Generally logical draft, well done. I don’t think the bears take bowers but he is an option. Most likely odunze. I personally want them to trade down and get more picks as they only have 4 with 8 or 9 holes to fill across the roster. Trade down could be small where they still get an edge rusher...
Dallas all in - lol
I hadn't followed them much in the off season but see that they are in a bad cap situation with so many poorly constructed contracts. Dad is a 55M cap hit this year and their other star players are contract problems as well - Lamb and Parsons looking for huge deals, aging...
Except that they give up a high value 2nd rounder for a rental player. The main reason I liked it in my previous post was that they had him under contract for 4 years. Seems more like checkers to me now.
Comparing the two major WR trades:
Keenan Allen:
- 1.5 yrs older
- 23.5M cap hit and RFA in 2025
- 100+ catch level
- Cost 2024 4th round
Stefon Diggs
- 1.5 yrs younger
- 19M cap hit with 4 yrs at same 19M average and no dead cap hit if cut - a huge bargain in today's WR market. RFA in 2028

Tampering investigation in progress. The Falcons are most vulnerable with Cousins admitting he had talks with the Falcons org prior to the legal time period. Miami...
I want to keep Fields, trade #1 and get 5ish high picks / players for it similar to last year. It's really hard to tell what they will do though. All reports are just pure speculation at this point as all GMs are lying in a high stakes poker game right now. I "think" they will keep Fields and...
You don't think he is an upgrade over Pickett or Rudolph? A significant one imo. The real question is how the Broncos can absorb the cap implications of trading him. Not sure how 85M in dead cap would work in a trade.
Due to the money albatross, expect very low compensation if a deal happens...
For a short term window I agree. The big question is around whether the bears and other teams feel like Fields will continue to improve and develop to a top 10ish qb.
