That was nice tape for a non football player. The combine snubbed him so he got lost in transition. These are the types that start in 2 yrs and play 10.

We do have a lot of depth at CB, barring injury, PS

People like to say same old Bears but they are not. New blood, hopefully different results.

I like surprises,he could be the daring of the draft. All big 10 2 yrs in a row does not scream failure. He fits what we need, physical running in short yardage situations. Pass blocks well and NO fumbles in his career.

I have no idea about this player but they do. Pundits didn't have him on their radar but after his pro day, some teams did. Interesting to see this play out.

I hope you're wrong. To many people think because they didn't draft who they wanted, bad draft. We got 4 good players that can help this team. Actually the first two could be future pro bowl types. Both scenarios could turn out good. They know what they have here, we try to guess what's good and bad. It's something no one knows on the day the draft ended.

Trapilo is a RT but they may try him there. People base the draft on weaknesses they think the bears have. I would say maybe they like the roster better than you think . They let the draft fall to them. Once Skattebo was picked, they traded back. They had a backup plan knowing he would probably not be picked. I think the edge I thought they would take, Swinson got picked right before their pick, moved back. I think Turner plays more outside than inside. I also think Dexter may see some snaps outside. As rostered are developed and players are cut , we may add a few cheap additions during the training season. The roster is never done moving forward. If Newman is a good player it may allow us to cut Bates, 4 mil cap savings. You left out Stromberg but if healthy could get a roster spot. Our WR and TE has a lot of talent now and I think Johnson wants them for chess pieces to attack defenses. Last year Detroit scored 70tds. If Johnson sniffs even in that area that means Caleb is swinging it and we have a lot of wins.

He's the same size as Jeanty and the same speed as David Montgomery. Pacheco surprised the NFL maybe Kyle does too.

I think DA has a big influence on this pick. Like you said can move around to any DL spot. I think he ends up playing more outside than inside. Dayo can play inside. Once this puzzle gets put together it may look much different than it does now. I think this draft does say this coaching staff likes the roster better than the fans do.

Easy to say same old Bears but in fact it's not. Johnson and DA clearly influenced this draft. If you thought those were good gets then maybe you let this play out. We are a losing franchise always hoping to get better, every year is a walking on eggshells kind of year. This is a bad spot to judge the season because they didn't draft who you liked. Off-season was very positive and they definitely drafted 4 good football players. As Adam pointed out they didn't draft anyone I liked but I'm not pretending to be smarter than their scouting Dept. Apparently most of you are . I'm a hope for the best person and willing to let it play out. Have fun wallowing around in your misery.

I would be willing to say, no one had any of these players on their radar, so what's your point? I take that back,dawhizz mentioned Burden.

If someone listed his bio without giving his name, people would be liking the team captain stuff, 4.4 speed, high football IQ but because all the football pundits don't give him attention, it's a terrible pick. Did people rave about Sanborn when he came here, no.

When you never have heard about someone, you automatically dismiss him. If you watching film, you will understand why they took him

Late round picks is where you take non prefect players. Harris recommended him. Has traits NFL teams love, speed and size.

Most people looked at Swift as a nobody. The coaches disagreed. They weren't looking for a load type back, they wanted a Montgomery type of back. No fumbles, great pass blocker, hard runner, a short yardage guy. He was all big ten 2 yrs in a row. Let's see him on the field before I bad mouth this pick. He's a violent runner.

With new coaches in place, we now get to see if things are different. It's about this season, if we keep living in the past, we will never feel good about anything. I don't have a choice, I hate living with no hope.

They are targeting people, we have to see what they have . I read he has 4.42 speed. These picks aren't going to be starters, people to develop.

I seen several podcasts where some said he has the talent to end up being the best WR on a team in a few years.

I think they don't want a distraction with all the Sanders show he will bring for a backup QB.

They target players they may want. Do not sit on Brashard Smith or Jayden Blue. I would like Damien Martinez.

You're right it is a mute point,not any different from saying they would have taken if he was available. I think Johnson's plan was to add playmakers over the trenches. Taking 2 weapons with their first 2 picks. We are guessing at their evaluation of the team, so everyones opinion is valid.

With a new coaching staff he'll get his shot but they add depth to not have to count on him.i hope he shines and becomes part of the rotation.

I think the draft has given us some insight into their opinion of the team. It seems they didn't deem LT as a must get priority as a lot of fans have. As I said before, they will let Braxton and Kiran compete and bring a player in to develop because Braxton probably won't be here next year. Johnson talked many times about weapons and clearly added 2 with a RB left to get. He plans on playing chess with our offense and added players he can do that with. They didn't seem to think S and LB needed attention as they added no one in Free agency or in the draft so far. Anyone now would be developmental. I think RB and DE will be addressed in the 4th round. Hopefully Jack Sawyer and Cam Skattebo would make me happy.

I do because I find it odd for someone to say a person was shy and insecure at a news brief. Those are things you say when you give a job interview .

Just goes to show you pundits don't have any clue what teams want to do. I listened to a lot of live podcasts today and it's amazing how many have big egos. Hoge was talking about a couple picks and made statements like so and so was on the board and they should have took him instead ( I had him rated higher). They think they're smarter than a scout department. Two thinks I thought they would do in the draft was build the trenches and get us a weapon. Come to find out weapons were higher on the list. Loveland was highly rated so that was understood but Luther was totally unexpected. He was rated a first round pick by some. They may just have picked BPA at that point. I expected them to trade back. They grabbed a LT and DL. Reading about Turner, he played 2yrs outside before putting on 20 lbs to move inside. I think DA sees him as being able to play both giving him flexibility. Now we have an extra 4th round pick. 109+148. I think that will be a DE and RB. Jack Sawyer or Bradeyn Swinson for DE. Cam Skattebo or Damien Martinez would work as RBs for me. They looked at Brashard Smith and jaylon Blue also.
