April 27, 201213 yr Author comment_105435 Didn't expect it. Interested to see how he will do as an end vs. the OLB. Not sure if I like this pick or not. I really liked Whitney. Report
April 27, 201213 yr Author comment_105438 I wouldn't compare a guy projected to go in the late 1st to Bazuin. I don't know a lot about him and I'd have rather moved down. Seems like a pretty good athlete with good measurables. Report
April 27, 201213 yr comment_105439 I kept hoping someone else would select him, as I was not high on him. However, I will wait and see. Personally, I would have loved several other options instead but then I am certainly not a good evaluator of college talent and many I did not like in the past turned into great players. Report
April 27, 201213 yr comment_105441 Only way this pick makes sense is if we fire Lovie after the year and switch to a 3/4 defense. I can't believe they picked this guy. :You have got to be kidding me! Report
April 27, 201213 yr comment_105442 Not about to say I know enough to gauge this as a good or bad pick, we'll see I suppose. Little surprised we passed on Mercilus but again, not gonna say this is a bad pick because I honestly don't know enough. I assume the Pats are moving up here to take either Jones or Mercilus though.

April 27, 201213 yr comment_105443 They didn't want Mercilus, Perry, DeCastro, Reiff, and Jones, and took THIS guy? He had the least amount of DE reps at the combine. Report
April 27, 201213 yr comment_105444 Horrible pick. Problems: He's not strong He's not a true DE He's not a true OLB The Bears don't play 3-4 Concussion history Reiff still on the board Decastro still on the board Mercilus still on the board Overall there were better players at bigger positions of need.

April 27, 201213 yr comment_105446 I think its an interesting pick, not my fav, but I dont get why you dont trade down to get him. Report
April 27, 201213 yr comment_105447 I'm not on board with this but when he puts the uniform on I will scream like hell for him. Report

April 27, 201213 yr comment_105449 So emery feels like he was the best on the board to make an impact now? interesting.... Report
April 27, 201213 yr comment_105450 I think Jerry Angelo is still drafting for this team. I can't even come up with one reason as to why we drafted this kid. He was a 5th round pick up until about a week ago. The ONE guy I did not want the Bears to take... Report
April 27, 201213 yr comment_105452 Wow. Maybe Emery grabbed his draft notes from when he was with KC and thought he was still in a 3/4. Report

All projections had him going to NE in the bottom of the 1st round. Report

His power is far reaching. Report

Thats worse than Angelo's 1st Rounders... proves Lovie makes these bonehead picks... A weak, injury prone, white DE from a shit school.... 32in arms?

April 27, 201213 yr comment_105457 Great pick and why? They took the they wanted, not who we wanted. That would make sense if the Bears were the Patriots and they were in the playoffs every year and a threat to go to the Super Bowl every year. But since they haven't, and they aren't, it doesn't make sense. If thousands and thousands of Bears fans think the Bears need one of a few positions, it makes sense if the Bears select a player for that position in the first round. It doesn't make a lot of sense to draft a guy who may or may not be that position, especially when there are other guys at those positions rated higher. Report
