Kevin's great, their offensive line is great, Addison's an awesome #2, Hockenson's a stud...I think Minnesota made those trades because they want to go get Drake Maye...If this young man goes to Minnesota he will be a stud."

Orlovsky is an idiot...If he thinks we have an awesome O-line, he should just shut his mouth and run out of the back of the end zone.

you beat me to it,   he could be silent and let the world think he is an idiot,  but instead he chose to open his mouth and prove it.

I think Maye would be a solid pick.  At 3 or 4 though the play may be to see if a certain Caleb Williams is willing to take less and force his way to us.  He has made statements in the past and has refused to give teams medicals.  The question is how comfortable is he with the Bears picking him.  The bears,  in my opinion have the possibility to be set up very very well.  They also have the possibility if Williams says he does not want them to pick him, to trade out.  They are in a flexible position and then to continue to stock pile high level draft picks.  Similar path of Detroit Lions.

all of these guys are mobile except Penix. I’m not buying this though. Maye is pretty inconsistent and has major accuracy issues on some easy throws. Unless he improves this, he’ll be an interception machine at the next level.

With that said, it’s possible KOC thinks he’ll be able to fix it. His downfield talent is indeniable. 

Just curious- what part aren't you buying? That we like Maye or that we are trying to move up?

That Maye is their guy. Maye is super talented, but his weaknesses - short passing accuracy, anticipation/timing and processing are not a great match for what we’ve seen so far with KOC’s offense. Maye takes a lot of sacks because of these issues.  

Now it’s possible that they think they can coach him on that stuff. From what I’ve watched of him (every game this past year), a lot of his issues appear to be related to his footwork more than anything. If they’ve decided they can get that stuff cleaned, then maybe he’s their target. 

For me, I see a lot of Daniel Jones in his game. That’s what I see right now. As was the question with Jones, can you coach some of those issues out of him? 

Personally, I think the ultimate target is Jayden Daniels.

This is ironic to me because Maye reminds me of Sam Darnold coming out.  

I do too. Him and Daniel Jones. Hopefully, he’s better if we go that route.

That being said, the line can pass protect at an adequate level and you have targets all over the field.  I can't think of a better situation to develop a guy with a gunslinger mentality when the head guy is a QB guru.   I'd take Maye or McCarthy and put faith in the setting to get them to the next level.

I think everyone's jumping the gun on that. I kinda think the Vikings have a handshake agreement with the Cards trading 11 and 23 for 4, and would be very happy taking whichever QB is left. But as they go through the draft process, they may realize that adding some juice to move up one or two more might be worth the squeeze. Remember, they did plant a seed with New England at the combine. 

I just get the feeling Kwesi wants to be very aggressive in getting the QB they want. I even think that if any team other than the Bears owned the 1st pick, they'd go after that one too.

So true, the guy is so irritating.
