That was one hell of a game.

Sadly, no more NFL hype for a few months. I'm ready for pre-season games to see all the new guys!

[expletive] ACL injuries.

He was the top rated player for like 80 picks, everyone was passing on him. His value point fell right to where we picked. It was such an obvious pick for us it isn't even funny. It has nothing to do with Kiper. His 'value point' to third party 'experts' and the media was the 2nd round. Someone else, Sulley I think, pointed out that Massie is more of what we already have. Middle of the road filler. Teams aren't going to be able to tee off on Jay with the upgraded offense and different scheme like they have the last few years. It's like hiding a below average goalie behind excellent defensemen. Rodriguez is one more specialized tool to help take pressure off the o-line. Assuming he stops beating up coeds.

Right, and it's his call to make. If the guys succeed he's a hero and if they suck he won't be around long. I'm hoping he's right! Well that's simply wrong. First of all, it's about the likelihood that his picks will turn out a success. Secondly, even if he turns out to be a relatively poor GM, the Bears may very well hang on to him anyway. What's wrong about him being a hero if the players he drafts succeed? I guess it would just be luck since he went against Mel Kiper? He's already a terrible goat in most of your minds.

Yea. I'm so excited to watch this offense. Plus Bush. Bennett now as the #3 threat in defensive game planning. He could have a huge season playing against nickelbacks. Assuming Jeffery puts forth the effort.

With the addition of Marshall, Jeffery, and McClellin and with Jay coming back... I'm more excited for this coming Bears season than any in recent memory.

Pittsburgh just jumped in front of us.
-
So is Massie hurt or what?

They have 3 picks before the Bears, hell who knows... they could get all 3.

So apparently Purdue is really getting in on Caris Levert. The Purdue Rivals site interviewed his high school coach and he said Purdue has made it clear that there is an offer if he wants one. I guess he's a late bloomer. The fact that Michigan and Iowa are in on him is comforting if he does end up coming.
-
I dunno, I'm kinda hoping we can get that one guy to actually commit to cutting off one of his balls. yeah, but we'll need proof and who wants to confirm that mess?
-
I've seen Bears mock drafts with the following at #50 so far today: Zach Brown Alshon Jeffery Reuben Randle Janoris Jenkins Casey Hayward Mike Adams might be available, lots of other guys. We should get a good player at #50. Which means we will pick someone with less of a 'name' than the guys above and set everyone off again, haha.
-
Maybe if they have a player they think they really need. But I would say no, there are too many talented players left and there will be a bunch left in the third round too. Kiper has us taking Zach Brown from UNC at #50. Scouts Inc. has us taking Casey Hayward CB from Vanderbilt.

You're perhaps the most negative poster on this board. I'd venture to say that 95% of Bears fans are up in arms over this draft pick for various reasons. I'm an easily disturbed, jaded Chicago sports fan, big deal. 95%? It seems pretty mixed around here. I'm not ecstatic, but it's the first pick by our new GM. He's already acquired Marshall who we've wanted for years and has 6 more picks to make.

I'd be really pumped to get Hill tomorrow. No way he slips that far. Maybe we trade up?
-
haha

14th on Mayock's board, 19th per Scouts Inc, fastest 40 time amongst DE's... A consensus first round pick. Let's give the guy a chance.
-
left tackle from purdue I'm not sure if Kyle Adams will be back... gotta keep a Boilermaker on the roster!
-
Not that I've heard, but it's probably because he's still not signed, and its draft day. Some people would rather trade him than deal with a potential hold out. Ah, ok. I've got no problem trading him for the right return, I just hadn't heard anything about it actually being a legit possibility.
-
Multiple people here are talking about trading Forte today. Is this actually on the radar?
