adam Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I never considered Gordon or Gurley at #7, and don't think I would like it with all the other holes. However, I can see the reasoning: Forte is nearing the end of his career, has had a lot of touches over the last few years, has a decent cap hit, and really wasn't overly explosive last year. Considering all of that, it is still hard for me to see RB before the 4th with us having Forte, Carey, and Rodgers on the roster. Unless Forte was traded for a pick. Also, Fox has always seemed like an RB by committee type guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I would be legitimatly mad if we used the #7 pick on someone who won't help us this year, especially since we have a guy in Kadeem Carey who looked good in limited touches last year and deserves a shot to replace a Forte, IMO.

Me too, but now I have seen a couple of mocks with Gurley or Gordon at #7. That was a surprise to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TerraTor Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 That would b the only pick worse than an OL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 They select Gurley and he tears and ACL walking to the podium, all hell breaks loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 No thanks. If you are going RB, do it later in the draft or at the very least trade down. Picking one at 7, probably about as bad of a pick as we could make all things considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scs787 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Ya, no thanks. Like it was brought up earlier, Fox likes the whole RB by committee, and you don't do that with a top 10 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'TD' Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I would be legitimatly mad if we used the #7 pick on someone who won't help us this year Why would it matter if a player helped this year? It's not like the Bears are likely to be playoff bound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really wasn't using a committee last year. Players kept getting hurt and another guy stepped up. Ball got hurt, then Hillman got a majority of the carries until he got hurt. Then CJ Anderson came in and dominated. He didn't lose many, if any carries as the others got healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Forte last year, and lets say Gurley is the next Adrian Peterson and we draft him. I would scratch my head, but next year when he leads the league in rushing, I would be impressed. Its doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does RB by committee because he didnt have a stud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scs787 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Lol funny you guys say that in response to the RBBC thing. I've said the same thing. By RBBC I mean hes had lesser RBs and just rode the hot hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I've been on record of wanting to trade Forte and draft another RB, but I don't there is one worthy of the 7 pick. I'll gladly take one in round 2 or 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASHKUM BEAR Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Like your the only one with that thought that has run thru their head,its not brain surgery. And they drafted Monte Ball pretty high to hopefully be their hot hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
