FA changes a lot in the first round and if you can get someone QB hungry to trade for an opportunity to grab one of the QBs that will be at 11 then this is my scenario with Wentz and Goff off the board Lynch is there and the Rams come calling. Get their 1st and 3rd obtain a 2nd next year and swap 5th rd picks. 1. William Jackson CB Hou With most of the speculation of who the Bears like this offseason spot on don't be surprised if he was the pick 2. Shon Coleman LOT Auburn Adding a spark to the pants of Leno Jr is my motivation for this pick and if possible replacing Leno with Coleman early on is possible 3. Will Redmond CB Miss ST I'm thinking he maybe better at safety which is why I pick him here and we need bodies at the back end also 4. Spencer Drago OG Baylor Behind Slausson and Long you have DuCasse and then what? A youth transfusion is needed. 5. Aaron Burbridge WR Mich St When the top 4 WRs ( Jeffrey,White, Royal, Marianni) on the roster have injury histories and the next couple (Meredith and Bellamy) have limited production history competition needs to be created at the position 6. Willie Beavers OT Western Mich Maybe Massie pans out for a year but this prospect could be waiting in the wings to replace him. 7. Dak Prescott QB Ole Miss Prescott's poor judgement recently has made him a day 3 prospect imo and makes it easier for the Bears to secure him on the 3rd day of the draft 8. David Morgan TE Texas San Antonio Resigning Miller helps but his injury history and Bennett's impending departure leave Housler and Lee as the other options, we need a body here. 9. Joe Schobert OLB Wisc I like this prospects hustle and drive and if he only becomes a special teamer early on I like the idea of drafting some Wisconsin defensive players that have fared well over the years in the NFL 10 Dadi Nicolas De/OLB Va Tech Last year and early this season this guy was a stud but watching film recently showed he had a little trouble at the point of attack and imo it was strictly his technique this year. He raised up really quickly and got handled by the OL he went up against as well as dealt with double teams. I say take a flyer on him here!

Hasn't that happened already? 1 yr outside then last year inside, sounds like what Shea McClellin just went through except starting at DE first. Its time to start playing guys in their best position and now there is a confirmed reason why Jones went undrafted by all 32 teams. He can't make plays on the NFL level.

scs787 I like this kid but this is a red flag and with the Manziel on going situation, there should be zero tolerance for this behavior! Now he has to go through the league substance policy. I don't want my team dealing with this kind of behavior!

Posted this because I was a staunch Dak fan on day 3 but, he is off my board and my next mock will reflect that!

Christian Hackenberg and Dak Prescott for different reasons draft stock has dropped! Hackenberg who's former college coach has signed Brock Osweiler after many speculated that he and the Texans were the perfect match in the first or second round because of familiarity between the 2. Well not waiting on your former QB who played in your system in college is a red flag to everyone else also! Dak Prescott with sketchy details has allegedly been arrested for a DUI and that in itself has dropped his stock. As a QB and expected leader of the team decisions off the field factor into that evaluation process and this looks bad and drops him in my eyes

true dat!

Bukich now Wade! RIH both of you!

His numbers have been achieved as a change of pace and back up RB.He was behind Turner and I believe Norwood in Atl and he will be behind Langford and Carey here. IMO this is a good fit.

Not much injury history? Prior to coming to the Bears he was out of football for a year because of injury!

Agreed!

Yeah!

With this scheme what DL are you referring to? OLB? 1 tech? or 5 tech? With Ferguson coming back , Goldman, Unrein, what DL position are you looking at. I also forgot to mention Washington coming back also.

One mock I tried prior to this post; 1. Reggie Ragland ILB 2.Shon Coleman LOT 3. Will Redmond CB Miss St 4. Aaron Burbridge WR Mich St 5 Dak Prescott QB Miss 6 Victor Ochi OLB Stony Brook 7 David Morgan TE Texas San Antonio 8. Kevin Byard SS Middle Tenn 9. Daryl Worley CB West Va Instead of using rounds I just drop the pick number in. I hate compensatory picks because it rewards teams for not being able to keep players!

Your probably right, I got screwed up when the compensatory picks started to factor in at the end of the 3rd round!

Thank you and I did factor in FA while making my selections. I like Prescott and he is all over the board when it comes to his draft rankings. Whenever I do a mock I am hoping for it to fall that way!

Thank you and you can tell I looked at a few sites rankings before making my selections. I also have FA in mind also.As for the QB to wr conversion, Randle El, Hines Ward, Freddie Solomon, Marlon Briscoe,Marty Booker to name a few that have made a nice transition. I also remember Eric Kumerow starting his college career as a QB and ended up a defensive end. Terrelle Pryor stayed at QB and Matt Jones had a drug problem!

I'm trying to understand everyone's perspective but, WR was a problem area for this team last year! Does everyone remember when Alshon and Eddie Royal were hurt what was on the field? An inconsistent 7th round draft pick a reclamation project and a collection of UDFAs. If you are factoring Kevin White into the equation, think about it for a minute, he has pins or rods inserted in his shin to make him all better are you counting on that to be relieble opposite Off the field Jeffery!

After farting around with 3 different attempts I'm settling in on this version: 11. Reggie Ragland ILB Ala I feel that this is a historic franchise for LBs and I believe that this prospect fits that mode. 41. William Jackson CB Houston He measured bigger and ran faster at the Combine and reportedly the Bears have interest. Don't be shocked if the Bears trade up, back into the first round to snag a player they like. 72. Braxton Miller WR Ohio St. I have always liked guys who are willing to change a position for the good of the team and perform decent in the new position. I'm convinced that Eddie Royal was a bad signing and after him we have UDFA buffet. Add this prospect here and coach him up! RD 4. Spencer Drango OG Baylor Do I keep Long at RT or do I move him back inside? I say leave him outside with a full TC working on technique and bring Drango in to compete with Ducasse. Rd 5 1st pick. Dak Prescott Qb Ole Miss. This is a developmental pick with the idea that Jay will not play for ever and takes huge hits at times, I'm not sold on Fales as the primary backup and would like to add this prospect to the mix. Rd 5 2nd pick Willie Beavers OT Western Michigan I want to light a fire under CLjr's butt!Plus continue to bring youthful backups to the OL. Rd 6 pick 1 David Morgan TE Texas San Antonio Right now we have two TEs on the roster under contract, 1 wants to be elsewhere and the other is not an option in the passing game. Assuming that the recent reports that Bennett and his agent in conjunction with the Bears are trying to map out his exodus there needs to be a pick at that position made. Rd 6 pick 2 Joe Schobert OLB Wisconsin If nothing more than a special teamer I like how the Badger LBs have transitioned to the NFL at pick 2?? why not RD 7 Dadi Nicolas OLB Va. Tech Earl in the season if you asked me this guy may go undrafted I would have asked what you were smoking or drinking? Instead of competing with other teams for this prospect, why not draft him and see if he is motivated enough to prove everyone wrong!

Of the 3 mocks I've done Dadi Nicolas is our 7th round pick in 2 of them!

Are you including Cam Newton in this recent group or is he an old guy? Luck also struggled last year with play and injuries!

Agreed and we need someone coming off the edge that scares the crap out of our opponents! When you play 3/4 teams you look for their edge rusher no matter where he lines up. The Bears need that kind of guy.

So if Eddie Royal goes back to his old role of returning punts, this is still a bad idea?

Actually saw a mock that project Jackson to the Bears in rd 2.

This is a team that has historically prided itself on two positions RB and LB! That is why I have been championing the cause for Ragland be cause the last 2 times this drafted an ILB in the first 2 rounds they reach the Super Bowl! Singletary round 2 and Urlacher!

UDFA is the way to go!
