AZ54 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/843888880659193858 I'd think this is due diligence on a trade down. OTOH if there is a team in the top 10 that really wants Foster this might make them a little more likely to trade up for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a beast and can be considered BPA. ILB is also somewhat a need since Trevathan can possibly miss half the season and Freemans age/contract shows he won't be around after his contract expires after this season. It is a dark horse pick, but Chicago likes its great LB tradition and he can carry on the legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it means a hill of beans but I'd be extremely very much good with this guy joining the team!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTOH if there is a team in the top 10 that really wants Foster this might make them a little more likely to trade up for him. I'd be curious to see in the last two years of the players that visited pre-draft were actually drafted. Or at the very least what the trend of players there were. Like last year, did they have a lot of OLBs visit (drafting Floyd) and the year before that WRs when they drafted White? Or was it all a bunch of smoke and mirrors?

jason Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Love the player, hate the idea of drafting him. Far too many other needs to pick a position that already has solid starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they? Since being with the Bears, Trevathan has been injured three times (that we know of). Two knee injuries (slight one in TC last year and the season ender in November) and a severe thumb injury in October. Apparently he's had quite the injury history while in Denver. And remember, Pace loves him some BPA. Who among us picked Floyd last year with McPhee, Young and Houston already on the roster? Speaking of the season ender knee issue; then there's this (below). http://www.espn.com/blog/chicago-bears/pos...table-to-return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scs787 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Even using the BPA logic I don't think Foster is that guy unless they trade down. With Freeman, Trev, and Kwikowski, I would be dissapointed with the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Side note: If everyone is scared off because of his combine explosion at the hospital, or whatever it was, and he slipped to the second round (won't happen), I'd be pissed if the Bears DIDN'T draft him. That would be amazing value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
