Has there ever been a draft where two players with the same last name were drafted 1-2? The 2Long draft.

Per Sun-Times: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...-bear20.article

I was thinking we can do a Talkbears consensus pick for each selection up until the Bears pick. No trades, etc. I will then remove the selected player and make another poll until we get to 14 (hopefully before the real draft). If it goes quick, we can go beyond and have two mocks to compare on draft day. The minimum will be 20 total votes or 10 votes for one player to move on. I am curious to see how this plays out.

Just looking at this, those two wins at the end of the season are sure looking crappy right now. With one loss out of the last two games, we draft 9th. If that happened, we could've traded out of the 9th spot to 14th and pick up extra picks, lol.

I wouldn't mind Brohm, but not at 14. If Dallas was willing to trade with us, I could see him selected somewhere in the 20's with the ability to have a 2nd pick in the 1st. With only 1 1st rounder and at 14, I would say the options are down to: QB - Ryan (very unlikely) RB - Mendenhall, Stewart OL - Albert, Clady, Otah, Williams WR - Sweed, Thomas (I hope we don't go WR) S - Phillips

That is for Arch to do.

"With the 49th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select Mario Manningham, Wide Receiver, Michigan" The Arizona Cardinals and Parkerbear7 are on the clock...

Now if you can project the picks all the way out to #14 with the possible scenarios, that would be sweet.

The Buffalo Bills and Balta1701-A are now on the clock....

Ok, I know we set a loose time limit on picks, so when do we move on? If he wants a Safety, Reggie Smith is still available.

Any word on this pick?

Well said. I like the idea. I just think they need to relook contracts in general. Maybe have some type of stipulation where if a team cannot cut you, you also cannot sit out. Maybe for the first 3 years of a deal or something along those lines. Another idea might be a limit on the amount of times players can renegotiate contracts.

Broncos signed WR Darrell Jackson to a one-year, $1.5 million contract, according to NFL Network's Adam Schefter. Could've been a nice pickup for us.

"With the 33rd pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select James Hardy, Wide Receiver, Indiana" The Atlanta Falcons and Ashkum Bear are now on the clock......

"And that concludes the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft"

I don't think Rice is even on the Bears draft board. Not that this place is gospel, but DraftTek even takes Rice out of the running to be drafted by the Bears along with Hart from Michigan and a bunch of QB's: http://www.drafttek.com/Override2008.html

"With the 28th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Felix Jones, Runningback, Arkansas" - Jerry Jones rejoices. The San Francisco 49ers and MadLithuanian are now on the clock........

Clady vs Ryan would be a hard decision. I think if both are available at 14, I would go with Ryan. Reasoning: If Clady is available, more than likely Williams, Otah, etc are all still available as well. Making it possible to still pick up quality OL in the 2nd round.

You answered everything to a "t". Ryan would be your pick of the group if he was available, even if it is an extreme longshot. Then if Ryan/Clady are gone you would take Albert over Otah/Williams/Mendenhall/Stewart. So the next question is (to everyone), what does your big board look like if you are JA? Regardless if they will be there or not at 14, list your top 15 picks based on the Bears current team needs. Is Jake Long #1 on your big board? Where is McFadden, etc.

I will be happy if we finish the first round by the time the draft starts. DB is alive, I see him....... Pick coming.......

There are some guys that have about a 0.00001% of falling to us at 14, and would have to be convicted of some Pacman crime to get there. So I just took those guys out while still including a couple of long shots. The point was, if Clady, Ryan, and Mendenhall are there at 14, who would you take? Now if you believe there is no chance in hell that either will be there, then excluding them, who is your next pick?

3 out of the last 4 at home, and two warm weather teams (JAX/NO).

Maybe a better way to ask it is how would you rank these players on the Bears draft board, regardless of the odds that they will be there at #14? That takes the guessing out of who you would pick.

So if all things were equal, and you could choose one player at #14, who is it and why? Which Offensive Lineman fits the Bears the best? Would RB or WR be the best choice? Who is the best available at #14? I understand that ALL of them would not be available at #14, but more than likely a combination of them will be.

This year, the Cowboys have the luxury of two late 1st round draft picks. This gives them some flexibility with their selections. Seeing that their WR corps is rapidly aging with TO and Terry Glenn. The Cowboys see a nice fit with a player who fell to them at #22. With the 22nd pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Limas Sweed, Wide Receiver, Texas. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Drunkbomber are on the clock........
