Jon Bostic, LB, Florida, selected at #50
Bostic is not a bad pick. The question I have is which position will he fill for the future?

I liked what I saw from Bostic at the combine but I don't know if he's a MLB. I can't believe they passed on Arthur Brown.. Brown might not be a MLB either, but I believe he's a better prospect.

It'll probably be some guy I've never heard of, but Emery did draft Alshon Jeffery in the 2nd last year, so there is a little hope.

Kevin Minter gone. Crap. Would the Bears go Matt Barkley if he's there?

Great pick for San Francisco. The rich get richer. Carradine is a steal.

Who's available in the 2nd (#50)
Honey Badger wasn't a 1st round pick.

Who's available in the 2nd (#50)
Right, but it wasn't before he decided to royally freak up his professional baseball career by getting kicked out of school because of drug abuse and eligibility issues. Had his last name not been Long, I have my doubts that he would have been thought of this highly. Hard to imagine you could get much out of watching those 5 games of film at Oregon.

Nothing says a great pick like a 1st round, 24 year old project, with minimal experience and a history of underachieving.

Who's available in the 2nd (#50)
Day 2 needs be better than Day 1, because Day 1 couldn't have gotten much worse.

You would think they'd target a LB in the 2nd round now, but after today, and last year's draft, I honestly have no idea what to expect. What I wouldn't do is draft a quarterback in the 2nd, so that's probably what he's going to do.
-
ya know what,
He sure as hell better start. He's going to be 25 damn years old.

I hope we go LB in the 2nd round, but our pick at 20 doesn't exactly instil much confidence in me. Guessing we'll take a quarterback. Tyler Bray or Mike Glennon. It's very true.

Kyle Long will be 25 in December. He made 4 starts at Oregon, and also has a history of off-field issues to boot. So we just drafted an old, projected 2nd round pick with the #20 overall pick, who also happens to not be anywhere close to a finished product at that age.

They had to be, given how they left so many good, talented prospects on the board to take him.

It's scary.

The kid from Alabama would have been an infinitely better pick than Kyle Long, and I didn't even want him. This pattern of reaching is not good for Emery. His tenure will not last long if Long or McClellin don't pan out.

Lol. And he's a 24 year old project.. Good god.

I should just not ever watch the Bears pick in the 1st round anymore, because 90% of the time, it's a bad pick. Now Atlanta trades up in the draft... Jesus Christ Emery. You had Eiffert, Ogletree, Brown, Te'o, Floyd and you went with another developmental project?!

Long didn't belong in the 1st round, period.
-
Official 2013 NFL Draft Thread
They could have easily traded back to get this kid in the 2nd round.

What a horrendous pick. This guy was a late 2nd rounder. Emery's draft picks have been highly questionable.

I really don't want Floyd, but if he's there, I bet that's who the Bears take.. DT doesn't really do anything for me.

Both guards gone before the 11th pick. You won't see that again anytime soon. No Quarterbacks taken in the top 10 either. This is a weird ass draft.
-

How does that make you soft? Weak? Yes. His style of play suggests that he's anything but soft. He's all over the field, hitting quarterbacks, forcing fumbles, making plays.. He'll play nickel and return kicks, and if I had to make a bet, I would bet on him being really good at both.

Again.. If he can get past the drug issues (which is a major if) I have no reason to believe he won't be an extremely successful player at the NFL level. His return skills will allow him to make an instant impact to whichever team takes a chance on him. I don't see him as a soft player at all.
