Best Available Day 2

[adam]

I am glad Poles didn't get an itchy trigger finger and burn down his draft capital with a trade up. 

Now the Bears have 2 picks in the next 9 picks. I assume that Sanders will go before the Bears pick, so there will only be 6 players taken by the time the Bears pick twice. 

RB - Henderson, Judkins, Johnson, Skattebo
WR - Higgins, Noel, Burden, Harris
OT - Ersery
IOL - Wilson, Savaiinaea
DT - Alexander, Turner, Norman-Lott
Edge - Green, Ezeiruaku, Scourton, Jackson, Tuimoloau
LB - Schwesinger
CB - Johnson (injury concerns), Revel, Amos
S - Emmanwori, Winston, Watts

The 4 players in bold have a first-round grade and Green and Johnson were both projected in the top 20.

Just based on the numbers, Edge and RB seem likely.

Here’s who I hope the Bears get in round 2:
Edge - Ezeiruaku
S - Emmanwori

The way the draft is going, I assume all the guys in bold will be gone, plus Sanders, when the Bears draft lol. 

but yeah, getting both of those guys in the 2nd would be really solid.

If you are looking for guys the Bears had confirmed 30 visits with that figure to be in the 2nd/3rd round mix, you have Kaleb Johnson (RB, Iowa), Isaiah Bond (WR, Texas), Anthony Belton (OT NC State), Jonah Savaiinaea (T/G, Arizona), Dylan Fairchild (OG, Georgia), and Andrew Mukuba (S, Texas).  Of course, no one reported a visit between Loveland and the Bears, and he ended up being the pick, so they obviously kept some stuff under raps.  I would be shocked if TreyVeon Henderson, for instance, isn't on their radar given his skill set and willingness as a blocker.

[dawhizz]

Really interested to see how they address edge. On one hand, there's some great names available in the 2nd.  On the other, there are so many that there will maybe even still be great names there at the top of the 3rd, whereas other positions are going to start falling off (OT, for instance).  RB might be another where you have to decide where the drop off is.  Or maybe you address a dwindling position at 39 and then try to trade back 41.  

[Mongo3451]

Gotta get EDGE.  I'm thinking Emmanwori and Landon Jackson.  RB in the 4th or they'll be a bunch of backs available after the draft.  Gotta get a fatty for depth with Billings.  Zack Pickens is 6'4", maybe he can add more beef and help there.

[adam]

Edge, DT, or Safety would make sense.

Here’s what I just did at the ProFootballNetwork simulator: 
 

My Draft Picks

10. Colston LovelandTE Michigan

39. Aireonte ErseryOT Minnesota

41. TreyVeon HendersonRB Ohio State

72. Andrew MukubaS Texas

148. Antwaun Powell-RylandEDGE Virginia Tech

233. Ja'Corey BrooksWR Louisville

240. Yahya BlackDT Iowa 

[BearFan PHX]

I sure hope Ersery will be available at 39, but I doubt it.

I did no work at all on Anthony Belton, so I dunno if he fits the bill or not.

I agree one pick here in the 2nd should go to D Line. And if the other is OT, that pushes the HB back to round 3.

I would not mind a trade back with the 2nd 2nd rounder, pick up a 4th rounder and still get two picks in the 2nd.

I think that would make sense to target HB, but if you use the first one on OT, then there is nothing for the D. and then someone has to wait even more.

[dawhizz]

Lots of speculation that the Browns will take Treyveon Henderson at #33. 

[BearFan PHX]

Kaleb Johnson and Cam Skatebo are still available, Id be happy with either of them.

[adam]

Schwesinger at 33. Huge for the Bears. 

[adam]

Jayden Higgins at 34

[adam]

Still available:

RB - Henderson, Judkins, Johnson, Skattebo
WR - Noel, Burden, Harris
OT - Ersery
IOL - Wilson, Savaiinaea
DT - Alexander, Turner, Norman-Lott
Edge - Green, Ezeiruaku, Scourton, Jackson, Tuimoloau
CB - Johnson (injury concerns), Revel, Amos
S - Emmanwori, Winston, Watts

[BearFan PHX]

Im worried Seattle just traded up. Hope its not for Ersery

[BearFan PHX]

GOOD Seattle takes Emmanwori

now we just need Cleveland not to take Ersery

maybe someone will trade up with them for a QB?

He was one I would have been perplexed to draft at 39 if he was there.

I left the site after seeing this (Henderson gone) then they announced the pick a minute ago and came back. 

In a way, i was relieved because the Bears could trade down with one of their picks.

[adam]

Jonah Savaiinaea to MIA, NE then Bears.

[adam]

I would love a trade back for #41,

The Raiders traded 37 and 143 for picks 48, 98, and 135. Basically moved back 11 to get 98.

I like Ersery, Henderson, and DE.  Would like one that fits all 3 downs but could see Green or Ezeiruaka for their rush
