BearFan PHX Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 yup, DE or OT in the 4th I think, with looks at the other one, DB, WR and teams from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 If we could get our hands on Tyrell Crosby in 4 and Mata'afa in the 5th that would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 And we select Joel Iyiegbuniwe, LB, Western Kentucky. Will be interesting to see where they play him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s 6-1 230. he’s another ILB—not an edge rusher. I’m not sure if he’s even listed in my draft guide. I can’t find him. Listening to the Score and Hub Arkush is like, “I don’t really know much about him.” Seems to be a reach for a position we didn’t need. Maybe we just boosted our special teams with a 4th round pick. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK a 6' 1" LB. lol Go Bears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 We need more information, maybe a SS ? Pass rusher only? Has the frame to put on 20 lbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I'm reading more and it seems like he is a special teams ace. If he does develop into something, and Smith is set to replace Trevathan in a year or two, this could be a shot across Kwitkowski's bow too. Pace must feel good about Lynch and Bullard. The Lions leapfrogged us to get Alabama DE Hand one pick before us. I wonder if we would have taken him if he'd been available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who after we drafted Roquan officially became a back-up ILB/special teams ace. Fourth round with so many needs—that’s pretty rich for a back-up special teamer. Good point about Hand. That would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense. I'm assuming that Trevathan's days are numbered as he ages. He's been out a lot with injury. This might be his last year in Chicago, as the window opens for the team, so it'll be Smith and ________ in the middle. Kwitkowski will have to step up to stay, and this new ILB will push him at both ILB and on special teams. Either Kwit will take the next step, or the new guy will grow into it, or we will be drafting another ILB soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradjock Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Bears take DT Nichols from Delaware. He was projected as a 7th rounder. Can’t complain about DT but it always sucks when it seems like we’re reaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Thus far the day three draft doesn’t make a lot of sense. An ILB who is not needed and a DT whose best fit is the back up NT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must see something in these kids for it to happen, and I'm good with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An ILB who is not needed and a DT whose best fit is the back up NT? Sounds like he is more of a DE, that can move inside. Good upside and depth was a need on dline. It's not like Bullard or RRH can slide to NT and moving Hicks inside takes him away from a position he excels at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 IMO I would rather throw darts at CB or Edge compared to ILB and DT. Hopefully Pace autocorrects and goes Duke Ejiofor, DE, Wake Forest or Jeff Holland, DE, Auburn in the 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 So Equanimeous St. Brown, WR or Parry Nickerson, CB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASHKUM BEAR Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 One thing about the draft, we get most of our info from internet gurus. Looking at were players go, we are off course more often than not. We see our needs, but don't know Pace and Nagys plan and their targets. There are still some names I've projected as 3rd rounders available in rd 6. My player, hope like heck we get him is Quenton Meeks CB. Like Equan St Brown as a bigger target WR. Aruna at OLB. Holton Hill CB. We will see what Pace and co think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Kylie Fitts, Edge, from Utah. If he can stay healthy, he should be able to contribute. 11.5 sacks and 14 TFL in only 22 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
