Seems like we almost have this figured out, unless there is more debate about the potential of a 1st round OT. If that changes, we may have to completely restructure. Eric Murray is added in as a scrappy CB, and Tajae Sharpe, a great hands/route guy, is the new WR in the mix.

Are you saying you do or do not want OT?

And are you saying you want QB in a specific round? Or early/late?

I don't want a OT in the 11th pick.

 

QB I only want in the first. I think any other round is a waste of a pick.

 

I'd also like to see a kick returner in the 5-6th round

I'd also like to see a kick returner in the 5-6th round

 

Agree. Like Byron Marshall, Demarcus Ayers, and Jaydon Mickens as possible late round WR/return men.

 

Well, it's about time to start this discussion back up. We probably have a minor signing or two left, but otherwise the team is set.

 

Remember, please do not submit another mock. No trades. Both include too many what-if scenarios. I'll fire up a mock, then everyone chime in with your thoughts, suggestions, recommendations, etc. List the players you hate at the round mocked, where you think specific positions need to be addressed. I'll try to stay out of it for the most part, and I'm trying not to interject what I want. I'm putting what I think the Bears might do based on their moves this offseason.

 

This is the previous draft we all agreed upon:

MOCK DRAFT VER 8.0

1. Ronnie Stanley, OT, ND

2. Sua Cravens, ILB, USC

3. Jayron Kearse, SS, Clemson

4. Bronson Kaufusi, DE, BYU

5. KeiVarae Russell, CB, ND

6. Dak Prescott, QB, MSU

6. Halapoulivaati Vaitai, OG, TCU

6. Silverberry Mouhon, OLB, Cincy

7. Glenn Gronkowski, TE, KSU

 

The new post-FA mock draft is as follows:

MOCK DRAFT VER 1.0

1. Shaq Lawson, OLB, Clemson

2. Hunter Henry, TE, Arkansas

3. Shawn Oakman, DE, Baylor

4. Zack Sanchez, CB, Oklahoma

5. Fahn Cooper, OT, Ole Miss

6. Vernon Adams Jr., QB, Oregon

6. Elijah Shumate, SS, ND

6. Dadi Nicolas, OLB, VaTech

7. Dan Vitale, FB, Northwestern

 

Alright. There's my complete remake of what I think the Bears are steering towards. What are your inputs? Hate someone? Love someone? Think someone is too high/low? Bad/great fit for the team? Let's see if we can all agree again!

 

You're going to have to change your lineup now since we got rid of one sixth round and gained a fourth with the Bennett deal. Call it: "Post FA Mock Draft 2.0".

Well, a trade has thrown us for a loop, and we have a dead-lock among board members on the first round. I don't see how TE isn't a bigger need for the Bears right now, and there are some prime candidates. As for the first round...

2 want OT in the 1st: bear trap, dawhizz

2 don't want OT in the 1st: Alaska, TD

Until someone breaks that tie, we stay with the current layout.

 

We also have the addition of a KR requirement from two.

Nice!

 

I did a fanspeak mock today which was very similar to see what we can do with that 4th:

 

My results: 1-Ronnie Stanley OT, 2-Vernon Butler DT, 3-Darian Thompson S, 4-Nick Varnett TE, 4-Christian Hackenberg QB, 5-Harlan Miller CB, 6-Robet Aguayo K, 6-Dadi Nicolas OLB, 7-Dick Vitale FB.
