Jenkins has played left tackle before and in his interview has been practicing LT and OC during the off season. I think he may very well could be put there especially if they draft another OT. He could be a special player, may be able to play anywhere.

I always thought Goodwin always played the slot but after he came here was checking him out and the majority of his reps have been outside. Has great vertical speed but not good with short area quickness. Something slot guys usually have for traits. Him, Mooney and even Robinson has played the slot .

I totally see Cohen playing 80% of snaps as a slot WR if he doesn't find us a slot WR. We have D. Williams now who is a good player.

He did all of this with the idea of a WR he liked that might be available later. He will get us one some how. Mooney was a 5th round pick, Wims was a 7th.

We need to keep in mind 2 oline players last year were UDFAs. If the draft gets away from us, we still can find players. Barr and Mustipher are nice oline pieces. Also in assessing the Jenkins pick, he brings an attitude of kreutz and Long of which this oline is missing. If we have to gain a yard, I know who they will be running over. He will solidify our oline for yrs to come. No more guessing at RT going forward.

Pace may have gambled at the right part of the draft. There was a run on OTs after that.

Maybe they try Miller one more time but his fight at the end of the year may have showed him the door. Actually Mooney and Goodwin play outside and Miller was the slot WR. Also don't forget, I suspect Cohen could be the slot WR going forward.

We have like 10 CBs on the roster. I think the law of averages, one of them will step up and play well with Johnson. I think Shelly or Vidor has the NB spot filled. Tre Robinson had high hopes until an injury took him out of last year. If healthy trufant can play well. The defense will be just fine, bring in offensive players.

They don't have a clue on what's going on with the bears. They look at the roster and see a UDFA is starting at OC and figure it's a need. Is Mustipher better than average? We don't know but Kreutz and Tom Thayer likes him so I'm going with their opinions.

Don't forget trading Anthony Miller is still in play, maybe Miller and the 5th to go up in the 4th? One thing is for sure, Pace will always surprise us.

I hate giving away draft picks but I can't argue with the 2 players we have. When it's over we can be optimistic about who we have or complain that we gave up draft picks. I prefer to make myself happy since we won't know how this draft turns out for a couple of years.

In 3 yrs your question will be answered . He will find away to grab a WR that will compete. That will make this draft an overwhelming success.

I don't like giving away draft picks but getting 2 of the top 20 players in the draft is a good score. Potential franchise QB and potential all pro RT. This draft will be looked backed on as one of Paces best drafts.

What do you base that on? Hard to say how someone develops but nothing says either of them are going to fail by their careers so far. Two things I like about Fields is his work ethic and love of football. Some players just play for the money, he legitimately loves the game. Plays hurt and was the person responsible for getting the Big 10 to actually play this year. 4.4 speed doesn't hurt either.

As much as I would give our whole draft to see that happen, it ain't happening. If he cries to much, they will just give him more money to shut up.

In this order; Jenkins Cosmi Radutz Eichenberg Christensen Forsythe Little Carmen I would say Cosmi-Radutz- Eichenberg ( one of them ) should be there. Otherwise in the third Christensen- Forsythe- Little.

I hated the idea of trading up for a QB but , at 11, being able to keep 2nd and 3rd round pick will still fill some needs to make the team better. Fields is the second best QB in this draft and to be able to get him at 11 with only giving away one first round pick and a 5, 4 next year i is great. This could be our franchise QB. After reading about him, I love the pick. He was responsible for getting the big 10 to play football this year. He is a hard worker and loves the game. Him and Lawrence were the top 2 ranked players coming out of high school that .year. production?? 67 TDs- 9 interceptions. 19 on the ground with 4.4 speed. After all these years this could be the one.

Where the problem comes in , they all are treated the same, they don't know which ones will succeed or fail.

Here's what I want to happen. 1) Trevan Jenkins OT 2) Kellen Mond QB 3) Amari Rodgers WR 5) Stone Forsythe LT 5) TRADE 2X 6S. Zach McPherson CB 6) Paris Ford SS 6) Cris Rumph OLB

The rest sounds good but don't think they're moving up that high (4). Other teams will be trying to move there to and have more power. I think , probably will move up in late first or early 2nd to grab Mond , it will cost less, the second rounder , 5th rounder, and a future 2nd, we can still get a OT, and WR with the first and third. They will push offense in this draft. They will trade 2 6s to move up in 5 to grab a CB.

Parcels was known for running the ball and playing great defense. I don't remember him as the QB whisperer. No matter how you frame it, QB is the hardest position to evaluate. I think the best strategy is take one every year and hope you get lucky. People like Lance because of his measurements, he hasn't proven himself yet which means he should be a 2nd or 3rd round developing QB but the position value won't allow that. I personally don't care which one they take as long as they don't give up draft capital to get one.

Pace seems to miss on first round picks and hits in the middle rounds. I think as long as he stops trading draft capital away, he will build a good team. Would rather take a risk on a Mills or Mond draft pick than trade away picks to get a higher QB prospect. History tells us on how most high QB picks miss. How many people thought Wilson, Prescott, or even Cousins was going to fail because they weren't first round picks.

I think other than NE, who gets rid of players before they get big contracts, it is diminishing returns once they pay a QB big money. As players get older and replace them, it starts to fall off going forward. NO did it with screwed up cap but never got back to big dance. The window is now for KC and they will attack until they run out of money. Drafting is the key to stay relevant and trading draft picks for big contracts will catch up with them.

First of all, he was a pro bowl RT and will switching to LT with probably a new expensive contract. Remember a few yrs ago, Rick Wagner got paid by Detroit and ended up getting cut then went to Pack. These kind of deals have a 50% fail rate. Would rather moved up and taken rookie deal instead of this risk. Also I don't expect Kyle Long to finish yr at his age , their revamped line may not be as good as they think it is. Pace would have taken those picks for our spot.
