G08 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Okay let's break this down: It's 3rd and 10 and Fangio wants to rush 4 and drop 7 into coverage. Floyd is on one side, who in this draft class do you want on the other side? Obviously I'm talking EDGE rushers here, but if for some reason your answer is Roquan Smith or Tremaine Edmunds, feel free to say so. Assume CHUBB is off the board.

I have not issue if it is Landry, but I do not think he will be as highly ranked as Davenport for the Bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) ESPN SackSEER pass rusher rankings 1. Marcus Davenport 2. Bradley Chubb 3. Harold Landry 4. Sam Hubbard 5. Josh Sweat 6. Tyquan Lewis 7. Lorenzo Carter 8. Uchenna Nwosu 9. Arden Key SackSEER's projections are based on a statistical analysis of the factors that have historically correlated to success as an NFL edge rusher. SackSEER has predicted success for current stars Von Miller, Khalil Mackand Justin Houston. SackSEER also has identified several high-profile busts at the edge rusher position, including Dion Jordan, Marcus Smith and Jarvis Jones. SackSEER had its fair share of misses as well, but it nevertheless provides a good starting point for discussing the likelihood that an edge rusher prospect will collect high sack numbers at the NFL level.

It's just a matter of coaching him up and making sure he reaches that sky high potential. People are comparing him to Izzy Ansah. If that's the type of production we can come to expect out of Davenport then sign me up. I also like Landry but I feel he doesn't have as much upside. Either player I wouldn't be upset though.

WindyCity Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 My buddies and I do a 4-5 person mock draft every year where you control 6-7 teams and we run through the first 2 rounds of the draft. Would there be people interested? We would obviously discuss the Bears pick and made that as a forum. Trades are allowed, you control the teams.

If your answer is Smith don’t admit that cause you’d be an idiot. Davenport by a little under a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I've got to go Davenport... Can you imagine Hicks and Davenport coming off the same side? Sweet Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 @G08 Im going for Davenport due to Fangio' s success with Smith, and in the 2nd i double down with Key. I'll put Key at the 3T in that situation. If be fine with Landry as well though. Nickel DL Floyd - Key - Hicks - Davenport. Bullard and RRH can be a reserve pair. I don't want Goldman in there, I want him to be a dominant run stuffer who can get pressure on early downs. He's too heavy to play as many as he did last year.

I do not think Bears need to nor should they double down at OLB the first 2 rounds. If they end up taking Davenport or Landry in the 1st then it'd be more prudent to get the BPA at one of OL, LB or CB in round 2.

I know. We had this conversation yesterday. Bottom line is, he’s an absolute steal at 39 or round 3. He has as much talent as any player, no matter the position, in this draft. If Pace comes away with him & Davenport, it’s going to be a legendary draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G08 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'd be happy with these first 5 picks: 8. Marcus Davenport, EDGE 39. Billy Price, OC 101. Josey Jewell, ILB 111. Kemoko Turay, OLB 136. Brandon Parker, OT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I failed to mention the potential trade down Pace is likely to make in the 2nd. Might be able to get a 3rd for the OG while still netting Key. Key can be a super sub. Or if you want uberathletes in the middle Floyd is good vs the run. Move him inside in base, start Key and Davenport on the outside, and all 3 can move to the DL in nickel. Unconventional but still. I love the Jewell pick, mocked him to us early. Mini Zach Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
