Well said. Pretty spot on.

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.

Didn't care. Don't care. He was a huge value at #9. Doesn't matter now though, because the Dolphins picked him.

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.

Big reach by the Giants.

What was I saying some time ago? http://www.talkbears.com/forums/index.php?...st&p=156167 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.

Leonard Floyd. I think he would have been there at 11. I'm disappointed with the trade.

HOLY SHIT. A TRADE! TUNSIL!! TUNSIL!! TUNSIL!! TUNSIL!! TUNSIL!!

PLEASE TUNSIL. PLEASE TUNSIL. PLEASE TUNSIL. PLEASE TUNSIL. PLEASE TUNSIL. PLEASE TUNSIL. PLEASE TUNSIL. PLEASE TUNSIL. PLEASE TUNSIL. PLEASE TUNSIL. PLEASE TUNSIL. :pray :pray :pray

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.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS! Now that absolutely guarantees one of the studs fall.

I'm guessing Tunsil too.

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.

YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. HAHAHAHA. PERFECT. Someone is guaranteed to fall now.

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.

If that's the case, I sure hope it's Lawson.

I have said this many times. I think VHIII is very likely.

Unfortunately, all GMs talk in GM-speak and generalities. The key word to all of his info is the word "close". We don't know what he considers close.

That's kind of my point. Just about every GM misses at roughly 50%. So hinging your 1st rounder on a potential miss is not as good a strategy when you don't need that position. That's my whole point. If you're going to take that same chance, it may as well be on a position of need. Saying, "Yeah, I think this guy is the different one though" is not good enough because it doesn't overcome the proven odds of the draft. Polian's probably as sure as they come, maybe the best (Newsome?), but he's still around .500. I guess I'm just more into the percentages of it all since the truly great guys can't be predicted.

1. Underrated? Scooby Wright. I don't care how he tested. Dude can play football. 2. Overrated? Eli Apple. He's way overrated. He's grabby and doesn't see the ball. 3. Favorite day 3? Jayron Kearse. I've been a fan of his for a while. All he really lacks is the mental game. 4. 1st/2nd falls to 3rd? I'll go crazy and say Nkemdiche. Maybe the GMs are scared off by his lack of production. 5. Surprise 1st? Connor Cook. Every year QBs are way overvalued. 6. Bold Bears prediction? The Bears go for a TE early. 7. Don't want in 1st? Ezekiel Elliott. My thoughts on this are known. The Bears need several other positions much more, and Elliott is not that much better than other prospects. 8. Right choice? Ronnie Stanley or Vernon Hargreaves III. Honestly, I don't know WTF will happen tomorrow night. I can see a scenario when Stanley falls. Otherwise, VGIII is the most likely answer. 9. Probable choice? Shaq Lawson.

I'm really hoping it's a huge smoke-screen. Leno was not good enough last year to be a guy who gets specific, singled-out, rave reviews.

Do you believe they want to move Long to LT after the fairly pedestrian effort - despite the popularity/pro bowl - last year? I think they know he's a monster at G and they are going to maximize his potential.

Agreed. Way too much $$.

So a whole three picks? And one was Peyton Freaking Manning? That's a great sample size.

You asked a question. I answered it. Polian's rating? I honestly don't know what his hit/miss percentages were, but he's generally thought of as one of the best in the business. Of course, it helps when you have one of the best QBs of all time for a decade. So I took a quick look at his drafts with Indy...he's below 50% overall, and just barely above 50% on his 1st rounders. He just happened to be on fire his first 7 years, absolutely killing it 6 out of 7 years. His 1st rounders (bold is a hit, italic is questionable): 98-Manning 99-Edge 00-Rob Morris 01-Reggie Wayne 02-Dwight Freeney 03-Dallas Clark 04-Bob Sanders 05-Marlin Jackson 06-Joseph Addai 07-Anthony Gonzalez 08-Mike Pollak 09-Donald Brown 10-Jerry Hughes 11-Anthony Costanzo
