I hate when Angelo trades high picks, and then he takes sacks of crap like Benson when he keeps one.

[Flames24Rulz]

The Pack took Greg Jennings out of WMU earlier - he's a great player, tore up Ball State for over 200 yards and 3 scores in the five-OT classic this year. Solid pick for them.

 

:D

 

I saw him in person at DeKalb this year...he had one pretty nice grab, but our D kinda put down the clamps on WMU's QB so couldn't see what Jennings really had.

 

Bears draft Devin Hester...I guess Angelo thinks you can't have enough KR's.

[Mark Priors Calves]

does this team have any input from anywhere about offensive players?

[Holy Cow]

wtf...another punt returner? Pope dropping almost saved this draft...

[srbin84]

Angelo's philosophy is to draft, sign and trade for all defensive and special teams players. He thinks that is how you win football games.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Claude Wroten continues to slide. Someone is going to steal a major talent by drafting him.

[Jon]

Awful.

I suppose it would be inappropriate for me to talk about how much I love our front office for making the safe smart pick and taking Richard Marshall.

[Butterscup1679666578]

This draft has me so confused...

[srbin84]

And the sad thing is, after watching our defense get torn a new one by Carolina, the DBs were probably "need picks" and we could probably use another one. Still, get a friggin' tight end. The Bears love short passes but always put some bum in at TE, and no, I don't care that Clark was a probowler last year.

Marshall would have been 5 times a better pick. But still, can we address the 29th best offense in the NFL at some point?

Pope is 6'8" Let's together imagine how amazing that would be on short yard situations/goal line plays....wow.

[Derwood]

Here I was thinking "oh, look, Leonard Pope actually fell to 57....that first pick wasn't a waste." then this. ](*,)

[Warpticon]

25 picks until the Dolphins draft again.

 

*sigh*

[Butterscup1679666578]

15 picks until the Bears get another shot at Pope..

I know, too good to be true. Now, a dose of reality.

No way he makes it through:

Jacksonville

Denver

Houston (twice)

Green Bay

St.Louis

Oakland

Buffalo

NYJ

Arizona

 

We're screwed.

Honestly, the Bears are inept. They are one ring above the Blackhawks as far as upper management goes. They consistently make terrible high draft choices, usually don't spend money in FA, and when they do, they overpay for past their prime guys like Muhammad.

 

TE has been a terrible need for years, their offense was ranked 29th last season, and they spend their first 2 picks on a return specialist and a safety.

I like the pick of Hestor. Obviously his return ability is redundant with Manning, but I have a feeling the Bears will use him as a scat back in the offense. Little dump off passes and let him fly. If their intent is to place him at CB, not sure if that was a good pick.

But really, this early? Especially when we need a TE? Horrible pick.

Was Moss on the board at 42? If you want a return man/scat back (ie, too cheap to sign Randel El), why not draft one that's actually good?

FWIW he was listed as a WR on NFL.com, so perhaps that's the rationale behind the pick.

Maurice Drew to Jacksonville. They loves them some Bruins.
