DABEARSDABOMB

We were deep at guard and technically center, but I always thought Slauson, outside of Long was the best of the bunch. Have to be more behind this and it sounds like there were some injury concerns?

So long is going to lt, right?

In no particular order, I think we will go qb, rb, db, and te with our next four picks.

Bears get 2 4th's (one this year and one next year) and move down 8 spots. That is legit.

Bears trade down with Bills.

If we are going 5T, at least one of those guys will be there when the Bears pick. And Giants are only team ahead of Bears who might take a RB.

Damn Chiefs took someone I'm sure the Bears were looking for.

And they have a young QB who has been improving. They are definitely headed in the right direction.

I think he's a solid pick cause he's the best player in the draft healthy. However, the Cowboys have a ton of need, but it still comes down to where guys rate on the draft board. Miami is moving up to pick a RB. Guaranteed.

Well, given I was not a big fan of Henry, I am fine that he is off the board. I think we are going to go with the Bama Dlineman or the Miss State dlineman.

Jaylon Smith to the Boys.

You are probably right (I figure S / RB / DL are the direction we go, although I suppose they could go Hunter Henry since we clearly have a TE need...I just see the fact that his weakness is run blocking and I am a skeptic on that). I just wonder where we have him on our board. I fully expect us to grab one of the big Dlineman if they are on the board. But maybe they view the depth there as still strong later on and instead we opt for another position.

Would you all take Myles if he was on the board?

DE from OSU. Good...not one of the guys I had targeted.

I think we go with a big interior dlineman, RB, or safety.

Or safety. Either way, I can't blame Pace. I'd have freaking loved ramsey.

Jason...you are a convincing...you sold me.

They just traded Johnathan Cooper to the Pats (former 1st round pick who sucked) and last years first round pick was inactive the whole year. People would be calling for Pace's head if he had those type of 1st round failures.

I don't think they are even comparable backs. Elliot is so much more talented. Huge gap . I also have limited faith in the ability to truly evaluate a Bama back. They play behind massive lines and thus you really have a hard time being able to see if they truly can deal with the size of holes and gaps in the NFL. Elliot was so freaking complete. A lot of really successful people rated him as the best back to be out in years. You have the guy who had Faulk compare him with Faulk. Comparisons to Ladamian Tomilson.

I agree and when I think of Houston and Young, while I think they are both effective players, neither of them have a ton of speed and given the era of passing and the need for the LB's to cover, speed is king, and I want to see this d loaded with athletes. Plus, McPhee has had injuries in his career and its the NFL, guys will get hurt...really like this pick and I still would be fully on board with Jack or Smith (albeit, would not be okay taking Smith in the 2nd). I presume we will see Bears go Dline in the 2nd, but you have to wonder if they look RB or QB or S.

Dang...I was fully on Nkemdiche board. Shoot. Now I'm thinking our most likely pick would be Von Bell, safety from OSU. I think he'd look really good on the Bears.

I would hate that pick.

Very much a lot of boom / bust risk here.

Remember, Giants wanted him and we clearly had him above other people as well. Compare what we gave up to move up vs. what the Titans gave up (they gave up a 2nd rounder plus and got Conklin).

Ashawn would be awesome too or Jack. I am pretty sure Nkemdiche would be there and I agree with you, I'd love for them to add another athlete.
