Bearstalk

I was at a wedding last night, and one of my wife's freinds came up to me all excited that a freind of hers was drafted by the Bears. I asked the name and she said Jefferson. So, I immediately knew he wasn't "drafted", but figured he was signed after the draft. I checked on line on my phone and found that to be true. She said he's an amazing and down to earth guy who is a really hard worker. She said he was beyond thrilled that he landed with the Bears. So, I feel like I've got a horse in the race and am really pulling for this kid to make it. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dspro...5&genpos=WR http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players…

Impossible to know the results, but on face value this is the best draft in quite some time. Fill needs? Check (for the most part...only six picks) Draft BPA related to needs? Check No big reaches? Check No stupid small school picks? Check No injury history guys? Check I don't know how any Bear fan can be truly disappointed with this draft. Even if someone would have preferred different players, it turned out very well. Even Langford, the lone head scratcher, possesses home-run spped at tailback, something the Bears haven't had for quite some time. Between him and White, this team may have an explosive aspect to it in the near future. Bravo…

For this draft to be an upgrade from past drafts. Pick 1. A no brainer once Cooper and Williams were gone. However, anything less then a B. Marshall career will turn what could be a great pick into just another Bears failure at first round WR's. 2. Filled the biggest need on D with a better be starter day one. Meaning he will start on first downs and running downs first year. Will rotate with a few others but should be our Wilfork for the next ten years or another bust. 3. A mild manner Krutz. He won't punch out team mates only opposing tackles. May start year one or learn for a year then a ten year anchor. Same as Goldman. …

Post Bears ' signings and other relevant news here. It's already started with Alabama TE Bryan Vogler agreeing to sign with Bears. Info on him: http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2015/03...ed_pro_day.html -LS Rick Lovato, Old Dominion - WR Levi Norwood, Baylor

The Bengals had a MONSTER draft. Stupendous. Book end Tackles. Starting TE. Tackling machine ILB. Versatile CB. Rangy, great value FS. Wow.

I can't recall...

In round 6. ESPN had him ranked as the 321st best player in the draft.

I'm not a big PFF guy, but these are interesting to note: Kevin White, WR, West Virginia Brandon Marshall is gone but fear not Bears fans because Kevin White is in town. A beast of a receiver, his physicality and ability to win downfield scared many a college defensive back and promise to do the same in the NFL. Only Amari Cooper forced more missed tackles, and only Devin Smith had more deep touchdowns (7) than the talented wideout. A truly explosive player, the tandem of him and Alshon Jeffery is one that rightly has the Bears fans in attendance sitting very pretty. This fit makes all kinds of sense. Eddie Goldman, ID, Florida State What He Brings: An…

Think it will be a cornerback. Still a need. I could really see us trading it for a late #6 and a #7.

How about La'El Collins? Although we REALLY need help in the secondary.

And the wheels fall off...

tells you what they think of Carey MSU RB Langford

All the guys we've taken at tall. Some similarlity to Seattle's structure of tall vs small. 6'3" for White, 6'4" for "Oscar" Goldman (sorry had to throw in a Six Million Dallar Man reference for us old guys...), and 6'3" for Grasu I'll be curious to see if this possible trend continues.

Dude had to get fired to REALIZE OL is important. Jamies Winston followed by OT and OG. And that's on top of the OT AND OG he drafted last year. Seriously, that guy can kiss my ass square on the butthole.

Player, Pos, College, (Big Board Rank) L. Collins OT LSU (18) T. Clemmings OT Pitt (50) G. Jarrett DT Clem (60) B. Hundley QB UCLA (63) B. Petty QB Baylor (73) J. Shaw CB USC (87) M. Hardison DT Arz St (101) R. Nunez-Roches DT S. Miss (104) I. Ekpre-Olomu CB Ore (109) D. Smith FS Fres (110) With such an early pick in the round, I don't see Pace deviating from his current draft mentality. With that, a few of these guys should be available with the 7th pick in the round. If they are not sold on Petty or Hundley, I would go Smith/Shaw/Ekpre and pray for Ryan in the 5th. So it would either be CB-LB-S or S-LB-Other in the last 3 rounds.

For years and years we have watched the draft and said to ourselves, "WTF is that pick? Why aren't they factoring in need? Who the hell is that and where did he play? Why are they trying to show how cute or smart they are? Just make smart freaking picks!!!" Is this FINALLY the GM who picks how we more or less agree? Sorry guys, but based on the horrible drafts of the past, I still don't think they were competent in their jobs, regardless of how much inside info they had. If they were that good, and that above the average person, much less the die-hard like this board, then they would have had much better success. This is especially true for JA - dartboard se…

Using my mega sophisticated draft value scoring system, using the CBS Sports Big Board, Pace is a boss right now. In 3 picks he has increased the value of our draft by the equivalent of a mid 3rd round pick. We basically got Goldman and Grasu later than their grades without having to trade up to get them. I compare the slot they were projected in, and add or subtract the draft trade value for those slots to where they were actually drafted. Then I take the cumulative total to come up with the overall value of the draft. Name/Pick/Big Board/Value Kevin White 7 - 7 = 0 Eddie Goldman 39 - 27 = +170 pts Hroniss Grasu 71 - 61 = +57 pts Total = +222 (+ mid 3…

A Favorite draft pick this year!
