Lol. Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Stefan Diggs, Noah Brown, John Metchie. The Texans gave up capital to trade for a guy who's gonna compete for WR6 with Robert Woods?

Super Bowl

Splash!

Wait this can't be, I keep being told he can't even kick it to the endzone on kickoffs.

3. Chicago Bears This Class In One Sentence: The window on winning is officially open, use it wisely Pre-Draft Needs (According to https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/team-needs-2024) QB, WR, EDGE, OT Selections 1. Caleb Williams | QB | USC 9. Rome Odunze | WR | Washington 75. Kiran Amegadjie | OT | Yale 122. Tory Taylor | P | Iowa 144. Austin Booker | EDGE | Kansas State Best Pick I mean, Caleb at number 1 is such a no-brainer that I’ll go with Rome Odunze at 9. He’s got classic X receiver dimensions and can succeed in all areas of the field due to his fluidity as a mover and his ability to make contested catches. Combined with his competitive nature, it’s very difficult to envision a world where he doesn’t flourish in the NFL. And the fact the Bears can stick him on a field with DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, I don’t think there’s been a better situation for a rookie first round receiver, or the quarterback taken first overall. Worst Pick I suppose I don’t get the Tory Taylor selection at 122 given you’ve just set your team up to not have to punt much. I mean, it’s 122 so who cares but also how many of these Punt Gods go on to exceed or match those expectations? I get that he’s a bit of a legend in that facet of the game so it’s not egregious, but at 26 years old and with plenty of mileage on that boot to consider, it’s only okay here at best. Overall It’s a difficult team to place on a list like this because the class is small with only five selections, but the talent add is huge and capable of turning this franchise on its head. To be able to select the highest-rated quarterback prospect in years and a genuine go-to calibre wide receiver in one first round is a blessing. It’s been a fascinating process to watch since Ryan Poles became GM in Chicago and the rebuild began. The roster has been furnished well and runs deep at most spots, and now they were able to select first overall via a trade which allowed them to properly assess Justin Fields. Let’s talk about Caleb, then - the purple chip talent, a creative thrower of the football inside and outside of structure, and a quarterback with uncanny third-eye field vision. There are moments at USC, where he hung onto the ball to play hero a little too often. But with his elastic arm talent, there is always a chance to make plays deep into the down. And when he’s on, and nobody wants to make the comparison because of the trajectory of where that player is, there is a Mahomes-level playmaking talent there. And I love that he has the personality for the stage he’s stepping into, the scene isn’t too bright – he’s ready for it. And I love that he’s in Chicago, man, it’s been bleak at quarterback there forever. The Bears might have gone offensive line at 9 if Odunze was off the board, so it made sense to come away with at least a development project there with their third selection. Kiran Amegadjie gives them that, with his enormous length and over 36-inch pipes. It’s been difficult to get any quality film on this guy, but you see flashes of dominance you want from a dude beating up on lawyers and accountants. His acclimation to the league could take time and with Braxton Jones giving serviceable play at tackle, he should get the seasoning he needs. Austin Booker arrived in Chicago as a result of the Bears giving the pick to Buffalo in exchange for Ryan Bates and then trading for it in exchange for next year’s fourth. Normally, I’d be against giving up a higher pick in the following year’s draft for the short-term return now – but this is a fairly complete roster and he was seen as a day two-level project by many. He hasn’t been playing the position for long but is lengthy and already refined with his hand usage. At 6’5, he’s the sort of lengthy profile which has thrived in Eberflus’s defensive fronts and he could find playing time as a DPR during his rookie season.

Favorite monster franchise since I don’t even know how far back. This one looks fantastic.

sounds like 2013/2017 aaron rodgers. Always banged up. Jackson is a good passer. He would be a good qb without or with diminished legs. Y/A well over 7 for his career, prime peyton manning numbers. He makes consistently good plays from the pocket, and if you can't see that you just aren't watching. Jackson is limited by his supporting cast, specifically his wideouts. This year I expect another MVP level campaign

Haha. I am participating in FF Survivor and a bunch of the guys have been changing their avatars (I usually keep mine blank) and the theme Anchorman came up so I had to choose the cameo Ben Stiller made from the Spanish Language news team. Haha https://anchorman.fandom.com/wiki/Arturo_Mendez#:~:text=Arturo Mendez is a one,and portrayed by Ben Stiller.

having GM and coach is gonna end badly?

Same thinking, though I'm willing to risk the pick on a certain archetype of goalie. Askarov is really the only goalie I've seen over the last few drafts that I was all about taking in the 1st, even at #7. Just something about him came off as bona fide for me. He plays the game so damn calm, even as a prospect. I've seen a lot of him in Milwaukee and he's such a damn stud. Hate that Holtz has turned out to be a nothing burger and the two guys I wanted the most at that pick have turned out to be bourgeoning stars. I think the only way Nashville would consider it is if they could get Saros locked up long term and they fall in love with a prospect at 10. But with the value of goalies, it's highly unlikely.
