Disappointing.

Meh. Time to trade to 13-16 for a 2nd.

If LV takes Gonzalez, the Bears have their choice of Wilson or Carter.

Odd, mixed feelings towards that pick. Increases chances for Carter but eliminates a possibility earlier than expected.

AZ needs a DT as much as Detroit.

Here's the wild card in the Bears draft. Please Detroit take Christian Gonzalez.

Time to hope Levis falls to 9.

I can't imagine them trading Sweat when they declined a 5th year on Young. If there's a QB at 9, I wonder if Washington calls the Bears and asks for something like of swap of 16 for 9 and a 4th. If you're the Bears, do you take that risk?

The weight thing threw me off. I had seen him listed at 290 then 265. Wasn't sure if it was bad info on the 265. At 290 with that production, he's a legit candidate for the second rd picks. Of course, 265 without seeing him drops him like you said. Just so many damn holes on this team. I like the concept of trading up for D Wright (if they draft Carter) but at what cost such as not getting a DB like Brents or a WR like Downs in the 2nd.

Raw, talk me out of my growing affection for Tuipulotu. Him or Roy as the pass rush heavy 3 tech sounds good (Tui w/64 or Roy in the 4th)

Rich Hill. I believe they Jimmy Johnson might be more favorable.

To me, it becomes a question of need over value in regards to the lesser players on the list.

The picks 53 & 61 equal the value of the 31st pick.

With the 1st pick I'd go: Carter Wilson Johnson Jones Skoronski Van Ness N. Smith (who is rising on my list) 2-4th pick: D. Jones Schmitz Ojulari Adebawore Avila Uzomah White Mauch (as a G) Foskey Hall Bergeron Bunton Ika Dexter Brents Wypier

Can I be an old time member too? Thx

That only shows my age and not the quality (or lack thereof). Never insult the horny wagon. I'm too lazy right now to find the picture of the wagon.

Seeing my post total go down to 2675 makes me feel somewhat better about myself.

Shame on PFF for putting a subscription requirement after the 1st two rounds. I'll just use the less enjoyable nflmockdatabase. (My apologies for interrupting the merits of BPA)

WR is completely out of the question as far drafting BPA over need. There's no WR in the top 10 overall. When it was only Herbert, I would have supported Robinson given that I feel he's the 3rd best overall in the draft. I don't think I'd be as disappointed if it's someone like C. Gonzalez given I prefer him to either of the tackles overall (6 compared to 9) . However, the need is obviously greater at OT than CB. Ideally, Carter falls and they get the BPA and fill the greatest position of need.

He's a good LT but he's an elite/best in NFL RT. Based on...? When he was with Baltimore, his 1st 2 seasons he was a pro bowler at RT which could mask his lack of agility better than at LT. He was one of the best at RT which suits his strengths better than LT.

He's a good LT but he's an elite/best in NFL RT.

I'm not an Orlando Brown fan. He wants to be paid top LT money, and he's not a top 5 LT. He's also not a good fit to move around in the outside zone run game. That being said, the Bears are desperate to A) improve the pass blocking and B) spend a bunch of money. And Brown checks both those boxes. I'm thinking. Orlando Brown- LT/RT A'Shawn Robinson- 1-tech Samson Ebukam- Edge And if Ekeler is available, go get him. Trade one of the 2nds for him + a future pick no higher than a 3rd/4th. The Bears still could use an additional weapon and he caught 107 passes last year, and they can afford to pay him with the top RBs in the league. Maybe add a CB. Maybe add a TE2. Draft Jalen Carter at 9. Draft a DE in the 2nd. That gives you a DL of: Ebukam, Carter, A'Shawn, Walker on run downs Ebukam, Walker, Carter, Draft pick (Ojulari?, I'd like a smaller pass rush specialist type) on passing downs. Mix in Justin Jones, Dominique Robinson and Gipson. OL is: Brown, Davis, C (Patrick or 2nd rounder), Jenkins, Jones Ekeler and Herbert in the backfield. Brown will be a good LT paid great LT money, I agree they will need to overpay him. I know Tunsil might be a FA next year as well as the LTs being much better in next year's draft but I don't think Fields can survive much more of this before long-term effects start showing more. Sign Brown-LT Rankins-3T Robinson-1T Key-DE pass rusher Draft Robinson -HB (unless Carter is there) 1st Best interior lineman available. 2nd DE- 2nd DB -2nd OL- Brown Davis Avila-TCU Jenkins Jones/Borom Robinson/Herbert HBs D DL Walker Rankins Robinson Hall-Auburn DBs-Brants KSU

I do think one of the more underrated aspects of the signings from yesterday is the coverage abilities of Edwards and Edmunds. They're two of the best coverage LBs in football. Add one more piece to the secondary and that back 7-8 become really good in coverage. Football evaluations are still leaning towards how pass coverage is still underrated in terms of getting to the QB compared to pass rushers. You can have the 85' Bears D-Line but if guys can get open in 3 steps, it doesn't matter much.

Ideal signings for the remainder... Orlando Brown-LT Sheldon Rankins -DT 3 technique A'Shawn Robinson -DT 1 technique Draft focuses on DE, CB, Interior line, HB.

So far too they're set at QB, WR, and LB. With lesser improvements needed at backup TE and CB. I'm assuming Whitehair will be cut. I hope OT and DT are next up.
