There is an Athletic article that disagrees with this and puts the Bears draft at 24th and the Packers at 27th (worst in the NFC North). https://theathletic.com/3288166/2022/05/02/nfl-draft-rankings-classes-all-32/?source=user_shared_article

Majority of rookies don't really impact fantasy football all that much unless you have a really deep league. The Bears did address the DL with Dominique Robinson who according to some was a 3rd round pick value (picked in the 5th round). The Bears also needed to fix their secondary as they really don't have anyone to play CB in the slot and they needed another safety. Both of the picks the Bears took in the 2nd round should be starting on defense. I think they did good there value wise and the Bears had both of those players higher on their board than the players who were available to be picked. The 3rd round selection is a head scratcher there I will give you that. Though he does provide a lot of speed but route running is not the greatest from this player. I would have went with Tolbert at that pick but the Bears had Jones valued higher. Jones I am actually excited to see but he probably won't start in his first or second season. Thomas on the other hand should start in his rookie season. He is a completely scheme pick in the 6th round. He is a good run blocker but needs to work on his pass blocking but he fits in perfectly in the zone-blocking scheme the Bears use. The only pick I really question is the 3rd round pick and the Trestan Ebner pick in the 6th round. I am assuming they are trying to replace Cohen with that pick there. I think they could have gotten better value by picking another DL or WR with that pick.

That is his fantasy football rankings. The guys that the Bears drafted fit with their scheme for OL. I don't believe any of the players the Packers picked would have been a fit for the Bears in their scheme. Again this is where draft grades are not really all that relevant. Teams are going to pick players based on how they fit and not based on a grade or ranking from random people.

Draft grades are all nearly based on the player ranking and not based on team needs or fits on the team. The grades are rather useless really as they don’t really say all that much after the first 5 or 10 picks in the draft.

With Elon’s purchase being official now for Twitter, I wonder what the impact is going to be on the tech market. There are some rumors about Twitters earnings will be down a lot so the board took the deal. The price may drop a bit between now and when their earnings are reported if the rumors are true.

2022 MLB Draft Thread (Pre-Draft Discussion)
nate82 replied to Eye Black's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
First major injury in the draft with Chase DeLauter breaking his foot. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/chase-delauter-potential-no-1-pick-in-2022-mlb-draft-to-miss-at-least-three-weeks-after-breaking-foot/ -
Consumer prices rose 8.5% in March. Still not worried about inflation?

Ovechkin scored career goal 775 today which puts him 119 short of Gretzky. It looks like as long as Ovechkin stays healthy he should pass Gretzky near the end of his current contract. I will still take Gretzky over Ovechkin but where does Ovechkin rank all time?

I watched Metal Lords on Netflix cheesy but good.

The books I read are not allowed to be discussed here. I read a lot of books from Thomas Sowell and others mostly. I have been reading the graphic novel BRZRKR which has been good so far. This is written by Keanu Reeves well co-wrote by him and another Matt Kindt and illustrations done by Ron Garney

I don't think the level of competition should really be an issue with WR. QB's sure but skill players I just can't get behind that. I believe Moss and Owens both had these same questions when they were drafted. Moss had some other baggage at the time which hurt his stock but still had the competition question attached to him. If the player can run, jump and catch I don't believe the competition is really going to matter. For a QB it is a little bit different as you can get away with mistakes that you wouldn't normally get away with in other conferences but for a WR there is very little that you can scrutinize there. You can say that the numbers would come down and they normally do even from players who are at a higher level of competition. I wouldn't be worried about competition when drafting a WR I am more looking at how well they cut, run routes and catch the ball. I would put the competition last or not even in consideration on determining which WR to draft over another. Competition matters when you are comparing stats but when comparing players on who you want to draft I don't think it matters at the skill positions.

Similar to my Bears draft but the Bears taking Chenal in round 2 along with a CB or WR. Also have Parham to the Bears in the 4th I think.

LOL probably would.

As a Bears fan this is what I think the Packers will do: On a more less trolling and serious version:

Excel question (or...where can I find Whiff% by Pitch Type)
nate82 replied to homer's topic in Off-Topic Forum
If you were doing this for work an application like Alteryx is a better option even R, Python or SAS would be better options if you want to go the coding route. If you needed more analysis you could then have Alteryx export the information as a hyper file which is what Tableau uses. Alteryx creates the hyper file which would then update your Tableau workbook. -
I finally watched the new Ghostbusters movie last night. This version was better than the cringe one from a few years ago. The plot actually made sense in this one and the jokes were good.

Excel question (or...where can I find Whiff% by Pitch Type)
nate82 replied to homer's topic in Off-Topic Forum
If you have them linked it will save the filename and location into the cell. All you have to do then is keep the filename the same every time and then refresh in the workbook you want the information to be refreshed in. I believe you can select refresh on open in the settings of Excel. You can also create a pivot table off of the information and that will allow you to sort and filter without limitations. -
Probably a controversial thing but Run Hide Fight was actually a pretty good movie that isn't getting the recognition it deserves. As for Batman there is an overly rich white people bad except for Batman. Without going into the plot too much it is a theme that goes throughout the movie. Even the majority of the corrupt police officers are white. So it does go into the identity politics a lot.

Unlikely to happen unless you are doing some crazy tax write off amounts.

Or they are looking for a unicorn.

How does this work? Are you referring to a 401(k)? Can you explain this? Personal trading account. Since I work in a department that has advanced knowledge of financial instruments I am limited on when and what I can trade. Similar to government officials though they hardly ever follow these rules and when they don’t it is usually just a slap on the wrist don’t do it again type of a issue. For me I can be fired or have my bonus denied at the end of the year. But if I have my own personal 401k that wouldn’t apply just my personal trading account. I have authority to trade on my mom’s 401k. I had to register it with my employer but I don’t have to submit for approval on trades in that account.

I am at a freeze at work and can’t trade again until after 3/15. Well I can trade but I will have to fill out a form and get approval first.

I think the old saying of dress for the job is still appropriate. Also I always look at the company’s policy or ask HR what the dress code is. While coming in all professional is a good idea over dressing your interviewer to me is worse than under dressing. If they are business casual and you come in a suit that is not really a good match or look IMHO.

Futurama is being brought back on Hulu in 2023 but the voice actor for Bender John DiMaggio may not be brought back. I loved Futurama but not sure I could love it without John DiMaggio.

As a teacher I think that would be an easier task than most. The parents are basically your networking, I know a few people who were able to get into a nice role in a financial company by just going to a church function. Charities are also really good networking opportunities as you can normally find a lot of different organizations at the events and can easily network. One of my friends in college who moved out to Boston was able to get a new job through meeting someone at a local school board meeting. Everything is a networking event and you have already made the connections just need to put the strings together.
