Peter King Says Don't Be Surprised If The Bears Take Fournette At #3

Lol at peter king. I'm pretty sure the NFL has started cloning college players because the 49ers, bears, jags, jets, us, and bengals are all going to draft Fournette.  At this point it looks like the NFL is just going to be giving Fournettes away at the draft like the toy in a happy meal.

This is the worst draft week in recent memory.

I honestly think a lot of it has to do with there being a lack of both starpower and good matches of specific positions with the needs of the teams picking in the top 10.  The lack of clear cut positional needs lining up with the players available projected early lends itself to all of the "dont be surprised..." rumors and makes it seem like EVERYONE is an option for every team.

I wouldn't be surprised that the Bears are that stupid. BPA is a smart strategy and taking Fournette could fit that, but even BPA factors in the makeup of the roster. I would bet DG wouldn't even be considering a RB at 8 if we had gotten Gurley a couple years ago or had a similar young stud. They have Howard who was close to as good as Gurley was his rookie year and on a much cheaper rookie deal for 3 more years and have tons of holes on defense, particularly in the secondary. All of Lattimore, Adams and Hooker would be much bettter picks than Fournette considering their roster. And that's not even considering DL yet.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      yeah, now it's going to get awkward.  The team circles pay attention to all this stuff.  All the wives and girlfriends see the posts.  They all talk like everyone.  Football is just a normal world outside of the fact they play a game for lots of money.  Gossip travels. They know the Theilen's want out at this point.  Carolina is now the disappointed failed trade location.    So now AT takes sort of an inhouse hit in Carolina IMO

      2025 Roster Cuts

      Ummm... The dude looked like he was about 180 pounds soaking wet with us (I don't care what his listed weight was/is) - he would have been destroyed in the run game even more than our current and past crappy ILBs. The problem is we primarily play 3-4 or nickel/dime - there is little room on the field for him because he isnt an edge LB blitzer and he can't cover for crap. The only thing he can do kind of well is be an in-the-box safety that can try and beat blockers to the spot because of his athleticism. Washington was able to make him work last year because they used him solely as an in-the-box safety and almost exclusively ran a single high FS. The funny thing is they had good yards/game stats against the pass despite most of their secondary having embarrassingly low PFF grades. Washington was also terrible against the run, which might explain why they gave up so few yards passing.

      Just get the deal done. We've teased it so much that the Thielen's expect it. Now we run the risk of our veteran WR locker room presence becoming disgruntled. Just take what we can get, make him happy, and get future assets while freeing up snaps for guys who will be here beyond this season.
