A good 40 time even with a terrible 10-yard split supports the idea that Franklin's got "another gear"...right?

I think it's possible. JA and Fields have somewhat similar playing styles. Trubisky has already proven that he's a barely adequate backup, so the bar is pretty low. I don't think Fields on his rookie deal is a very expensive backup, although honestly, I'm not sure what hit he's going to have on Pittsburgh's cap...

I think it happens a lot with guys who are well-liked within an organization. Ryan Bates is an example.

I haven’t heard, but it would not shock me if the Bills were interested.

If you watch the tape, Franklin’s constantly running away from defensive backs, even when they have the angle on him…he has another gear.

I have to believe Franklin's film is as good as anyone's outside the top 3 guys...and it's not like he ran slow at the combine. 4.41 ain't bad...

What were the Bears supposed to do, in your opinion? At least they swindled Carolina out of the first overall pick in the draft, so they have options...

I don't understand all this dunking on the Bears. They have actually made a lot of really astute trades lately. The trade with Carolina last year was brilliant, and their mid-season trade for Montez Sweat was widely mocked, but has turned out well for Chicago; he completely turned around their defense. The only bad one they've made in the last couple years was giving up a 2nd for Claypool. And who are the busts they've drafted? Fields didn't really work out but he's been a lot better than guys like Zach Wilson and he was taken the middle of the first, not at the top. They are positioned to have a pretty strong team this year if they draft the right QB. Supposedly, at least one team with an established starter tried to acquire Fields, but Chicago decided to do him a favor by sending him somewhere he would have a chance to play.

It wasn’t much fun in 2013.

Don't get trolled...Diggs is not getting traded. From a cap perspective, it is virtually impossible. Not Happening.

I'm going with Oregon RB Bucky Irving. He reminds me of Devin Singletary, with better speed. Always, always makes the first tackler miss, doesn't fumble and is a good receiver out of the backfield. He'll be an excellent pick for someone in round 5 or 6.

I am still not totally convinced that the Bears are drafting Caleb Williams. I’ll believe it when they turn in the card.

Not mention, anyone who thinks we could have gotten the 23rd pick for Diggs (or that there is any realistic way to trade Diggs) is detached from reality.

I think the target is the Giants at 6, to take McCarthy. I don' think they can get into the top 3.

Even next year’s first round pick has limited value because teams assume that it will be near the end of the first round.

It's the least of our concerns...there are still about a dozen or more starting safeties available on the F/A market and they won't cost much...

Glad Gay is gone. He was very effective as a Josh Allen spy.

The 5th year option is a slam dunk. We're talking about a three-down defensive end who can stuff the run and has a ton of upside as a pass rusher. Remember, Rousseau is only 23-years old...younger than some guys in this year's draft.

We sure as hell aren't trading a premium draft pick for a 33-year old edge rusher. It's just asking for trouble.

There a lot of good, cheap receivers who are going to become available in 6 weeks. WR is an increasingly important position in the NFL, but the draft seems to be producing a bumper crop pretty consistently nowadays. That’s gonna affect the market.

I am relieved that he is not resigning.

Not if someone likes them in round 1.

It’s entirely possible they like Nix or Penix, both of whom should be there.

Have you seen any hint of a decline?

That was a hell of a trade for the Bills...got us in position to draft the Franchise.
