Landon and than La'el.

I thought I was about to read a suggestion of trading up for Landon.

 

 

No; I think La'el would be a fantastic value pick and worth the risk in the 3rd. I say this because he tried to do the right things subsequent. Asked NFL to pull him from this draft so he can be in the supplemental and is now telling teams if you don't draft him today, he will sit out and re-enter draft. Why, because he is extremely confident in his innocence and the fact that everything will be very clear after he meets w/police on Monday (and after that, he will go back to being a #1 pick vs. potentially not getting drafted).

 

You do run the risk that he somehow did it and there are other skeletons, but if I were the Bears I'd have had all of the top PI's looking into his background the past week or two (if they didn't already have pretty extensive reports) to figure out what is going on and where things stand. If he truly was not involved and that is relatively obvious, than go ahead and make the pick.
