Bearstalk

Opinions on players selected, this draft brings foward something I am not used to see. There were two core groups with gaping needs, OL and LB. The Bears spent the first four picks selecting players for exactly those positions. There is no DE or Safety that were staples of the previous regime, depending on the 7th round to bring youth to the Ol. I like that the team this year saw needs and aggressively attacked the position. While I may or may not be excited about the players selected, Emery gets credit for not ignoring needs like the previous administration. I'm excited to see how this turns out. I think 2 Linemen, 2 LB's, and a half of a Brandon Marshall was …

Nice pick by Emery, surprised he fell that far. Some nice competition and depth at LB this year, and we just got a lot younger and faster.

Jordan Pryor, Swope, Matt Scott, Tyler Brey, who is it gonna be

with Falcons

I like how Emery is filling out this roster. He didn't bite on restructuring veterans to make more cap space. He is following a plan even though us as fans want the right now satisfaction. By this time next year, we will have at least 7 picks to load up and our cap situation should be healthy were we can continue to add or sign our own. LB is a position we were in desperate need of. Williams and Anderson are on one year contracts and Briggs is getting up there in age. I called for Ogletree/Brown in my last mock, we couldve went that route. I am actually more pleased getting Long and two guys that were not much of a dropoff. Here's to hoping Emerys vision has some succe…

Our next pick should be either Swoope Stills or Collins at speed WR

Since were taking player projects that are athletic, I see Denard Robinson in our future, probably 5th round.

Based on the number of picks, hopefully we can get 3 of these guys (ranking): Quarterback Tyler Wilson, Arkansas (83) Zac Dysert, Miami, Ohio (103) Ryan Nassib, Syracuse (96) Tyler Bray, Tennessee (90) Landry Jones, Oklahoma (118) Runningback Joseph Randle, Oklahoma St. (86) Andre Ellington, Clemson (91) Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina (58) Johnathan Franklin, UCLA (71) Jawan Jamison, Rutgers (127) Kenjon Barner, Oregon (136) Stepfan Taylor, Stanford (141) Wide Receiver Quinton Patton, Louisiana Tech (60) Da'Rick Rogers, Tennessee Tech (64) Ryan Swope, Texas A&M (117) Kenny Stills, Oklahoma (142) Chris Harper, Kansas S…

Just by looking at the Available Players. Take your pick 1. Ill take Alex Okafor 2. CB-Tharold Simon or Terry Hawthorne

GB Datone Jones, LB Eddie Lacy, RB 109 (4th) 122 (4th) 146 (5th) 159 (5th) 167 (5th) 173 (6th) 193 (6th) 216 (7th) 232 (7th) MIN Sharrif Floyd, DT Xavier Rhodes, CB Cordarrelle Patterson, WR 120 (4th) 155 (5th) 189 (6th) 213 (7th) 214 (7th) DET Ezekiel Ansah, DE Darius Slay, CB Larry Warford, G 132 (4th) 137 (5th) 171 (6th) 211 (7th) 245 (7th) CHI Kyle Long, OG Jon Bostic, LB 117 (4th) 153 (5th) 188 (6th) Hard to say we are not in last and all the other teams improved more than us at this point. All their picks filled a need and will contribute immediately. After a couple of trades, GB …

this is a list of best available players going forward. I think it is a realistic list of talent available. 31. Jesse Williams | 6'3 3/8, 323 pounds | Defensive tackle | Alabama 43. Khaseem Greene | 6'0 3/4, 241 pounds | Outside linebacker | Rutgers 50. Alex Okafor | 6'4 1/2, 264 pounds | Defensive end | Texas 56. Matt Barkley | 6'2 1/2, 227 pounds | Quarterback | Southern California 58. Marcus Lattimore | 5'11 1/4, 221 pounds | Running back | South Carolina * 59. Jordan Poyer | 5'11 7/8, 197 pounds | Cornerback | Oregon State 60. Quinton Patton | 6'0, 204 pounds | Wide receiver | Louisiana Tech 63. Barrett Jones | 6'4, 305 pounds | Center | Alabama…

Was just on NFL Network segment, totally nuts. They are by far and away the worst draft so far.. "The top 3 picks, they were all there on our Board in the 20s" HA!

So Bostic over Brown, another OL, and Taylor and Allen. I don't mind Bostic, I just didn't think he would go that high either.

20: Kyle Long After looking at the board 21-49, there were no OT or OG that were rated higher than him. Only guy close was Warford. I don't buy he was the Target at 20, I think they couldn't find a viable trade buddy. Probably cuz Dolphins established that the draft value chart was to be ignored this year. I was hoping wed trade down, but whatever, or take Sharrif. One thing you cant argue is his bloodline. Chris Long took a while, but now hes great, so hey. Good luck to him. 50: Jon Bostic I like Bostic alot, however I was gonna lose my mind when my childhood hero Neal anderson announced the Bears drafted Arthur Brown. A ton of LBs went before Brown o…

Apologies to anyone offended for last night I do not, repeat DO NOT hate Kyle Long. I dont know how to look up my past posts, but Kyle Long is there at 50 more than once Anyway, Here is my Bears Day 2 50. Trade back to 54, 50+4thRD to get a 3rd (Dolphins) 54. Manti Teo - Brown will go top15 of second 77. Barrett Jones - Bears totally revamp their OL, with two starters

2012 C Garza G Carimi G Brown T Webb T Scott 2013 C Garza G Long G Slauson T Bushrod T Webb, Scott, Carimi Huge difference interior wise and on left side. Iam sure this will be much better then prior years and could be solid for many years to come.

Rodgers deal with Packers is five years, $110 million, highest salary in NFL history. Rodgers average of $22 million tops the $20.1 million the $20.1 million Ravens' Joe Flacco received earlier this year. https://twitter.com/TomSilverstein The Packers now have $35 million/yr tied to 2 players (Rodgers/Matthews) for the next 5 years. They take up almost 30% of their cap space, and will take up over 25% of the cap space for the next 5 years (assuming the cap rises).
