Absolutely, but things like this go unreported more than they go to trial. The fact that it made it to a grand jury is pretty serious. There was enough for them to pursue an indictment, so that tells me something.

Interesting story. Without hard evidence (witness, DNA, video, etc), those are hard to prove, especially when most people are in a drunken stupor. Also, the victim has to endure a lot and just like in this case, decided not to testify. So that tells me "something" happened. I would say the oddest part would be not to disclose something like that to ANY of his employers, especially one like the NFL with so much media attention. I know a lot of major companies ask (since they may already know with a background check) just to see if you will answer truthfully.

If he can catch, he might stick, but all our RB's will need to be able to catch out of the backfield.

AZ, good analysis, I didn't see more than 1-2 starters in any of those drafts. Where we had at least 3. I would take our top 3 picks over each of the NFC North's First Rounders every time: Option Bears - Smith, Daniels, Miller Option Loss - Ragnow, Alexander, Hughes

A lot of picks to like, obviously Smith is a great pick, but for some reason the Miller pick is sticking with me. The more I read about the kid, I am sold and think he will turn out to be a long-time starter for the franchise.

Kylie Fitts, Edge, from Utah. If he can stay healthy, he should be able to contribute. 11.5 sacks and 14 TFL in only 22 games.

So Equanimeous St. Brown, WR or Parry Nickerson, CB?

IMO I would rather throw darts at CB or Edge compared to ILB and DT. Hopefully Pace autocorrects and goes Duke Ejiofor, DE, Wake Forest or Jeff Holland, DE, Auburn in the 6th.

And we select Joel Iyiegbuniwe, LB, Western Kentucky. Will be interesting to see where they play him.

There still are some decent players left, at least for our 4th rounder. In the 5th, go for projects, depth, special teams, and maybe a new Punter.

Madlith you crazy....kidding. Honestly, this is how we expected Pace to draft all along. Pick the best player available at a position of need. He seems to be doing that compared to previous drafts where there was a perceived "reach" or unnecessary trade. He doesn't seem to be trying to outsmart the other GM's and find the diamond in the rough. Just pick the best football player. I have to think Nagy has something to do with this. Either that or Fox had a hand in previous drafts.

Best available going into today, would really like to grab an Edge/DE/OLB type with a few available: Maurice Hurst, DT, Michigan Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, OLB/DE, Oklahoma Marcell Ateman, WR, Oklahoma State Tyrell Crosby, OT, Oregon Holton Hill, CB, Texas Josh Sweat, DE, Florida State Tim Settle, DT, Virginia Tech Bradley Bozeman, C, Alabama Deontay Burnett, WR, USC Greg Stroman, CB, Virginia Tech Duke Ejiofor, DE, Wake Forest Jeff Holland, DE, Auburn Auden Tate, WR, Florida Kameron Kelly, S, San Diego State Skai Moore, LB, South Carolina R.J. McIntosh, DT, Miami Kalen Ballage, RB, Arizona State Jamarco Jones, OT, Ohio State Quin Blanding, S, Virginia Justin Lawler, DE, SMU

Bears trade up and get a highly productive WR. This has Nagy written all over it. Smith was for Fangio, Daniels was for Hiestand, and Miller was for Nagy. The Bears traded #105 (4th rounder) and next year's 2nd for #51. Based on how they value draft picks where next year's are worth one round less, we won the trade (in terms of value).

Miller has been compared to Antonio Brown, except Miller was more dominant with back to back 1,400 yd seasons with 32 TDs over those two years. We ended up basically trading 2nd rounders (this year for next year), and giving up a 4th this year to do that. The only issue I have is I wish we gave up our 2nd 4th rounder and not our original (105 vs 115).

This will be a tough one with Sutton, Landry, Gesicki, Johnson, and Jackson all going right after Daniels. Still a solid pick but a lot of room to move down and get an extra pick.

Sort of shocking considering most guys with first round grades were still on the board, and Courtland Sutton went one pick after us to the Broncos. So hopefully Daniels becomes a perennial starter and helps anchor the interior. I would've personally moved down and accumulated picks (if possible). There was a run on OLINE (3 in 5 picks) so I am sure that had something to do with it.

Interesting that Pace is just sticking to his player grades. Roquan was the obvious pick at #8 and when it came to #39, Daniels is right up there. So Whitehair moves back out to Guard. Daniels, Whitehair, Long is a pretty solid interior.

Wow, only Will Hernandez went before our pick, and we went James Daniels, C, Iowa. Not a bad pick, he had a first round grade. So we went LB, C to start the draft. We still need to address Edge and WR.

Yeah, that has to be why he is dropping. I agree, if we have 2-3 of these guys targeted and they one of them are still there, you pull the trigger, but if "our" guys are gone, you move down to still pick in this tier.

There are still a bunch of top Tier players left: Edge Harold Landry (1st round grade) CB Josh Jackson (1st round grade) G Will Hernandez (1st round grade) C James Daniels (1st round grade) RB Derrius Guice WR Courtland Sutton T Connor Williams CB Isaiah Oliver DL Maurice Hurst We pick 7th in the 2nd round, and I am sure there will be some trades ahead of us with teams wanting to go up and get their guy. Hopefully someone moves up to take another QB. If we stay where we are at, we are assured of one of these guys. If we are looking to trade down, I wouldn't want to drop more than 7-8 slots (#46 - CIN range) which would net us an additional early 4th rounder. We could then flip our two lower 4th's to move back into the back end of the 3rd (#91). I am thinking NO's would probably want more draft capital after moving up yesterday. So we get #46, and #91 for #39 and #115.

So teams traded up at 7 and 10, so the Bears and 49ers missed out on that trade action. 49ers took McGlinchey which seemed high at 9.

Roquan Smith a Chicago Bear.

Damn that was our trade. #12 and 2x 2nd rounders.

Pretty much as expected, Barkley, Nelson, and Chubb gone. Smith, Edmunds, or Fitzpatrick.

Nelson, Chubb, and Smith still available, wow.
