Good pick. No complaints there. Still would have liked Gregory and taken the risk but I understand. I also just heard he weighed in at like 218 or something absurdly low.

218, dude is down to Safety weight.

Eddie..and I hate you lol spoiler alert!

 

I love it though. Would have liked Fisher, but a d lineman that can take on double teams was right up there with OT.

At 218? Unlikely....

 

Maybe his best hope is to evade them. Might as well line him up at LB, that's where he'll end up being pushed to.

 

* Edit: This article lists him as 320 which looking at his picture, makes more sense. http://www.tallahassee.com/story/sports/co...draft/21697401/

 

And since Dick Butkus likes the pick, so do I. Although I don't know much about him. Only 27 starts. that could be a good and a bad thing.

He's a big fat lineman for the 3-4. Two down player. Here's why we didn't take Danny Shelton

Yep; Fits a major need in the 3-4 defense and seems to have the right skill sets. I wouldn't have wanted Shelton that early and this works out nicely.

Chicago hitting the colors..White and Gold!

Also this can put to rest that Fangio prefers smaller DTs.

Was hoping for Gregory but this pick makes sense. Nice draft from Ryan Pace so far. Much better than his predecessor..

Lol yup. Justin Smiths ability to take on double teams made it possible for him to go with smaller guys.

 

I know hes being called a 2 down player but I say hogwash. He wont provide a pass rush but by having him out there taking on 2 blockers he's making the guys who do provide a pass rush jobs easier. I wouldn't be surprised in the least bit if Fangio makes him an everydown player. When they use their 2-4-5 alignment Id like to see him and McDonald out there...in the base 3-4 we got McDonald-Goldman-Ratliff/Ego/Houston/Sutton/Jenkins. One of those guys should be able to handle the 2nd DE spot.

Yep. I really feel like we've drafted two potential opening day starters. I'd also add that the two positions we neglected the most in free agency were DT and WR. No smokescreens.

Supposedly this kid can play anywhere on the D-Line. Fangio loves versatility so this pick doesn't surprise.

I think he's our NT. That's it.

As for playing anywhere, he's 6-4 336. There's only one position he's playing at that weight.

Meh, Im fairly certain the Ravens lined up Ngata at DE last year.

Pace almost surgical at this point. I like the pick, I was thinking names (Gregory, Fisher), but Goldman makes too much sense, and some had him late first round.

Real good article on Goldman here.

Interesting that he wore #90 in honor of Ratliff.

 

Sounds like a real good kid, like him even more after reading that.

I grasp on guys I like and my NTs were Shelton or Phillips. Looking at Goldman, I think he is perfect. Little longer arms than Shelton and didn't cost us a dynamic playmaker. Now find a DB, OT, or C.

The questions about my choice Phillips motor may have had him behind Goldman on the Bears board. So 1 for 1 on first pick 2 for 2 on positions.

Also Phillips has had back problems. Not what I like to see from a big guy.

Yeah. It's nonsense to think he plays anything but NT.

Word has it the Bears coaching staff contacted Goldman before the pick. He was under a bridge with a club terrorizing children. He's a monster.

2 very good football players that will actually play alot there first year, there is a GOD.

 

PLUS we have the coaching to develop them,awesome.

I like this pick. If nothing else running against a front of Ferguson, Goldman, McDonald/Ratliff is not going to be easy for any team. ILB will have plenty of room to roam and make plays.
