Superman(DH23) Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Everyone worried about the predictions need to remember. Last year at this time it was Solomon Thomas and Jamall Adams. Its safe to say if you have heard a media mock draft, that guy is probably not the Bears' pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The year prior and Kevin White were not nearly as clandestine. I doubt we are going to see that type of info lock down again. That would have taken serious effort and burning a bridge with your current coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikee Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 There are about a dozen guys in this draft that I would be perfectly happy to walk away with. Whether the Bears trade up to get their guy, stay at 8, or drop back to collect picks, as long as they stay in the top 12-15 I think I'll end up being happy. There are usually a couple highly regarded players each year that I don't like, be it for performance or character reasons, but that isn't the case this year (outside of QB). Give me one of: Chubb, Landry, Davenport, Vea, Smith, Edmunds, Alexander, Ward, James, Fitzpatrick Barkley, Nelson and I'll be happy. Pass rusher is the team's biggest need, and about the only thing that would upset me is if Chubb was available when they pick and the Bears passed on him. The other pass rushers are a bit of risk and the rest of the players don't play a position of desperate need or their positions don't hold high value so I won't complain if the Bears choose one over another.

Key words "would be" dynasties. Only 1 SB to show for it though. The NFL has evolved from Polian's hay days. He was definitely a good talent evaluator. I wouldn't treat his current evaluations as gold however and I really like Davenport. Edited April 26, 2018 by topwop1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's going to be people who demand greatness now, and then there will be (smart) people who realize that he's still extremely raw and needs time. The sooner people realize Davenport is a 2-3 year project, the better off they'll be in terms of tempering expectations. The thing people need to understand though is that Pace is probably feeling increasing pressure to win now going into his 4th year as GM. For that reason I think he's going to look for players who are more ready to step in and play now versus projects who may take a few years to develop into what their projected ceiling may be.

The guy who advocated for Manziel at 4? Or said that the 6'3" Lamar Jackson is 'too short' to play QB. The guy that said he had a 'first round grade' on Tom Brady. The guy who got Peyton Manning and then wasted a decade of drafts? He was a great GM, but Bill Polian lost his fastball a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, when they did the NFL Nation mock with every team's beat writer making that team's pick, he was pissed when the Chiefs writer said "they'll trade up for a QB; it's been years since they've drafted a QB." Turns out Polian was clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Lance ZierleinVerified account @LanceZierlein 59s60 seconds ago More Hearing Rosen over Darnold at 3 so if Sam doesn't go 2 (Denver trade up or Bills trade up), he could fall to 4 and it will be raining picks in the Browns laps once again. As crazy as it sounds, the Bucs are poised to get one of the top 3 players in this draft at pick 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nads786 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 That really helps us. We really need 3 or even 4 QBs to go before us. Pace cannot screw this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Lombardi says the Browns want Denzel Ward, which means they need to stay top 8ish. I am not sure they are going to have a huge market for the pick with only 4 teams and only 1 that needs a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
