At this point I’d take a flier on Andre Carter. Probably the highest upside of the edges left.

Would have liked to see DE and C before WR. This tells me they are moving  Whitehair to C.

Could be going bpa too.  Scott is going to be an exciting deep threat and that tells me Velus has a lot of work to do to be more than a returner. Wypler and Olu still available and DE Habakkuk Baldonaldo Pitt still available

I was grabbing him in rd 2d mocks.  He tested poorly st the combine but that doesn't always define a player.  I'd be good with him too

Noah Sewel LB - a stud LB, brother is LT drafted by Lions.  Had a couple injury ending seasons, but has the talent to be good.

RAS not a 9 but still decent.

I'm good with Whitehair, Patrick and Kramer fighting it out for center. 

Peace

Sewell adds to a pretty stacked LB room. Edmunds, Edwards, Sanborn and Sewell is really solid top 4. Also going to be a top ST contributor. 

I know I saw him in a few early mocks.

Yeah I forgot about Kramer. Seems like Edge and TE are left.

Meh, seems like a special teams player and maybe someone to compete at SLB.   Ideally I'd like to see more upside here.

He is depth, which is alright.  He was a  former early mock draft 1st rounder ?.  Put him under Eberflus who is great with LB, and he might be a surprise.  He was selected for a reason, maybe a Flus pick.

Ryan, this is one of my last requests. I know you have our board up for expert advice.

Terrell Smith CB Min -  another press man CB

 

I thought Trice might have been the better fit, but I’m good with Smith.

I good with both.  They are ST/depth upgrades for now.  2 years from now, they might be starters.  We know injuries will happen, so they might get an opportunity like Sanborn and shine.

Good with that pick.

One cog in Ryan Poles draft evaluation  that is a key is size and speed. He wants players that can move and have size.  The RAS sure looks like something they use with selections.  Will they be contenders is still a big?  Still have to address a few positions but that cannot happen all in a year without draft capital and then this.   I expect the Bears to be close, but not quite ready to take the North.  Next year with the additional 1st, they could come away with two DE talents if the choose and complete the model.   

Bearstalk.com also points this out.

Does anyone else think that Terrell Smith could be a free safety candidate?

What about a kicker with the last pick if there’s one with potential?  CS has a big cap number    We need another Butthead or Gould.

I'd be good to bringing back Gould.  

Seen NE drafted a K and a P already.  They must not have many huge needs

Round 7 on deck.

Bears have 2 selections and then UDFA. 

They will have 24 roster spots to fill after the draft.

Travis Bell DT

6-1 280. Kennesaw St

The unknown player is selected.  Doesn't have length, so I am stumped.

First Bears draft pick I’ve never heard of before. That’s an improvement over some previous years. Seems like a PS guy.

First player drafted from Kennisaw.  "I'm self-driven. I'm a nasty guy. I'm a hard worker. The work ethic is out the roof. ... I got a motor. Y'all should expect to see me running sideline to sideline."

I always like checking out the UDFAs we bring in. That's gotta be a great deal of work for the staff to pull that off.

He's the same size as Kancey and AA. Maybe that's the reason they didn't take AA, they knew they were drafting this guy that fits the same mold.

Anyone know of any interesting UDFA prospects at the edge or OC positions? ?
