Why don't ESPN have a post draft segment and match the actual draft against the final mock drafts 😂

[@F-CKDANSNYDER]

Would love to see that and a segment comparing all the mock 1.0s

[@michaelf.bender3718]

That would be interesting.

[@jettlife3560]

They would never show their misses 😂. N they do like 5 mock drafts still b wrong

[@beezy109]

They would lose all there jobs

[@yahcrack]

Mel Kiper would be out of a job.

[@Hammerdmnky28]

Louis Riddick will never let go of the Bears trading Fields. Every chance he gets he tries to minimize how good they are going to be.. get over it dude Chicago already did!

[@christopherharris3229]

Notice how Riddick is always a "top candidate" for a GM job yet he is still on ESPN spouting marginal opinions.

[@visual_sanctum]

100%. He didn't become as bullish about Daniels until after Fields was traded. Remember, he was a 'keep Fields and trade for a haul' guy. Once he got dealt, the narrative in his mind shifted towards Daniels being a better quarterback than Caleb.

[@Hammerdmnky28]

@@visual_sanctum absolutely agree. He also says Jayden Daniel’s pocket presence is the best in this class and Caleb’s ability to scramble is going to get him hurt. Daniels left the pocket whenever he got a chance while having the elite wrs to throw to… make it make sense lol

[@yahcrack]

He’s a QB apologist. He still wants Sam Howell, Kenny Pickett, Justin Fields and Mac Jones to be on their teams and be starting QB’s.

[@topsykretts2264]

Right. Even Mitch had a better career with the Bears than Fields 😂😂😂

[@bensmith2058]

Riddick is such a Bears hater. JJ McCarthy likely wouldn’t even start in Minnesota and he thinks he’ll have a better rookie season than Caleb 😂

[@nathanabdallah492]

It’s unfortunate to see cuz he used to be a bears supporter back in 2018

[@shawnvogt888]

Greenberg says, "I don't understand." Exactly right, you don't. First thing that you've said in quite awhile that I've agreed with.

[@anthonyortiz7128]

[@philthyrich007]

Except Washington

[@Boobydouglas]

U think penix is gonna be bad???

[@rhdtv2002]

If Penix didn’t have history of injuries the would likely be the number 2 pick and maybe even 1

[@Davo2times]

Louis hates the Bears. still salty he didn’t get the GM job years ago.

[@tanksherman9875]

How can Latu go from medically retired at Washington to playing fine at UCLA? Those extremes don’t add up. It’s not like the U of Washington doesn’t have access to world class doctors and medical equipment. Something it’s adding up. Either Latu was misdiagnosed, or he’s neck is literally one play away from snapping and he’s just risking it for the money.

[@coreyparks6786]

I think it was Bill Tobin has me crying lmaoooo

[@AndreB10265]

Louis you are nuts if you think Daniels is a better prospect than Williams! Daniels had Nabors and Thomas Jr. Caleb had a bad O line a bad defense and no receivers that will go in the top 2 rounds.

Vikings isn't a bad argument for better situation, but our defense is miles ahead of theirs and Keenan Allen as a 2nd WR is miles ahead of Addison as 2nd WR.

[@jorgeserrano5143]

Just say you don’t watch the Bears because they’re not miles ahead.

[@BaconBitZ2007]

Your defense being miles ahead is a wild take. Bears finished the season playing at a top 5 level on defense

[@GoatedAtNFS]

The NFL draft should happen a month after the season ends, and the combine should be the week after. The amount of speculation and double takes and overthinking people do especially GMs is ridiculous 1 Caleb Williams 2 Jayden Daniels 3 Drake Maye 4 Bo Nix 5 Michael Penix 6 JJ McCarthy 7 Spencer Rattler 8 Michael Pratt 9 Jordan Travis 10 Austin Reed

I love that we got Keenan Allen. Best thing we could have done for Caleb. Very qb friendly.

[@DystopianUtopia8]

He gets hurt a lot

[@wpl8275]

They have a lot of picks but they could get more. It’s about having options. If we stay here who do we pick. If we trade down who do we pick. Vikings are likely moving up. Raiders might as well. Due diligence requires you to look at all options.

[@BoomorBust]

Dallas Turner the best defender? That tells you how bad this class is on defense.

[@Benjamin-fc9ww]

“Boogers Best” must be this episode’s exclusive segment lol

[@skullcruncher7218]

They need to stop saying Young going too the Carolina Panthers was a good situation. It was not and this season proved that.

[@jackgreco2864]

Tf is booger talking about comparing Bryce young Carolina situation to Minnesota???

[@GeorgesOpinion]

Mel will never let that Baltimore Colts losing John Elway go 😅 he’s still in pain😩

[@glizzorobinson1227]

I feel like them nfc north defenses will tear JJ up fr. And Daniel’s I see getting hurt because he loves to run. We seen fields take hits that would’ve injured others, AR in Indy was getting pummeled too

[@ddm62571]

Riddick It's so sour with the Bears. Him ripping on Shane Waldron is unjustified. The oc that took Geno Smith who was pretty much a bust and gave him an mvp caliber year.

[@CoherentTakes]

Louis Riddick just be talking when it comes to the Bears at this point JJ McCarthy has no chance of having a better season than Caleb Williams barring injury

[@deadmezero8742]

I find it interesting they sayin dont let the players dictate where they go but were pushing caleb to move away from the bears 😂

[@httr94]

This whole segment is ridiculous. This is the first I'm hearing of Daniels wanting to go to Vegas.

[@kylehairston4514]

Obviously it’s possible they take 2 guys like RG3 and Kirk Cousins

[@josephrusso5588]

[@normangladden6184]

Penix will be the best qb as a rookie if he plays watch and see

[@Snowboarder16]

[@raven-19x]

It's a wonder why Riddick never got hired back into a front office.

[@jackhicks8935]

Comment section MUCH better than segment. 😊

[@therealbenjamin789]

The reason washington has all 4 QBs in attendance is the same reason Adam Peaters picked Brock Purdy last. They don't care about who can do what they care about the guy in the locker room and will build around him

[@Im_On_Pluto]

If Caleb Williams ends up not working out I want everyone saying he’s gonna elite to retire from watching football period

[@justinbeynon7980]

Needless to say, the NFC North will be a bloodbath this upcoming season. Every divisional game will be competitive. The lowly Bears last year whipped Detroit once and should have beaten them a second time around. Green Bay is ascending and should have been in the conference championship. With LeFluer at the helm, they will always be ready for Sunday. I can't predict this division. Goff, for me, doesn't have that killer instinct. We will see.

[@sunny7773]

Last year NOBODY WOULD HAVE EVER GUESSED THE TEXANS would move up the way they did. ANYTHING can happen in the draft, all these mocks are just to for entertainment and busy work.
