He didnt get invited to the Combine but did 35 BPs which would have been second in all positions.

I wonder what the combined RAS is for this draft. Seems like all the guys selected were top of the chart. Last year there was some grumblings and the Bears were rated the best draft in the league. Lots of questions over Loveland, but once the training wheels were removed the guy took over games and now looked at as an all-pro talent. The defense ranked 1st in take aways, with the improved back 7, can they repeat? The D interior added speed with Galimore, Lynch, and Street to go Jarrett and Dexter. Drafting Van den Berg adds to that. I thought Sheman Turner was a 3T, but looks more like DE with the moves at the interior. He'll join Sweat, Dayo, Booker, and Hardy. We have bodies on the dline, not the blue chips we hoped for, but we can look at Thieneman and Faulks career to see if the right choice was made. Overall, the Bears added elite athletes that love football.

Oh no. Not again.

Oh no - he’s a Packers fan! Green Bay Packers On SIThis Packers Fan Is Most Athletic, Interesting, Underrate...When Jordan van den Berg says it’s in his DNA to be a professional football player, he’s not kidding. His grandfather, Francois van den Berg, twice placed in th

Yes we got the freak.

An interesting stat is with 44 Ts his average depth of tackle was -.11 yards on run plays which is incredible.

I was going to mention that as an international player, he wont count against the roster.

Bears traded their two 7ths to get into the 6th and take this guy so unless they try to move back in, they are done for the day.

Bears traded their two 7th round picks (239 and 241) to move into the end of the sixth and take this guy. Born in South Africa and grew up playing rugby. Seems like he progressed finally a bit this year. Wonder if he might qualify as an international roster exemption which can sometimes be useful with a late pick you don’t want to lose. Heard the show say he can maybe play inside and outside similar to Dayo and Shemar. Oh, and I’d say he’s a pretty good athlete . . .

Meanwhile the Bears finally address the Dline with Jordan Van Den Berg in the 6th round.

He's very athletic, high motor that had 44 Ts 11 TFL, and 3 sacks. 6'4" 305 lbs with 4.94 speed. Loves football and was on the Freaks list.

We just traded up and got Jordan van der Berg. We got DL help, ( I have no idea if he is any good. )

This draft isnt going to be received well because of the last of prospects on the DL but I think it overall upgrades the roster. Theineman with Bryant are definite upgrade over the two starters last year. By reading the profiles Muhammad and Elliott could be eventual starters that have speed. Roush , Thomas, Jones all add to the offense .

Even without him I think our WR room will be good, with BJ, he will be a weapon that defenses have to account for that upgrades the rest of the offense. His speed demands attention. I look forward to see how the second year of this offense gets better. Raymond and Thomas add 4.34 and 4.28 speed. BJ is going to have fun.

The two of them were here for the good and bad picks. I dont think the grades by the sports organizations really mean anything in the long run because it is just an instant reaction without them being on an NFL field. You dont get realistic evaluations until 3 to 4 yrs down the road.

Cunningham is talented, but its Matt Ryans job making these football decisions...ugh. What Poles has done seems fine, we dream of our desires and the Bears take something we never imagined.

I mean, Ian was here for Zacch Pickens, Velus Jones, and Kiran, so let’s mot pretend he gets credit for the good picks but no blame for the bad.

Yes , my point was they are paid millions to get things right referring to stacking their board as to pundits and fans rating players We only have last year to judge this group, and it was successful. What I stated had to do with trusting them because of last years draft, not making a point that getting paid big money made them good .

I hope Ian Cunningham going to Atlanta doesn’t expose Poles’ too much . Ian’s’ day two grade was an A compared to Poles’ B+. (Reason for day one grade of C was due to their trade of this year’s #1 last year to get James Pearce Jr.).

Seems ok for depth
