@TheAthletic Your bracket is off and doesn’t match the ones on
the FIFA webpage and on ESPN

@hmdcec1974 @davebftv He threw a pass to Rome in a game last year. Originally called complete then reversed.

@Kirsten_Tanis1 I’ll always look at Treveyon’s stats and wonder what if, but in this case that involves LBIII, who may be even better. So it’s a wonderful analysis.

[Nickolai Levin @NickolaiLevin]

@Pete_Martuneac The key question is when they made those decisions. It’s not fully clear from context but it may well have been right after NE took Jacas because they afterwards reference Boerkircher going 56 to JAX.

@Kirsten_Tanis1 @danielcoltun I watched a Hoge and Jahns video last year in which Adam said Cole had said to him that he preferred his new role, which was a better fit for him, than the Move TE (two years ago Cole was regularly on CHGO)

@BearsFanTV @davebftv Your graphic is off. Missing the cb. Elliott was rd 5

[Nickolai Levin @NickolaiLevin]

@Bears_Hype_Man I hope that we’re good enough we have no chance at drafting him

@Kirsten_Tanis1 @NextGenStats @MBandNFL @awscloud Some Vikings fans posted that bears were targeting banks. Evidently that’s enough for the AI the IQ system is using.

@Kirsten_Tanis1 @Nate_Tice “Defenses might be getting faster and putting more DBs on the field, running is one way to beat it [Sam Roush] but also continuing to threaten over the top [Zavian Thomas] is the other way to create space” (altered to add our 3d round pics)

[Nickolai Levin @NickolaiLevin]

@jacobinfante24 Steve smith said he can’t decelerate

[Nickolai Levin @NickolaiLevin]

@Chicago_NFL Not entirely accurate, I think. But the question is, why not Deion burks, Malik benson, if looking for speed, or Chris bell or Skyler bell

[Nickolai Levin @NickolaiLevin]

@jacobinfante24 Why not Deion burks?

I’m not surprised Poles/Ben went and got the best blocking TE in this draft.

13 personnel is a real trend & he is already running the 3rd highest rate of 12 personnel. Also ensures if Loveland or Kmet is injured/out for a game they can also still run all the 12 personnel plays & not have to cut back the playbook.

Durham Smythe was not the best blocker so Roush is an upgrade and a huge target that’s like bringing down a tank for defenders when he catches the ball.

Recall TE Darnell Washington of the Steelers & how hard he was to bring down this past season? Roush is almost 10 pounds heavier than he is. That could be advantageous on out routes to muscle for first downs with YAC, as an occasional option.

I’ll trust Ben here.

I also think this won’t be an unused 3rd round bust that Poles has had in past drafts.

I do share everyone’s frustration of not addressing DL yet & just missing out on Jacas. That was a blow.

Yet, I don’t think this is as out of left field as some do. I put him in some of my mocks at 89.

It was earlier than he was projected in the 3rd/early 4th, but Ben must feel really strongly about his unique skill set. And intelligence as a Stanford guy as well.

Plus several other teams were considering him, so if Ben felt there was a risk they’d lose him he wanted to get his guy.

@Kirsten_Tanis1 Great post. Fk the pats.

[Nickolai Levin @NickolaiLevin]

@ggabefootball @danfetes TJ Parker at 26 would have been a win. This is a win plus

[Nickolai Levin @NickolaiLevin]

@Tanner23062 @jacobinfante24 @PFSN365 He got lucky to get Lawrence at 57

[Chicago Bears @ChicagoBears]

Who wants a draft hat? 👀

Repost for the chance to win!

[Nickolai Levin @NickolaiLevin]

@_NickWhalen If Ioane is available, I think we take him

[Nickolai Levin @NickolaiLevin]

@thorku The weather seemed too warm for Wisconsin in April

[Nickolai Levin @NickolaiLevin]

@TommyK_NFLDraft I wouldn’t be surprised if we pick him or jadarian price at 25
