Yes boys and girls, another year has passed and once again, it's time for the NFL Draft. This thread can be used to post which team picks who, talk about trades, etc. Please, do not start a new thread for every bit of news, just put it in here!

 

Unfortunately I have baseball practice at 4, and won't get back until 9 tonight. So, I will not be able to enjoy the draft live, or discuss it with you guys. However, I will be back on tonight to provide my thoughts!

 

Go Bears!

I love the draft. This new time format (10 minutes) is so much better....so much better. Makes everything happen quicker. I do wish they stuck to doing it a little early on Saturday and going with 3 rounds today and 4 tomorrow.

And the Chicago Bears select...Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt. (Does happy O-Lineman dance)

I thought we were going to get Albert. Well, pray for the best...

We should of threw money at Michael Turner in the offseason. We are gong to have to burn a pick on RB.

Like it! I'd liked Alberts but I guess Williams is the safer pick!

Nice to see the Bears pick up someone to help out the O-Line. It was no secret that they desperately needed the help. This helps make both our running and passing games better.

Do not know that much about Chris Williams however, it is nice to see at least one problem on the line is addressed so far. We'll have to see how the rest of the next 30 some odd hours play out and hope for the best. Still lots of holes to fix.

I sure as hell hope the Cards take Mendy here to keep him out of Mo-Town...

 

EDIT- And they don't.

I have much less of a problem with the Bears burning a pick on a RB if it's in the 2nd or 3rd round, now that they've done the important thing and hopefully massively upgraded the O-Line.

 

I still hope they pick one more O-Lineman in the first 3 rounds also, find a guard somewhere for some depth, but now you've got Kreutz in the middle, Williams on the left, Tait moves back to the right, and the guards are some combination of Beekman/Garza/all the others/whoever else they draft. The edges of this line just got a lot more solid, we hope, and that makes everyone on the offense better.

where is mendy gonna fall too.....

Unless someone moves up, Dallas is the next logical stopping point for him.

Man, I absolutely love this pick. I really really like it.

 

Chris Williams....Welcome to Chicago!!!

With Mendy falling, does Dallas take him instead of Jones (meaning Jones could slide into the 2nd and if he slides into there, I swear the Bears should move up).

Would love the Bears to trade up for Mendenhall!

My instinct says he goes to Dallas right here.

I agree but I think it would be plausible for the bears to move up before the jets and get Jones....

Wow...Mendy still on the board...so is Devin Thomas...so one of them drop to the Bears or do we trade up

I don't think either one of them will drop to the Bears's pick...but I wouldn't trade up for Thomas. Mendenhall maybe, but Thomas is certainly not that much better than the other receivers in the draft, and the odds are 1 of the top 4 will still be there when the Bears pick at this rate. (Kelly, Sweed, Thomas, Jackson are all still on the board).

Mendy to Pitt. That or someone traded with Pitt. Either way Mendy is going right here.

good call

Tennessee really could use one of these receivers. Sweed? He might fit well with that Vince Young dude.

Huh?

Wow...Chris Johnson...didn't see that one coming.

If Sweed fell to the Bears, that'd be incredible.
