He officially beat him with a 4.22.

I really liked Zay Jones, very smooth, and caught pretty much everything.
-
throwing now on NFL Network I thought Kizer looked like crap, threw a couple of outs behind the WR, then over threw on the crossing patterns. He looked better to the right. However, he would not be in my top 5. His first throw to the left for the curl routes, he over threw by 4-6 feet, it was ugly. I am not impressed. The kid from Iowa has looked pretty good (Beathard), and I like what I have seen from Dobbs from Tennessee (who is an Aerospace Engineer).

If the Bears pass on Cam Robinson in the first, I think we can still get a starter in the 2nd or 3rd with any of these guys: Garett Bolles, OT, Utah, reminds me of Kyle Long, had some issues, but has been dominating and was top 5 in all combine events for OL. He is also older (25 in May) and that may make some pass on him. 1st in Broad Jump Antonio Garcia, OT, Troy, 2nd in Vert Jump Forrest Lamp, OT, Western Kentucky, 2nd in bench with 34 reps, 4th in Broad Jump Dorian Johnson, OT, Pittsburgh, 5th in Vert Jump, 2nd in Broad Jump, 2nd in 3-Cone, 4th in 20yd Shuttle,

Yes, my point was the more RB's that look good and move up the draft board, the better options we will have at our need positions.
-
For Marshall, I was thinking Seattle or Carolina, but either way, whatever team gets him, they should prepare to miss the playoffs.
-
Connor Shaw re-signed with Bears: https://twitter.com/cmshaw8/status/838037560798687233 Great signing, I think he has the potential to at least be a quality backup and potentially a starter.
-
Christian McCaffrey is killing it, definitely a first round lock. Hopefully more RBs go in the first, which would be helpful for the Bears 2nd round pick.
-
Hoyer/Shaw is probably the best option this year. However, I don't think that should mean not drafting one in the first 3 rounds. You also mentioned Schaub in another post, would you rather have him than Hoyer? What about Geno Smith, RG3?
-
It is definitely going to be someone no one is talking about, like Geno Smith.......
-
Sure, but does he have enough tape to make that assessment?
-
Is McCarron, a 5th Round pick (#164) worth pick #67? That is a pretty high pick. I would not give more than a 4th for him.
-
Since we are not cutting him, if he signs a decent deal, we will at least get a comp pick for him next year. The Chargers got a 5th for Royal, so I would assume we would at least get a 4th for Jeffery. If Cutler and Alshon walk, that would be Cutler, Forte, Marshall, Jeffery, and Bennett all lost since the start of the Pace tenure (on offense alone).
-
33 yrs old, just missed a bunch of games last year, and he plays C/G, which is literally the strength of the team (Long, Sitton, Whitehair), so I don't know if he would add anything at this point. Where would he play?
-
Stafford is as much of a Franchise QB as Cutler is. No issues with Luck, but still too early to anoint Winston.
-
Bill Polian was on Sirius and said that if Cutler was released, he would be the best option of the available free agents. He also said he would take McCarron over any of the QB's in the draft fwiw.
-
Why would we sign a 31 yr old DE, not address OT until the 5th round, sign a FA TE and then draft another, then draft an RB? I think we can do better than that.
-
It will suck if we just cut him and get absolutely nothing in return for how many picks we gave up for him originally.

I wanted to take a unit approach look to evaluating our offseason needs. I think it is pretty evident where we need help, but wanted to verify it with some comparisons (by unit). So I looked at PFF Rankings (and will follow with a few more) to see how we looked compared to NE and ATL. Here are the latest rankings I could find by unit: NE QB - 1st, OLine - 10th, Receiving Corps - 6th, RB Units - 18th Front-7 - 18th, Secondary - 3rd ATL QB - 2nd, OLine - 6th, Receiving Corps - 1st, RB Units - 8th Front-7 - 24th, Secondary - 6th CHI QB - 26th, OLine - 15th, Receiving Corps - 28th, RB Units - 17th Front-7 - 23rd, Secondary - 30th This is how we compared to the lower of the two Super Bowl teams: -24 QB, -5 OL, -22 WR/TE, +1 RB, +1 DL/LB, -24 DB Looking at that, we have critical needs at QB and DB, with WR/TE a close 3rd, then there is a huge gap to OLine where our need centers around our Tackles. RB and Front-7 are actually better than the lower SB team, though our Front-7 is still ranked 23rd. So using this as an offseason priority list, it would look something like this: QB, DB, WR/TE, OL, DL Nothing too surprising there, however, I think I was giving our Receiving Corps too much credit and may have to revisit drafting a WR or TE earlier than I originally thought we needed to. Also, there is a case to be made that we need multiple DB's before going DL.
-
Yeah, just missed him when I was totaling (not like there were a lot). RG3 distracted me. How about 2 All-Pro votes (total) and 7 of 26 QBs made Pro Bowl (which includes RG3 and excludes Flacco).
-
I will give you Luck, I glossed over him on the table. That is still 4 out of 26 considered Franchise QB's. Would you want any of the others, and do you think any of the other guys will actually lead their team to a Super Bowl? Tannehill has shown who he is and I don't know if he will get much better than what he has shown. To me, Stafford has always been overrated. When you spend most of your career just flinging the ball up in the vicinity of Megatron, then you are going to have good numbers. He has also never won a playoff game. I included Cam in the 3. I think it is still too early for Winston, Wentz, or Mariota. Bortles is mediocre at best and was arguably the worst full-time starter in the league last year. He has the same amount of turnovers (69) as he has TD passes and a lifetime QB rating of 79.6, I'll pass.
-
Of the 1st round QB's drafted in the last 10 years, only 5 out of 26 have a winning record, and only 3 are legit Franchise QBs (Ryan, Flacco, Newton): The last few years have really not provided that much.
-
Here ya go from ESPN Insider: also:
-
If this becomes a 2nd rounder only, do we do it? Is Garrapolo have more potential than Trubisky, Watson, or Kizer? Is the current staff (Fox) want to go thru a few years of a growing pains with a rookie QB or would they want someone more established? If not Garrapolo, what about Taylor or Glennon?
-
For a trade, I would almost want to move down in the first to get another pick (if we used 2nd on Garrapolo), because the sweet spot in the draft seems like it is 2nd-4th round (in terms of value).
