nice!
Ego Ferguson also signed...only Fuller and Sutton left
-
The point was we knew the S prospects up close and personal and choose Fuller instead. If Emery thought he is a better player than the two Ss that is what he has to go with.
Fuller was rated a top 5 player and Emery wasn't trading down or reaching for anything else. We drafted a S that is ready to get to work and we spent a future 5th round pick to get him. Drafting is not about one season, but 4 or more. We may have 5 guys that contribute right away which is great.
-
How lucky can we be to have Cliff, he knows his shit. We never have holdouts.
I hope he has many years left before retirement. It seems he gets these done sooner every year, like its a competition.
-
Cliff Stein is at it again. Brock Vereen and David Fales both sign 4 year contracts. More to come soon!

I have my doubts about Clowney as well. Watching him in a couple games this season, even watching Quarles run past him on some highlight films, makes me wonder if he has the desire to really achieve what he's capable of doing. Being on such a good Dline will help him but he was drafted in a spot where he is supposed to be capable of carrying a Dline. I don't see that in him but I hope he gets there because he could be fun to watch (except when playing against the Bears of course). Savage we heard a lot about in the last few weeks leading up to the draft but I wonder about a guy who ran around looking for a place to play instead of competing and winning. How does that guy handle the pressure of being a starting QB in the NFL? To be fair I said the same about a guy named Flacco years ago.
I think Buffalo gave up too much to get Watkins. I love how Watkins plays the game but in a draft deep with WR talent and all their needs it didn't make sense to me. He will help sell tickets so that makes sense.
I don't know enough to give out grades but I do know that this will be one of the best drafts to evaluate in 3 years. Even looking at it next year will be interesting because there is so much talent, even into the 4th round, that is expected to contribute a lot on many rosters.
Such a deep draft, too bad they can't expand the rounds to match the talent, could've went 8 or 9 rounds. I wish the NFL can create a JV developmental league again. It would be nice to retain and develop some of this talent that might go wasted.
-
I already forsee next years draft/FA will be DB heavy. Only Safeties signed beyond 2015 are Mundy & Vereen. Only cornerbacks beyond Fuller/Jennings. Dline will need another DT, LB depth, and TE.
-
We addressed our line here and in FA , I think we will be much better for it.
Trestman must have liked Fales a lot or I dont think drafing a QB was on Emerys radar.
I think we almost did as good with UDFA as what we did in the draft. Jones and Lynch willl make the final roster and Groy will make the practice squad.
I think we got two really good DTs in the second and third round. They replace Ratliff and Paea in the future years. Rotational guys as of now.
Fuller is going to be a star.
Leno makes the roster .
Carey is damn good and will be a tandem with someone else once Forte is done.
Vereen ends up being the starter game 5 and keeps the job.
We have a new punter that is bitchin
Fales rests on the practice squad.
All the draftees make the team this year and a few UDFAs.
No way they put Fales on the practice squad, he would get claimed in a heartbeat. They will be handcuffed to carry 3 QBs, which we will need to get used to. I can see Palmer eventually becoming a coach too.
-
Drafts, I believe take 3 years to play themselfs out. This year we will be grading his first draft. If SCM plays well at SLB then we will look at his first differently. Grabbing Jeffery and trading for Marshall almost negates the bad players he drafted.
Yeah, tough one as he didn't have his scouts in place and a different coach that had a large part on picking the personal. Shea should look better playing off the line.
-
Definately a deep draft. We have solid building blocks now. Down the road, this could be viewed as a great draft.
-
This is just my personal list of guys I'd contact if I were Emery:
OT Tiny Richardson
DT Kelcy Quarles
CB Marcus Roberson
LB Christian Jones
DE Jackson Jeffcoat
S Craig Loston
WR Brandon Coleman
WR Mike Davis
CB Louichez Purifoy
CB Chris Davis
LB Jonathan Brown
S Dion Bailey
S Kenny Ladler
DT Anthony Johnson
LB Shayne Skov
RB Isaiah Crowell
RB Rajion Neal
OT James Hurst
C Tyler Larsen
TE Colt Lyera
TE AC Leonard
TE Trey Burton
Just shows how much the mock draft sites and myself know about players. Many guys on this list that were on mocks as high as 3rd RD picks.
-
I loves me some Boise State prospects!
Athletic OT that can add 10-15 lbs and be better off inside at G. Played for Boise who was 6th in sacks allowed (.77/game).
-
Craig Loston as well.
Charles Leno Jr OT, I am always good with OT help
Dand autocorrect...fixed from Lane
-
Janis to the Pack, damn....Didn't really see the need, but I think he'll be a good player in a year or 2.
Tevin Reese as well
My guess is a high talent with character issues....Purifoy?
-
That wouldn't be a bad pick either...Ahmad Dixon would be a nice SS pick as well.
Also add Florida DBs Pourifoy and Roberson. Both had early high grades.

From cbs sports: draft grade
51. Chicago: Ego Ferguson, DT, LSU: The loss of Henry Melton to free agency was a big one for the Bears, but they grab another explosive, talented interior rusher here in Ferguson. He'll get lost against the run at times and needs to stay low off the snap, but he possesses unique quickness and strong hands, and should challenge for a key interior rusher role right away in Chicago. GRADE: B-
-
I rooting for Colt Lyerla/TE he is a buddy of Longs. and talented.
I am on the Lyerla bandwagon also, so no beef if they select him.
-
Was Dion Bailey S drafted yet? I think he'd be a 7th rd steal if I missed where he went.
-
I'm not too worried about that. All kickers have to adjust to the conditions.
He transferred after 3 years at Cincinnati, so he wasn't always in the balmy Miami area.
-
If you look at the whole draft 2 DTs, 1 CB, 1S,1 RB, 1QB, and 1P and a pick to go. This is decent IMO.
We filled the major holes.
Every year a I fill a sheet out with players at their positions, year contract expires, and thoughts of depth becoming a starter. Over the past 3 years Emery had his hands full, and has filled dire needs. Soon enough, they will have the freedom to draft to upgrade.
-
His 23 reps more than 6 tight ends, 19 running backs, 21 defensive linemen, and all 37 WRs at the combine.
like having an extra tackler on punts also. He is punter and gunner!
-
I still think McClellin is the future MLB and Bostic and Greene are the future on the outside.
That would be great too. I see the Bears using McClellin as a rush OLB if they shift to 3-4.

The punter is a beast of an athlete, runs a 4.6 and benched 225 23 times
They are going to move him to SS, just kidding. He is a good pick, says he over thinks punts at times and is inconsistant on hang time. Needs to get the mental part to catch up to his ability.
-
Greene either really, I think he still has upside. Hard for any LB to look good in front of that line last year.
I agree also. The Bears lost everything on D and when Briggs went down they lost the captain making the calls. I still have hope for Greene to replace Briggs and Bostic can grow into the MLB.
-
David Fales it is....I can dig it. I've liked him throughout the draft process.
So much for Emery saying developmental QBs are not worth drafting. I like Fales, can't wait to see the jokes with his last name from GB fans
Looks like Carey won't see much PT this year

I think Ka'Deem will get every third series. As long as he can pass block and hold onto the ball, he will get some action.
