Day 3 Begins

We have picks 126 (4th),  205 (6th), 222 (7th),  238 (7th).    I think Pace is going to make a trade to get either one more pick or to get back into the 5th Rd from 205.  To get that done he'll either drop back from 126 or he'll use one of next years' picks to move up.  

I dont see a WR. Thompson is a real possibility, so is Amani Oruwariye CB PSU

And perhaps Joe Jackson at DE?

Also the Michael Jordan of football is available LOL

Riley Ridley WR, surprised me but now we have two Ga dogs in the wr pound.  I still think Wims is the better.

I’m a big fan of Wims too, no doubt.  Ridley  makes some sense (at least to me) given Nagy needing more tools.  And I think there were rumors last year that Pace tried to trade up to get Riley’s brother but went with Wims instead.  

I guess he really was BPA - not a need position, but more talent. Go Bears!

I guess this makes Gabriel a chess piece.

That’s my thought too.  Personally not a fan of Millers either...that being said...

Still think the team needs to address S/NB with Skrine as the primary choice.  Although McManis showed some promise in the role at limited play.

I'm very surprised by the pick.  I expected a TE to be taken.  From a value standpoint Ridley stands out and he's similar is many ways to Anthony Miller.  It's pretty clear now Allen Robinson likely won't see another contract from the Bears.  

Gabriel is still a weapon and has a place imo.  He may lose some snaps to Ridley, but I don't see his roster spot. 

Robinson, Miller, Gabriel, Ridley, Wims...getting that position solidified.

Patterson as well. I love the Ridley pick. WR is now crazy deep

Despite starting at 87 overall Pace has come out of this draft with two of the top 60 players.

Pace is becoming an awesome GM. I admire that he has the Cojones to go up and get his guy. Honestly getting your guy is better than accumulating draft capital as long as you continue to get solid players when you move up. 

And next year at this point we will have nice draft capital to add even more. 8 picks I think. Could be wrong.

This pick surprises me.  We have a ton of talent at WR.  It will definitely make things interesting in camp. 

Peace

Ditto. I wasn’t expecting a WR at all.

I believe he is doing the BPA thing. I seen several draft sites that had him rated in the top 10 of WRs. He is different from anybody we have on the team. Closes to ARob accept not as tall.

Ridley seems to me like a slower, less athletic Chris Conley, who Nagy had in KC and who KC drafted at a similar point in the draft.  I don't think he's a top receiver, but he's a good guy to have on your team, runs good routes, catches the ball well, etc. 

Ridley is a Antwan Bolder type. A little faster but 15lbs lighter. Most sights I saw had him a Top 10 WR. 

If we move forward 2 years when  we have to have cheaper contracts on the team for MTs Contract I can see this lineup:

Wims

E. Hall

Ridley

A. Miller. 

I can see them cutting Gabriel next year and Robinson in 2 years.
