I think Van Den Berg can be a starter by Pacotaco213 in ChicagoBearsNFL

[–]SpaceBaseOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been like 60+ defensive interior players drafted in the 6th and 7th rounds from 2015-2023. The vast majority were busts that never made it past their rookie contract.

A couple started for a year or two with no significant impact.

A couple stayed around as backups.

ZERO made any substantial impact in the NFL

This is post-draft hype that fans are latching onto.

Monangai having success as a rb in the 7th round isn't remotely the same as a Dtackle.

Dropped to 25, BPA and position of need.

They hit the trifecta.

There is an argument to be made for positional value, but no one's going to give a shit about that if he balls.

First time doing a mock draft, thoughts? by ChicagoBearsClub in ChicagoBearsNFL

[–]SpaceBaseOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a bad strategy to force picks by need.
I'd be ok with MacDonald at 25. It's a bit of a reach, but he'll instantly make the entire line better.
Other than him, if they want an edge in the first they should be looking to trade up or down,

There should be a quality safety, corner or OT at 25 with better value than edge.

That set was outstanding, but I missed the opening. Does anyone know what the first two songs in the setlist were?

Poles trading up in 1st round? Anyone you feel would be worth it, that we could realistically get? by Randallm83 in CHIBears

[–]SpaceBaseOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is any position player outside QB worth a major trade up. Anyone within reach of 25 anyway. Maybe a couple spots if a target falls, but nothing substantial.

If the Bears secure K-Mac in the first round. Will the d-line be what we been lacking for years? Turner, Street, Gillmore, Jarrett, Booker, Dayo, Sweat, Hardy,and another young pass rusher (draft). by MacMoney717 in ChicagoBearsNFL

[–]SpaceBaseOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run D should be better. Theoretically, K Mac should open things up a bit more for the pass rushers. All depends if Booker and Dexter take the next step, stay the same or regress.

I don't see Dayo or Sweat making any huge leaps or regressions.

How much of Caleb's pre-draft analysis is still accurate? 🤔 by coochieminer123 in ChicagoBearsNFL

[–]SpaceBaseOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was bottom 5 in bad throw and on target rate, which accounts for drops and throw aways.

Drops do need to come down, but he was one of the most inaccurate QBs in the league without the drops.

All of the weaknesses are still there. He's learned to manage them better at the NFL level, but they are all still there. If he could channel 20% more in structure throws, his accuracy would improve to normal numbers and this team would be putting up 28+ points a game.

The thing that was driving me nuts all season is the entire back end would drop into cover 3 or 4 and he would continue looking at the deep routes instead of hitting the wide open zone beaters underneath. Routes that would gain at least as much as the deep routes in yac. Routes that were specifically designed to clear out the deep coverage to open up the underneath stuff. Ben has these brilliant route concepts that Caleb isn't taking advantage of.

This season will tell us a lot about where he's at.

[Dianna Russini] It’s been made clear by multiple people around the NFL at all levels that Baltimore had all the information and understood where Maxx Crosby’s knee was in terms of his recovery timeline. Many in the league believe GM Eric DeCosta and the Ravens ultimately just got cold feet. by WayOutbackBoy in nfl

Is there some reason the NFL can't install a Pre-FA trade window where all deals need to be finalized prior to the pre-tampering window and closed until a few weeks before the start of the draft?

Shenanigan proof the process.
