2014 NFL Draft Open Thread
Aldo, if the Bears really love, and have a plan for, De'Anthony Thomas, maybe he's the 4th round pick. Lots of decent RZbx left, though

Day 3 picks
I could see them waiting on RB - Bears don't need a starter and there will be plenty of good names left in the 5th. I'd like to see them use their 4th round pick for the most NFL ready safety on their board, someone who could at least conceivably push our pu pu platter of safeties for a starting job. That means probably not a small school guy (Huff, Dowling) and probably not a convert (Watkins, McGill). That would leave guys like Dion Bailey, Ahmad Dixon, Antone Exum, Craig Losten, Ed Reynolds, Jemea Thoman, maybe even Vinnie Sunseri. I've also heard good things about Brock Vereen from some. I just want someone who can push for a job, because the thought of a Mundy/Jennings (or Conte) safety tandem does not fill me with confidence.

Ego Ferguson, DT
I'm sure Ego looks forward to Shea teaching him both things he knows.

Man, you watch Sutton's 2012 tape and he looks a lot like Donald last year. Sutton bulked up from 285 to 315 last year for some reason and lost explosiveness. He says he's back down to 290 now. Excited to see what he can do.

Marqueston Huff, Wyoming. Book it.

Yep, and I get that. Ferguson had 58 tackles last year, which is a nice number for a DT and the kind you associate with a run stuffer. Hopefully he can develop some more penetration this year, but we definitely need DTs who can tackle. I don't hate this pick. My only though is, did the Bears have a drastically better grade in him than Nix, Quarles, McCullers, Johnson, Sutton, and other 2-3 round DTs that you had to take Ferguson here with a guy like Brooks and others still on the board?

Hope he's good and has good size and tools to work with (will probably rotate in this year). But after having your sights on Aaron Donald, a guy with 5 TFL and 1 sack in his CAREER is a bit of a let down. In Emery we trust I guess.

There was some buzz. Kiper actually had Bears taking Fuller in his last mock.

I've never heard of this guy, just stumbled across his account, so I have no idea if he has any credentials at all (welcome to the internet!), but figured I'd pass them along anyway: Ty Youngfelt@TyYoungfelt·7 hrs Player I hear most connected to Bears today: Terrence Brooks Ty Youngfelt@TyYoungfelt·4h Bears entertaining idea of dealing next year's 1st to acquire additional 2 this year - have 5 players w/1st rd grade still avail, 1 top 15

2nd round?
I'd love Brooks in the 2nd, but I just can't see him lasting until our pick. Too many teams in front of us need safety help - Lions, Cowboys, Rams to name a few.

2014 NFL Draft Open Thread
So, all it takes for a prospect to be great is for Mayock to like him? Blaine Gabbert will be so relieved to hear that (his #4 prospect and top QB in that draft). So will Shea McClellin (his #14 prospect) and Gabe Carimi (who he called a plug and play starter at RT and starter for the next ten years). Truth is, some guys loved Fuller, others did not. Defending the pick based on the rankings of one guy doesn't make sense to me. You say he can play any DB position, but we don't know that and Fuller admitted he has never played safety (closest he came was inverted safety against Georgia Tech, which is more like a LB than anything else). I hope he's the best CB out of this class. But for a team that wants to win now, I have a hard time believing that a nickel CB helps this team next year more than a starting safety.

Lamar Houston question
DE, but I can see him moving inside on 3rd down /passing situations.

If this was Emery's guy, I get it and I hope he's the next Revis. I just think part if the draft is effectively predicting what others will do and managing your picks accordingly. You can get a nickel CB and future starter in the 2nd ir 3rd round of this draft. Not sure you'll be able to get a starting safety.

I like those guys fine (particularly Huff), but I can't see them starting next year.

Brooks is the only safety left I could see starting for this team next year. Maybe Craig Losten ?

I still like Terrence Brooks. Hope he's there when we pick. I could see Emery liking Dezmon Southward from an athletic standpoint though.

Kyle Fuller, CB
I admit I didn't watch much film on him, but scanning YouTube just now in pretty impressed seems to know the routes better than the receivers.

Um, Fuller is taller than Dennard. Just sayin.

2014 NFL Draft Open Thread
Can see a trade here with both safeties, Mosely, and Dennard on the board. Or maybe Emery takes who he likes. On pins and needles

Trade Down Option
I guess, but I don't see that happening.

Trade Down Option
I wouldn't if Pryor, HaHa or Donald are on the board. Otherwise, fine by me.

"I will be mad if the Bears take/don't take . . . "
This. I have this feeling Pryor or HaHa will still be on the board and the Bears will take Fuller with the intention of converting him to safety, and it makes me want to vomit. I got nervous when I heard that Emery studied all the CBs as potential safeties.
