Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I don't see a mock draft. I just see an article explaining how the pick might be Sheldon Richardson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears4Ever_34 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 If we don't re-sign Melton, we need to use that money to sign a top tier FA like Levitre. I would not be in favor of spending another first round draft pick on a DT unless he's projected to be this fantastic, can't miss prospect. I wish it was possible to trade Melton. I'd take a 2nd rounder and be happy with it if that's what we got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a mock draft with him going #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scs787 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 The 3 technique is pretty important in this defense unless they start bringing some heat from the LBs, if Melton is gone they need to get a guy who can get to the QB on the interior...Richardson from what I'm reading could be that guy.

Mongo3451 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Oh. This would be atrocious. http://chicago.sbnation.com/2013/2/27/4037...ldon-richardson I don't mind it. We'd save about 5 mil a year by drafting him and letting Melton walk. That would free up money for Levitre, then draft Barrett Jones or comperable in the 2nd. Of course that's not going to happen, because of the timing between FA and draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradjock Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Oh. This would be atrocious. http://chicago.sbnation.com/2013/2/27/4037...ldon-richardson Moot point with Melton locked up now. I also think that Melton being signed really minimizes any concerns you had we might draft Manti Te'o or another defensive player in round 1. The offensive line is of the greatest need and good o-linemen will be available at #20 . . . unless we decide to draft a TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonej Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Signing af FA OG is not a slam dunk to success. Steve Hutchinson and the OG from Pittsburgh who's name I can't recall for obvious reasons are two of the more recent guys at that position that were highly touted going into FA but were mediocre when they were signed by another team. OL are the toughest FAs to gauge when it comes to who best fits your team and scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OL are the toughest FAs to gauge when it comes to who best fits your team and scheme. Hutchinson was also 35 years old, ya gotta expect mediocrity, or old age, to hit at some point. I assume you mean David Decastro, who they got in the draft and not FA. Most rookie lineman take a lil bit to come around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Alan Faneca, because I recall how some on this board wanted a probowl LG to play next to rookie Chris Williams at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Faneca was also older. He went to Arizona and ended up being terrible. Levitre is in his prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, Gotcha. I thought he was just talking about last year. My bad Still though if it was recently, his mediocrity could be attributed to old age. A guy like Levitre still has 4--5 more good years in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Faneca was a big name and the Steelers let him go at exactly the right time, around the age of 32 IIRC. He got a huge contract and couldn't move like he used to and was not even good. Hutchinson was still young and still outstanding when he first hit FA and Vikings signed him.
