March 10, 201313 yr comment_117439 If all of the top 6 OL players are gone at our 20th spot, who do we take? the top 4 OTs, and 2 top OGs I would suspect we draft our next need. Eifert/TE or maybe Austin/WR. If that happens I would like to see us move down in the draft to get extra picks. I still think AZ is a likely trade candidate. A lot of mock drafts have them taking a QB in the first round, but dont think any of the prospects merit that high of a pick. Which would give us a 39th our 50th and a 3rd round 69. (Warford/OG,Wheaton/WR and Kelce/TE would be my choices. The possibility of BPA would come into play. With the 6 OLs going ahead of us, someone real good would drop to us. DT,DE, or CB. Report

If your scenario happens I'm all for drafting either eifert or Austin Report
March 10, 201313 yr comment_117442 Then we go TE or LB. I doubt we go WR in the 1st, but if we were going WR, Austin would be the logical pick. Report
March 10, 201313 yr comment_117449 I would suspect we draft our next need. Eifert/TE or maybe Austin/WR. What stinks about draft-mocking this time of year is that we don't know what's going to happen in free agency. For example, we sign Jared Cook to a significant contract, there's no way we take a TE in round #1 making this a pointless discussion. My guess would be for Austin. With BM and Jeffrey, adding a big pass catching wide receiver is just adding more of the same. But how good would BM and Jeffrey be if we had a legit speedster who is a deep threat? Report

We can only look at it from the point we dont do anything but resign some of our own FAs. We dont even have the cap room to do all that right now. It will come clearer in the next few days. Report
March 10, 201313 yr comment_117459 Then I take Eifert, Austin, Patterson, or Ogletree. If they're all gone, I trade down. Report

We have 1 Linebacker on the roster as we speak. Report
March 10, 201313 yr comment_117466 I got a feeling Patterson is going to end up being very,very, good. He probably is. Supposedly, he's dumber than a box of rocks. Dane Brugler tweeted it the other day and that he has heard it on more than one occasion too. Report
March 10, 201313 yr Author comment_117467 We have 1 Linebacker on the roster as we speak. I think we resign Roach, and possible of Urlacher on the cheap(he wont be big on other teams priority lists) and we can draft a couple in the 4th and 5 to develop. Report
March 10, 201313 yr comment_117468 I'm all for drafting the best available player from one of our positional needs. I don't think the Bears can go wrong in the 1st round this year. This years draft is not top heavy at all, so chances are we will be getting a good player at 20 who's not really much different from someone going in the top 5. Report
