I've also seen him listed as a FB. Him and Benson may provide that 1-2 punch that they missed without TJ.

I think people get wrapped around the axle about these player rankings. Forte was rated between the 6th - 10th best RB, and he was the 6th RB taken. Ray Rice and Kevin Smith were available, but Forte was faster and has no character issues. They obviously were not targeting Brohm or Henne. I'm sure once Flacco was gone, they changed their focus. Also looks like their will still be some value WRs available in the 3rd.

Forte videos:

The Bears must have felt that Forte would not be there at 70, while others on their board would be. I can see them going WR at 70 with Doucet.

I think the best thing to do is wait and see on this pick. I don't necessarily like the pick, but it is not terrible either.

There are a ton of RBs that fit that profile. LT played for TCU. Westbroook, Villanova - 3rd round. Willie Parker, undrafted. Brandon Jacobs, SIU, 4th round

It does look bad in Firefox (which is all I use). I thought IE was the browser that was not compliant with WC3 standards?

Only 2, which will make the 3rd round uber interesting tomorrow with a night for teams to re-evaluate their boards.

At least he would put a fire under Benson's ass.

Great time to move up with one of those 3rds and snag Brohm.

Draft notes on Tomlinson:

If a move up gets us Clady or Albert, I am all for it. However, if those two are gone, then I would hang tight at 14.

?????

I agree, let's end it now and call it a success. It took 11 days for Round 1 and 8 days for Round 2, so I don't think we will get very deep into Round 3 by tomorrow.

Per Rotoworld:

The thing I have read just says "medical reasons". It could just be a tactic to get him to drop.

I am more concerned about the ankle than anything. If Benson has lost a step, that makes the blockers have to hold their blocks that much longer. It might only be a split second, but the game is so fast now that one step could mean the difference between a 5 yard gain and a 2 yard loss.

I just can't see the Bears selecting Williams or Otah over Mendenhall. Williams now had health concerns and Otah has been dropping.

Pretty good info. The Cherilus over Otah thing is interesting too. Makes it seem more like Mendenhall at #14 if Clady and Albert are gone - or trading down.

This is where it gets tricky. I would think it would be Ellis now that Robertson is traded and Dorsey/McFadden/Gholston are off the board.

Mine sent. Should be fun. Thanks DABEARSDABOMB!

A Ditka flat top would've been cool.
