One of Rodgers former teammates said this has been going on for several years. He has the power to force a trade if this just isn't a money grab and is a big enough tool to make it happen.

If I remember correctly, I think 1/3 of all rosters in the NFL are UDFAs. I could have that percentage wrong but I know it's very high.

For having low picks, Pace did well. A CB capable of making the roster, a punt returner, a kickoff return guy, a backup NT, another OT. I have seen some boards that had Herbert as the 5th best RB. Konga had 13 knocked down passes, amazing for a fat guy. The last couple of drafts, Pace has did well.

I would suspect most GMs have that syndrome, that's how they got there jobs to be begin with. I would have loved Radunz and Rodgers but it takes 3 yrs to know if a draft works out and I didn't get to choose. I'm not a Pace lover by any count but I do hope what he does works out because I'm a bears lover. Because I would prefer a new GM that doesn't mean I want him to fail in his roster building. I love the Jenkins pick and think Fields ends up being a keeper. So I hope success with everything we do this year. As far as GMs go, he is in the middle of success and failures if you're rating them, it's just easier to remember what he fails at.

Fields is the second best QB in this draft and Jenkins is a day one starter with all pro potential. I seen a study of RAS , a athletic rating for players, where Jenkins scored 30th out of 1126 OTs taken since 1987. He is a special player. Besides that, he is a killer, watch some tape on him. He has 2 negative plays out 1127 snaps last year. More than anything he will give our line some attitude. I liked players like kreutz and Kyle Long that are physical and want to hurt you on the field. He will upgrade the whole line with his attitude. Now if Pace can grab some WR talent and a CB prospect, we will have a very successful draft. The draft so far has given us 2 top 20 players, that doesn't happen very often.

I agree we need to add more pieces, but don't think we need more IOL. Whitehair and Daniels can play, still some questions on Mustipher but Olin Kreutz is all in on him and he should know. IFEDI, Barr, and Wilkinson can play inside which gives us enough depth and upside to not have to worry about those positions right now. Could we upgrade their, yes, but we have other needs more pressing. Another OT absolutely.

Jenkins has played left tackle before and in his interview has been practicing LT and OC during the off season. I think he may very well could be put there especially if they draft another OT. He could be a special player, may be able to play anywhere.

I always thought Goodwin always played the slot but after he came here was checking him out and the majority of his reps have been outside. Has great vertical speed but not good with short area quickness. Something slot guys usually have for traits. Him, Mooney and even Robinson has played the slot .

I totally see Cohen playing 80% of snaps as a slot WR if he doesn't find us a slot WR. We have D. Williams now who is a good player.

He did all of this with the idea of a WR he liked that might be available later. He will get us one some how. Mooney was a 5th round pick, Wims was a 7th.

We need to keep in mind 2 oline players last year were UDFAs. If the draft gets away from us, we still can find players. Barr and Mustipher are nice oline pieces. Also in assessing the Jenkins pick, he brings an attitude of kreutz and Long of which this oline is missing. If we have to gain a yard, I know who they will be running over. He will solidify our oline for yrs to come. No more guessing at RT going forward.

Pace may have gambled at the right part of the draft. There was a run on OTs after that.

Maybe they try Miller one more time but his fight at the end of the year may have showed him the door. Actually Mooney and Goodwin play outside and Miller was the slot WR. Also don't forget, I suspect Cohen could be the slot WR going forward.

We have like 10 CBs on the roster. I think the law of averages, one of them will step up and play well with Johnson. I think Shelly or Vidor has the NB spot filled. Tre Robinson had high hopes until an injury took him out of last year. If healthy trufant can play well. The defense will be just fine, bring in offensive players.

They don't have a clue on what's going on with the bears. They look at the roster and see a UDFA is starting at OC and figure it's a need. Is Mustipher better than average? We don't know but Kreutz and Tom Thayer likes him so I'm going with their opinions.

Don't forget trading Anthony Miller is still in play, maybe Miller and the 5th to go up in the 4th? One thing is for sure, Pace will always surprise us.

I hate giving away draft picks but I can't argue with the 2 players we have. When it's over we can be optimistic about who we have or complain that we gave up draft picks. I prefer to make myself happy since we won't know how this draft turns out for a couple of years.

In 3 yrs your question will be answered . He will find away to grab a WR that will compete. That will make this draft an overwhelming success.

I don't like giving away draft picks but getting 2 of the top 20 players in the draft is a good score. Potential franchise QB and potential all pro RT. This draft will be looked backed on as one of Paces best drafts.

What do you base that on? Hard to say how someone develops but nothing says either of them are going to fail by their careers so far. Two things I like about Fields is his work ethic and love of football. Some players just play for the money, he legitimately loves the game. Plays hurt and was the person responsible for getting the Big 10 to actually play this year. 4.4 speed doesn't hurt either.

As much as I would give our whole draft to see that happen, it ain't happening. If he cries to much, they will just give him more money to shut up.

In this order; Jenkins Cosmi Radutz Eichenberg Christensen Forsythe Little Carmen I would say Cosmi-Radutz- Eichenberg ( one of them ) should be there. Otherwise in the third Christensen- Forsythe- Little.

I hated the idea of trading up for a QB but , at 11, being able to keep 2nd and 3rd round pick will still fill some needs to make the team better. Fields is the second best QB in this draft and to be able to get him at 11 with only giving away one first round pick and a 5, 4 next year i is great. This could be our franchise QB. After reading about him, I love the pick. He was responsible for getting the big 10 to play football this year. He is a hard worker and loves the game. Him and Lawrence were the top 2 ranked players coming out of high school that .year. production?? 67 TDs- 9 interceptions. 19 on the ground with 4.4 speed. After all these years this could be the one.

Where the problem comes in , they all are treated the same, they don't know which ones will succeed or fail.
