Coach Nowlin

Only thing that may deter the pick would be the money they have locked up in Gordan as that Nickel Dude.... $50 Mil guy already Fun times ahead

Congrats: Have fun here

Fun topic become very much NOT FUN when we start is nonsense........ Just saying

7 Total Draft Picks: 4 in the top 89 Picks: Seems like an Odd draft from the chatter around the talking yappers....... Not QB heavy, lots are talking how DEEP the 2027 draft is supposed to be, especially at the QB position. I still believe more is better, I would stay put or if you get a 1 in 2027 and 3-5 next year from a needy team, then I think you jump at that. I don't think you should trade up on this draft because the guys worth coming up from 25 to get will cost you a pretty penny, still need more players. I don't even want to trade up 3-5 spots to give up a 2 or 4 .. PASS Also, I am a very vocal AUSTIN BOOKER TRUTHER, I know @Bash Riprock concurs !! 🙂 That's why I don't think they go Edge in round 1 because of how deep it supposedly this draft is in that position. I do think POLES and JOHNSON will continue to keep the Board their Board and will take top pick on their board, as seen and thankfully done with drafting Loveland and Luther and Turner . ( remember Turner VERY talented player, high draft pick very UNLUCKY year 1). MY GUY: Dream Choice: Dillon Thielmann falls to Bears at 25, however, SAFTEY needy teams may start to think about leaping over the Bears for him, team like Chargers trade back. If he is there at 20, I think Cowboys snag him with 2nd of their 1st rounders. Team like 49ers and John Lynch could be aggressive players and jump up for him too. Harrison Smith is LONG IN THE TOOTH, perhaps Vikes at 18 take Westfield Grad !! Either way, he is going Round 1, another great Brohm Recruit Most Realistic Pool of Players available to Take: My Big Board for Bears 1. Kayden McDonald DT Ohio State. NASTY PLUGGER 2. Kionte Scott S. Miami (I like him over kid from Toledo, Miami D was nasty and competition level ) 3. Monroe Freeling OT Georgia (unless he has a poor driving record ). 4. Peter Woods DT Clemson Second Round Thoughts: 2 picks late: If Ponds is there, you jump on that at 59. I believe they will use one of those 2nd round picks for their Center in 2027. (guy they traded for is in contract year) I think their 1st 3 picks will be: DT, DB, C : That DB could be a Hybrd dude like Scott or Ponds or even an All American from Toledo. Would it surprise me if Poles picks an EDGE, nope, especially if that Edge player is high on their board ratings. That's my first attempt after I had some time last few days to dig in and read up on things. Very interesting tidbit about pick 25..... Its been traded 8 out of the last 9 drafts and one draft twice !!!

Cigar Bowl for me The lone appearance of Valpo U They took on....... wait for it..... Lacrosse State Teachers College ........

Thank you so much for the post honor @kingtut A MAINSTAY FOR MANY YEARS: Rest In Peace Mr. Tuttle

I could absolutely see a lead up draft moving of Kmet, You probably look at it as a luxury item at this point and the cap is real for sure. The Algo last night took me to a video from last week from a media guy never seen before in Chicago, some BIGZ or something rather.... anyways, he asked about the rumors of QB extension NOW and Poles pretty much shot it down and basically said that Ben Johnson has many more goals for him to achieve to get CW to that next level to warrant that kind of contract that is being chatted about. Basically said it that way without saying it. Boy did Poles really give Coach Johnson his flowers. Basically called him a organizational savior and how when he 1st got the GM job he was BEGGING for guys to try to sign with the team and even picked up their taxes in their contract to seal the deal on halfway serviceable people. Feels the tide has flipped to guys who want to come to Chicago and play for him. Serious Football people finally in Halas Hall WHICH leads me to George....... I am not sure if said it here, but I did in my crew text thread last week, I really think George McCaskey has earned my trust and positive support. I LOVED his sit down he had at Owners meetings last week when fighting for Draft Comps.... I know the Algo also gave me a Waddle Silvy clip talking about his Swagger yesterday of the Owner. Now just WIN

they have a system set up differently from my understanding. something like they can have player drafted by NHL, but they can still play College until they use up their 4 years or something like that

Yet there are endless amount of NFL players who led a very productive and healthy post career ....... more than what the headlines won't focus on.... and lets not forget this fun little study from Harvard..... https://hms.harvard.edu/news/cte-caused-by-more-than-head-trauma Participating in Boxing, UFC, Soccer also will kill you Playing amateur Sports will kill you by CTE https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/28/health/cte-younger-athletes Playing Basketball will kill you by CTE https://sleevestars.com/blogs/posts/safeguarding-nba-legends-common-retirement-injuries

Seems like from chatter, Whiteland will be in 6a for the foreseeable future with their grown around there Coach Fisher will be ready !!

North Newton is hiring tomorrow night

Coming off the final 4 and hosts and coaches saying, what about the poor college hoops player who is making 3-750K but then after he is done and has to go work a "regular " job...... for less than 100k or so ..... like somehow that was bad..... I don't know, get a degree.... start there.....

I think Nickel is his future. I want to say NFL Def are in Nickel version over 60% of the time these day. His ability to defend but also be an active and willing tackler and blitzer will make him a very hot commodity

don't understand the correlation of her being reassigned by the Federal Govt and Bears coaching? Context of the "joke".

technically 3a now in enrollment

I believe my man @Muda69 would refer to this view from the Ivory Tower

Then with that mindset from YOU, why are you okay with them staying in the SAC?
