2014 Chicago Bears Offseason Thread

Ferguson is solid. Fine with that.

[Guest]

I'm fine with Ferguson but would have preferred Nix (if he didn't go to San Diego).

[jersey cubs fan]

Oh boy

[Guest]

so...Kony?

 

With Hiuston, Young, and Allen, I really hope we address something else.

Houston is looking like our 3 tech at this point, FWIW

 

Nope, he'll switch between the 3 and 5 techs.

Turd ferguson

SD jumped us to take Amaro? Figured Nix was going there. Shocked we had shot at Nix, but if we like Ferguson more, so be it.

Bummer when need is so great it forces reaches, like the old o line picks.

5/5/14: The speedy and athletic Ferguson was impressive in 2013, especially early in the season. He recorded 58 tackles with 3.5 tackles for a loss and a sack. Ferguson can be disruptive at the point of attack and use his speed to cause a lot of havoc behind the line of scrimmage. The redshirt junior started out hot, but cooled off. He had seven tackles against Alabama.

 

Ferguson decided to enter the 2014 NFL Draft, but would have had a better shot at the first round by returning to school. Sources have told WalterFootball.com that Ferguson received a second-round grade.

 

Ferguson was a backup in 2012 and totaled 14 tackles. He was a backup as redshirt freshman backup in 2011, too, notching 13 tackles.

 

Personal: Majoring in sports administration. Son of Ego and Brenda Ferguson.

I got an amber alert on my phone when that happened.

[Banedon]

So he's an Ego Jr?

Kiper and the other guy on ESPN do not like the pick

[cubbyvirus00]

Hyde should have been the pick IMO

 

 

Oh well.

[davell]

Kiper and McShay hate it. 4th round grade from them.

[gscool89]

lol this is seriously the first pick the guys on ESPN have hated. Of course.

 

This is the problem with Phil Emery. He gets so stuck on certain players to the point where if guys like Nix drops, he won't take them.

Obviously the knee is also a question with Nix.

[Butterscup1679666578]

dude is talented, that's for sure. I can't get too upset at that pick.

[jersey cubs fan]

Ego Jr. or the third?

CBS peeps had him later, not a 4th though.

A junior with only one year starting?

Emery clearly loved Nix because they met him quite a bit. There's a reason Nix is available at 51 (his knee).

 

Don't judge a draft on what Kiper and McShay say. Otherwise, you'd think Brady Quinn was the steal of whatever draft he was in.

Not a shock, LSU has sent a few DTs the the past few years (Brockers in 2012, Logan in 2013 and also Anthony Johnson will get drafted this year).

Yea I'm not worried about Kiper McShay rankings. Does seem like they could have dropped down but there hasn't been much action here so if there's nothing there you can't help it.
