well it looks like in 3 games for da bears, claypool has caught 5 passes or like 31 yards.
looks like he's still doing the same thing where he falls backwards while attempting catches and failing while at it
Formerly known as Fire Goodell
man can you imagine if hines ward had claypools body ? defenses would have been terrified.
Claypool hasn't had a training camp with the bears and he's with a first run QB, so yes I like the trade for the steelers but I'll wait until at least next year before making a final judgment at Claypool
I honestly though he’d have an immediate impact. I’ve not been able too see many snaps, but what I have seen makes no sense. Bears are using Claypool short like Steelers did. With Fields arm, Claypool and whatever his name is should just be running go routes and posts all day.
2 rec for 51 yards for Claypool in the first quarter right now.....
Some are saying it’s pick 33.
Others say, pick 34.
Either way…
btw: on his long reception… he fell down.
So the best part of Claypool trade is that Pickens gets more work. Also... I didn't look up the draft slots...but Pittman was/is what Claypool was intended to be.
I‘m not 100% sure on this because I didn’t bother to double check, but weren’t Claypool and Pickens both the 11th WR picked in their drafts? Or something like that? At the time I thought Claypool was a steal and might have become the best receiver from that draft (I was obviously wrong about that. It’s probably Jefferson). But now I’m pretty sure that Pickens was a much bigger steal and does have a good chance of ultimately becoming the best WR from his draft.
Unlike Claypool, Pickens knows how to get the most out of his body to play that position. He’s the physical receiver we’ve really wanted, and I love that he’s a willing blocker. I think he likes violent contact. Last time we had a receiver with that kind of mentality it worked out well.
In the 5 games since he was traded, he has 12 receptions (on 22 targets) for 111 yards and 0 TDs.
The second round pick the Steelers got for him is looking better and better.
Canada can't involve our best players at the same time
This draft pick will very likely be in the top 35 at worst!
It is certainly looking good. All of the Bears' WR's are out with injuries. Fields is basically playing offense by himself.
It's hard to imagine them winning many more games. Multiple picks high in the draft really gives the team a lot of options. They can stand pat, or they can choose to trade down and acquire more draft picks. Draft day will be very exciting.
