His commitment came into question behind the scenes during his rookie year due to lack of playbook study, poor meeting behavior and frequent injuries.” He's not reporting to voluntary workouts either and Dabol may have had enough.
Toney is a weird cat. He really does seem to care more about rapping then football. He had one good game last year and he threw a punch during it. He was yet another Gettleman choice that is a gift that keeps on giving.
I'm back from picking up dinner. Bears pick (now OTC) is up for trade. I'll wait about 15-20 minutes while I double check my own board and figure out who I plan to take.
Da Bears have another pick coming up nine picks from now and will be open to trading down. (This is what I understand their real GM would do. It's not just me this time.)
Mixed feelings on Raimann. Part of me says he's overrated at LT and is going to struggle for a year or two at the NFL level. Plus side - and the reason for grabbing him for Chicago - is that he's a quick learner who could be a day one starter at guard (which is the Bears need that I'm filling with this pick) and then move over to tackle later, after he's had some experience.
He definitely scares me as well. I get the appeal in that the level of play he’s shown at his current experience level is super impressive, but my worry is that as his development begins to slow where will his end product level be? His final form is a complete mystery to me.
RicoL8 is already here, and I PMed Willie and Tim to let them know their picks might be coming up sooner than any of us would have expected.
Kinda like the fit in Seattle. He’s a very interesting prospect. Some say he can’t cover. I’m not convinced that is true. They asked him to blitz lots at Wisconsin. Can sure take on a block though.
