The Beachwood Radio Sports Hour #198: Ryan Pace Still Sucks

By Jim Coffman and Steve Rhodes

He got the Bears' first-round pick right Thursday night, but he only filled a hole of his own making. Plus: The Cubs Are Cohering; The White Sox Aren't Worth Watching Yet Like We Thought They'd Be: and Men In Red Over Red Bulls.

SHOW NOTES

* 198.

* Putting the troll in comptroller.

* Rascals and scoundrels.

* Michael Madigan's Magic Machine.

5:15: Draft Daze.

* Coffman: The One Guy Ryan Pace Better Not Take In The First Round Of Tonight's NFL Draft.

* Saints Willing To Mortgage Future For Marcus Davenport.

* Packers Big Winner Of Round One.

* 49ers' McGlinchey Pick Draws Mixed Reviews.

* Rosenthal: Ryan Pace Is Worst GM In NFL.

* Rick Spielman's Winning Draft Philosophy.

* Roquan Smith.

Just finished face-to-face with Roquan Smith, can't tell you how impressive he is. But . . . not a negative, just a fact, he's even smaller than I thought. Unless I'm 5-11, I'm NOT, he is barely over 6 feet and if he's 236 I'd love to know how he's hiding 15 or 20 Lb.'s of it.

#Bears botched this badly but not because they didn't match. It's because they have a fundamental misunderstanding of RFA & tendering process. And now lose a talented young WR with no compensation. https://t.co/VsUwDE9Prb

My man @evansilva earned himself all you can drink & eat during Sharp Football Beach Week 2018 with this absurdly prophetic take on the Patriots at #31 on his pod with @JoshNorris. Insane work... but that's not all... pic.twitter.com/rL0AyJWVkM

* How Matt Nagy Schooled The Patriots:

"Head coach Andy Reid's and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy's creative play design and blend of West Coast and spread concepts were tailor-made for the kind of personnel the Chiefs now have, but especially Alex Smith.

"The Chiefs attacked the Patriots with a variety of formations and options. There was lots of motion pre-snap. There was read-option. There was run-pass option. There were jet sweeps and fake jet sweeps. There was pistol. There was play-action. There were plenty of crossing routes.

"Rookie running back Kareem Hunt did a little bit of everything. Dynamic wideout Tyreek Hill lined up pretty much everywhere, including the backfield. Smith - who threw for more than 300 yards for just the seventh time in his 13-year career - deftly controlled all of it."

50:06: Cubs Cohering.

* Rhodes: Cubs clicking but still herky-jerky.

* Coffman: It's coming. They're cohering.

* Anti-sentimentalist who hates Cutesy Cubbie Stuff Coffman: Wrigley ruined. The place is ridiculous.

* "The Harry Caray Death Cult is still going strong."

* Albert Almora's latest web gem.

* Kris Bryant Out Again On Friday.

* "Keep sending him up!"
