Fitting since the NFL and Pizza Hut were both much better 20 years ago.

My POV is that my taste buds and taste in entertainment have significantly evolved in the last 20 years - those two products have probably minimally diminished during that time i.e. i'm not the target audience for either of them and both of us are happy about that.

So the Browns used a 2nd last year on Kizer, and now a 3rd on Tyrod.

I don’t get it.

Literally a second after my post, Kizer traded to Green Bay in a very interesting trade of recent high draft picks (Randall and Kizer) and pick swaps in 4th and 5th (which is probably of more value to GB).

Don't forget the third they used on a QB in 2016 (Cody Kessler)
And they still could (should) use a 1st this year on a QB. Taylor, who has only one year left on his deal, looks very much like a stopgap.

Interesting trade. Thought Randall had a bit more untapped potential, but I get it. When you take into consideration that we'd have spent a mid round pick on a QB, it makes sense. Plus, Kizer was someone we were rumored to be interested in last year. He'll at minimum be serviceable.

And Packers will have the first pick of day 3 again, which they seem to enjoy

Yep.

Allan Robinson is being reported to be signing with Da Bears.  3/$42

Case Keenum to Denver.

Extremely happy about Robinson - wanted him since he got hurt last year. Definitely risky but has shown true #1 upside and the Bears obviously and desperately needed receiver help.

Having your two top receivers coming off ACL injuries is a little concerning though.

No doubt about it but they're both young so that allieves a little of my concern.

I'm also thrilled we didn't end up with Landry and I'm also hopefully this means no Ridley in the 1st. I do think they add one more WR somewhere.

I'd like to see them bring back Inman as well, assuming they can get him for a reasonable deal. Anything you can get out of White at this point is a bonus so hopefully they're not still counting on him to be a main contributor.

Robinson, Meredith, Inman and a young slot WR* wouldn't blow people away but they'd at least be a legit NFL receiving corp.


* - Albert Wilson was believed to be a top target due to his ties with Nagy but rumor is that he'll sign in Miami.

Good deal for the Bears - would have loved to have him with GB, though probably not at that price. Tells me the Packers got a pretty good deal on Adams.

I'd actually really like the Packers to go after Meredith now, espec since he has the low tender.

This is a real eat at Arby's moment for me. Robison is my favorite Penn State player since Daryl Clark, dude is just filthy good and super guy. Happy I'll get to see him play more but really really really hate him on the Bears. Now I'll only despise the Bears with 99.99% of my soul.

I'd definitely be happy with Inman back as well.  I don't mind missing on Wilson if he's getting $8 million a year to play the slot.  I'd be fine with Wright back in that spot, actually.   

Sounds like they may add another weapon at TE.

Bears making moves, agreement supposedly in place with Trey Burton. They're giving me hope which is not good. The only thing is it makes the Shaheen pick look like even more of a waste than it already was.

Like the Burton addition a lot as well.  Very versatile player.  Sims will now be released to save cap $. 

Too early to give up on Shaheen.

Shaheen will be fine. Moving from Ashland to the NFL is a huge step up so you can't expect too much from him as a rookie. Besides, there's nothing wrong with having 2 quality TEs, especially with a young QB. The Bears tried to do it last season with Miller and Sims but Sims did nothing and Miller's knee exploded.

I prefer AR off the ACL as opposed to Watkins and his constant state of disrepair.

Don't the citizens of Illinois hate him enough?
