I do one and I get one comment directly One of the reasons i stopped posting mine. Regardless, i'm in agreement with you about Price in the second. It moves CW65 back to guard. Price should be there in the second, especially with his torn pec, which should be ok by camp. My 3 targets are Davenport, Ward, and Smith for the first.

Maybe I should post one every week & ensure there are pictures of every draftee and then I’ll get great responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I would be happy with that draft. Seems everyone doing a mock has their team trading down with Buffalo though. They can't trade with everybody. Be interesting to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Pace has fallen in love with Edmunds, whether it be his age (19), length & athleticism, and/or the potential that Fangio can mold him not only into a great ILB but a threat off of the edge. ---Where there's smoke, there's fire. While I don't believe Howard will be traded yet, I do believe he isn't long for this offense. Wadley isn't a 20-30 carry guy by any stretch, but neither is Cohen, so one injury to Howard and they'll need a somewhat between-the-tackles runner. ---Why do you "think Pace has fallen in love with Edwards"? ---Where is this "smoke" you speak of? There's also actually no really strong indication that Wadley can't be a 20-30 carry guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he fits exactly what he looks for in a player, which is what I wrote in my original write-up. I have no inside knowledge by any means, but because of his dynamic athleticism, youth and EDGE potential, I think Pace will/has fallen in love with those 3 qualities. ---Where is this "smoke" you speak of? There's also actually no really strong indication that Wadley can't be a 20-30 carry guy... The smoke I was referring to is Howard eventually getting dealt, not the fact that Wadley can't be a 20-30 carry guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowler1215 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Good draft, but I doubt we draft Key with his off the field issues. If he was there at 39, I could see a couple teams wanting to move up for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you really playing dumb? There were rumors about him going to Miami for Landry, then when asked about why he removed all Bears items from social media he pretty much said “nothing to it,” and many knowledgable football people have discussed Howard not fitting in this offense, so you know the FO and coaches likely agree. Need more than 3 instances or are we done here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymousGM Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Fantastic mock draft! I mean ideal first 7 picks are spot on, plus the trade back scenario with Buffalo is what I've been thinking all along. 1. I like Edmunds, just not in the top-10 2. Price would give our O-line the flexibility we want and move Whitehair back to left-guard 3. Key played out of position last season but showed promise as a pass-rusher the season before The next few picks could change and I'd still be happy.

Aside from Pace or Nagy coming out and saying "yeah, he's not a fit here; we're going to try to trade him" which you know as well as I do that would never happen, what other proof can I have? He's been rumored to be traded TWICE and then when asked about why he was acting strange, he essentially said "no comment." In pro sports, guys rarely come out and threaten to trade players nor do the players come out and ask to be traded for the most part. Again, it seems like too much smoke to me, but yeah, of course I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I needed to take a break because I was just getting sick of this draft (not your mock draft, just the draft overall). I like your moves, I do think that if Rosen is there at 5 or 6 that Buffalo is going to be very aggressive. I don't think they roll the dice until 8 to move up for him because Miami is lurking. Kemoko Turay is a name I really like if we don't address EDGE in round 1 (which more and more I don't think we will do). Gun to my head, I think it's going to be one of: Barkley Chubb Nelson Ward Edmunds Fitzpatrick Roquan Smith Derwin James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gun to my head, I think it's going to be one of: Barkley Chubb Nelson Ward Edmunds Fitzpatrick Roquan Smith Derwin James I agree with you. It seems too obvious to go EDGE. Maybe this thought will make a team like Green Bay move up to 6 or 7 to get their guy. I do love Turay. Watching Rutgers was tough on the corneas, but he was unbelievable. A never ending motor + brute strength. Turay in round 2 and then Aruna in round 4 would be fine by me. I got a text from a friend today asking what 8 guys are on the Bears board. I actually don't think they have 8. Typically teams picking 8-10 only have 5-6. I think the Bears, picking 3 last year, had 4 if I recall Pace's pre-draft press conference. If I had to guess on this year's, I'll say: Edmunds, Barkley, Ward, Smith, James, and Nelson (I don't have Chubb on here because the odds that he's there at 8 are zero).
