The Bears offseason

[cubbyvirus00]

Getting nervous Pace doesn't know wtf he's doing. Leaving some great talent on the board...

Wtf Pace

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Clearly Pace and Fox etc weren't impressed by Reed thus the trade. But they better pick someone next at least.

...a guard....

Day 1

 

Cody Whitehair, Kansas State

He could definitely still be a starting tackle in the NFL, but Whitehair’s skill set profiles so well to guard that it makes sense for him to switch. He’s easily the most technically sound guard prospect in this class with patience well beyond his years. Whitehair was our highest-graded tackle in all over college football last year with dominant run blocking in a varied scheme. Any guard-needy team should feel comfortable taking him in the later half of round one.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Well that's odd

[WrigleyField 22]

I like it. Great value.

[Tryptamine]

Well I guess that confirms that GB stole our guy.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

A guard really? You could have had Vonn Bell and or Connor Cook and that's what you picked?

[minnesotacubsfan]

So I guess long can play rt?

Fantastic run-blocking guards are like a dime a dozen in the NFL, you can grab them off the scrap heap at any time.

I like that pick

[minnesotacubsfan]

I like that he grades high as a Tackle

i think you slept through the offseason or something

[David]

interior play is more important than tackles

Bears get an A for the Cody Whitehair pick: http://buff.ly/1TkmVP9 "It’s not flashy, but this is one of the best picks in the draft."

I'm in Seattle, I'm wayyy out of touch

[UMFan83]

You guys need to relax. Pace knows what he's doing. I promise you.

[David]

at least we didn't take a kicker in the 2nd round

[minnesotacubsfan]

at least we didn't take a kicker in the 2nd round

 

Yea but who's gonna punt our 3 & outs????

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

at least we didn't take a kicker in the 2nd round

 

Just came here to say the same thing.

Get it, Whitehair!!!

[UK]

So far....

 

I would have drafted Tunsil in the 1st and Bell in the 2nd.

[cubbyvirus00]

I just put my head back together and I agree that this was a good value. Taking a Guard high is still icky to me but he appears to have been a first round talent.

 

Definitely need some DBs though
