All hell breaks loose

Suppose the draft goes crazy. I'm talking "Kevin Costner making horrendous trades in Draft Day, getting his guy, causing a #1 QB to fall and nobody takes him"-crazy. Who do you want as your #1 guy?

 

Honestly, I don't see how the Titans pick anyone but Tunsil. They have some offensive weapons, and just need to protect. Cleveland is picking a QB, and Goff seems like the #1 guy. Bosa is rated as the #1 guy overall on most boards, so he probably doesn't make it past SD. After that, however, all bets are off.

 

So, assuming a small amount of realism, who do you hope makes it to 11 and the Bears can't help but to pick him?

 

My guy is Ronnie Stanley. He's a stud, a monster with long-arms, punch, toughness, and the ability to play either side.

My wish list:

 

1) Myles Jack as long as his knee checks out. I haven't moved off this guy as perfect fit of talent and huge need. While he might not be the biggest player at LB he is very stout going against Oline blocks using his arms to maintain leverage. After watching the Patriots do all they could to isolate RBs against Denver's LBs on the outside that would never be a concern with Jack on the field. He'll be a stud covering RBs , TEs, and even some WRs.

 

1a) Stanley. After watching video of him in several games I was very impressed with his athleticism and his vision to pick up stunts/blitzes/whatever comes his way even if it meant shifting his position to block two players. That's very rare ability, at least in what I've seen. He's got some stuff to work on but he has a good attitude toward improving his game and NFL coaching will help him fix it. That kind of talent at LT is a huge plus for any offense. If he can play RT that helps our depth because Stanley can be backup RT and we keep Leno as backup OT primarily for LT (he can't play on right side).

 

 

I like where we sit at #11 because there is a good chance one of these studs falls to us. What happens at the Senior Bowl will go a long way toward making this happen: Keep an eye on Carson Wentz!

One of those two falls and I'm happy. And I've mentioned Wentz before.

Jack, Stanley, or Ramsey seem like the logical choices, and there is a chance one of them will be there at #11.

My top 10 would be similiar to this. I could think deeper into it and shuffle it some, but this is close. Get a long term impact player.

1-Tunsil OT

2-Bosa DL

3-Stanley OT

4-Jack LB

5-Ramsey DB

6-Nkimdiche DL

7-Buckner DL

8-Smith LB

9-Hargreves CB

10-Ragland LB

It would be hard for me to pass on Jalen Ramsey if he fell - getting a real ballhawk in the secondary, either as FS to Amos at SS or as a shutdown CB.

 

I like Ramsey more as a FS for the same reason, plus he's a bit soft in run support on the edges. He has the size to deliver good hits and sometimes will but he often hesitates to close quickly on running plays especially when there is traffic in front.

Thanks for reminding me of that movie, I had forgot about it. I finally watched it tonight, and the initial trade of 2 1sts and a 3rd was reminiscent of the Cutler trade. I liked the movie, but thought the rest of the trades made were highly unlikely and kind of hurt the movie for me. Poor Jacksonville getting treated like an inept franchise and making bad moves and Seattle wanting the 6th pick for such a high price to move up one spot, right after the Browns traded Jacksonville 3 2nds was just way too unrealistic. If they liked the QB that much, they would have never traded out of the first pick.

 

That said, what happened to all of the QB's in this years draft that everyone was talking about last year? Everyone was talking about screw trying to go after Marriotta, like in the movie, that there would be much better prospects going through multiple rounds this year. Yet, this draft comes and it seems like there isn't a plethora QBs, or even one, that is a better prospect then him.

What happened to Cook and Hackenberg? They both have dropped out of the hype. Lynch, Wentz, and Goff have supplanted them somewhat. Have to wait and see what senior bowl games and the combine do. If the Bears were smart, they would throw a lot of interest in the QBs to force teams to take one or trade up.

Agreed! Which could very well create the scenario this thread is referring to.
