2023 NFL Draft Thread (Day 2 starts on page 9)

LOL. I was wondering why I was posting to myself.

 

 

[Joseph Zarr]

Thanks for the heads up @PeaveyFury

[Joseph Zarr]

I mentioned BIjan Robinson to ATL earlier (in the wrong thread). Makes a ton of sense. NOW, it certainly seems like the Bears could go big big boom or bust and go for Jalen Carter (who they were rumored to want at 1 before the trade).

[OldHeidelberg]

Lots of trades but only Richardson has really been higher that I would have though. Titans will take Levis if no one trades up, Atlanta takes Bijon and Bears Carter?

Don't get Arizona trading back up. A tackle was very likely going to be there at 12, and even if you have Johnson as #1 the difference between him and the next few guys is almost certainly not worth a 2nd.

That's the danger of your franchise QB advocating for one particular guy, as he did with PJJ. Feel like they were compelled to make a trade back up to get him, giving up a nice early 2nd round pick as a result.

Man a major character issue in Carter in a city like Chicago just feels like an epic epic bust waiting to happen. They were rumored to want him before all the hoopla and stuff outside of football.

Devil's Advocate: They also got a pick back in the 80's AND got Houston's 2024 1st.

They were supposedly high on him when they had #1. Kind of a gut punch as a rival fan that he may fall into their lap at 9 while picking up a ton by trading back.

Oh boy. Eagles and Bears swap is being whispered about. Man, the Iggles getting Jalen Carter would be SO Eagles. Ugh.

[PeaveyFury]

Yep. Eagles up to #9.

[brewcrewdue80]

Well at least we don't see Carter twice a year.

They're going to grab Jalen Carter because they only want dominant DL. That will be NUTS. Pair him with his former teammate too and all those Edge rushers? Wild.

[Joseph Zarr]

I hate it when our pick approaches. I only anticipate pain. 

[PeaveyFury]

Chicago needs corner help, Titans probably take Levis. Leaves Detroit as the last major wildcard before #13.

[Joseph Zarr]

Years later, I am still traumatized by the Mike Sherman trade up for BJ Sander. Still traumatized. 

[OldHeidelberg]

I am not sure what the Bears will do now, Skoronski? Seems like JSN will fall to us as I think Lions may grab Gonzalez.

Oh man I sincerely hope so. JSN is literally my pipe dream. He'd be our slot wizard ala Julien Edelman with Brady. He's so shifty and sure-handed.

Detroit will burn us by trading down with the Pats

[CheeseheadInQC]

If it does go Skoronski, Levis, Gonzalez, then you’ve got JSN, Jones or a pass rusher, 

[SeaBass]

Anything but a TE at 13. Anything but a TE at 13. Anything but a TE at 13.

[Joseph Zarr]

Prepare for Pain. We are Wisconsin sports fans. It is only pain with sprinkles of incredulous success.

[brewcrewdue80]

Looks like Bears going Darnell Wright.  

[PeaveyFury]

Wright is a BOLD pick there. Bold.

I don’t know if he’ll be a superstar, but he seems to be among the most likely to end up somewhere between 10-20th best in the draft when all is said and done.

[Joseph Zarr]

Darnell Wright is a very intriguing OT prospect for the Bears. I don't like it.
