Long was going to go in the 20's. Aftter hearing Howie's interview, he said several teams talked to him in that range, and he was expecting him to go by 28. Also, he had slowly risen since the Senior Bowl and combine. With Pugh coming off at 19, there was no way he would even make it to 40. For Bostic, I was not tracking him this high and was surprised to see him taken over Brown, but looking around, some had him rated higher than Teo, so this may be a good value pick. Yeah I hate the Special Teams comments too. You should never mention ST and a 1st or 2nd rounder as a reason for drafting them. I would take Schwenke, Jones, Webb, Poyer, Green, Williams, Patton, Rogers, or Swope in the 5th. One of those guys should be there at 117.

That is good for us as they draft a few picks in front of us for each remaining round. Please keep picking these type of guys. Good that they already took a Center, hopefully Schwenke or Jones are there for us at 117.

Based on the number of picks, hopefully we can get 3 of these guys (ranking): Quarterback Tyler Wilson, Arkansas (83) Zac Dysert, Miami, Ohio (103) Ryan Nassib, Syracuse (96) Tyler Bray, Tennessee (90) Landry Jones, Oklahoma (118) Runningback Joseph Randle, Oklahoma St. (86) Andre Ellington, Clemson (91) Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina (58) Johnathan Franklin, UCLA (71) Jawan Jamison, Rutgers (127) Kenjon Barner, Oregon (136) Stepfan Taylor, Stanford (141) Wide Receiver Quinton Patton, Louisiana Tech (60) Da'Rick Rogers, Tennessee Tech (64) Ryan Swope, Texas A&M (117) Kenny Stills, Oklahoma (142) Chris Harper, Kansas St (166) Cobi Hamilton, Arkansas (172) Tight End Dion Sims, Michigan State (95) Levine Toilolo, Stanford (130) Offensive Line Oday Aboushi, Virginia (92) Reid Fragel, Ohio St. (111) Barrett Jones, Alabama (63) Brian Schwenke, California (80) David Quessenberry, San Jose St. (165) Jordan Mills, Louisiana Tech (100) Defensive Tackle Jesse Williams, Alabama (31) Everett Dawkins, Florida St. (153) Linebacker Chase Thomas, Stanford (85) Khaseem Green, Rutgers (43) Gerald Hodges, Penn St. (106) Kevin Reddick, North Carolina (160) AJ Klein, Iowa St (188) Cornerback Jordan Poyer, Oregon St. (59) BW Webb, William & Mary (113) Tharold Simon, LSU (147) Mike Edwards, Hawaii (139) Terry Hawthorne, CB

One thing we the top 2 picks, we are much more athletic and fast.

I don't know if you are talking to yourself or responding to the fact that he was already selected.

At least we are filling holes. Brown goes to Ravens, I will hate to see that work out over Bostic. They talked about Bostic playing special teams and subbing all LB positions. I would rather pick a starter here, but we will see. With no 3rd, that is our only pick today.

I didn't realize he was the fastest MLB at the combine, 4.61 40, not bad.

wtf man, you need to go play the lottery. Nice guess and pick.

Arhtur Brown and Kevin Reddick were both rated higher. Without a 3rd round pick, Bostic was our 2/3rd round pick.

National Football Post:

So Bostic over Brown, another OL, and Taylor and Allen. I don't mind Bostic, I just didn't think he would go that high either.

The Bears select: Jon Bostic, LB

Who's available at #50: Wide Receiver Keenan Allen, Cal Markus Wheaton, Oregon State Quinton Patton, Louisiana Tech Tight End Vance McDonald, Rice Offensive Line Larry Warford, Kentucky Terron Armstead, Arkansas-Pine Bluff Barrett Jones, Alabama Brian Schwenke, California Defensive Tackle Jesse Williams, Alabama John Jenkins, Georgia Linebacker Arthur Brown, Kansas State Cornerback Jamar Taylor, Boise State David Amerson, N.C. State Brown, Allen, Taylor, another OL? I just hope they are from this list.

Who's left at #49: Wide Receiver Keenan Allen, Cal Markus Wheaton, Oregon State Quinton Patton, Louisiana Tech Tight End Vance McDonald, Rice Offensive Line Larry Warford, Kentucky Terron Armstead, Arkansas-Pine Bluff Barrett Jones, Alabama Brian Schwenke, California Defensive Tackle Johnathan Hankins, Ohio State Jesse Williams, Alabama John Jenkins, Georgia Linebacker Arthur Brown, Kansas State Cornerback Jamar Taylor, Boise State David Amerson, N.C. State

I know, I hope they are both there at 50.

Yeah, and their little trade down got them an extra 3rd rounder next year. However, this is setting up for #50 nice, we will have a bunch of options, Arthur Brown, Keenan Allen, Jamar Taylor, Jesse Williams, Menelik Watson, Johnthan Banks, Kevin Minter, Terron Armstead.

Who's left: Wide Receiver Keenan Allen, Cal Robert Woods, USC Markus Wheaton, Oregon State Justin Hunter, Tennessee Quinton Patton, Louisiana Tech Tight End Zach Ertz, Stanford Gavin Escobar, San Diego State Vance McDonald, Rice Offensive Line Menelik Watson, Florida State Larry Warford, Kentucky Terron Armstead, Arkansas-Pine Bluff Barrett Jones, Alabama Brian Schwenke, California Defensive Tackle Johnathan Hankins, Ohio State Jesse Williams, Alabama John Jenkins, Georgia Kawann Short, Purdue Linebacker Manti Te'o, Notre Dame Kevin Minter, LSU Arthur Brown, Kansas State Cornerback Johnthan Banks, Mississippi State Jamar Taylor, Boise State David Amerson, N.C.

Rodgers deal with Packers is five years, $110 million, highest salary in NFL history. Rodgers average of $22 million tops the $20.1 million the $20.1 million Ravens' Joe Flacco received earlier this year. https://twitter.com/TomSilverstein The Packers now have $35 million/yr tied to 2 players (Rodgers/Matthews) for the next 5 years. They take up almost 30% of their cap space, and will take up over 25% of the cap space for the next 5 years (assuming the cap rises).

Yeah, Emery mentioned the Index on the Bears website. Interesting to see they had him rated as the best OG in the last 12 years. I still think he would've been there at 50, but if they thought that highly of him, someone else might have has well.

Some Tweets: Also, interesting to note that both McClellin and Long had great Senior Bowl weeks, and both seemed shocked to be picked in the top 20.

Thats funny, sounds like playing not to lose, which we have been great at. I agree, you have to break from the mold sometimes and think out of the box. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I'd say only: 1. Brown 2. Teo 3. Minter

if we trade down, sure, but I expected that in the first.

We don't have a 3rd round pick.
