DABEARSDABOMB Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I was listening to Mike Mayock chat earlier. Mayock is someone who I think is one of the better NFL guys on the draft. And he was talking about the oline and indicated that this years interior lineman class is one of the best classes in years. He went on to talk about how there will be talented guys being taken in the 3rd and 4th rounds. It also appears to be a pretty deep wideout draft (not a lot of 1st round wideouts, but some real quality in the latter rounds). I know a lot of us here have talked a bit about Nicks, but with this being the case, I think it points more towards me (if the Bears can land a good wideout via FA), looking at drafting LT/de/cb (RD 1) and guard in this years draft and than looking at one of the project type wideout's out there in the late 2nd or with one of our 3rd's.

DABEARSDABOMB Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Mike Adams from OSU is moving up a lot of draft boards. I know there is some question as to whether he is a RT or LT, but it seems like scouts are warming up on him as an LT. Clearly someone the Bears would consider with there 1st round pick (if he's available). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Caught this on the TFY Draft Insiders blog: We’ve been told there’s a very real chance the Chicago Bears use their first round selection on Kendall Wright as they are looking for a receiver that can line up in the slot. We hear worry about Johnny Knox ever returning to prior form after his back injury late last season also factors into this . The team also has an interest in Shea McClellin of Boise State, whom they would use at defensive end. http://www.draftinsider.net/blog/?p=6238 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think they should consider McClellin at a DE. He is a productive high motor guy and I think he could play DE but most list him at OLB. He probably is a 2nd round type of pick.

dawhizz Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Also from TFY: - On Tuesday we reported the Chicago Bears may consider Shea McLellin of Boise State in the first round. At some point in the draft the franchise will select an undersized speed rusher to play defensive end. Another player they are very high on would be Tim Fugger of Vanderbilt, who will be making an official visit to the team’s facilities.

Bears4Ever_34 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Meh.. I'll pass on McClellin. He belongs in a 3/4 scheme, not as a 4/3, especially if you're planning on taking him with a 1st round pick. Too high risk to try and makeshift him into being an undersized DE.

GakMan23 Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 they swapped positions and Minn also get a 4th, 5th and a 7nd rounder per NFL Network. *updated* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 They moved up one slot to get Richardson and give up a 2nd, 4th, and 5th? Wow, they must've been really worried about someone leap-frogging them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGBears Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 What a terrible trade for Cleveland. Sure, they get the guy they wanted, but they could have gotten him at 4 as Minnesota was not going to grab him. Way to give up all those picks and help a Bears divisional rival. Damnit.

adam Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 4th, 5th, & 7th Rounder No 2nd, or is that for this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 No 2nd, they swap 1st rounders, and give up a 4, 5, & 7. The Minnesota Vikings have traded the No. 3 overall pick to the Cleveland Browns for the No. 4 overall pick and three additional selections in the 2012 NFL Draft, according to Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer. The Browns gave up their fourth-, fifth- and seventh-round picks (Nos. 118, 139, 211) this year, a source with knowledge of the situation told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora.

Pixote Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I have a feeling Minny is going to trade down again, they will have a boat load of picks, but hopefully they will screw up on who they select. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradjock Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I have a feeling Minny is going to trade down again, they will have a boat load of picks, but hopefully they will screw up on who they select. The thing is, they want to get either Kalil or Claiborne. They don't want to move down much further. I'm convinced they want Kalil. It's damn shrewd of them to put down the "we want to trade down" rumor. They got extra picks for nothing. Good for them, dumb for Cleveland.

Pixote Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I assume Cleveland, knowing Minny was shopping their pick, was concerned another team may have traded with Minny and picked Richardson. That is the only way it would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradjock Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 They're slow to announce it. Is this part of the NFL's new lock down on information so we stay focused on ESPN and not alternate sites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 They moved up one slot to get Richardson and give up a 2nd, 4th, and 5th? Wow, they must've been really worried about someone leap-frogging them. Exactly. The Browns wanted to guarantee their single greatest need was met. Tampa was sitting at 5 coveting Richardson and was probably in play. Time will tell if they gave too much. But, they got their man and still have another first they can spend on WR.

bradjock Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 That one, I don't get. Just a 4th. My guess is they want Cox or another D-lineman. They can pick up a 4th round pick and get the same guy they wanted in a different spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradjock Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'm guessing they want the safety. This is going to be a record for trades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Try again. It's going to be Claiborne. They are suddenly a really really good defense with Brandon Carr and Claiborne. Wow. And wtf? They only got a 2nd round pick? What was St Louis thinking?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
