Belittle??? Is your fanbase really so sensitive that you see my comments as a personal attack. Wow. Sorry I ventured in.

I swear every Packer fan I've met in my life is also a Cubs fan.
Do the Brewers not exist for you guys? Why do they feel the need to be a Cubs fan and then trash the Bears?
I grew up in Eastern and Central Iowa. Who gives a **** about the Brewers. My first game at Wrigley was the week Elvis died. I could tell you the entire 84 roster. Why in the **** do you feel you have the right to question my fan hood?
I'm not questioning anything, I just know alot of people like you who are diehard Cubs fans but yet the Bears are beneath you.
We shouldn't worry about him. As a Packers fan, in a few years, he'll wake up in a rehab facility and not remember any of the time in his drunken stupor.
you are REALLY grasping for straws here, go watch any of his interview afterwards
He looks a bit emaciated.You can't expect a young person to handle every situation with the grace and humility of Packers fans.
You would think the Vikings would be able to find a game manager in round 7.
It's amazing they ever make the playoffs considering they forfeit their first pick every 4 years.

Just to point out…if I recall correctly, that initial first rounder cost a second next year to acquire in the first place. So Turner would have actually cost his own first, plus a second, third, fourth and fifth (the latter this year, again iirc).
I dunno. I’ve heard that Michigan QB’s who don’t do a lot in Ann Arbor can turn out okay as pros.
I admit, I would have preferred a shot at Maye, but that didn’t happen. And the main issue with McCarthy seems to be his lack of an elite arm, not his leadership.
Well, Fran Tarkenton and Tommy Kramer weren’t big cannon armed guys, either. I suspect we’ll be okay.
Mostly I’m relieved they didn’t overpay to get him. If he works out, he works out.
It’s the investment in Turner that seems like more pressure. But then, he seems to have a lot better chance to make it—and an even higher ceiling.
Looking ahead…it’s going to take some luck to get a contributor the rest of this draft. That fourth rounder looks lonely.
Risner is on speed dial, right?
The pick for Dallas Turner was originally #42. Which was traded to the Texans to get the #21 pick.
So add up all the picks traded for Turner were the cost to go to #17. From #42.
Drake Maye - 63% completion on 8.7 air yds/attempt
JJ McCarthy - 72% completion on 9.8 air yds/attempt
Penix - 65% completion on 9.2 air yds/attempt.
Also interesting in that the measurement of how much "zip" a QB has on the ball, which throw air time plus/minus avg per distance was first in the draft class. Where he got "dinged" was that his average distance throw was fairly low, though his average distance of completion was very good.
I think there are lot of people associating limitations to him that were a factor of team playing style and coaching. I think the lack of volume says a lot more about his team's needs than him.
I don't like Maye or Penix as prospects that much.
It was my understanding that there would be no math
Yeah, I didn't factor the Texans trade in. But even with the value difference in that, it only becomes an estimated high 3rd rounder.
Agree with Risner on speed dial and throw in Xavien Howard on that as well.
Vikes most likely will not be trading and take tonight off. What do they take in round 4 at #108– DT or G?
If you're lamenting the loss of the 4th and 5th round picks...a little consolation...
