It was amazing how Olsen was our pick for about 2 months, but then the consensus shifted towards LB and Beason. Funny how things work.

Draft Grades (from Yahoo Sports): FoxSports: Looks like the consensus is a "C" grade. I would say it is a B- at the lowest.

That is true, which is equivalent to a mid-7th rounder! YES!

So now he is finally straight from all his Pac-man-itis. He has a 45 day sentence for the weapons charge that will be served concurrently with the 4-month sentence for the probation violation. Now I am curious about how long the commish will give him for these incidents? 2 games? 4 games? 6 games? 8 games? I don't see it being more than that, but you never know.

It was corrected in the original post.

Correct. More specifically, they got Wolfe, Payne, and a 3rd rounder in 2008. SD gave a lot up to get Weddle.

He is?

I just love the fact that the Bears have two consecutive picks coming up. Since they already went DL, do they go OL, LB, S, or maybe RB? Tyler off the board.

It might come down to salaries and contracts. Ogunleye makes more than the entire Defensive Line, it will more than likely be him.

Yeah, they talked about Briggs and Tank more than the draft picks, thanks ESPN.

There is actually a lot of info on Bazuin surprisingly. He may be a sleeper pick. Here is an article about him, his brother attempted suicide and the family took him off life support, so he took that really hard (like most would). http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news?slug=jm...o&type=lgns

Ugh, WTF. He is 266, that is not a DT.

I was just thinking the same thing. With today's technology, they don't need this much time to make picks and trades. This is all for freaking tv ratings.

He is now.

What do you guys think about Leonard from Rutgers?

12 picks before the Bears 2nd rounder. Available: Ryan Kalil C USC Eric Wright CB UNLV Steve Smith WR USC Marcus McCauley CB FRESNO ST Trent Edwards QB STANFORD Ray McDonald DE FLORIDA Tim Crowder DE TEXAS Brian Leonard FB RUTGERS Josh Wilson CB MARYLAND Charles Johnson DE GEORGIA

I hope they use one of the 5th rounders to move up in the 3rd. Oh ok, yeah I had reservations about him, and based on the Bears not picking him at 37, they did too.

I am not mad. I am totally excited over Olsen and the way JA got more out of the TJ trade. I can see the Bears using one of those 3rd rounders on a RB to complement Benson (someone who can come in as a 3rd down back).

The Bears obviously were not that high on him.

10 left: 1 31 (31) Greg Olsen, TE, Miami (FL) 2 30 (62) (from San Diego) 2 31 (63) 3 30 (93) (from San Diego) 3 31 (94) 4 31 (130) 5 30 (167) (from San Diego) 5 31 (168) 6 31 (205) 7 11 (221) (from San Francisco through Cleveland) 7 31 (241)

The Bears have 10 picks left. There is no way they can draft that many players. I think they will package some of these picks and move back up.

So basically we got two 3rd rounders and a 5th rounder for TJ and moved up one pick in the 2nd round.

WTF, didn't we trade TJ to move up there? Now we trade it away to move back down?
