ESPN Mock has 6 DL (4 Edge, 2 DT) going before the Bears pick

I wouldn't complain about Jacas and Hecht in the 2nd, though.

5 so far

[Soul]

Looks like there’s a run on EDGE.  Might have to make a move if they want one.

Note to NFL: maybe choose pick readers who can actually, you know, read

Is Poles getting burned the way he did last year with RB?

Trade down please

[Soul]

That was a trade up specifically to take Jacas because they knew the Bears would take him.  Poles got played.

[jersey cubs fan]

Patriots trade a ****** center to bears then draft guy they should have wanted 

[Derwood]

And still no DL, FML

[Outshined_One]

I'm cool with that.

[We Got The Whole 9]

I think we are going to like this pick

Yeah, once jacas was gone, I think it's the right pivot

[Old Style]

I’m good with the pick. Need to go edge or DT next. Probably edge. You can find some space eaters in the 3rd round. 

[Bertz]

Yeah that checks out

 

[minnesotacubsfan]

Top C in the draft, but taking in rd 2(?)

 

edge, plz

[Thurman Merman]

Hell yeah trade down

[Outshined_One]

Center also tends to be hard to grade from an outsider perspective, so I won't get worked up about him having a third round grade or whatever. He's got the goods and comes from a school that tends to produce quality offensive linemen, so I'm not going to bitch about the Bears reaching or picking the wrong Center.

[Old Style]

Moved down 9 spots and picked up a 4th.

Won the award for best C in college football last year.

Great trade!

[Rcal10]

Good trade. Terrible pick at 57.
