First of all, there is no way you though Bowers would drop that far. He has injury issues or he wouldnt be there. All we need is a failed injured 1st round pick, because you liked him, deal with it. Carmi is needed and to save our Cutler, or who ever is on defense wouldnt matter.

Watkins will start from day one, I will take 6 or 7 years from a good player than somebody sitting for 3 years and then be average. He will never make it to our 2 nd round pick.

If you think trading down is a good idea, just where we traded out of and could have got and then the results of those picks. It doesnt look very pretty.

I like the picks other than the cb but no way Watkins in there in 2 or Carpenter is there in 3.

Heres my shot at prosperity. 1st-Danny Watkins/OG/Baylor A day one starter and someone you can build your future with. 2nd-Drake Nevis/DT/LSU A perfect fit for our defense, in rotation at begining of season. 3rd-Buster Skine/CB/Tenn-Chat A good valve here with potenial to start in a couple of years. 4th-Doug Hogue/LB/Syr Potenial down the road and immediate ST contributer 5th-/Linnerhohl/OC/Ore state Kreutz replacement in another year 6th-Enderle/QB/Idaho Someone for Martz to play with.

I dont like the idea of trading down. The 29th will be hard to find a rookie as a starter anywhere, let alone lower. If were lucky 3 years from now will have 4 starters in this group, and maybe above average talents. I dont like the rest of the draft at thos spots. You have Franklin overrated but Nevis is a good pick in the second.

I think we will draft maybe two OL, and one in FA. So If C. Williams doesnt show any improvement, dumb his ass, we could use that money somewhere else. I think the OL will have 2 new guys and Webb, Kreutz and Garza. If Garza cant cut it, I would say Louis gets another chance.

unless your drafting at the front of the 1st round it is hard to have a rookie start and make a solid contribution, but Watkins is one that could start day one, of which we need out of our 1st round pick. It may be to early at 29 but he is rated on big boards at about 33 so I say if our left tackle propects are off the board, taking him would give us a starter with that pick in an area of need. You wait and see and NE will pick him, and they have a history of making solid picks.

I would take Green as will be a star, and can get a valved DT down the draft, as wont be getting a stud WR there.

We do need a wr, but a DT and offensive line is much more important. I think another CB is in order and then a WR

like your picks,just dont think nevis therein 3rd

I think after the first 2 wrs, there is a big dropoff, so maybe a 3rd or 4th round pick at wr. I would think we have options in FAengy if the right person isnt there for us in the draft. FAgency looks to me like the talk of Jenkins from GB, a OG, and a WR as there is several out there.

Well since Jerry likes to do this, try this scenerio. Denver trades there 2 2nd round picks to Chi for 29th and 3th round pick. With the 36th pick the Bears pick Sherrod/LT/Miss S With the 46th pick the Bears take Baldwin/WR/Pitt With the 62nd pick the Bears select McClain/DT/SF Denvers reasoning is with Elway taking over running the team, Already have stated franchize qb not on roster. Have had a private workout with Locker and starts his run as GM with a prospect he can sink his teeth into. With 2 1sts and 2 3rds, they fill there needs with a DT, QB, OLB and SS. The Bears get players that might not be there in the 3rd. With the 4th pick take Skine/CB/T-C with the 5th pick they take Linnerholm/OC/Ore S with the 6th pick they take Williams/OLB/SF.

I dont think Nevis will be there in the third so you will have to take him in the second. Linnenkohl will be a great pick for all I have read about him.

that is a very realistic draft, on what actually might happen. I would try to get Greg Little, WR, North Car in the third as I dont know much about the one you picked.

I think if OT Carmi, Solder, or OG Pouncey are there at our pick they we take them. If one of them are available and Luiget DT or Paea DT are there also, then who will we pick? If both DTs or OLs are at that pick we want, which way will we go in the first round? OL because we have a better chance that a Nevis DT or McClain DT wll be there in the second? Or a DT and hope that a D. Love OT or Ijalana OT will be there in the second? I havent figured out if we get what we want in the first, which way we will go.

As of right now, nothing seems different. Its a hibernation time with the draft a month away. It will change for me starting in June, when there is no activity and the weathers nice, and I can get distracted with music and food and hopefully the White Sox are on a roll.

from what I read they went to look at him, but very possible checking an unfamilar name out instead. Just thought odd that all 3 went to look at someone.

All three attended USFs pro day who had McClain DT as the main attraction. When is the last time all three went somewhere together? Sounds like major interest. He's 6'1" 300 lbs, 4.8 in the 40. Had 4 TFL and 4 sacks. Athletic but not productive. Only had 24 tackles. Not worthy of a high pick IMO. Was ranked 13rh in PFW draft book. I would be ok with this pick in the 4th or maybe 3rd, but sounds like alot of work and project.

More to add: The Bears were at SIUs pro day looking at a CB-Korey Lindsey and ILB Franklin. Lindsey is ranked 29th CB in pro footbally weekly. A small guy and not a good tackler, perfect for us. Franklin is ranked 23rd on GBNorths site, 6' 240" with 4.55 speed. Sounds like a late round pick. Miami-Florida pro day we were there with several CB prospects and Hanrkerson WR working out. We attended M. Tenn S pro day looking at Tarver OLB a 6'3" 236lb 4.65 speed. Cant find him on any lists.

A-Bear might be on to something. A, Lovie, and Marinelli all attended McClains pro day. How often has all three of them been in the same place at the same time.

When we do the mock draft contest, dont want any of you guys stealing my picks. rd 1) Watkins/OG/TCU rd 2) Nevis/DT/LSU rd 3) Patrick/CB/Lou rd 4) Pettis/WR/Boise S rd 5) linnerholt/C/ Ore S rd 6) Yates/QB/NC probably more of what I want than they will do. But hope they just pick the BPA, as is the best way to do it.

Tenn-chat/DB/ Skriner works out for Hoke. Sounds like what we would do with our 3rd or 4th round pick. My only problem with him would be at least a 6' at that spot. He is only about 5' 10".
