Cam Skattebo

[jason]

I haven’t liked an uncertain player a ton in quite some time. I remember being in love with Randy Moss and being told he was way too big of a risk. 

Well, I loved Skattebo also, and many were uncertain about him. Too slow. Bad competition. Won’t translate to the NFL. Even though he appears to be fast-tracking towards CTE, he could have been the guy the Bears picked to fill an obvious need.

i wonder if the Bears front office even considered drafting him? Has anyone seen reports suggesting one way or another?

Poles really does suck. Take your pick for OT in the first, probably can trade back from 10 and still get Simmons. Burden was a no-brainer once the Ohio St RBs went, but what about Mukuba over Trapilo in the 2nd, then trade the Turner pick for later ones to pickup Skattebo and Gadsden. Poles would be better off using mock draft simulators.

Josh Simmons/Greg Zabel (OT) - 1st
Luther Burden (WR) - 2nd
Andrew Mukuba (S) - 2nd (Trapilo)
Cam Skattebo (RB) - 3rd/4th (Turner)
Oronde Gadsden (TE) - 4th/5th (Turner)

A little early to judge a current draft. after 3 games?

I was one of those who didnt like Skattebo as a pro, but he has played especially yesterday.

I have a feeling RB will be addressed somewhere in rounds 1-3.

Perhaps, but he looks like a ball of relentless energy. A full on battering ram who has juggernaut tendencies. And the Bears don’t appear to have a single RB who can attack the LOS with more than mediocre intent.

100% agree.

i don’t care what anyone says, the first round TE pick was stupid. All the 12 personnel and different type of TE talk is meaningless unless the first rounder is used in surplus. He’s simply not needed as much as a DE or OT was/is needed.
