For entertainment purposes, I was to see a Panther splash. 

However, waiting is not a bad thing--and I am hoping not to see a huge deal today--but I think Morgan will grab his main guy (s) today.

I think after the Gantt and Jeremiah tweet yesterday, they set expectations really high. I’m with you, I’m fine waiting as well.

The Bears have spent the past week revamping their offensive line and they made another HUGE move on Monday with former Falcons center Drew Dalman agreeing to terms on a three-year, $42 million deal that includes $28 million in guaranteed money. Dalman was ranked as the seventh best available free agent on Prisco's top 100

Ben Johnson had one of the best offensive lines in the NFL when he was in Detroit and now, he's trying to build the same thing in Chicago. Here's a look at what the Bears have done over the past week: 

March 4: Acquired Jonah Jackson in trade with Rams
March 5: Acquired Joe Thuney in trade with Chiefs 
March 10: Added Drew Dalman in free agency

On paper, the Bears offensive line is already light years better than it was last year.

He said he was doing what we did last year after seeing our results.

FOr those who think free agency is bad, The Eagles spent $275 m in free agency last year.  For the past 5 years, every team that spent the most in free agency won 3 or more games the following year.  Jacksonville, a few years ago, won 6 more games.  Not to say these stats are long-term improvement, but probably more like a cortisone shot.

New England head coach Mike Vrabel continues to add to his defense. The Patriots are signing Robert Spillane, per Ian Rapoport

Spillane spent the last two seasons with Las Vegas and played in every game. Last season, he finished with a career-high 158 tackles. Spillane had two sacks and two interceptions.

What we really should want is for the Patriots to strike out at finding an LT.

If they’re able to sign a legit LT, it opens them up to draft BPA, but if they can’t, they’ll all but be forced to draft one there, which means one less player from our board will be drafted before we’re on the clock

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
