I agree with the bolded. I didn't want OLB because I think Young, Houston, and McPhee do very well this year if they're healthy. Both Houston and Young were injured last year, and if not for those injuries they likely both get 10 sacks.
I don't like the fact that WRs went Fuller, Doctson, and Treadwell, because the Vikings just got the best of the three. That dude is a monster, and he could be the new Megatron of the NFC North.
I think there is going to be a huge run on DE pretty soon. Robinson, Bullard, Calhoun, Spence, Billings, Butler, Reed.
At this point I could see Nkemdiche slipping. If he's there, I hope the Bears jump on him in the first 5 seconds.
So now the Bears have the following at OLB:
Floyd
Young
Houston
McPhee
Who gets traded? Both Young and McPhee came on hard last year, and McPhee was obviously the best of the bunch. They can't have a four-man rotation. It wouldn't maximize playing time for a first round pick like Floyd.
SMC
4.63 forty
31.5 vert
118 broad
Floyd
4.6 forty
39.5 vert
127 broad
WAAAAY more explosion.
Also, Floyd didn't rack up his stats against scrub teams in a secondary conference.
Pretty much how I feel about it. I think trading up for Tunsil was the homerun pick. No way he should have been there at 9. No freaking way.
But if Floyd ends up being a stand up triple, I'll be OK with it.
What was I saying some time ago?

I don't think it's the right choice, but they were searching for Von Miller. The trade up was unnecessary. The trade up made sense for a guy like Tunsil who shouldn't have been there at 9. NO way. All that said, I think it works for the Bears. He's explosive.
Yes. Yes. Yes. I don't care about character issues as much as most. Also, that's pretty common among college kids today. Last but not least, YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS. I never imagined he'd be there at 11. That's insanity. He was thought of as the #1 OT but the video released this late is crazy.
I was thinking about who else was available.
1. Goff
2. Wentz
3. Bosa
4. Elliott
That leaves Ramsey, Stanley, Tunsil, Buckner, Hargreaves, Jack. It could happen, but I don't think it will. I think one of those guys fall.
That's a hit and miss for me. I like the trade down and the first two picks. I also like Hogan later on. I really hope the Bears don't use an early pick on a RB, and I don't particularly like Sean Davis as a CB prospect...he's not good in coverage.
