@PSchrags Other than Trapilo (credit to them), the Bears '24 picks who contributed were either taken where they were expected (Loveland, Monangai) or were relative values (Burden). It's not like Ruben Hyppolite was doing much for the Bears' Cinderella run last season.
@Verysimpleidea@hawkblogger@ItsIanDee Spytek literally told everyone months ago he was taking Mendoza. And to be clear, he didn't have to do that and plenty of GMs with the #1 overall have played it close to the vest until draft day.
@Verysimpleidea@hawkblogger@ItsIanDee You're acting like nobody else works in the building and they aren't constantly giving clips to media on and off the record. Why would any media outlet bother to cover a team if no one's talking?
@Verysimpleidea@hawkblogger@ItsIanDee Every reporter mock draft switched to Bailey to the Jets in the week leading up to the draft at practically the same time. You're telling me nobody in that building leaked?
@Verysimpleidea@hawkblogger A lot of big boards are assembled by reporters asking team officials who they like, who they think will be there at that spot, etc. That's why practically every plugged in media type had the Jets taking Bailey in their final mock drafts. And consensus boards are used by teams!
@dabearsblog So then why do the deal for Raymond if this was the plan? Why take Thomas Rd 3 when he was projected to go UDFA? You Poles apologists can never get your stories straight.
@CEmma670 So then why were all 3 picks tonight reaches vs. the consensus board? Do they bother modeling what other teams might do and make moves accordingly or do they just pick from a list of guys they like?
@SimonMitK The main thing is how difficult/inaccessible it is. There are plenty of 60 carders who would never touch a draft no matter the inducement. Not so the other way around.
@jacobinfante24 Poles simply cannot evaluate the position well. Austin Booker is the only one who still stands a chance at being a hit & I have zero confidence in Shemar Turner. Both the Grady & Dayo contracts were bad at the time & aged terribly.
This is shaping up as the most consistent finding in housing studies: Building lots of luxury housing can reduce rents at the top of the market—but the people it helps most are renters struggling to afford even the least desirable units
