Re: 2024 NFL Draft

A couple of college players I would like to see the Bears draft.
I live in Florida and am a UF alumni. My daughter currently
attends FSU, son UCF. I watch a lot of Florida college
football.
Ricky Pearsall WR UF. Not the biggest, not the fastest. Great
hands, not afraid to take a hit.

Most people familiar with his one handed highlight catch.
However watch how many misplaced passes by Mertz that he
catches. Many time the ball thrown way behind him, but he still
makes the grab.
I have seen him in mocks go 3-4th round. Personally would spend
a third round pick on him. He is money and will make whoever is
playing QB look good.
Speaking of QB's I am amazed there is not more buzz about Jordan
Travis out of FSU. Guy is a winner. Yes he was surrounded by
great skill players but FSU went IMO favorites to win National
Championship to stink when he went down with injury. If that
does not show value of a QB, not sure what would.

I have seen most draft projections in round 4. Now he is coming
off a broken leg but I really think whoever takes Jordan in 4th
round or later (if he truly last that long) is going to get a
steal.
The buzz around Caleb Williams is he creates much like Mahommes.
Extends plays, etc. Well I think Jordan Travis has done that
better than anyone the last two season of college football.
These are two guys that I would take 3rd and 4th round, if they
are there.

Hiber - Didn't watch all of either video, but sign me up for
Travis in the scenario where Fields is retained. If we could
get him in the fifth, that would be great. Pearsall looks
great, but i think we end up taking a WR early. 3rd would be
pretty early to not be filling offensive line needs. If we
don't grab WR early, then I'd have interest later.

Appears we have already taken estimates on Field's worth
already. Where there is smoke there is fire

Dave, if the big 3 WR are gone before #9, but Bowers and one (or
more) of the OTs are available, who do you take?

This year there’s not much on defense worthy of a top 15 pick.
Reportedly the pass rushers aren’t in the Will Anderson class.
Would they consider throwing some of that free agent money at DE
Josh Allen or Dt Christian Wilkins? They’re both right at the
top of their positions so will be expensive.

Bowers. He’s a stud.

This THE wildest pieces of crap I have read:

[B]According to NFL expert Tony Pauline, the Las Vegas Raiders
have “genuine interest” in Fields and are expected to explore a
trade for him.
The Raiders are expected to move on from quarterback Jimmy
Garoppolo this offseason, and Pauline notes new general manager
Tom Telesco is interested in landing a “big name” at
quarterback.
Las Vegas isn’t in a position to draft one of the top
quarterback prospects at 13th overall, but Fields, 24, is a
young, exciting player they could build around. There are
already pieces in place with wide receivers Davante Adams and
Jakobi Meyers.
The Raiders recently hired Luke Getsy as their new offensive
coordinator, which means it would be a reunion for Fields and
Getsy, who spent two years together in Chicago. It would also
mean a smooth transition for Fields, who has two years of
experience in Getsy’s offense.[/B]

Before we start cherry picking FA d-lineman you got to look at
their team's cap. Miami is one of the worst teams in the league
in regard to cap space. Minnesota (Danielle Hunter) and the
Jaguars (Allen) are in middle of the road shape.

I thought I read recently that the Raiders would NOT be
interested in Fields. Do you think Fields would want to work
under Getsy again? Part of Field's expected growth in 2024 with
the Bears would be due to GEtsy's departure.

Thats what made it a wild piece of crap. I cant imagine Getsy
wants to coach Fields again either.
