, no writer's cramp :) 

     

     

    I have so many autographed items...My last house had a full sized finished basement and I had items hanging up/on display everywhere. Now I have much less on display in my office. I was able to get a photo of me with Ryne Sandberg that we printed out and got him to sign on same series.

    Some of my highlights in my collection are: Jackie Robinson, Peyton Manning, Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, Ryne Sandberg, Cal Ripken Jr., Brooks Robinson, Fergie Jenkins, Bill Buckner (1st autograph ever when I was 5), Mark Grace, Walter Payton, Dick Butkus, Gale Sayers, Brian Urlacher, and way more...even Jimmy Buffett, John Mellencamp, and Dr. Seuss from non-sports 😄.

    To your comment about other people signing for a celebrity, I believe it was Pete Rose who said he used to hire little old ladies to sign his fan mail back in his playing days 🤣
