Let the NFL Draft Festivities Begin!

[Derwood]

49ers draft Michael Robinson, QB from Penn St. He was announced as a RB however and is listed on ESPN's draftcast as a WR.

 

he's all things to all people

[Flames24Rulz]

Brad Smith goes to the Jets.

[RationalSoxFan]

Great coverage continues from ESPN...

[USSoccer]

So will anyone take Marcus Vick? :P

[Flames24Rulz]

Green Bay has drafted 2 wideouts so far...Cory Rodgers from TCU, mainly for his returning ability and Will Blackmon from Boston College.

[USSoccer]

And the Bears shore up the 29th ranked offense in the NFL by taking a OLB

Didn't need a TE or anything. ](*,)

I'm showing him as an inside LB, at 6'2", 250. I'd rather the Bears pick another RB over an ILB.

[cubweiser03]

SI says he will be a good nickel LB. Fast and has some good cover skills. Hunter will have some competition. Im not crazy about hunter.

[Jon]

Woo. There goes Cofield. Congrats.

 

Hate the Giants, though.

 

And Angelo is bad.

[rawaction]

I guess he is an OLB. But there are better on the board.

[Chocolate Milk]

I don't really get it. However, you can't really question Jerry's ability to pick high quality defensive players.

 

I'd like to see some OL help today.

[Andy]

I don't know who Nate Salley is but he's a FS from O$U and Carolina selected him in the 4th round.

[jjgman21]

late comer to the thread, and I don't know alot about the football draft, but isn't this the second year in a row the Bears used a high draft pick to get somebody that was not on anybody's board?

 

and if I'm not mistaken, don't they have a probowl CB, have another CB who had a couple bad games last year, but overall is a quality player, and just signed another top notch CB (potential legal troubles noted). why on earth draft a CB with your two top picks?

 

and I'm right there with you on the TE situation Hawkcub. wtf?

[cubweiser03]

Isnt Dusty the sooner who passed out after pumping up the team in a pregame huddle? that was sweet.

 

Why did the lions draft Calhoun. Millen is a turd.

[Jon]

Mark Anderson, DE out of Alabama.

 

Let's just not do anything on offense the rest of the draft.

[Flames24Rulz]

Jerry Angelo is doing his best to try to lose his job in a weekend.

[cubweiser03]

I think defense is getting pretty locked down.

SI had him projected late 2nd rounder.

[jaydee]

k lets get some offensive guys now jerry, thanks

[Transmogrified Tiger]

PSU guys, what do you make of Zemaitis? TB nabbed him in the 4th round.

[Magnetic Curses]

angelo drafting as if no offensive player on the board at the time of each pick has been good enough to even sniff cracking his rotation of the 11 current starters he so smugly claims is under contract for the next half-century.

 

i don't think we're drafting under the assumption that any of these picks will make the team--the 22 starters we have under contract for the next half-century are good enough.

 

we could have gotten devin hester and manning even if we had used our pick on lewis at 26. what an absolute joke of a draft--by the far the worst 4 rounds i can remember as a bears fan in the history of the franchise.

like I said earlier, same thing with Bradley last year.

 

Hey Jerr, the point of finding diamonds in the rough is that you get them in the later rounds. how about some second round talent with those second round picks.

[USSoccer]

I simply cannot believe that the Bears didn't address a single offensive need in either FA or the draft. Griese is a backup. They needed a WR, a TE, and some OL depth, and they got none of these things.

 

Again, it's as if Angelo assumed the offense from the playoff game was the norm last season, and the defense was what was killing us all season.

[Andy]

Bucs pick Bruce Gradkowski, Steelers got Omar Jacobs, a mini-run on MAC QBs.

[Jon]

Hey, an offensive player...but he's a fullback...

 

J.D. Runnels from Oklahoma.
