He even whiffed on that one. Please, ghost of Halas, fix this.

I think they will play both of these picks and the free agent OT we picked up - they will just crazy glue them together, and the six armed monster will replace Leno. It's not as if I've gone insane because we didnt draft a legit replacement for Leno...

Im guessing Trey Adams and Jr Reed Possible QB too

practice squad - hes a backup for the slot CB position.

I wondered too, but the knock on him is tackling, so I dunno.

the nfl.com player description says his NFL comparable is RRH lol

good point.

yeah we got him with next years 4th. cool. Looks like we picked up another low pick too? Not sure.

Ok we traded next year's 4th rounder for this one. hmm.

we still have picks, looks like we maybe added some - did we trade a player??

UGH. ugh ugh ugh. Jason Peters or bust?

If we can fit Williams under the cap, we should do what it takes. I dont see how at this point right now.

yeah but youve been right that no one left on the board is a day one starter. Or even a year one starter at OT.

also agree. also, youre another step closer to winning our bet

yep if we have a suitor for a couple of slots yes

yes thats right. Im not out for Massie's head at all, I just thought it was funny and depressing LOL Anyway, now as of the last hour I suddenly have unreasonable love for Prince Wanogho. If I knew more Id probably back off of him too. But I dont, so long live the draft!

So Im making my list of 11 players Id like in order so I know where we are as picks get made. And on nfl.com Im reading about Josh Jones. Hes raw, but made great strides athletic. All sounding good to me. Then it says "NFL Comparison: Bobbie Massie" FML hahahaha https://www.nfl.com/prospects/josh-jones?id=32194a4f-4e50-6329-4716-1f544b2c7ee9

exactly, and suddenly, Ezra Cleveland is looking pretty good too

Austin Jackson? Me too.

makes sense - we will see of course.

do people think Jones will fall to 43? Id love to see it, but is it really likely? I havent read much either way.

Well I look at last year, and you look at his career, but we dont yet really know what Pace is seeing or thinking. By opening day we will of course, but for now, it still remains to be seen. Your points about rookies after Jones is well taken though.

It's a fair point, but I'm not sure Leno is any better. If I KNEW that Leno would be identical to last year again, then Id put anyone there and it couldnt be any worse.

it would be SO cruel.

Some of that I understand and agree with. The money part I dont. That money is gone either way. If you can afford to replace Leno, as long as you arent gonna keep him on your cap going forward, then you do it. The other argument, that the players available to us at 43 arent starter worthy unless someone falls, I sadly agree with. I do hope Jones falls of course, or someone else. I'd probably love to see Becton fall on the drug test, and see us package both 2nd rounders to get him. Of course that comes with it's own problems, as I assume we will also add a CB, safety or WR in the 2nd round too. I really thought Pace would bring in a free agent too, and maybe he still will - there are two very good short term players available in Peters and Williams, and their options are shrinking daily. But each would be hard to fit under the cap without cutting Patterson or something. Might be worth it, but Patterson brings value too, and Peters is no long term answer. I just have visions of Foles being killed by people running through Leno. I dont really know if Nagy's scheme is brilliant and next level or a gimmick, because we haven't had a chance to see it. We blame Trubisky a lot for it, and fairly, he hasnt shown much evidence to use in his defense either, but mostly, he was being pressured from the left on almost every throw. I think that if you find the 50th best QB in the world, and give him 5 consistent seconds of protection, he looks like a hall of famer. With 2 seconds or less, they mostly all look terrible.
