Well, it'd probably be for a QB like Flacco.

Our current OLine would make Mendenhall, or any skill guy we draft, ill.

Found this doing my usual rumor check... http://boards.chicagobears.com/forums/thread/979785.aspx Not from pick 14, but to pick 27 with the Chargers. Obviously we would not trade down with them due to the fact the Chargers only have one pick in the first 3 rounds. Any trade would either be our 44th pick and first 3rd rounder; or 44, our second 3rd rounder, and another little something, perhaps a future pick.

I wouldn't touch Baker before the 3rd round.

I'll go with Gholston. The Chiefs are high on Croyle, so no to Ryan. And they apparently really like Otah, but he'd likely be around at 17. CB is an option, and their preference is still probably to trade down, but Gholston would be a good fit for their Cover 2 D.

when's the deadline? I was planning on working on my final mock draft tomorrow, and not finish until around 10 a.m. Saturday...

I'm sorry, but he is a fool. I can't stand him. I can say something 1 minute, and if I hear him say the same thing, I usually have a reversal in my opinion.

Well, I hate the Sun Times for political reasons, lol...

I hate the Sun-Times, and I especially hate that idiot Mariotti.

If both Clady and Albert are gone by 14, I honestly have no problem with Mendenhall... but then we have to move up back into the first (probably Steelers spot), and grab one of Otah or Cherilus (one of them should still be there).

Kiper is a douche, but he is smart and is a decent talent evaluator. McShay though is a doofus.

My guess on the 10 "special" players are Ryan, McFadden, Dorsey, Long, Long, Gholston, Albert, Ellis, Clady, and Mendenhall. Other possibilities are Harvey, Williams, and perhaps McKelvin or Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

Why would we draft a 3-4 NT in Rubin? Besides the 1st rounder, that would be a pretty terrible draft... Johnson and Caldwell are decent picks, but other then that, McShay is still an idiot. EDIT: and Chad Rinehart would be a nice steal in the 5th, even though he'll probably be gone before then.

McShay is an idiot, and in no way deserves to be listened to. Case closed.

He ain't leaving Arizona... this is fantasy talk going on in here.

useless signing. 3 years, 5.5 million for him? You gotta be kidding me. This guy is a below average to average receiver, and a decent return guy. We can get a guy at half the price. I like him, but this is a stupid way to spend the money.

Hundreds of thousands of young football players would love to play for the Bears...

1st and both 3rd rounders.... Damn, once you think the Vikings front 7 can't get any better, they do this. On the bright side, perhaps this leads to KC passing on Albert, and leading to the trio of Albert, Williams, and Clady all being there at no. 12. Hell, I'm not so sure Denver will take a tackle, and we could possibly get one of Albert or Clady at 14, depending on who Carolina picks!

who the hell voted Matt Ryan? What, are they planning on shifting JaMarcus Russell to DE or something?

Vernon Gholston. I doubt they go with McFadden mainly because their need at the DLine and a for an elite pass rusher is much greater then their need at RB. And they signed Fargas, and still have Jordan, Rhodes, and Bush all still on the roster. Plus, Vernon Gholston is a physical freak, which Al Davis likes.

no, he wouldn't add anything.

I made my post on Soxtalk, but I would be extremely interested.

I say you change the default, because while you can manually change it, new members and not all posters will know about that option to increase it. Plus, with the draft this weekend, we are bound to have new thread after new thread.

Dorsey by far... now the rumor on the street is that the Rams are looking to trade down with the Jets because they want Ryan. If the Rams cannot trade down, they are said to be focusing their attention on Dorsey. These rumors change everyday...

I think Gholston, but there has been more and more chatter that Chris Long is a lock for the Rams.
