    da man, that wasn't this Browns organization. This is the expansion team that has only made the playoffs once.

    I agree with QY about Boogie's hope the Steelers would trade up to get Adams. That was fanboy fantasy talk. It has been a long time since they traded up in the first round, and never that high. The last time was 2005, when they moved up to No. 25 get Santonio Holmes. Before that it was 2003, when they moved up to 16 to get Troy Polmalu.

    I'm well aware of that. Just being snarky.

    I figured. I just like reminding people this isn't the same organization.

    I was kidding. I know the Steelers' proclivities all too well.

    The year they failed to move up for Revis removed all doubt for me.

    hell, they passed on freaking Marino, another Pitt product, in '83 to grab the inimitable Gabe Rivera

    QYFW, I'm coming around to Adams and it sounds like you are as well. Secondary is the biggest need this team has.

    I was iffy about it. But he really impressed me in the aforementioned interview. I'm not sure how his cover skills will translate, but watching his highlight tape, the kid is a missile. A thumper on the back end of that defense would be nice. And as you know, safety has been a dumpster fire for the Bears since Mike Brown's heyday.

    Pittsburgh's batting average in the 1980s was no bueno. Woodson and Lipps are the exceptions. Worley was a big miss at No. 7.

    Holy shit stat of the day: Only THREE of the Bears' last 23 first-round picks made the Pro Bowl.

    They really don't get enough credit for being a shitty franchise.
