Nope! If the Bears draft Jeanty, they become instant SB contenders and guaranteed the NFC North champion. We have got to find a way to move up to get him so that the Bears, or worse yet, the Packers don't.

I must have missed that they traded for Mahomes. I guess I don't see that. Tomlinson and Peterson were the most dominant backs in the NFL and never got a title. It isn't like we are talking that they are getting Andrew Luck at number 1 or something.

If the Bears add Jeanty it could really unlock all their weapons on offense. That might even be likely, with how talented he is. I can see the appeal from their side, despite the cost.

The North will likely be pretty tough again, hopefully we're up to the task again. I like where the Vikes are at!

Vikings are loaded. I expect them to compete for the title with the Lions—again. But there's no doubt the Bears are going to be better. They completely rebuilt that IOL and they have Ben Johnson running it all. We don't want the draft's best offensive player on that team.

We can't control what players our division rivals draft...we just need to ensure we draft players that can give us immediate impact, making our good team even better.

So I don't know if anyone is catching the latest smoke rumors but LMAO they are ALL over the place: contradictory, hyperbolic and some just plain stupid. Some 'insiders' going the complete opposite of what they said yesterday. The hype machine is on Red Bull and Espresso, while reaching for another hit of the crack pipe.

All for a draft year that is frankly, pretty unsexy.

LOL. Some NFL GMs will never learn.....they'll overdraft Milroe guaranteed. He's not a QB.

I think of Milroe is a poor man's Justin Fields if you can imagine that. He's probably a better runner, but as bad as Fields is as a passer, Milroe is even worse. He'll throw a great pass downfield and you'll think, oh maybe, then he'll bounce two straight gimmes off the ankles. I don't think you can trust a guy like that in the NFL. Honestly, I would be surprised if he ever plays a down in the NFL.
