I like how he runs always trying to go forward however the level of competition would be my concern.

I have issues with a running back that's barely 200lbs that can't crack the 4.5's. You can't draft a 203 rb that runs a 4.66 and doesn't have Matt Fotre/Marshall Faulk type receiving skills before round 5. Athletically, what does Singletary bring to the Bears that isn't there? He'd be the slowest rb in the rb room.

I'm always critical of highlight tape, but I shut that off after three and a half minutes because I've never seen so many missed tackles. And, no, he didn't make people miss, it was because of inferior competition at that level of college. Glorified high school.

I hope the Bears don't overthink this stuff. I know we're picking in the 3rd, and have to bargain hunt to an extent, but don't pick some dude that tore up community college competition. And is Nagy really thinking, "You know what's better than Tarik Cohen? Two Tarik Cohens!" I hope not.

Alfred Morris was from FAU. And BearsFan51 thought he was comparable to Ezekiel Elliott, so I would be fine with drafting a RB from FAU.

He must bring something Nagy likes. You don't meet with a player twice just for a smokescreen...

LoL

You mean the same GM that brought in DeShone Kizer multiple times only to trade up above himself for Mitchell Trubisky?

Never underestimate Ryan Pace's talent for outsmarting everyone...including himself.

(i.e. The pick will be a TE)

Why go on it then?
To get news and intelligent discussion, not a bunch of couch potatoes who think they know better than our expert's on the team. I'm not even bashing you because you just posted the information, yet you need to come to the defense of yourself.

Week old news with a nonfunctioning link. As for Singletary, I could see it but not in 3.

By your logic, no one should have questioned Jerry Angelo and Phil Emery.

If we don't go RB, I could see TE.

I really think if Burton plays against Philly we would have won that game, and I'm the type of person who would rarely say that about a single player outside of a QB. So many times during the season Burton was the go-to in critical situations. I think Trubisky needed that relief valve. With Burton not mentally there and Shaheen is looking like a bust....we might go TE.

Above it all and beneath in the same post. Well done.

Anytime you want to start adding "intelligent discussion" rather than insulting the members of this fine website...that would be great.
