Are we getting Black Monday II? No, but we got a Black QB!!!

[minnesotacubsfan]

I kind of felt like Fields was sitting there, knowing he has played very well, and just watched himself drop out of the top 10 after being considered a possible 1 not long ago. I don't think he was mad at the bears, but I think he may go scorched earth on 1-10 in the draft order when he does start.

 

I'm totally ok if he doesn't project total charisma

[Derwood]

Ohio State protects their players from the media, esp. for such a big program.

[raw]

Best available for Bears needs/fit:

 

WR

Tylan Wallace - polished WR prospect, more mature version of Anthony Miller who's a step faster, probably not around at 151

Amon-Ra St Brown - reminds me of Juju (same college), can play any WR position

Ihmir Smith-Marsette- not super productive at Iowa (no one ever is), fast, athletic, lots of upside

Jaelon Darden - small, skinny dude (5'7, 170), didn't time super fast, but can fly and make guys miss albeit at small school level

Shi Smith - small slot WR who can run and get open, suffered from poor QB play, not very strong

Marquez Stevenson - similar to Darden, but taller, more straight line fast than shifty

Josh Imatorbhebhe- 6'2, 210 freak athlete with like a 46" high jump, very raw as a WR

Tamorrion Terry- 6'4" deep threat WR, who disappointed at the mess of a program at FSU

Trevon Grimes- also 6'4, timed much faster than I expected, not a great route runner, but jump ball deep threat

Dazz Newsome - slot WR and return specialist, decent at everything, no standout traits

 

CB

Thomas Graham Jr - big fan, outside CB who is not a great athlete, but did well at Senior Bowl, opted out 2020

Kary Vincent Jr- speedy nickel CB, who may be able to start outside at 5'10.

Shaun Wade- former 1st round prospect, who struggled outside in 2020 after being a stud in the slot, could move to safety

Robert Rochell- small school CB, with a lot of ball production (10 INT, 25 PBU), technique needs work, high upside IMO

Olaijah Griffin - honestly didn't watch him much, but moved up draft boards late; his dad is rapper, Warren G

Zech McPherson - same as Griffin except his dad didn't make the #1 song of 1994

Avery Williams - slot CB size, with great ST value on coverage teams and as a return man

Rodarius Williams - good size CB with 31 career PBUs, OLDER brother of Browns Greedy Williams

 

Others

Daviyon Nixon, DL - knew I was higher on him (top 20) than most, but day 3 is ridiculous value

Trey Smith, OG - also higher on him than most, he's really good but had a heart issue a couple years back which is why he's on the board

Bobby Brown III, DL - 20-year old with nice athletic profile and upside

Brevin Jordan, TE - not as athletic as I thought, but good after catch, if they wanted to cut Graham he could step right in

Stone Forsythe, OT - 6'8" good athlete, very raw but lot of upside

[raw]

Oh I forgot about D'Ante Smith, who's a small, athletic LT prospect who did well at the Senior Bowl

 

Also, if you're looking for Pace to after a small school freak, watch for Zach Davidson from Central Missouri State. He's a 6'7" TE who doubles as a punter!

Any thoughts on why he slipped? High level DE types don't usually fall like this unless there are medical or character issues, but I haven't seen anything to suggest either is the case here.

Give him Bob Parsons’ number.

[Soul]

I think Jenkins was one of the most predicted picks for the Bears at #20 across all the mocks.

 

It sucks giving up all these picks but it’s very clear what the Bears’ priority is, and it’s the right priority.

[BigbadB]

Love what Pace has done so far. He also plugged enough holes in FA to make it where I feel he could go best available the rest of the way if he wanted. I'm guessing he will go WR with the 5th rounder and follow through with trading Miller, which will make me sad. I'd like to see what Dalton or Fields could do with Miller, Mooney and Robinson all on the field at the same time.

 

With Gipson back, safety is not a glaring need. The entire defense is getting older, but there are some kids who could battle with Trufant for the starting job opposite Johnson, so it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they didn't find a CB that could step right in. Trading the 3rd rounder probably took away that opportunity anyway.

[minnesotacubsfan]

idk, maybe they will keep Miller around to see what he can do with Fields. at least for one season anyway.

If they can get a pick I don't mind it, but I definitely wouldn't cut him.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Bears take OT Larry Borom from Missouri

Strange give other perceived needs but you can never have enough olinemen

[WrigleyField 22]

Sounds like he could be viewed as a G too. Pace hasn't had luck with any day 3 OL, other than I guess Mustipher as a UDFA. So this probably doesn't speak highly of the two guys from last year.

 

The scouting report does sound somewhat interesting. Perhaps a guy Castillo can coach up. Just a question if they have to burn a roster spot or if hell need to sneak through on the PS.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Really thought we'd go CB

 

Tweet going around that this dude played 44 snaps vs Alabama and allowed 0 hurries, pressures, or hits to the QB. So that's cool.

[UMFan83]

Are the Bears the first team to not take a single pick from their designated position?

 

1-20 was traded to Giants

2-20 was traded to Panthers

3-20 was traded to Panthers

4-20 was traded to Vikings

5-20 was traded to Giants

6-20 was traded to Panthers

7-20 was traded to Raiders

[Brian]

traded back in the 6th and now have a 7th

 

3 6's and 1 7 left

[UMFan83]

Bears take a... RB?

 

Khalil Herbert from Virginia Tech

 

Guess we are in BPA mode

And a project sounding WR. Dazz Newsome, North Carolina.

 

Both sound like projects and both have return potential.

[Old Style]

Now we picked up a CB from Oregon. One pick left. DLine?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Pace got high grades for Herbert, Newsome, and Graham.

 

Herbert looks like a flat out playmaker.

[cbbryan]

If this night ends in Justin Fields as a Bear and Aaron Rodgers not a Packer, I will post a full frontal nude on Facebook and tag my entire family.

 

 

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

I ordered my Fields jersey last night!

[raw]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this draft. Fields and Jenkins are obviously no brainers. But I love most of the day 3 picks too. I think all will make the team, and can see all of them contributing by 2022 if not sooner.

 

Herbert- I don't really love the pick of a RB at all. Thought the depth chart was good enough, but got a talent player.

 

Thomas Graham, what more can I say? Named him one of "My Guys" on Twitter. Also a top 100 talent per PFF

 

 

Tonga (and Graham) here in November with me naming them to my all "favorite" prospect defense

 

 

Got some Dazz stuff too

 

 

 

Not sure on the Herbert pick based on need and what was on the board. But also never watched Borom, so dont really know what to think there. Hoping for the best.

[cbbryan]

I was hoping the Bears would bring Josh Imatorbhebhe in after the draft, but it looks like Jacksonville already got him.

 

The Bears have signed 5-6 guys already though.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Gettin Justin Fields made the draft for 2 reasons:

 

1) he is the most talented QB in the draft IMO. I never dreamed we would have a chance to draft him with our lack of draft capital

 

2) it showed, that despite the Trubisky/Mahomes embarrassment and the Wilson non-trade slap-in-the-face, McCaskeys jumped right back into the fire. They had to, but it gives me a more pos view of ownership
