April 29, 20178 yr comment_164336 No one who will help much this year, sadly. Maybe Tedric Thompson at safety and a potential outside receiver? Wish we were able to get a 3rd out of the deal. The Bears can regroup tonight and get two BPA's. To be honest I never seen S or CB as huge needs with the amount of personal they have there. Sure an upgrade would be good but then you are giving up on some talent that should grow. OT I like: Avery Gennesy potential at LT and good for a zone blocking scheme. If Grasu comes back heathly and hungry then maybe shift Whitehair to a OT also. OT-Roderick Johnson- might make a decent RT, but has experience at LT for FSU Report
April 29, 20178 yr comment_164339 Combine the picks trade down. That is what Pace seems best at. Report

To be honest I never seen S or CB as huge needs with the amount of personal they have there. Sure an upgrade would be good but then you are giving up on some talent that should grow. We have a bunch of decent not great guys in the secondary, but this was a draft deep at DB where you could get an above average starter at S or CB in the 2nd. Now we didn't and I don't see the point of addressing it. Is a rookie CB we get in the 4-6 rounds going to be better than BW Webb/Callahan/LeBlanc? Is a safety we get in the 4-6 rounds going to be better than Amos/Bush/Hall/Houston-Carson? I don't see it. Depth isn't he problem. Quality starting caliber players are, IMO. I think with the four remaining picks, you look for positions without that depth. I'm thinking that means, in no particular order swing tackle with starter upside, WR who can play outside, pass-rush specialist, and maybe a versatile DL. Bold wildcard Ryan Pace prediction - The Bears use one of their 4th round picks on Zane Gonzalez, the kicker from Arizona State. Conner Barth was not particularly impressive last year and he's clearly the best K in the draft. Report

If Gonzalez is still on the board with our 2nd 4th rounder, go for it, draft Gonzalez and fill a need. He would easily be an upgrade over Barth. Report
April 29, 20178 yr comment_164350 Pace will probably draft a RB out from Trinity Christian College. Home of the fighting Trolls. I'd hope he look at a FS or CB at this point. Report
April 29, 20178 yr comment_164355 I love the idea of drafting Gonzalez and have no issues using a 4th rounder to do it. Peace Pretty much the only way I see of coming out of this draft with a day one starter in 2017. Report
April 29, 20178 yr comment_164359 Pretty much the only way I see of coming out of this draft with a day one starter in 2017. Unless we also pick up a long snapper in the 5th. Report
April 29, 20178 yr comment_164361 One of the picks should be David Sharpe or Julien Davenport. Time to double down on supporting Trubisky. Get a damn OT! Report

April 29, 20178 yr comment_164364 Roderick Johnson also still available, right? Yep! Let's go Pace. If this is what you want, and doubling down on the QB is your move, then doubling down on OT should make the same amount of sense. Hell, OT with BOTH of the fourth rounders would be great! 2 out of Sharpe, Davenport, and Johnson! Report

Hell, OT with BOTH of the fourth rounders would be great! 2 out of Sharpe, Davenport, and Johnson! I'd be ok to trade one 4th if we can get a 4th and 5th out of it.

April 29, 20178 yr comment_164369 I'm all over Desmond King. I can't see him falling to us, but if he does...awesome!!! Report
April 29, 20178 yr comment_164372 I'm all over Desmond King. I can't see him falling to us, but if he does...awesome!!! He's going to take BPA, king is in that position. Look who we coached at senior bowl and you may find some clues. Do not be surprised if out next two picks are King and Jerome/s. He is a little small but a playmaker. Report
April 29, 20178 yr comment_164373 Desmond King and Roderick Johnson would be lovely. Deatrich Wise is a guy guy who intrigues me a lot as well. I don't think we need a WR but if I'm wrong, I'd grab Trubiskys teammate...No not Ryan Switzer, but Mack Collins. 6'4" with good speed. Report
