Now that the draft is over...

You obviously can't predict other trades, or anything like that. All you can do is pick where the Bears picked.

 

Here's how I would have done it:

 

1) Laremy Tunsil, LT, Ole Miss - Huge steal here. He was supposed to be top 3, and before all the trade craziness he was probably #1. I think 75% of Bears fans thought he was the pick when the Bears traded up to #9.

2) Vonn Bell, FS, Ohio St - A safety with great coverage ability. Fits what the FO wants to do.

3) Jonathan Bullard, DE, Florida - Value is too good here. Great pick.

4) Andrew Billings, NT, Baylor - He's a monster. Should have gone earlier. Provides depth & competition for Goldman.

4) Dak Prescott, QB, Miss. St. - Can't believe we didn't get a QB.

4) Rashard Robinson, CB, LSU - 1st-2nd round talent. If he stays clean, this is a huge steal.

5) Jordan Howard, RB, Indiana - Great complement to Langford. I didn't even want a RB and I like this pick.

6) Dadi Nicholas, OLB, Va Tech - He's got explosive pass-rush ability and potential at 34OLB.

7) Scooby Wright, ILB, Arizona - Even if he's just a 2-down player, he was the single best defensive player in 2014. That's way better than 7th round talent.

 

My draft lacks the slot-WR, but it's possible Braverman would have been available UDFA. Otherwise, the same positions are there, with the exception of OT/OG reversal, and I believe Tunsil is a WAY better prospect than Whitehair (even though Whitehair is good).

 

How would you have done it?

I would like that draft better, but unfortunately you werent in the draft room.

I think I can be objective about this:

 

1) Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss - Same reasons as you.

2) Jonathan Bullard, DE, Florida - I would have pulled the trigger on him in the 2nd.

3) Kyler Fackrell, LB, Utah State - I get the edge rusher two rounds late, albeit without the same physical tools.

4) Pharoh Cooper, WR, South Carolina - I've liked him throughout the process and would have taken him here.

4) Dak Prescott, QB, Miss St. - Another guy I liked throughout the process.

4) Jerell Adams, TE, South Carolina - I know he went much later, but I would have taken him here.

5) Alex Collins, RB, Arkansas - I know Howard was generally rated better, but I think I like Collins a little more.

6) Harlen Miller, CB, Southeast Louisiana - I get my small school Tillman clone a bit later.

7) Jalen Mills, S, LSU - Hard to believe I would wait until the 7th to get a safety, but the ones I liked went earlier than I thought they would and I would have been pretty happy to find Mills here.
