As every draft, the picks do not line up with our expectations.  Maybe it is having the NFL draft at our fingertips and running simulations and reading on prospects programs us to expect something different. 

Well it is now day 3 and we are half way through Round 4.  Who do we want to finish this draft class?  

My wish list:

OL Zach Tom, Jamaree Salyer, Cade May's, Kellen Deisch.

DB Josh Jobe, Montaric Brown, Tariq Woolen

WR Kahlil Shakir, Calvin Austin, Justyn Ross, 

I want Darian Kinnard, but doubt he lasts long enough. I’ve already mentioned Ross as a guy worth taking a flier on. Matthew Butler is also someone who seems to fit what we are looking for in a 3T. And, what the hell, take the Punt God Matt Ariaza. 

Best available O-lineman should be the pick at 148 or 150. 

Peace

Watching Zach Tom get selected to go to GB is deflating. If we only had a 4th.  If anything, I hope Poles values the draft and never gets desperate trading picks away.

I hate to admit it, but GB is having an A+ draft. 

Kinnard gone. Maybe Dohnovan West?

Edit: Bears trade down and got another sixth.

He said he wanted to move down.  Wish he was able to do so earlier. Gives us another player so I'll take it.

I hope we do lose out on Rasheed Walker LT who is next on my oline list

Looks like they traded down again with Texans.

The #Bears trade back AGAIN, moving No. 150 to the #Texans  for No. 166 and No. 207.  So the #Bears now have 2 fives, 3 sixes and 2 sevens.

I like this link it shows the best player available and it looks to be live. 
 

Hope we can draft Kellen Deisch. I have picked him in multiple mocks and always got a good grade..

The Bears entered Saturday with:
5-148
5-150
6-186

They now have:
5-168
5-174
6-186
6-203
6-207
7-226
7-254
7-255

Well, we finally get an OT - Braxton Jones, from So. Utah

 

Then in the fifth we get an edge rusher

Dominique Robinson from Miami Ohio

Dominique Robinson DE/OLB with the next pick.  Not sure what or where they see him

Braxton Jones 

From CBS Sports

Grade Analysis

Major sleeper OT. Has legitimate Pro Bowl OT traits. Mean streak as a blocker pops on film too. Feet are outstanding. Does need to get a touch stronger. Dominated at small-school level. Love this with Justin Fields in mind. (Chris Trapasso)

Strengths:

Quick first step with great top-end speed. Good overall athleticism. Controlled into pass protection. Does a good job sealing backside pursuit in zone. Great size. Able to create torque with his lower body. Allows defenders to work away from play side.

Almost the highest rated player they drafted this year.

Wow, That is an encouraging write up. Let's hope he is THAT good!

They say he is raw but has scary good traits that can translate to a top tier pass rusher in NFL

Also a former WR

Huge wingspan too.  That's why they say he needs to get stronger.

Poles swears he wants to draft players who love FB and has good character.

So if Braxton fits that mold, there will be no trouble for him to get stronger with the Bears' trainers in the weight room.

Zachary Thomas, San Diego State - OT with or first 6th rounder

Absolutely.  You can already tell he spends time in the weight room.  He's got guns like Bobbie Massie.

His brother Cameron Thomas played for Miami.  Projects inside at G.

Garrett and Melton are still available. Jobe  doesn’t seem like he fits our defense.

I have a feeling we’re going to take some swings at 3T

i would’ve loved the punter
