It's hilarious the narrative shift on Bears twitter from a  year ago. Ryan Pace was a genius who made a brilliant trade to get Trubisky and then suckered the Raiders into giving up Khalil Mack. No he got fleeced by rookie GM John Lynch in the Trubisky trade and mortgaged the future with Mack at the expense of real talent. Also Nagy/Helfrich went from dominant football minds for the next decade to Nagy should probably also follow Helfrich out the door. The mob is fickle. 

This news may benefit GB. We might actually have a top ILB available to us in the 30โ€™s. His injury may propel some players ahead of him. We can grab a WR in R2 where the values are better. This guy is going to be a stud ILB in the NFL.

Great NFL players can obviously come from any school... but yea, I'd be scouting the hell out of the SEC and Clemson every damn year. 

O$U as well. 35 guys drafted from 2016-19 including 12 first round picks. The list includes multiple superstar level guys - both Bosas, Michael Thomas, Marshon Lattimore. 

Very similar numbers to Alabama. 40 guys drafted from 2016-19 with 12 first round picks.

Just say no to players coming off injuries that require 6 months to recover....especially in the first round

I'd consider Tua if he fell to 30-32. No way he does, but letting a guy like that rehab for 1-2 years and then grooming him to replace Rodgers in 3-4 years could set them up to transition the same way they did from Favre to Rodgers. 

Why would any team ever take an Alabama QB? Name 1 that has even been moderately successful since Namath.....

Tua was a completely different QB than any other recent Bama QB. He's a prototypical pocket passer.

Come on... what a silly argument.  

Using that terminology, you'd never take Patrick Mahomes out of Texas Tech, or Peyton Manning out of Tennessee, or Russell Wilson out of Wisconsin, etc.  

All signs point to Tua being an excellent NFL prospect.  If he falls to GB at 32, you take him without question.

This brings up an interesting point. What school has generated the most HOF QBs in the last two decades? Almost all of the are from different schools. 

This is a list of HOFers and potential HOF QBs that have played since 2000. 

The current guys that are likely to be HOFers are Brady (Michigan), Brees (Purdue), Rodgers (Cal), Mahomes (Texas Tech), Wilson (NC State/Wisconsin), and Big Ben (Miami, Ohio). The maybes are Philip Rivers (NC State), Matt Ryan (Boston College), Cam Newton (Auburn),  and Eli Manning (Ole Miss). 

Recent guys (last 15 years) are P. Manning (Tennessee), Favre (Southern Miss), and Kurt Warner (Northern Iowa).

Not much of a pattern from that group of 13 and NC State is the only one that appears twice.

I get that, but heโ€™s a guy who, if healthy, would probably have been a top 20 pick. Depends on the nature of the injury, but getting a really good value on a player that will heal is a dream scenario for a team picking in the 30โ€™s. Hard to pass up if everything checks out.

I don't care what their record is, I think OSU is the Minnesota vikings of college football.

Except that OSU has 8 national titles including two this century.
