now you guys have me doing this everyday. I pretended I was Jason and drafted 2 OTs first. Your score is: 16095 (GRADE: B-) Your Picks: Round 1 Pick 14 (MIA): Connor Williams, OT, Texas (A-) Round 2 Pick 1 (CLE): Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame ( Round 2 Pick 6: Ronnie Harrison, SS, Alabama (A-) Round 2 Pick 19 (G.B.): Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio State ( Round 3 Pick 19 (G.B.): Chad Thomas, DE, Miami (FL) (C+) Round 4 Pick 6: Quenton Meeks, CB, Stanford (A+) Round 4 Pick 10: Auden Tate, WR, Florida State (C+) Round 5 Pick 6: Daniel Carlson, K, Auburn (A+) Round 6 Pick 6: Porter Gustin, OLB, Southern California (A) Round 7 Pick 6: Nyles Morgan, ILB, Notre Dame (C+)

I think his speed is in question as a press corner, but is more fitting as a FS. I think there is nothing set in stone at the S positions and we need depth there anyways so where ever he lands its all fine.

We think the season is going to be inspiring for our future and we end up with diarrhea. Its sad but we cant wallow around in misery so here we go. upside: We think we may have a franchise type QB so the most important activity in the off season is to find a QB friendly coach. Pay attention to PHIL and LA and you may see our future. The Oline next year needs a stud OT added by the draft. You only find them in the first round. Lets say Leno plays LT next year then Sitton-Long- Whitehair stay healthy for a change. We need a guy that can play RT for a year or two and then be our LT for the future. Next year Kush and Morgan will be backing up the middle so the OLine should have a healthier outlook. We need a potential #1 WR, you can find them in the draft outside of the first round, but we need to add one by draft and 2 by FAgency. Many to choose from there. Inmam and Merideth will be a start but need much more. We are set at RB with Howard, Cohen and Cunningham, done. At TE we have Sims and Shaheen going forward so I think that will be a decent start. We need a OLB to complement Floyd who looks like he may be a good one. Being we need a OT either 1st or second round and a OLB with the other pick. Since we will have a high pick hopefully can trade back and get them later in the first round. I think the Dline will be good with Hicks, Goldman, Bullard, RRH with Unrein thrown in. I think we need to add in the D backfield, Amos and Jackson could be a good duo going forward but are not there yet. We need to add a CB any way we can get one. We have some building blocks but bringing in a solid coaching choose is a priority and then we live or die with Tribisky.

I have no reason, but when everything looks like doom, they jump up and beat someone.

Here is one I could do with trades, I like it better. Round 1 Pick 12 (NYJ): Austin Bryant, DE, Clemson (A) Round 2 Pick 6: Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame (A) Round 2 Pick 12 (NYJ): Courtland Sutton, WR, Southern Methodist (A) Round 2 Pick 24 (NYJ): Anthony Averett, CB, Alabama (A-) Round 4 Pick 10: David Sills, WR, West Virginia (A+) Round 4 Pick 20 (ATL): Brandon Facyson, CB, Virginia Tech (A+) Round 4 Pick 29 (N.E.): Chad Thomas, DE, Miami (FL) (B+) Round 5 Pick 6: Daniel Carlson, K, Auburn (A+) Round 6 Pick 6: David Bright, OT, Stanford (A) Round 7 Pick 6: Cole Reyes, SS, North Dakota (B-) Round 7 Pick 7 (CAR): Cody OConnell, OG, Washington State (A)

he hasnt had a good season for the last 3 years, not worthy of a big contract.

Leno wont be replaced this year, his play has been okay, but we have to replace RT. Next year we need to address OLB, RT and then WR in that order. In FAgency there are a bevy of WRs, so I think we sign someone like Jarvis, Adams,and find a speed guy. I dont see much at RT in free agency, so we have to make that a priority. There isnt much in free agency at OLB either, so that has to be addressed in the draft. I have yet to view the draftees closely but here is a shot with what i know now 6: R1P6 EDGE BRADLEY CHUBB NORTH CAROLINA STATE 38: R2P6 WR CALVIN RIDLEY ALABAMA 108: R4P6 OT CASEY TUCKER STANFORD 109: R4P7 CB QUENTON MEEKS STANFORD 144: R5P6 OT ALEX CAPPA HUMBOLDT STATE 185: R6P6 EDGE LORENZO CARTER GEORGIA

I would like to add, the problem with this team no matter who you want to blame for it, injuries has derailed the potential to be a better team. When we have our starting 5 on the Oline we actually have some reliable positive offensive plays. IF the front 7 is getting pressure, the back of the defense looks pretty good. We have some building blocks, ignore how we got them, but going forward, Goldman, Hicks, Floyd, Bullard, Kwiat, Trevathan, Amos, Jackson, Callahan on defense. On offense Howard, Cohen, Whitehair, Trubisky, Shaheen, Long and Meredith. Where the problem comes in is anytime we dont have most of them on the field our odds at winning is in doubt. We have so little margin for error. Then add the pitfalls of having Fox as head coach and what we have is just like yesterday, a close loss. At this point I would have to give Pace a C-. As much I see a core being established, I then have to watch Barth kick, Grasu still on the roster, resigning Leno to a new contact, and Glennon on the bench. I totally believe we needed to give this team an extra year to develop because the shape of the roster was the worst in the league when they took over. This is the year we at least needed to rise to a 8-8 record or even better. Its apparent its not going to happen, probably more to injuries than the ineptness of the coaching staff. You add it all up , we have as many questions as we do answers. I think when Fox became available the powers that be suggested Pace take him because of his lack of experience at the GM position, so this is what we have. I think with a new coach handpicked by Pace, and the futher progess of Trubisky, we can see the sun rising in the distance, it just seems pretty dark right now.

Spot on

I think what were seeing is him having to do reads and it slows his timing on passes. In the preseason, they just made everything simple for him, quick one read, run or hit outlet pass. Now he is trying to absorb the offensive reads and defensive reads and its slowing him down. He is will eventually get it. I hate to say it, but when they said he needed this year to sit and learn, they were probably right., Although, overall, he probably speeds the learning curve up with playing.

I had all this optimism coming off a bye week. Trending toward 500%, good defense, have a good RB, a flashy offensive player in Cohen and reality hits. Fox did not have the team prepared, some of it is our depth playing with all the injuries. People have been clamoring for Tribisky to pass more and the truth is, he did ok but if was only because we could not run consistently. Coming off the bye week , Long, Trevathan, Sims, and Callahan doesnt play. Miller is now lost for the season, and our Oline loses the battle up front. We have good defensive players making stupid mistakes and we fall on the sword. Without Long and Sims, our Oline was overrun. Without Trevathan, we couldnt stop the run. Callahan missing showed with all the plays to Cobb and Adams, we simply am not good enough to overcome this number of talented players missing to win a game. Also Compton wasnt around to allow Whitehair to stay at OC and Grasu simply sucks. I suppose we should have seen this coming but I watch with rose colored glasses. Reality is when we lost the ball on the goal line, the game was over for a team finding a hard time to score points. Had we scored there, I think the flow of the game would have changed and the clown car would have been stalled for another week.

Tribusky has a long way to go, not making quick decisions. Bellamy shouldnt be on the field.

How do you not have focus coming out of the break, numerous penalties , potential TD turning into a touch back. We will still have big of balls this team has with adjustments after the half. They should be steam rolling the pack. Grasu as OC is disrupting the flow of the Oline. Someone needs to be a leader on this team and start kicking some ass and push this forward. Trevathan and Long being out is huge.

thats some good shit, glad you found that

I think Browns are looking so bad for passing up Franchise type QBs in the last two years of drafting they were just trying to safe face and grab a average prospect which is better than what they have.

I dont think they missed on him , he played well when around, he was just stupid on getting caught using steroids.

Life is unfair and sometimes you just have to deal with it. He has been injury prone and this probably ends his career. To bad for such a good teammate and decent TE. He was always a hard worker and had a good attitude.

It is crazy sometimes on losing by less than a point or you have a RB that should have scored but they decided to give it to the FB. It is just difficult to be good at this. I Have Brady in one league that favors QBs and he is still good but has some bland games. I try to find players that are consistent week in and week out even though they may not have the huge game potential. One league I am in first place after losing my first round pick for the year. OBJ. 3 games I have won were by less than a point. As the season goes forward I will migrate to the middle of the pack because there are several teams with more talent than me but at least my record will allow me to make the playoffs and then anything goes. Last year in this league I was either 500 or one game under and won the league. It was based more on being lucky than by design, but that works to.

I think he has a ways to go to have a popular evaluation. He probably had the best play call I have seen all year when he did the 2 point conversation with Howard, Cohen and Tribusky. I think he has potential to be good at it. I think he is handcuffed by Fox and a lack of compete WRs. Everybody wants Fox out of here and yet keep Fangio, and get a new OC but the truth is that would create problems for this team that is starting to ascend now. The new coach would be able to pick is own OC and DC, maybe he wouldn't want Fangio which would digress the defensive progress we have made. The development of Trusbiky would now have a new system to learn and new people to get use to. If we finish 8-8 or above I think the best move we can do is probably keep Fox and let the team rise as constructed. I dont think Fox is a good game day coach but he is obvious good at motivating players.

Pace has taken a lot of heat by his overall draft: Trubisky, I dont think many will complain about actually taking MT its the trading up the one spot that deserves criticism Shaneen has yet to produce but being a 2nd round pick , you expect more this spot in the draft. Cohen and Jackson were taken in the fourth being we gave away our 3 rd pick. Great choices Mogan got drafted in the 5th with the jury still out on but looks like a potential future starter. Re doing the draft with out the trade #1 Still take MT but with the third pick. ( He looks like a potential franchise QB that we had to address in this draft) We could have later taken Watson but to properly judge this pick we have to wait to year 3. #2 In the second round the only OL available worthy of that pick is OG Forrest Lamp which was lost for the season early. The other best selections were D. Cook/RB ( with Howard we were not drafting a RB here) and is on IR M. Maye/S (they could have taken the safety but appeared to be set on drafting Jackson later in the draft) they now have one of the best FSs in the draft getting in the 4th round. Z. Cunningham/MLB ( with Freeman, Trevathan and Nick K) I didnt see us drafting a MLB this high D. Thomalson/DT ( starting for the Giants and has played well) With Goldman and Hicks,Bullard ascending probably not on the radar to draft here. J.J. Smith- Shuster ( looks like a good pick going forward was average until his last game) With the WRs we had in place I did not see us drafting a WR this high. In hindsight knowing all of the injuries we had would have been a good pick but probably not playing that will with our QB situation Adam Shaheen with Miller almost done and Sims being primary a blocking TE, I can understand this pick. #3 This is a round we traded but would have been a few good players at this point: K. Hunt ( we could have drafted him instead of Cohen in the fourth but before the season Hunt was probably not on our radar) we still had Howard Copper Kupp ( with the injuries to our team would have probably been a good selection ) Has played average but has a bright future the only OT drafted in this round went on IR early Antonio Garcia Pat Ellifin/OC didnt see us drafting him with Whitehair in place Jordon Willis/OLB has had some moments as a rookie but has not been consistent (potenial draft choice at this spot in draft) Cordrea Tankersley/CB is starting but has been very average I think being we only would have had one 4th round pick we probably would have pulled the trigger on Jackson here #4 If we have drafted Jackson in our original third the only worthy pick other than Cohen at this point was Pass rusher Carl Lawson with 4.5 sacks at this stage #5 We drafted Morgan here of which the jury is still out .The other few players that has stood out. Aaron Jones/RB Jake Elliott /K George Kittle/TE No OL or WR worth anything taken in this round #6 No one of note at this time #7 No one of note at this time

We are an ascending team, if we didnt keep getting the injury bug this would be in the top 3 Ds in the league. What if Freeman was still playing and we didnt keep getting chipped in the backfield? Demps. We have a monster in Hicks and ascending players in Goldman, Bullard and Floyd. Barring anymore injuries we could still make the playoffs with a little luck.

The problem is we have to play an error free game to win. 3 plays changed a win into a loss. The offside on Fuller on the FG, cost us 4 points. The missied FG and the bad call on the Miller pass and we could have won this game. There are many other plays to look at but we keep shooting yourself in the foot.The one thing I will say is the two pass calls look bad for play calling but I do understand when you have a guard playing center and two backup Ts playing guard , you may not have as much trust in the running game as you would normally had. I would have had a rollout with an option of hitting a TE sliding to the flag or MT running it in. We simply have no margin of error and the injuries keep pushing us lower on the roster.

I think the Bears make Brees uncomfortable has around 260 and 1 TD and an interception. The only way they have a chance is if they run the ball well early and have major clock time. A few deep plays and your 24-23 Bears.

I have been playing FF for 20 years and a long time ago someone gave me some good advice. I am a person that always tries to be cute so I play with the lineups. He told me that you should always play your best players all the time. They can have some duds but will ascend over a period of time. Overall you come out better in the end.

Pace has taken a lot of flack for his first round picks since he has been here but I still think he has did a good job of developing a core of good players going forward. I heard one interview from a former GM talk about Pace and that the draft is only one part of the over all picture in building a franchise and he thinks he as did a good job. This years draft could have potentially brought us our Franchise QB that is still yet to be determined but the arrow is pointing up. The jury is still out on Shaheen but I think his upside is tremendous, you can't teach size. Jackson is looking like a future all pro type with a third round slot. Cohen is a gem, and as long as not overused will be a valuable asset for this offense going forward. Morgan has the upside to take over for Sitton as the first to go in the middle of the OL. Also added was Demps(an injury casualty) , Cooper, Prince, , Sims, Cunningham, and Jenkins. You can't plan for injuries sometimes that is just bad luck. On the downside Glennon was a sham, and the WRs he signed doesnt look to amount to much but at least he addressed our needs. No GM makes all moves that work out. Last year he drafted Floyd that is looking like a solid and potentially spectacular pass rusher. Whitehair who isnt having a good year but looks like a 10 year starter. Bullard who is starting to log in some quality minutes. Nick K is a solid addition to this football team and will transition well when Freeman ends up leaving. The jury is still out on Bush and Hall but still have upside. Howard is the gem of the 2016 draft a franchise RB in the fifth rouind. He also brought in Hicks, Trevathan, Freeman and Sitton, all core players and great additions. He also signed Kush (injury casuality) and Roy Robenson-Harris a potential core player. In 2015 he drafted White which is turning out to be a bust but you can't figure in injuries when acquiring talent. Amos and Goldman are core players and Langford had his moments that no longer matter. He also added McPhee (injury issue) Callahan, Timu, and Unrien all solid rostered players. Over all he has established our core players but have made some mistakes along the way. We are in an excellent cap situation so the mistakes have at least not handcuffed us going forward. Core additions: Howard Cohen Whitehair Floyd Goldman Sitton Callahan Jackson Amos Nick K Trevathan Freeman Merideth solid additions: Unrien Cunningham Sims Cooper Prince Jenkins Miller Jury still out but upside: Tribusky Shaheen Roy R-Harris Bullard Kush Demps Jordan Morgan He has made some big mistakes along the way Glennon (ouch) McPhee injury issues White injury issues but not his fault Do not look at money spent because we are in excellent cap space going forward or draft position and his core group look great going forward. I think he gets a B for his job so far and if Trubisky works out a A.
