I've mentioned this idea several times, and it's really all that needs to be said. Teams pool players, if you have nice pool of guys in the same basket at your slot you try to trade back. If not, you select.
I think if they have several players who are in the same bucket, then trading back a few spots will certainly be an option. They should be able to get a 3rd from DEN or LV if those teams are interested. If there's one guy they think is far better than the rest, take him.
Talent for QBs is really difficult to see. He's incredibly athletic and has all the tools you want to see physically. It remains to be seen if he's talented in terms of the most important thing, and that's getting the ball where it needs to be at the right time. He didn't show enough of that.
Luther Burden is a beast.
I'd keep in mind that a year ago very few people had Odunze as an elite prospect, and not many more had Nabers at that level.
Yes, he's still effective and versatile. Would be a guy to target after the draft if you have a glaring hole. Doubt he'd come to be anything less than a guy projected for 500 snaps.
If you're att #9 and you have three guys all ranked similarly at positions of need, then maybe try to trade down a few spots to one of the QB needy teams and pick up a 3rd rounder. If it's just one or two guys, pull the trigger.
Good spot to be in. Not a ton of needs.
With Allen I think the Bears would like to shoot for something in the range of $60m/3 years with maybe $40 gtd. Basically a two year deal with a team option on the third.
Seeing as Allen has $0 gtd right now, he might take it as a hedge against a bad injury or big decline this year. Tough to...
I would put Robinson right there with him depending on the type of player you want.
I am an Illinois fan (haha, jokes on me) and I've watched Newton for most of his snaps the last couple years. He was misused in their 3-3-5, basically wasn't asked to press the gap which is what he's best at...
