I think most of our Oline is full of enormous maulers!

The whole potential law suit is to be allowed into the supplemental draft since the nfl is telling him no. Again, I have no idea if he would win or even have a good case against the nfl.

Hub was on the score this morning and stated if Collins is cleared he will sue the NFL for the opportunity to get into the supplemental draft and believes he will win the case. If I'm Collins agent that would be my strategy to get my client paid and his best chance is the supplemental draft.

This was what I was absolutely hoping for out of our new GM, a responsible draft with no major reaches or players without a true nfl position drafted.

No surprise that Bucs reach with the selection of D. Smith as it was Lovies' MO to do such when he was Bears HC.

Not a leader either!

You could make that same argument for any position. Truth, OL is a need and was not particularly good last year and often neglected in past drafts.

I made a couple trade backs: http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/premium/draft.php?d=ivnbgb

I just did a fanspeak mock using the CBS big board YOUR PICKS 1: R2P7 OT JAKE FISHER OREGON 2: R3P15 OG/C ALI MARPET HOBART 3: R4P12 CB IFO EKPRE-OLOMU OREGON 4: R5P15 TE BEN KOYACK NOTRE DAME 5: R5P31 CB CHARLES GAINES LOUISVILLE 6: R6P5 DE 3-4 BOBBY RICHARDSON INDIANA 7: R6P7 RB KARLOS WILLIAMS FLORIDA STATE 8: R6P13 DT DERRICK LOTT CHATTANOOGA 9: R7P12 FS RYAN MURPHY OREGON STATE

Ok, I'm getting pre-draft gitters! Please, Please, Please, Ryan Pace just make a good football draft pick like what Pittsburgh or Baltimore seem to make! Nothing crazy or gimmicky please!

I was just looking up more info on Bronson and he is a FS. The more competition the better!

What are the chances of the Bears moving up to grab Leonard Williams? What would this take and would it be worth it?

unless they are sending him to Seattle for Jimmy Graham than I would hate it! Bennett is a beast and probably the best TE the Bears had in modern times or ever.

The past regimes (JA & Emery) tried to get to cute in the draft and every tried pulling rabbits out of their hat only to squander opportunities to draft high floor quality football players. I'm sure hoping Ryan Pace and company make good solid football draft selections.

Stinger, I appreciate the sentiment and sorry for your loss as well. Losing both dogs in the same year must have been really devastating.

Also announced, Former Bears DE Corey Wooten and Brett Farve to re-enact his (Favre's) last play in NFL prior to the jersey retiring ceremony. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/re-enactment/LOL

Bad day just got worse... We unexpectedly had to put our family dog down today and then trying to get my mind of him learn that Doug Buffone also passed away. Awful day.

While a wolf may be ferocious especially in a pack, I would rather Houston use a different beast to describe the spirit of how he's going to play this season like Grizzly! A mad Grizzly could take on a wolf pack!

I have had this scenario only a couple of times and I took Williams every time at 7. He is an elite player you want to have available when selecting inside the top ten. With Randy Gregory college production and off field stupidity, realistically he may be the one to drop. This mock illustrates this scenario with Bears trading back to 13 & 31 with NO. 1: R1P13 DE RANDY GREGORY NEBRASKA (will be a rush OLB) 2: R1P31 DT JORDAN PHILLIPS OKLAHOMA (NT ) 3: R2P7 CB JALEN COLLINS LSU 4: R3P7 RB TEVIN COLEMAN INDIANA 5: R4P7 FS DERRON SMITH FRESNO STATE 6: R5P6 WR CHRIS CONLEY GEORGIA 7: R6P7 S ADRIAN AMOS PENN STATE Even with this trade back it's so hard to replenish all the deficiencies on this team such as OT, C, and CB.

Very good points Lemonej and I think the Bears need to add another CB or two in this draft and apparently I'm not the only one: http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...alistic-in-2015 #Bearsmailbag hey Michael, what are the chances of doubling up on cbs and taking trae waynes @mikecwright: Good question because such a move would certainly make sense. Bears assistant director of college scouting Jeff Shiver was on hand recently for Trae Waynes' pro day at Michigan State, and the cornerback is expected by some to be the first defensive back off the board. So I think there's definitely a chance the Bears could go that direction because from this vantage point, the team needs at least one more corner. Right now, Tim Jennings and Kyle Fuller are the starters, and it doesn't appear the Bears plan to bring back Charles Tillman. So the Bears need to add another solid corner to the mix, and Waynes might fit the bill. Waynes is a fluid player, and in college he played a ton of man coverage, which should make him appealing to the Bears as they transition into what's expected to be a more aggressive scheme under new coordinator Vic Fangio.

I vary the boards used but can't remember which one I used for this mock.

why do the picks suck? Who would you have taken differently? Do you just hate the players, position selected or what round player/ position selected?

I'm not advocating moving Fuller to FS but he did play a hybrid DB position in college. I feel there is a lot of depth at CB in the draft more so than Saftey so would be good if bears took a bigger tweener DB like Rowe who could maybe move to FS. I would have no problem if the Bears drafted 3 CB's this year.

I would be thrilled if the Bears draft unfolded like this, how about you? http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/premium/draft.php?d=nluivc 15 - R1P15 CB TRAE WAYNES MICHIGAN ST (day one starter opposite Fuller) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/tra...ynes?id=2552448 45 - R2P13 OT/G JAKE FISHER OREGON ( Will replace Mills and start at RT or allow Long to move to RT) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/jak...sher?id=2552360 46 - R2P14 DE DANIELLE HUNTER LSU (could be another fast rush OLB) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/dan...nter?id=2552603 75 - R3P11 RB JAY AJAYI BOISE ST (would compete a nice 3 headed RB monster along with Forte / Carey) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/jay-ajayi?id=2552582 79 - R3P15 CB JALEN COLLINS LSU (Competition and needed depth which could allow Bears to use Fuller at FS) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/jal...lins?id=2552573 106 - R4P7 WR PHILLIP DORSETT MIAMI (FL) (Deep threat with 4.33 speed) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/phi...sett?id=2552424 110 - R4P11 G/C ALI MARPET HOBART (projected to play Center in the NFL) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/ali-marpet?id=2552332 142 - R5P6 CB SENQUEZ GOLSON OLE MISS (Golson would be a nice nickel corner and will push Tim Jennings to join Lovie in Tampa!) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/sen...lson?id=2552264 148 - R5P12 S JAQUISKI TARTT SAMFORD (backup / ST safety who projects as a SS) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/jaq...artt?id=2552391 223 - R7P6 DE DARIUS PHILON ARKANSAS (Atheltic DT/DE with nice burst) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/dar...ilon?id=2552676 224 - R7P7 S DAMARIOUS RANDALL ARIZONA STATE (Free Saftey prospect with good ball skills) http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/dam...dall?id=2552389 225 - R7P8 DE L.T.

I see CB and Safety as possibly the biggest needs currently.
