    You can’t be serious lol she wouldn’t say she’s wearing 4 inch heels and 5’7
    Rather Stroud but not against Bryce. This would be a great offseason. If Meco can get a LB (Sewell) and DB (Ji’Ayir) with those remaining picks, we could have something and quick.

    The Bears need an Offensive Tackle. How about Tunsil, #12, #33 for 1.1? Draft Young and Carter. Sign FA Center and Offensive Tackle. BPA rest of draft.

    No thank you.
    Which tackle are you signing in free agency? Just curious as to your thought on this

    The Texans need a QB. Preferably one with some veteran experience. How about #12, a 3rd this year and a 2nd next year for Justin Fields?

    Howard to LT, best available RT or if you want Orlando Brown (doubtful you can get him) and leave Howard at RT. I want Carter as the anchor to our defense for the next decade. If it’s true the Texans are set on QB at 1.2 then I’d rather trade 1.12 and 2.33 than moving up 1 spot (which purportedly) would cost us 1.12 plus more picks. It’s a big chance not to sign Tunsil, but he does kind of suck at run blocking. I don’t know much about the RT’s available. If they all suck than I probably don’t do it, but it was just a hypothetical to see what other folks thought. Thanks for responding.

    Personally I am vehemently against losing Tunsil. Our OL was garbage after losing Brown and it took all the way until Laremy to fix the problem. He’s young and elite and actually wants to be here. We need a strong OL for whatever young QB is eventually brought in.

    There’s holes literally in every other position except OT. Leave Tunsil and Howard alone. Get a C and pray Green isn’t a bust.

    Is being compared to Sam Bradford a good thing?

    Coming out of college Bradford was a great prospect, just wasn’t durable and couldn’t put the pieces together. Plus he had an elite offensive line during his Heisman year and didn’t see much pressure until the NFL.

    The year Bradford won the Heisman OU was ranked #7 nationally in sacks allowed. The year Young won the Heisman Alabama was ranked #101 nationally in sacks allowed. Not sure I would consider an offensive line ranked 101 in the country in sacks allowed as elite but that’s just me.

    I think he’s referring to Stroud

    I assumed Young since Stroud didn’t win the Heisman and I thought we were comparing those two winners. I have heard some say Young played behind this elite OL which couldn’t be further from the truth.

    Not sure where you’re getting 101st Oline. Wasn’t elite for Bama but not anywhere near the bottom either. Not like they were anywhere near Kentucky bad

    I just can’t imagine Dell falling out of mid/late 2nd. Someone takes a chance on that game changing speed before round 3
