It's SO true. No one knows anything, so you may as well watch tape and just go with what you see. It's not that they're stupid. I think it's that they take in too MUCH information, and try to fit it all in - rumors, narratives. For example, Campbell's arms are too short. And the guy goes 4th overall. And we all know a lot of these guys will bust too. So for example, I predict Membou wont be great. He may be serviceable for a while, but I think Banks will have the better career. Obviously it's gonna take a few years to see. But this is my feeling based off of tape. I dont know their 40 times. I look at that for skill players sure, but not OL etc. But what we CAN say now, is just because so and so said something doesn't mean anything. Teams value players very differently from each other anyway so even if a pundit is "right" in terms of seeing the world the way the Bears do, they may have no ability to see the world the way the Saints do. And i think that all means that if someone watches some tape, their opinion isnt stupid or wrong just because some pundit sees things differently

but you yourself were drawing lines to players based on the 30 visits!

right. so those that read the tea leaves too hard arent necessarily looking at any information at all. I often feel like the pundits are wrong not because they dont have enough information, but because they have too much. It's just how a guy plays on tape, what his upside is, and if his character is good.

kudos! hes gonna be good for us too. who can a defense cover now?!

yup I just realized and edited my post above. oops! LOL

well for one PFF is random, but also hes not great against the run, so maybe that dinged him too. I dunno. We pick again soon too. HB for sure. EDIT - oops next pick is round 4.

It's Shemar Turner. DT Good pass rush, but not great vs the run - a 3rd down DT

Bech is a stud. We dont need him, especially after Burden. But hes a good player

Johnson got Loveland Randle-El got Burden Roushar got Trapillo now Bienemy gets a RB and the defense needs something...

Green to the Ravens. Wow. Green and Starks. Ravens really know defense.

apparently Trapillo has "LT traits" but might need some time to develop

Ozzie Trapillo! OT a lot of my guys said good things about him. I never saw his tape. Played LT in 2022, and was very good at RT the last couple years. NFL Network says "Day One Starter at RT" Maybe we are moving Wright to LT. That would make sense with the moves weve made.

There goes Belton. Grant from W&M is next. had 30 visits with both. Green for us?!

Please not Green to GB

I think part of the trade down was to make an extra pick to get Green.

Its getting near time for Mike Green and a HB

Maybe. I'm sure they're evaluating Kiran vs the rookies. Cuz last years tape isnt anything good. But it wasnt really Kiran's fault either. Or they like Belton or Grant, had meetings with both. One point to make - who were the two most mouthy players on Offense last year? DJ and Kmet. Both just got competition.

We are playing this draft VERY well, if you dont factor in the LT. Let's see what happens.

BLECH there goes Ersery. Too bad.

Houston just traded up and they need OL.

One funny note: the 4th rounder we got from Buffalo is the one we traded them last year to move up to grab Booker. "I want my pick back! And David Freakin Putney!" lol

thats the name that seems to make sense now, unless Ersery drops. I did no work on him though. Have no opinion.

Exactly. In this draft I LOVE it as long as there is a plan at LT.

WIth the exception of the LT issue, which I have to wait and see - these picks and moves are great. If Ersery drops to us at 56, then I will bow down to Poles on that one. But maybe they have another sleeper player in mind. I dunno. But adding Burden and Loveland to this roster will make us really tough.

GOOD Seattle takes Emmanwori now we just need Cleveland not to take Ersery maybe someone will trade up with them for a QB?
