I agree with this. In terms of locker room BS, he may have been a distraction, but there is no denying he is elite. Having him in the roster drastically alters how the Bears draft, or trade during the draft. Maybe if they have a vet WR like BM it gives them more reason the push for Mariota? On second thought, I'm glad they dumped him.

Ditto. I'm surprised he didn't get picked in the 6th or 7th. He looks Like a player based on size/shape.

Impossible to know the results, but on face value this is the best draft in quite some time. Fill needs? Check (for the most part...only six picks) Draft BPA related to needs? Check No big reaches? Check No stupid small school picks? Check No injury history guys? Check I don't know how any Bear fan can be truly disappointed with this draft. Even if someone would have preferred different players, it turned out very well. Even Langford, the lone head scratcher, possesses home-run spped at tailback, something the Bears haven't had for quite some time. Between him and White, this team may have an explosive aspect to it in the near future. Bravo Pace!

Damn shame. Could have been a steal for us. UNREAL value where they got him.

The Bengals had a MONSTER draft. Stupendous. Book end Tackles. Starting TE. Tackling machine ILB. Versatile CB. Rangy, great value FS. Wow.

I like that a LOT. Enough of GMs who think they're smarter than everyone. It's like the stock market - you can't beat the market, so don't try. Better to simply play safe/moderate and diversify.

I'm not. I've been saying for a while that there were a ton of bodies on the DL and LB they need to figure out. You can't draft hole fillers unless you know where the holes are.

I get you, but it's like you're ignoring the fact that the Bears have drafted poorly for quite some time, and they have the least home-grown talent in the NFL. These things, despite the handful of guys still on roster, is why it's great to see a GM who appears to pick closely to what we say on the board. We already know picking counter doesn't work very well, Because the Bears haven't been good.

There goes my Pace man-love. Stupid pick. Forte, Carey, Langford, Quiz. So that means either Carey is wasted before potential is known, or the Quiz signing was completely pointless.

Dude had to get fired to REALIZE OL is important. Jamies Winston followed by OT and OG. And that's on top of the OT AND OG he drafted last year. Seriously, that guy can kiss my ass square on the butthole.

I do not want RB in any shape or form. We still don't know what Carey can do and there are other holes to fill before 2nd, potentially 3rd, string RB.

AMEN. Put a great OL and DL on a team and you can have lesser talent at various other spots (i. e. Trent Dilfer).

Feels like real good value at FS is there. Maybe would last until the next pick? The 4th round could be our first surprise. I would like to see Clemmings or IEO.

Should we make a list of horrible picks in the last 10-15 years, or is the mere suggestion sufficient enough to prove the point? I mean, how many times does someone need to post an article where the GM succeeds via draft pick is analyzed, and the Bears are at the bottom? Or the ones where they throw in how many home grown players the Bears have vs other teams?

Your list is very odd. You threw in several guys who have not performed or have done little.

I'm joking. I like the Goldman pick (rather have had Phillips) as our future NT.

We should have picked Fisher in the second for a Oregon Duck OL. They could have run half of the flying-V.

For years and years we have watched the draft and said to ourselves, "WTF is that pick? Why aren't they factoring in need? Who the hell is that and where did he play? Why are they trying to show how cute or smart they are? Just make smart freaking picks!!!" Is this FINALLY the GM who picks how we more or less agree? Sorry guys, but based on the horrible drafts of the past, I still don't think they were competent in their jobs, regardless of how much inside info they had. If they were that good, and that above the average person, much less the die-hard like this board, then they would have had much better success. This is especially true for JA - dartboard selection could have worked better than JA picks. We would have done better over the years. But maybe, just maybe, Pace is the guy who turns it all around? Maybe he is the guy who has multiple solid drafts and proves his knowledge/ability? Based on the first three rounds, I'm a believer.

Damn. Really? That's stupid.

If La'el Collins slips to the Bears at 4 and they pick him, send the paramedics to my house.

Haha!! That's what I put originally!! LOL

I'm ecstatic about this pick. He's awesome. He'll be a starter for years. Great leader. Great second level guy.

A Favorite draft pick this year!

Get him in the fourth!! MONEY!!

freak YEAH!!
