It won't. Teams really do not consider age as a knock on a prospect of he can play. If you can get great play out of the kid for 5 years why would you think he couldn't give you a few more in their 30s? The only thing that really matters is if the kid can play the game at a high level in the nfl.

The way I see it is like this. The Bears are interested in getting the most picks for the 1st overall. Inside the top 10 they could pull the most from the Panthers. Do the want to drop that far down this draft? Anyone behind use will have to throw in much more. Do the Bears want to drop even further down in this draft? I doubt it but future picks from another team the may not be as good so the future picks may be higher could play a factor. In reality I think the Panthers wait the Bears out on those picks if a team ahead of us is bidding. That team will have to give up more than the Panthers and thus overpay for that pick. My speculation is the the Panthers will wait until a few minutes before the 1st pick is on the clock and they will make the Bears an offer. If by some chance either Young or Stroud are available at 3 they will be in the phone with Arizona. They could still try for pick 3 even if those 2 are gone just for a shot at Levis. If all that fails I think they sit tight and see who drops in their lap. I just cannot see them trading up unless there's a chance at the top 2, maybe 3.

It's just one opinion of many. Didn't even read the article so that should tell you where I stopped reading. No offense meant.

At least he used to be. As long as the guaranteed money is low I would not worry about it. The team wouldn't make that decision until after the draft anyway.

Don't watch ESPN. Surprised anyone does honestly.

From listening to Frank over the past few weeks he clearly indicated that they are not going to go with the old qb stereotypes. He's looking to evolve the offense to meet the current direction the league is going. Luckily for us there are a lot of prospects in the draft that can accelerate that transition. But they've got to be smart and accurate as well as a high character guy. I think I would start there and figure our odds of getting that person or persons.

It certainly could. It's going to be interesting to watch it play out.

The rumor right now is that they want Lamar. But everything this time of year is rumor, speculation or a smokescreen. Until someone is signed or traded in FA that's all you will get.

I just cannot see him adding 25 pounds in that amount of time anyway. Who can say what these kids are thinking. Most of them have been preparing for the draft for a year or more. Their game film carry the most weight and the interview being what can make or break their draft position. The other drills really do not move the needle for the teams.

Speculation is Young would rather throw to his own receivers who he already has chemistry with at his pro day. It makes sense that he would rather do that. A lot of players choose to do that. It just erks fans because they cannot watch them at their pro days.

So let me get this straight. If you hire the person you feel is the best candidate but they happen to be a minority that being a minority was the only reason because of the compensation in picks you may receive later? Bullshit.

I know that they are not interested in Roger's and probably not Carr also. But they will listen to Carr and assess a fall back position if necessary. The goal is the draft and has always been since before you know who was canned. Now that he isn't calling the shots I would bet that the draft is where they look first and foremost.

...and the Bears would take him and trade Fields.

Makes drafting skill positions more important than ever. Let someone else sign the huge contracts for so so WRs.

Good point. Didn't think about that initially.

Better.

Well Frank is there with coffee in hand. They just showed him on nfl network walking in.

I thought it didn't start until Thursday? That's what they said on nfl network those morning. The qbs don't show out until Saturday. Young is not attending, only throwing at his pro day.

The media's early guess is that the Panthers go after Ramsey.

Eflein should not be on the depth chart at all.

They are not.
