TE was never on my shopping list after signing Graham and the other guy. However, I like Kmet. Great breakdown.

That's what softened my stance. Not Hub, the picks.

I'm softening my stance. I don't hate Kmet, just disappointed we didn't get an OT. Jaylon Johnson is a stud. Love the Colts draft...

Hate it

Josh Jones is the only one they would trade up for. You would think... But, please keep our picks Pace!

I'm hoping for multiple options at our picks, so Pace can perform minor trade downs. So much talent left in our need box.

My guy Reagor went early. Damn

Not sure. Maybe Reich promised to give him time to heal. Who really knows.

I like him in the 3rd.

I get it. When I traded back there were 4 first round graded receivers left. Low and behold the three I wanted most went bang bang bang, lol.(not to mention OT) Shenault is probably the most talented of all the receivers, so getting him in the second was worth the risk.

They can cut him and they are out nothing. Reich knows him and wants to kick the tires.

I could live with this draft.

Good! According to an article in Bear Goggles, the Bears save a bunch of money if he signs. I'll try to find and attach. Chicago Bears: 5 Potential landing spots for Trey Burton and why it matters

I completely hate this line of thought and I usually agree with you. We should draft an OT high in this draft regardless of any money or performance argument. I don't care if the new OT doesn't start. That means Leno and Massie stepped up. If they don't step up, I don't want a late round development project coming in to be our hero. That's the mindset that got us Leno in the first place. He does not have the talent to make up for a bad day.(a high quality pick does) In addition, we need to build for a future without our current duds.

Right on. Starting caliber corners are never a bargain. Safeties are a dime a dozen. You never have enough good CB, EDGE and OL.

That's livable.

Did a couple of drafts off of this and in conjunction with the other thread you did with trade scenarios. I remember liking options 1 and 2 respectively. With that our first 6 picks are 47, 57, 104, 119, 163, and 196. I stayed within slots on each pick. The first pick is from Consensus, the second is from Evaluator. If only one pick, they both agreed. 47 Michel Pittman WR 57 Ezra Cleveland OT, Kyle Dugger SS 104 Brycen Hopkins TE, Amik Robertson CB 119 Darnay Holmes CB, Alex Highsmith EDGE 163 Trevis Gipson EDGE, Trey Adams OT 196 David Woodward LB

I don't care if Pace thinks this is his last stand. You draft for the future, not the present. I'm very concerned with his history of falling in love with a player and moving up to get him, let alone trading back. We truly need to trade back. No franchise can survive with drafting for the now.

OT and WR for me. The draft is deep in those positions, so you have to take advantage. The rookie OT starts. The rookie WR is good for 30 snaps a game.

That was the same issue with Cutler. OL and him waiting too long to throw got him killed. It's a shared blame, great QB's find a way. Sometimes the situation kills a QB. That's why I rate Manning ahead of Brady. Brady came into a Superbowl caliber team that won despite his deficiencies. Manning came into a one win team and went 3-13 on his first year while leading the league in interceptions. The following year 13-3 with a team on his back.

At first I said no, but how about Cohen and Shaheen for Howard?

He has smooth speed.

Looking at 43 and 50 respectively, I would love option 1, then option 2. Getting two 3rd rounders while keeping two 2nds would be fantastic. I love it when you do this stuff. My only fear is that we risk missing out on one of those 1st round graded WR's.

If the Bears were truly concerned they couldn't full that void, KPL would still be here. Certain positions that we keep taking about aren't hard to fill. (OG, ILB, S and RB) Those positions are always affordable on the free agent market. And they generally don't get drafted high, unless they are special.
