Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 If Johnson, Cooper, Joeckel, Warmack, and Fisher are gone at 20 and Fluker isn't worth it at 20 to Emery, I trade back. I don't take Austin just because. I let Houston or SF jump teams to pick Austin. With their 1st, I take Larry Warford maybe or Eifert. With my 2nd and 3rd then, I take the best T and best WR available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either we get someone with great value or we trade down, get an extra pick, and still get someone we want (for less money too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if those 5 are gone and Sheldon Richardson or Cordarelle Patterson fall because of that, take them? No. Trade down, get a 1st and a 3rd, take Eifert or Warford, and go WR/T/LB with your next 3 picks, preferrably T/LB/WR in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be no point wasting #20 on a WR, if someone wants them, let them move up to our slot and take them for an extra pick. There are some really deep positions and we can get a couple of impact players in the first few rounds that can immediately upgrade multiple positions (OL, TE).

Sorry, I thought you were disagreeing with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 But another early WR? Are there enough balls to go around? I don't think so, at least not until the OL gets fixed. The way I look at it with Austin is that his versatility as a runner, receiver, and returner makes him more valuable, and it's because he can have an impact in multiple areas of the game. You have to think with a new offensive mind running the ship this year they will use someone with his skill set in a variety of ways. It would be interesting to see him used in spot situations as a motioned in running back while Forte flanks out to receiver. Kid is a matchup nightmare. Again, just my two cents. Cooper makes a lot of sense too. I still am giving Austin the edge though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a good addition, but that aint happening. TE will be addressed before our 4 th WR position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of having a stable of stud WRs is something I've been talking about for years (why I wanted TO and Moss the FIRST time they became FAs). I just don't see it working unless Cutler is protected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
