Da Bears 88 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 He takes Earl Bennett in the 3rd round and he can't even crack this pathetic WR corps. Another great gem by Angelo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artbest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Forte AND Harrison are gems from the 08 draft. Harrison is the only young d-lineman on the roster with significant upside. Steltz? Too soon to tell. Bennett? Disappointing thus far - let's see what transpires nexr year. Williams? Missing on his pre-existing condition was a major blunder, but he's recovered now. Considering how bad St. Claire was yesterday, it's time to see what the kid can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfoligno Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Dusty has had a few good games this year and disappeared in others with the rest of the line. I know it is his 3rd year but technically he is a first year player. I think it might be too early to put him on the list. I'm a pretty big Dusty fan, but I am not sure we can really say he started out w/ a few good games. He has a very high motor, and I love the way he approaches the game, but he simply wasn't getting it done. Tank Johnson was becoming a kick ass DLman before he got cut, certainly not because of ability, but because of his off-field problems. I am not sure you can fault Angelo for that. He drafted a talented DT who played well. I think we absolutely can fault Angelo for Tank's off-field issues. He fell in the draft due to similar concerns. If you draft a player w/ a history of injury, and he busts due to injury, I think you can fault the GM. Similar, if you draft a player w/ a history of off-field issues, and similar issues lead to his being cut, then again, I think you can fault the GM. Bradly was a good WR when healthy, he just never could stay healthy. Again, is this Angelo's fault? But there was more to it than just injuries. He sure looks healthy in KC. Are we to assume he had a miraculous heeling? I suspect he was likely healthy for us this year, but what did he do for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artbest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 1. Mark Bradley has 24 catches on the season with a 12.6 YPR. He had no catches yesterday. That hardly consistutes "coming on." He's getting some playing time on a team with one victory. As far as his injury situation is concerned, Angelo gambled on him when he drafted him. Bradley had an extensive injury history at Oklahoma, not to mention limited experience at WR. Angelo guessed wrong on him and is accountable for wasting a second round pick. 2. Dusty Dvoracek. He's only looked "good" at times because the Bears stack the box with 8-9 guys to stop the run. Against the Packers, the Bears went with 7 in the box - thereby asking Dusty to hold up at the point of attack - and he was bulldozed. Combine this with a now-legendary injury history (he's out for the year AGAIN with a ruptured bicep) and you have yet another Angelo bust.

danimal99 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Dusty was the so called steal in round 3. He's been about as much of a steal as Bradley was in round 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Only guy worth a damn from this draft. Thanks alot Angelo. Please resign. Harrison has been arguably our best DT this year, Steltz has been solid on ST and he was good when he filled in vs Detroit, and Bowman was very good against Minnesota earlier this year. Figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
