Draft Projection: Late-second to early-third round

 

No one reliable thought he'd even be there for the Bears second round pick. This is silly.

 

Yes, the pick is a reach. No need to use hyperbole or link to Bleacher Report.

Based on that and his comments after the pick, it sounds like he thought Long was BPA.

[Wilson A2000]

Any chance Emery could be fired this offseason if the Bears miss the playoffs? Baffling bad first round picks. You cannot be a solid team year in and out if you wet the bed with your first round picks. This was Angelo's problem. Hub was completely baffled. He literally just sat in dumbfounded silence.

I wonder how much input Aaron Kromer had on this pick. I trust him quite a bit.

Gotta get the guy that everyone graded mid second round pick at 20 right? Can't pass that up.

[DiamondMind]

Your argument is really "it's a bit of a reach, yea"? That's what you're taking to the court case?

[DiamondMind]

This is a quote from our first pick last year. How eerily similar......

 

"The Bears shocked the NFL world with this pick."

[Wilson A2000]

Even Kyle Long didn't grade himself as high as Emery did. Laughable.

[jersey cubs fan]

Freaking have to rely on cutler to save his gm from himself this year. Going to be a travesty if emery is the one back in 2014 and not jay.

[Wilson A2000]

This draft had really good value right where the Bears were at. And Emery still managed to royally screw it up.

[cubbyvirus00]

Emery's got 2 yearsmax

[Wilson A2000]

Emery's got 2 yearsmax

 

From now or from when he started?

[Guest]

so... Bushrod, Long, Garza, Carimi/Slauson, Webb/Carimi?

[WrigleyField 22]

Any chance Slauson can learn center and be effective? That would make me feel better.

 

Anyways, I'm not sure Carimi makes the roster now.

Slauson's starting at LG, I'd imagine. No way he's coming to Chicago to compete.

 

Hopefully Long can win the job at RG (or RT).

[DiamondMind]

Rams and Vikings big winners, to me.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Vikings cleaned up. Who needs the other picks when you get 3 great value picks in the 1st?

[Soul]

I doubt he'll be the starter in year 1.

at least te'o would have been a starter

[GammonsPocketTweets]

One of the worst picks/reaches I have witnessed. This is just baffling. Why is Phil taking guys that would have been there a whole round later?

May tomorrow be a better day.

it won't mean a thing with christian ponder at qb.

True.

At least there were two worse ones tonight alone.

[scarey]

So, everyone is up in arms based on where the regular talking heads had Long rated, correct?

 

We just watched guys like Star Lotulelei, Sharrif Floyd, Bjoern Werner, Cordarelle Patterson, and Geno Smith fall WAAAAAAY down from where these guys were projected to go. Meanwhile, guys like Lane Johnson, DJ Hayden, Eric Reid, and DeAndre Hopkins went way sooner than anticipated.

 

I'm not going to sit here and tell you that these guys are wrong. They're relatively accurate with their prognostications. However, to act like it a wasted pick because he wasn't the guys everyone was talking about is a little out of line.

 

Also, for everyone talking about how Long was a mid second round pick... Kiper mocked him at number 30 to Atlanta yesterday.

 

I'm not saying you should praise Emery. I just think it's a little early to be asking who the next GM is, even if it is hyperbole. Let's see how Long does before condemning the pick.
