I agree that we had other needs before TE, but Emery drafted him, so he is here, lets see what he's got. It is a risk as all draftees are, but it aint my paycheck if he fails, I'm all in.

I was being Sarcastic, I personally dont think he is special, but with a little growth, Evan R. might become a better TE than Davis.

I looked up everything I could fine on Brown and his future looks up for him. On different websites, he was rated 102,95,182,and 105 best player in the draft. Being a 3rd to 4th round grade on most websites, I would have to kinda include him as a potential player even thou a UFA. His knock is lack of elite competition and needs to be stronger. He looked good at Senior Bowl against better competition, and I know we can get him stronger, so we may have added some OL help.

I ve been a Bears fan since Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers got me interested in football. My handle comes from being a Scorpio-stinger?

Matt Bowen had an article on him in the NFP and I am reading he had a 4th round grade, so it wasnt a reach. AND we do need a pass catching TE, especially if the great Kellen Davis doent pan out. His comparisions to Hernnadaz is because he is the same size and speed. With you have to understand is everybody not in the top 10 players in the draft have question marks about them, later rounds have more the deeper you get. Go back and read about Brady drafted in the 6th round, he did to, he turned out OK.

How about a suprize, with Carimi, Rachel,Garza,Louis, C. Williams. I know it sounds stupid, but it may be our best option.

If everything works out right we have Marshall,Jeffery,Bennett,Hester, Thomas, and Weems and I think that Summers/UFA sounds interesting. Then we might have a pass catching TE in Evan R. and I would have to say with Forte, Bush, we might have something happening in the Offensive Firepower category . We move C. Williams to LT or swing tackle, with the addition of Rachel, we might be ok at OL, at least up the middle,and we good to go. Can you imagine a red zone offense with Davis , Jeffery, and Marshall with Forte to throw to, you got something going.

To get a 3th round grade on a UFA, at least we can say, (we kinda addressed the OL)

What makes it interesting is he has a plan and pick what he thought was best for the team, not what was expected. He's not done and we have to see how everthing translates on the field, but have to say he has balls to do his thing.

Thats a good catch, I was trying to be clever and an attempt at humor at the same time.

None of us on here are pro scouts or work for a NFL team so we have to take our opinions as little valve in the scheme of things. The draft always intrigues me and spend a lot of time checking out draft sites, mock drafts,ect. and would have made different choices at every point of the draft, but it is like a hobby for me and not my job. I have liked what Emery has done in FAgency and will have to give him the benefit of the doubt and wait and see how this draft class turns out. McCellin-I as well as others seen him in a OLB spot but that doenst mean he cant play DE in a down position, What I like, his name is easy to spell, football instincts, high motor, speed, football skills. A lot to like as a football player. It will be interesting to see how this pans out. Jeffery- I liked other WRs better but after reading more about him, I can see him becoming a #1 WR eventually. He can catch the ball and has great skill set where this could be the best pick of our draft.It is all up to his work ethic and what we can get out of him. Hardin-He has everything going for him to be a impact player at this level but his injury history is of concern. As a third rounder, if healthy could be a real steal. Rodriguez- If Emery has some kind of vision, this pick could turn into some kind of weapon. You send Marshall, and Jeffery down field, with Bennett crossing the middle, and have Evan hitting the seam, I can see big things coming from him. At just under 6-2 that sounds short for a TE but if he was considered a WR that would be considered good height, but his skill set is interesting. Frey- Might be able to stick but gives competition to the position, at best a STs player McCoy- Hard to read what valve you get out of these late round picks. We still have UFAs to deal with and another run of NFL players that will be dropped due to new draftees, so his work isnt done yet. The only thing that bothers me is not addressing the OLine, so his first draft will be graded on how these players contribue and what Tice does with the OLine and I can say, on paper we are a much better team going forward.

It is nice to read some positive ideas after spending a few days with this sorry group.

From the outside the draft looks like a C-, but what I like is it looks like he has a plan, and that was to get some weapons for Cutler and has done that with the offseason and draft. I didnt like that we didnt address the OLine, but the picks were suprizing and interesting. As we know we cant grade this draft for a couple of years, but am interested in how better our team can be going forward. Emery is suppose to be a draft guru so I will have to say, I think he show balls for the moves he has made.

I agree with some of your concerns, but statements like a "fifth round pick" are just lame.

I read good things and bad things, so we will have to see how this plays out.

this aint the JA picking factory, Emery strong suit is drafting, so lets see what all of these players turn out to be. I would have made other choices, but after reading about him, he sounds like he could turn out to be Aaron Hernandaz. Who is 6-1 245, same size as Evan. I think he can line up as a H back, two TE sets and could be a real gem if every thing turns out right. I will give him the benefit of doubt and be anxious to see.

I would be liking moving up and give some later picks away, but for who? I think Massie is a high rated player worth doing that for.

I think we had a lot to whine and cry about because JA was doing the drafting, since we have a new guy, lets give him a shot and whine and cry if we dont like the results. As far as FAgency, I give him a good grade, so I will wait and see on the drafted players turn out.

Here are the BPA at spots we still need to upgrade, that should go early in the first round. Massie/LT Boykin/CB Crick/DE-DT Dennard/CB Randall/DT Charles/TE Green/TE We still have a chance to get one of these players, probably a TE?

I am not sure there are any drafable players in the OL that could come in an start other than Massie who will be long gone before we pick.

There are still a few DTs left that could be situational contributers. Daniels/Iowa, and Howard/ Fl,Randle/Tex, and Harris /USC

I think all of our picks have some risks, but like you, the more I read, the more I get on board for the moment.

Are the last three picks on this list?

Emery said that Jeffery was the BPA on their board when they moved up to draft him. I have to give him credit to draft who he wants instead of appeasing draftniks (me included) that think there were better choices out there.The most interesting off season I can remember, and still more to come.

Brought this to the forefront to help people see facts they dont normally use for their arguments.
