This also goes back to did Pace make the right picks with Floyd and White as they were both top 10 picks. They have both had a hard time staying healthy. Their issues are different from each other. White appears to be fragile. Floyd got hurt by friendly fire this year from Fuller which is just an instance of bad luck. Before that he had had no health issues at all this year. Floyd’s injury this year would and could happen to anyone at any time and is completely unavoidable to him and any other player in that instance.

He said he felt very uncomfortable there mechanically. I'm sure with reps that can be fixed but why meds with a good thing? FWIW PFF ranked him as the #14 tackle last season. That's not bad at all. I leave Leno at LT. He is solid and durable. I think the best OL the Bears could have next season would be LT: Leno LG: Fulton [FA]: experience in the system, 26, athletic, and can play C if there is an injury. C: Whitehair RG: Long RT: McGlinchey [1st round]: We know him, can play LT if Leno is injured, good athlete, and ready to start day 1. Backups Massie: why cut him when we can have a backup OT that has 60 starts Morgan: hopefully he can take a big step with Heistand Kush/Later Draft Pick OG: keep giving Harry guys to develop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 No doubt that OLB is super important, but there just is not a lot of compelling options out there, unless some how the Lions don't tag Ansah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went into the Lions forum a few weeks back and they didn’t seem super sold on giving Ansah a long term extension. That may have had to do with some recency bias and him having been hurt this year, but I found it noteworthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they would let him walk I would throw big money at him and try to use the lack of interest/faith they showed him as a motivation to get to play them twice a year. Peppers sure as hell liked that notion of going against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 As a ND fan I've gotten to watch certain players more than their people and I have to say Equanimeous St Brown miiiight be a sleeper. Looked spectacular as a fresh and soph, looked transparent last year but that's mostly due to the worst qb I've ever seen at nd. He is highly athletic, has ideal size, makes sure catches and acrobatic catches and could potentially slip a bit based on all the depth at the position in this draft. Taking him in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th would be amazing and I don't think we would regret the selection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love McGlichney in round one and St. Brown in round two and throw in josh adams in the 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I keep thinking about Quenton Nelson and I really think the Bears can draft him, but there would be a couple of things that would have to happen, 1. You would need to be active in free agency to fix WR and CB, you can't have those as massive needs heading into the draft because you won't have the premium picks to deal with them. 2. You need to seriously look at trading down in the 2nd round. If you cannot throw quality at a couple of serious need spots than throw quantity at them. 3. You need to be realistic about 2018. If you want to compete than take an OLB or CB that will be an immediate upgrade in 2018. Nelson is probably going to be a lateral move in 2018 over Sitton. He will more than likely be better for the next 10 years, but he will not be an immediate massive upgrade like and OLB over whoever is playing that spot.

He body catches too much but to make some of the catches he has, you have to have some serious talent. Just needs some coaching/resp to better that habit. Tome he runs some pretty crisp routes, especially at his height. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hurt his stock for what he could've been but he must've not liked it at ND or thought next season would be a lot of the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s a Day 3 guy right now. He has size for sure but speed is a question IMO, and if he runs slow like a lot of guys his size do (4.65+) I’m not totally sure he’s even drafted. Tall but slow and with average hands? There are 25 guys like that in every draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkwdw13 Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 What is every ones opinion of drafting Marcus Davenport in the first and then if Tremaine Edmunds falls to the 2nd taking him also. A future LB core of OLB - Floyd ILB - Trevathan ILB - Edmunds OLB - Davenport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
