Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Fisher in round 1, Aboushi or Fluker in round 2 (Lewan, Joeckel, and Matthews will all probably not be available). -If they sign one of the top 6 FA OT's, then I take Alec Ogletree (MLB) and take either Fluker or Aboushi in round 2. -If they sign a G, I take Fisher or Ogletree and then Aboushi or Fluker in round 2. -If they sign neither a OT or G, I trade down and with my first 2 picks, I take the best T then G available (Larry Warford, Alvin Bailey). FWIW, Kyle Long is an interesting one in round 4 if he's available, but I'm afraid his bloodlines might even sneak him into round 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, Kyle Long is an interesting one in round 4 if he's available, but I'm afraid his bloodlines might even sneak him into round 2. That's about the way I hope things go. I like Ogletree because he's an Urlacher esque converted safety playing middle linebacker. Though nowhere near Urlacher's freakish athleticism. I think he'll be one of those guys that fly up the draft board because of his rare skill-set as a LB. He'll need to bulk up a bit though. He'd be the perfect replacement, if there are any replacements for Brian. They definitely need to sign a tackle via free agency, and then if they're lucky, maybe take Fluker in the 2nd. They say he's capable of playing all over, and has the ability to play in whatever scheme, man or zone. I'm not generally a fan of taking guards in the 1st round, but Warmack is another interesting prospect you have to at least think about if you're the Bears.

You don't think Ogletree is as athletic as Urlacher? Most people say he might be the most athletic player in this draft. Yes, I agree on Warmack. If they sign one of Beatty/Long/Clady/Bushrod/Vollmer/Albert and no OG, Warmack is a safe pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is somewhat dependent on who we get in FA, but it would hard not to select Ogletree as the heir apparent to Urlacher. I know the OLine is horrible, but in terms of value, MLB seems to be a more important position than OG. Now if a OT fell to us at that slot, it would be an easy pick. I just don't want any DL selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Honestly, almost any of the selections would be fine with me. I wouldn't mind seeing Bama, Bama, Bama as far as OL goes. Just get this shit over with and solidify the OL for 10 years. 1 - Chance Warmack (10 year starting OG) 2 - DJ Fluker (I've seen more than one projection with him as a 2nd rounder) 3 - Barrett Jones (If this requires a late 2nd rounder, so be it.) Not only would this provide three starters, Barrett Jones would have flexibility and could replace Garza when he retires. Not only that, but it would be three players with instant chemistry. And the crazy thing is, starting three rookies like that would be better than the guys playing now. (I know this is never going to happen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Urlacher may have been the most athletically gifted inside linebacker of all time, so that's not the worst thing in the world for Ogletree. I think he's going to be a stud, and if the Bears have a shot at him, they should go after him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Agreed. That's why I put in the caveat of an extra second rounder. But, trading down and picking up a 2nd and a 3rd and then taking Fluker and Jones is a good plan, if they've already signed a LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FA LT, Fluker, Jones, AND our normal 2nd/3rd round picks!? Where do I sign that petition?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
