ASHKUM BEAR

Bears had Johnson ranked #24 on their big board and the #3 CB. He will be a baller, has high football IQ. If it wasn't for the shoulder and the school, he may have been the top guy. Pagano is a DB coach, so I feel like they got a stud the can mold opposite of Fuller. At SS, maybe a JR Reid, Antoine Brooks, or Jordan Fuller will be there in the 5th. Kmet and Graham give us two additional weapons that were void last season. A speed WR would be nice but we sit pretty well with Robinson, Miller, Wimms, and Riley. OT a need for future, but now out off again. Look for SS next, then a WR and RB in 6th. 7th will be a mystery.

If these two contribute out the gate, it is a success. Especially since Pace did not move up for once. Get SS Jr Reid and I'll be smitten.

Hey Oscar, try looking at the bright side once in a while lol. He is a top 3 or 4 CB out of this draft. CB is harder to fill than SS, so I can't argue going that route. He played the season with the torn labrum, give him points for that. I wanted to see a trade down, but at least we didn't trade up for once. Small step made by Pace tonight.

Pick is in...Jaylon Johnson CB, great player. We got two positions of need filled. Not sure how we complete the need list but SS almost has to be the next pick.

36 receptions, 416 yds and 2 TDs. That is not one players stats, but the performance from all 10 TEs they had on the roster. That is why the Bears made TE a priority.

We did get the best TE and the position is very much needed to make the offense work for Nagy. I'm not mad, only wished we could have moved down some, but most likely no takers.

At least Paces smokescreen of visiting Bryce Hopkins 5 times threw the rest if the NFL off.

Kmet it is. Like him, but there was better players available.

Oh man, CB Diggs, Fulton, and Johnson. S Delpit, OT Jones are all worthy. Don't blow it, might be able to slide down 2-4 spots.

Wouldn't be a bad strategy, but unless you are getting a special player, is there much separation between Swift and a 4th rounder? So far, I do not feel our division has gotten any better. Minnesota replaced WR Diggs and one of their 3 CBs they lost. Detroit replaced Slay and took a RB who I thought they had a decent one already. GB took a guy who is two years from playing.

Does anyone here feel Detroit takes a RB high every year? Swift a Lion

That would be typical Pace. He just doesn't get it. The great GMs will take your picks all day. I'm sure it will have a future pick involved too because Pace will most likely be out.

I like those traits, but the Score crew was saying "as long as you can live with his missed tackles". Sounds like it could be an issue? I do feel better taking a big time college player over the small school guys (Dugger/Chinn) because you have a better sense of how they should perform.

We should have a deep list of targets by tomorrow. I'm still skepticle Pace brings out his golden wrench and tosses it to Goodell.

Brandon Auyik to SF, they traded up with Minny. At least GB didn't get the speedy wr.

How about SF, that Lynch is something. Trades back one spot, gets his guy and gains another pick. I hated the smug after the Bears made the mistake of trading up for Trubisky, but now I'm envious of not having a GM like that.

Anything Lacanfora says has a 2% chance of being correct. I would jump on it using a 2021 4th or 5th. We should toss in Shaheen so they have baby and daddy gronk.

Completely agree. The draft should not be about only todays needs. We will be lucky to see one player start day one. It takes time to adjust. The only position I see a player getting the opportunity is SS. This time is as good as any to get an OT because odds are Massie and Leno are both cut after this season. Now Ifedi or Spriggs may earn an extension to fill one of those spots but we could get a head start on having the other position up to speed. I think the OT pool is deep enough to get us a good one also. So most important is SS. Then WR, OT, CB, TE, RB in no particular order. I'd love to see them trade down once to get a 3rd to fill another position.

His processing just didn't come together. I don't know if he can mentally put it together for this season and it may take going to a different team. Blame goes all around but he wasn't good enough to overcome the rest of those team deficiencies. Maybe if they have improved oline play and establish a run game, maybe he can look the part. But then you know once one link is broken, the results will be similiar.

If that is what they need, it will cost 2 years worth of 1st RD picks. Hoping something triggers inside Mitch or Nick elevates and stays long term.

Kiper today said. The Bears could take a WR like Reager at 43 then maybe a TE at 50, like Kmet. Or trade down to gain a 3rd and use that on Trautman. I can go with: 2-43 Reager WR 2-59 Chinn SS 3-84 Trautman TE (or Antonio Gibson RB)

Just read Becton failed a drug test. I doubt it drops him down to the 2nd, but may drop him 5-10 slots

Next week at this time, I hope we have some early Saturday action...meaning we have made some trades. I would be good hitting on 2 speed guys early, a SS and one lineman if we have 4 top 110. Then on to the 2021 draft LOL and having all 7 rounds to dream about.

Doing many mocks, Muse always seemed like the last resort at SS but he didnt leave you feeling skepticle. You felt his floor was high enough to be alright, but not sure there much of a ceiling. Solid player and maybe someone we can compare to as Kwit as Stinger mentions

The new kids in the block might put some pressure on the hold overs that only had to show up to be in charge. I hope they still draft a high end OT prospect because we have quite a few 1 or 2 year players and need some long term stability. But at least Pace is adding talent to the pot which should make the unit better as a whole.
