madlithuanian Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 ...as I once told some Sox and Cubs fans that are friends..."aren't we all just Bears fans in the end?" I will tell you if we draft Mendenhall, he will be better than Neal Anderson. I'm still baffled as well... I think passing on a talent like Mendenhall will haunt us. I'm OK taking a top OL over Mendenhall...just not a reach. I still view Mendenhall at a top 10 prospect, so if he falls to us, we will be fools not to take him. As Hans & Farnas said, "Listen to me now, believe me later." We have an abundance of pressing needs, and OL is a huge one...that we must address early. But not in lieu of taking a game changing back...regardless if his blockers suck or not. Please feel free to tell me "I told you so" if I am wrong. I'll be happy to put some Tabasco on my plate of crow... But, also expect the same from me. ...in the end, here's hoping that whoever we get is awesome! Grudges? I hold many. Do they apply to this board? Absolutely not. That'd be silly, because this stuff is not that important considering our relative unimportance. Although, I would say that some conversations get more heated than others, and some posters are incredibly more sensitive than others. I don't hold a grudge against JA; I think he's done a fairly good job. If the Bears do draft a RB in the first, and it would probably be Mendenhall, I'll tell you all that he's going to be a bust...just like I said when the Bears drafted Benson. What amazes me about the whole thing is that we have all watched the same games, and I'm baffled that people think drafting a RB in the first is a good idea when there are several other more pressing needs.
