G08 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 3 hours ago, TB 1 said: The problem is edge talent always gets over drafted. So edge guys you think might be there at #39 wont be there. Nelson is higher rated then both Landry and Davenport. Which is why i think he is not there at 8 on draft day. This is also not a great edge draft. The Bears better get a guy who can start on the edge and at ILB in this draft or they will regress on defense. I Think they have an ordinary LB core for a base 3-4 scheme. You are absolutely right. At pick #8 I believe we should have our choice of Davenport, Edmunds, or Landry. At pick #39? Lorenzo Carter may be there, Dorance Armstrong, etc. No thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until I see that they have, I doubt he goes in the first half. I'm doubtful that would be the choice, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G08 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 You might have never heard of the guy I had to keep moving up. I mentioned UTSA edge rusher Marcus Davenport—a 6' 7" freak of a receiver-turned-pass rusher—a few weeks back. I didn’t have him in my early November mock. I put him at the end of the first round in the initial list I put together this time around, and then multiple execs told me he’s not getting out of the Top 15. I wound up putting him at 14, behind only Chubb among rushers, and Davenport clearly has a chance to rise higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I wouldn’t hate Roquan, but I’m assuming his medicals scare Pace especially with the Kevin White saga. ILB is an underrated need but not quite as much as the well established interior OL, edge rushers and corner depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugashane Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 ^^^ I love that the RB looks at the RT's spot like "The hell happened over there?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Just draft an impact defender at 8. I really do not care what positon. Just someone we can hang our hat on. Roquan would be a fine pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G08 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I think Davenport is going to be a freak if he really takes to coaching and continues to get bigger. He's got the frame to easily add another 10-20 lbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike84 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 If Pace wants a defensive alpha personality, those guys are Roquan Smith, Derwin James, and Minkah Fitzpatrick. I'm not sure the latter two are scheme fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the frame to easily add another 10-20 lbs. Davenport scares me because of the “if”. He was bad early at the Senior Bowl and good in the game. He was good at a low keel of competition, but hardly dominant. I understand if he is the pick, but personally I probably take Landry. I think at worse Landry will be a 8 sack a year starter like a Willie Young. I think Landry’s first 3 steps are elite so there is upside there. I think Davenport could be a difference maker and I would not be shocked if the Bears value him more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
