A poorly run team that's tens-of-millions over the cap and has $52 million in dead cap space. Mickey Loomis is really not a good GM and it lightening in a bottle with Sean Payton and Drew Brees.
Tyler Shough is going to be 26? LOL The Saints drafted and guy who will be out of his prime in a few years. He's also been in college longer than Makhtar N'Diaye and he played college basketball for like 32 years until he was 55 or something.
They showed a shot of the Bears war room and it looked like one of their personnel people was drinking a beer. I'd drink too if I was in the Bears organization. Glad to see they had two picks and went for the lesser of the two TEs and an average WR in a poor WR draft class. Good to see they aren't protecting their QB by drafting a OL.
By Tony Wilfork I am guessing you either mean Vince Wilfork or Soprano's actor Tony Siragusa. If Williams is half the player Wilfork or Siragusa were then this pick is a huge success (no pun).
DT is a big need in the short term because of the injury to Alim. We may be without McNeill for half the season or more and that will significantly impact this defense, both in terms of pass rush and against the run. It's a need long term because DJ Reader is north of 30 and his play is clearly declining. It's a need anyway you look at it. I would have preferred an Edge like Mike Green or the DE from Boston College. But DT was most certainly a need.
Williams had 46 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. He's a big guy at 6'3 and 329lbs. He's a space eater and a run stopper for sure. He'll likely require some interior double teams at times. It's a position of need for sure with McNeill out for a while.
Alright. It's not Green and it's Tyleik Williams DT from OSU. It's in the trenches and they needed a DT and got one. I'm not stoked about it, but I don't hate it either.
I want Mike Green too, but with his alleged sexual assault allegations he may not even be on their board whatsoever. I'd like a dynamic, quick, strong, productive Edge like Green.
I didn't say this earlier when it happened, but I'm so happy to see the Bears do Bears things. To take a TE when they have one already and they passed on the perceived better of the two TEs in Loveland over Warren, I love it. Ben Johnson can talk all the **** he wants but the Bears are still doing Beary predictably dumb things.
The Falcons gave up a first next year to trade up into the back half of the first round? That's seems like awful trade value for them and great for the Rams.
