@Bears_ASU@NicholasMoreano As such his chances of being a long term starter(4 yrs or better) are around 70%. 2nd rounders average around 40%. So drafting a DL in the first round that has a 2nd rounndd grade is terrible risk reward.
In the first round you always take the surer thing
@Bears_ASU@NicholasMoreano Look he played over 800 snaps "in the box" during his college career. He is certainly more a center fielder type but Allen uses his safeties interchangeably making him a terrific scheme. He was a consensus first rounder.
@Bears_ASU Supply data to back up your opinion. Otherwise thats what it is, an opinion. Another opinion is that smaller safeties are able to better evade injurious contact
@DarrylConrad Pass rush will be better due to continued Booker development. Outside run D will be better due to more speed and better play recognition at safety and LB. Interior run D will probably still be ass
@IrishBearsShow Aggressive. When they were at 25 there was lots of 2nd round DLine talent to choose from but no sure things. But at 57 it will be the leftovers. Try to move up if possible.
@Bears_ASU@NicholasMoreano Your notion of positional value is adorable but off base. Good Safeties usually will be picked in the second round because they are limited to either free or playing in the box. Safeties that are elite at both spots are rare and will go in the first round.
@startkyIeorton My knowledge Bear history from 65 to about 88 was near encyclopedic but has faded with age. And didn't follow so intently after that as i completely missed Tobin leaving cuz Wanny got personnel control. Thanks for that tidbit
@startkyIeorton As i remember it, his agent came in with an ask that Finks thought was ridiculous
And said something along the lines of, "get the f*** out of my office". He was signed shortly thereafter
@startkyIeorton Yeah I know that it came from McMahon but i trust the reporting of the beat writers at the time more than some ghost writers rendition.
@startkyIeorton And the new Mike Tomczak that arrived in Bourbonnais for training camp would have to have waited 13 years for the team to arrive since they didn't begin training at olivet until 2001
@startkyIeorton resigning just before the start of the 1983 season. In fact, the excellent 1983 draft was his responsibility although he did leave Bill Tobin in charge after the 4th round
@DarrylConrad@UMPunk_101 While i agree he's just another guy but at least He's a guy whose run defense grade ranked 46th out of 120 or so interior DL compared to Dexter, Jarrett, Billings and now Gallimore all ranked 90th or worse
