Off-season 2023 Banjo

What I want to know is how did SF get THREE THIRD ROUND compensatory picks for something to do with diversity? What is that all about?

The 37 compensatory picks include five special selections that were awarded at the end of the third round to teams that have had a minority employee hired as a head coach or primary football executive by another club. Three of those picks were awarded to San Francisco. The special compensatory picks were instituted as an amendment to the 2020 Collective Bargaining Agreement in an effort to promote equal employment opportunities within NFL teams.

It's called having good coaches and coordinators (ex. DeMeco Ryans), something GB is iffy at lately.

(cough, Joe Barry, Maurice Drayton, cough)

FYI topic fritz. Sadley we can't have a sane discussion here. Step on over and ask again.

I just wanted to know how they got the three picks, and Joe answered the question. The picks seem kinda high, but so it goes. If that's how the NFL is going to go (no political stance, just an observation about Packer football), then maybe MLF and Guter should work on hiring more/better minority coaches and execs so they can get in on some of these third round picks. Oh wait - the Packers can't pick for shit in the third round. Never mind. Maybe they can get some slightly-above-average minority coaches and execs, and get some fourth rounders. I'm not talking politics, I'm talking about a way for Green Bay to get more draft picks here.

Different topic: Given that the Packers restructured Bakh and didn't add void years, I wonder if they're getting ready to suck it up and take the cap hits for all the players Gutes extended his credit card for - maybe go into sudden rebuild mode for two years, try to get out of the cap hole, and load up for Jordan Love Year Three As Starter, or maybe if he doesn't work out, just try to draft your next guy in the next two years?

panthers just traded up with the bears for the #1 pick

bears get

2-1sts (panthers have #9 overall)
2-seconds

and DJ moore

imo, very smart move by the bears

For sure. DJ Moore is a hell of a player. Wonder if he’s a head case cuz trading him is kinda weird.

they took a hell of a cap hit to get rim of him too

they must be going into full rebuild mode, get rid of everyone thats gonna cost them money the next few years

Good grief the Bears did well in that trade.

[MadScientist]

I hate it when the Bears do intelligent things. Hopefully they will return to form when they actually make the selections.

Guess that means the Panthers are out of the Aaron Rodgers Sweepstakes. You don't give up that much juice for the #1 overall unless you're drafting a QB. At least I don't think you do.

Making up for the Turdbisket trade which crippled them for years.

[Jaire]

Have these massive trade-ups ever worked? I can't think of an example..... I guess Justin Fields is still undetermined.

Carolina is on a fire sale. Also, something I haven't seen in a while: Houston vibes.

We don’t know what dj moore is like in the lockerroom. It’s a head scratcher to get rid of him. He put up really good numbers with bad quarterbacks. It wouldn’t surprise me if he has a 10k yard career. He lit it up from day 1.

[Fritz]

Did the old Bears' GM Ryan Pace get hired in Carolina? Smells like one of his moves, to mortgage your franchise for a top pick in the year there is no clear-cut, definitive, franchise-making QB.

[run pMc]

Frank Reich is the new HC, maybe he's got guys he wants and doesn't. There were some trade rumors last year when CMC got traded, but still surprised they'd deal DJ Moore. If you're drafting a QB you want to surround him with talent.
I sure hope the Bears find a way to mess it up lol

They didn't have a lot of talent on their roster, those picks (plus their cap space) sure will help change that. It does signal that they plan to go with Fields at QB.
