I swear if Cooper Dejean goes off the board and the Pack take this fricken Kool-aid guy...it will be HAHA DIX all over again....

First I ever heard of the kool-aid guy was this morning when I was reading Mel kiper’s report. Is that his real name? I have a lot of questions I need answers to.

Bears haven’t been this excited for a drafted qb since 3 years ago!! With Justin Fields!As a Bears fan, that IS a fun fact. May your streak continue for a couple more decades.

Of course I root against them, but they are having a heck of an off season. In 2026 the NFC North will likely be the best top to bottom division.

I'm actually really shocked we now haven't seen any late 2nd trades. I thought perhaps with the crazy draft capital the Pack had they would have traded up for someone they really wanted after their trade down.

It was a nickname and he ended up changing it didn't he?

Keep in mind even if quality picks are randomly distributed throughout the draft, when you pick late, by definition, most quality picks will be picked ahead of you. That only means that you're picking in the back half, not that you're picking poorly.
I don’t think quality picks are randomly spread throughout the draft. As much as it makes headlines when a high pick fizzles, 1st rounders fare better than 2nd rounders who fare better than 3rd rounders etc. I seem to remember reading the actual stats but don’t recall them. Be fun to see if I remember correctly.
I hope the Vikes don’t end up with the top few picks either as that means we don’t really really suck. I suppose we could get one in a trade however. We will probably just kinda sorta suck!
Count me as a someone who thinks Caleb will be a bust.

Caleb went the Bears. Name one Bears QB that worked out? He is doomed from the start.

There is a Nobel economist that spent some effort to determine the economic rationality of the NFL draft. Interesting stuff. His name escapes me, but he is at U Chicago.

Quality starters aren’t equally distributed.
The Draft Research Project: Offensive Players by Position and Round
While each draft has its own nuances, across eight years certain trends emerge and it becomes relatively obvious which positions carry more urgency than others and which investments are more and less likely to pay off.

Maybe, maybe not. Of course, teams invest much more in early picks too.
