If a move up gets us Clady or Albert, I am all for it. However, if those two are gone, then I would hang tight at 14.
I agree, however, I just can not see JA doing this. I can see him on the phone now trying to make a move down the board. As long as we get 2 good prospects for the OL in the first 3-4 rounds with the first being one of the top OLT prospects we have all been discussing then I will be fine with us moving down. Needless to say if we got Clady or Albert, I would be ecstatic!

Yes, what makes this contest so difficult is that players drop (like Quinn last year) and that reshuffles the order of picks, players we never suspected would be drafted in the first are selected in the first, again bumping the selections, trades, etc...
I think many of us will have a good 70% or better rating as far as who is selected in the first round. However, I would be greatly surprised if any of us actually get 10 or more correct selections as far as where they are actually picked.
What I would think was a no brainer selection for a team turns out never crossed the mind of that teams GM.

Aren't the first 3 rounds on Saturday?
No, unfortunately, they changed it so only the first 2 rounds are on Saturday and then they finish up 3-7 on Sunday. That change I do not like.

Good job Ashkum - I will be around. Not feeling well, may have to take a break or two, but hope to be here as much as possible. I have been watching this draft since ESPN started televising it back in 1980's. I couldn't watch it when they first started televising it because they use to do the draft I believe, if memory serves me right, on Tuesday's. Once they moved the draft to the weekend in (??) i believe in 1982, I have watched every single year.

I agree, let's end it now and call it a success.
It took 11 days for Round 1 and 8 days for Round 2, so I don't think we will get very deep into Round 3 by tomorrow.
Yep, good job Balta - Thanks for running the Mock Draft for TalkBears!!
-
are ya gonna take on the Payton Pick-ems this year too
I am hoping to. I will have to see what can be done for hosting the contest, it requires almost daily uploads during the course of the season. If I can get access to webspace then I will probably give it a go.

Just sent you my excel file for the contest.
Thanks for taking the time to do this for the forum. All of us who migrated here from BearsTalk certainly remember ITC3's yearly draft day contest. It was fantastic that you decided to take on this responsibility this year.

I wish I had hair like that. Come to think about it, I just wish I had hair, period.

I have regained entry into the site manager for the chat room so I was able to edit the entry page so that when you type in your username it shows up ok. For some reason it was white text on white, ouch, now the text is black on white.
Hope to see all of you who can make it join us for some fun during the draft.

What the heck, I will give it a try. Should be fun.

25 (56) Green Bay Packers (From Browns) - Pixote
With the 56th selection GBP select Brandon Flowers CB
On the clock:
26 (57) Miami Dolphins (From Chargers)- Drunkbomber

Again, I am heading to work in about 30 minutes. Will not be back until after 7 pm.
GB will be on the board by then.
In order of preference, please select one of the following. If the 2nd GB pick should come up by then, use the same list.
1- CB Brandon Flowers
2- QB John David Booty
3- S DaJuan Morgan
4- TE John Carlson
5- DT Pat Sima
This way I will not hold up the draft process. Thanks.

Thanks balta

Another bit of news for you guys. Adam Schefter of the NFL Network is reporting
that the Seahawks have released RB Shaun Alexander. This isn't shocking by any
stretch but it's still significant when something like this goes from speculation
to reality.
Alexander isn't the player he once was but he's still a guy that could help plenty
of teams. I'd expect most organizations to see how their draft shakes out this
weekend before making any big offers to Alexander though. Should be interesting.
Thanks to Footballguy Jeff Pasquino for the headsup on this one.

Guys,
I will be headed to work soon, will not be back until appx 7 pm. TB will be on the clock long before then so what I would like to do is leave my selection now so when Balta selects for the Redskins he can also enter mine for me.
TB needs QB, CB, & DT. QB cab be had in 3rd or 4th. I want CB first (Lee) and if he is taken DT second (Sims)
So in order of preference:
Patrick Lee CB Auburn
Pat Sims DT Auburn
Thanks

The way I see it, the Bears QB and RB situation are nearly the same.
QB: Two average starters who have done well at times, horrible at others. Nobody from other teams is scared of either Bears' QB.
RB: Two average starters (and a younger guy who is outside the box), who have some good qualities, but several bad ones as well. Nobody from other teams is going to stack the box because they're afraid of the Bears' running game.
So, all the talk about Mendenhall got me thinking....
What would you guys think if the Bears selected Brohm at 14? Assuming Ryan is gone, then Brohm is basically regarded as the second best QB, which is essentially what selecting Mendenhall would be.
Would you be upset by this?
Yes, NO to QB or any defensive player in the 1st, I can see RB, would prefer OLT
-
Can't see JA trading UP. Me thinks that he stays at 14 and grabs the best OT that is still there. Although the run on OL could be early, then we may be looking at someone else. But I hope not.
I agree , no need to trade up IMO. There will be many great players that would be excellent selections available at 14 without giving up a pick to move up. If anything, I see us moving down if we got a decent offer.

Round 3 is posted.
If anyone is hanging around who has the ability to update the first post in this thread and the first post in the Mel Kiper thread with the last few picks, it'd help me out a bit.
Completed through 2nd rd 17-48 Justin King CB Penn St

All the best Friday Pix
Thanks.
What concerns me even more is I am beginning to get the feeling something is going on with my left ear now, my only good ear of the two. If I lose the hearing in that one also, I am in serious trouble as far as my job and would be financially shot.
My damn insurance pays virtually nothing unless I go to an in network provider. The only specialist in network couldn't see me for 6 weeks from my initial call. Depending what is found and what the treatment required is, the only way I can afford it would be to use the in network provider. 4 days remaining......................... and counting.

Minnesota needs to get a QB to develop because quite frankly, they are in worse shape at QB than we are.
Minnesota selects: André Woodson QB Kentucky
Next up: 17 (48) Atlanta Falcons (From Texans) - Ashkum Bear

Hopefully Thugarella doesn't see any geeky looking students with laptops while he is there...
Bears | Players to appear at Chicago school
Mon, 21 Apr 2008 08:47:47 -0700
ChicagoBears.com reports Chicago Bears FS Danieal Manning and CB Ricky Manning Jr. will appear at Funston Elementary School in Chicago Tuesday, April 22, to participate in an assembly for over 300 students in support of the Bears' "What Moves U" fitness program. Both players will lead students in fitness exercises, assist with a nutrition trivia game and help educate kids about the importance of being physically active.
I love to hear this type of story. I think it is important for players on professional teams in all sports to give back to the communities they are involved in and this is one example of a great move by several Bear's players

Is there any trick to it? I've never done a chat.
I will be at a freind's house KO'ing a few brews and grubbin' on some ribs...but would like to chime in if possible. I may just have to hit the board. But thought I'd see what the chat is about.
I'm a chat rookie...
Nope, very easy. Just click on the link. Type in your username on the first line, you will not see it unless you highlight it, not sure why, tried to log back into bravenet and forgot my password/username combo, cannot retrieve same as my old email address when I signed up for this is no longer existing. You do not have to enter profile. Just enter the Chat Room by clicking Chat Button. You will see who is present on the right side. In the main panel you will see all that is being said after you log in. At the bottom is where you type your messages to enter into the chat. Once you get started, you will see how easy it is. You will have a few options, just follow the instructions provided.

According the the Pick Value Chart Buffalo's #11 pick is valued at 1250. Our 14th pick is valued at 1100. We would have to give them our #11 and our second selection in round 3 (#90 - valued at 140) to swing the trade. 1250 points for 1240 points (maybe throw in our regular 7th rounder as well which is another 9.6 points making it 1250 for 1249.6)
