Bears4Ever_34 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I wouldn't be upset if either he or Kendall Wright fell to us at 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonej Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writ....html?hpt=hp_t3 Mad L I have looked at several mocks and I would have to say that 90% of them have the Bears taking Floyd. The only time this happened recently was when most draft experts had the Bears taking Chris Williams for what its worth if we are watching mock draft trends and the Bears. Well if we are watching trends of the team that Emery came from the Chiefs then we should look at how they have drafted. 5 out of their last 8 first rounders have been on defense. That puts KC in the same category with JA in terms of where the focus is. The 3 offensive players have been Jon Baldwin,Brandon Albert and DeWayne Bowe. The 5 defenders Eric Berry, Tyson Jackson,Glen Dorsey, Tamba Halli and Derrick Johnson. So this will be interesting to see where Emery will go.

madlithuanian Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Honestly, I don't put much stock in these mocks barring the top 5 picks. So much can go down after that... I'm not sure solely basing Emery's potential on what the Chiefs did is correct. He wasn't GM. He just had a say. I don't really know enough about this draft class (as usual) except Luck. This off-season will be interesting, and I still think not as "telling" about Emery as most would like to think. To much is at play, like Smith's needs, closing windows, etc...to truly gauge where Emery's real mindset is. I won't believe anything he or the team says, so much is smokescreens and media-speak. I just want to think we have a good brain making decisions now. I'm excited to see how FA plays out and how Emery's first draft plays out. I think we all are!

True he wasn't GM but it seems his scouting area of expertise was the southeast. That was his area when he was here and I beliieve when he was with the Falcons and the Chiefs. When you look at Brandon Albert,Glenn Dorsey,Tyson Jackson and Eric Berry his area is well represented and shows his influence. Not to metion Roddy White also.

Connorbear Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 its WR or bust If they sign a #1 receiver, they need to look o-line or cb in the first round. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears4Ever_34 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 If they sign a #1 receiver, they need to look o-line or cb in the first round. Peace Possible. They could also go in with the idea of drafting a WR after getting a veteran FA to change one of their weaknesses into a strength. Colston and Wright would not be a bad combination. Neither would Bowe and Floyd, hypothetically speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither would Bowe and Floyd, hypothetically speaking. But then the question is, would that look good if the Bears have the same O-line. Or have only a 2nd round pick on the D-Line.

Or have only a 2nd round pick on the D-Line. They'd still have 7 picks left to add a couple of offensive lineman in the draft if they wanted. Not alot out their in free agency for lineman unless we take a chance on McNeil, but that's assuming he can even pass a physical. No matter how you slice it, Emery is going to have to hit on alot of his early round picks this year for the Bears to start stockpiling some talent for the long haul. Alot of this should become more clear once free agency has come and gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it if that's the way the draft unfolds (i.e. all the LTs are gone when we pick). I don't think there is anything wrong with having the vet WR anchor the corps now with the young guy developed to be that anchor in the future. Todays 40 times of Floyd and Wright may shake things up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
