I don't know if this was before, OR after the Pro Day yesterday...or if this guy has real info. But Rice said he has met with them.

Check this out. Good stuff. He is growing on me.

I was pleased Parsons went at 12 because I thought Dallas might take Slater and I really wanted a LT, but I have to admit I didnt know how good Parsons would be at the draft. He was projected as a LB, allbeit a very good one, but then when he got to Dallas they turned him into a freak pass rusher on the edge.

I didn’t want Parsons - I thought Parsons was too small to hold up at Edge/OLB - i was sure wrong there lol. None of us are right about every player, a modicum of humility would wear well on all of us.

I was right on Herbie though

I like Rice as a Rd 4-ish option if they don’t pop the big cork for a WR in Rd1 or 2. I was surprised his 40 time wasnt better, he plays faster. Just like dad, i guess?

Yeah, he looks quick on the highlights I have seen. He doesn't seem to mind blocking which is good.

Today is the big one.

Brenden Rice is a bigger, faster version of Jerry Rice!

He was a pass rusher as well in college, then they moved him to LB his last season. Parsons himself said he was a better pass rusher. He and Slater were my top guys that year. If Slater gone, hoped Parsons was there.

Chicago has pick #75(Caleb Williams connection). Why would they pass up on him if he's still on the board at #75? So, if you don't want him at #69 then he's gone before the 4th round.

he looks faster on game tape than 4.51. he's very good at getting open, a valuable skill

If yer looking for a fast CB, Fresno State's Carlton Johnson ran a 4.28 40 at his pro day:

I'm never one to think teams will pick a WR just because they have the QB he played with - teams decide on WRs based on all WRs available and what they want for a WR.

That said, I think he's good and undervalued in this draft that has so many good WRs. He might be as high as 2nd round in some lean years. I don't know CHI's overall team needs and draft board to know if they would take him at 75 or not, just no idea. They did just add Slayer and Everett, what are their other critical team needs? But you might be right he's a R3 pick vs R4. ??? wtf do I know.
