The work ethic comment is odd coming from a coach's son. The lack of blocking is just something that will come over time. I am not too worried. I think all players come out of the draft with questions, and if these are the only two, I'll take them.

Didn't know his brother was a QB and was trying out with the Bears. Good to hear the comment about being in camp. Hate to see holdouts. Olsen interview: http://video.nbc5.com/player/?id=97215

If he makes the team, that would be a formidable tandem returning Kickoffs. Kick left and you get Hester, kick right and you get Graham. Choose your poison NFL.

I was actually surprised that SD did that move. Very unlike them.

Do you really think he would get the season? Wow. None of his charges were as bad as Pac-man's rap sheet, and they were probably closer to where Chris Henry's were. My guess is 6-8.

I beg to differ on the Wolfe pick. He holds the NCAA record for yds per carry, and is 3rd all time in yds per game. You cannot do that at a DIV-I school and be mediocre. There have been several smaller backs that were successful in the NFL (B. Sanders, M. Faulk, etc), but the difference is Wolfe is very fast. He may not possess the raw skills of Sanders or Faulk, but he can run. Everyone has their opinion on players, but how many of these guys actually watched these players play? I have seen Wolfe play and he will be a very solid compliment to Benson's running style (even more than TJ). 171 rushing and 114 receiving yds (285 total yds) at Ohio St as a Senior is pretty impressive. He is not an every down back, but I could see him with 10 rushes and 2-3 receptions a game. He will be really effective out of the shotgun using the draw.

It was amazing how Olsen was our pick for about 2 months, but then the consensus shifted towards LB and Beason. Funny how things work.

Draft Grades (from Yahoo Sports): FoxSports: Looks like the consensus is a "C" grade. I would say it is a B- at the lowest.

That is true, which is equivalent to a mid-7th rounder! YES!

So now he is finally straight from all his Pac-man-itis. He has a 45 day sentence for the weapons charge that will be served concurrently with the 4-month sentence for the probation violation. Now I am curious about how long the commish will give him for these incidents? 2 games? 4 games? 6 games? 8 games? I don't see it being more than that, but you never know.

It was corrected in the original post.

Correct. More specifically, they got Wolfe, Payne, and a 3rd rounder in 2008. SD gave a lot up to get Weddle.

He is?

I just love the fact that the Bears have two consecutive picks coming up. Since they already went DL, do they go OL, LB, S, or maybe RB? Tyler off the board.

It might come down to salaries and contracts. Ogunleye makes more than the entire Defensive Line, it will more than likely be him.

Yeah, they talked about Briggs and Tank more than the draft picks, thanks ESPN.

There is actually a lot of info on Bazuin surprisingly. He may be a sleeper pick. Here is an article about him, his brother attempted suicide and the family took him off life support, so he took that really hard (like most would). http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news?slug=jm...o&type=lgns

Ugh, WTF. He is 266, that is not a DT.

I was just thinking the same thing. With today's technology, they don't need this much time to make picks and trades. This is all for freaking tv ratings.

He is now.

What do you guys think about Leonard from Rutgers?

12 picks before the Bears 2nd rounder. Available: Ryan Kalil C USC Eric Wright CB UNLV Steve Smith WR USC Marcus McCauley CB FRESNO ST Trent Edwards QB STANFORD Ray McDonald DE FLORIDA Tim Crowder DE TEXAS Brian Leonard FB RUTGERS Josh Wilson CB MARYLAND Charles Johnson DE GEORGIA

I hope they use one of the 5th rounders to move up in the 3rd. Oh ok, yeah I had reservations about him, and based on the Bears not picking him at 37, they did too.
