[Lake Camelot]

Leave it to Emery to suck at drafting Defense, Bleacher report just gave the Bears a D+ for this reach on Ego Ferguson!!??? another reach at D!!!
Did I mention that this is the only D grade given to any team??

You are really using bleacher report to judge?

wow

Much better pick than Sutton. Ferguson is raw but could be a great 3-tech who can also play the 1-tech. His mix of size and athleticism gives him some big upside.

No but I am listening to other like Kiper and McShae who are saying he was a reach and Walterfootball gave this pick a C-. I think Emery could have done better in the second but that's just me.

And who really gives a dick about draft grades at this point? Worthless speculation

Sent from somewhere somehow

McClellin and Hardin did not work out, it was his first draft.

Anyone writing off Bostic and Greene is an idiot, no one could have been successful behind that garbage line.

Including perennial pro-bowler Lance Briggs. He looked bad last season.

I'm sure "Everyone else" would of passed on Ego til maybe even tomorrow. Both are risks but Nix is asked to stuff the run and he can do that.

Oh do I miss the Bears MSBs! The only damn thing you KNOW is Ego is off the board and Nix is NOT. Damn.

 

[geneatals]

Let's just hope and pray the new dline coaching staff can get these picks going. We all have seen the short comings that happen when you have a poor coaching staff. I think we would all be a little less up in arms if youwe had rod mar coaching them......

 

[WindyCity]

My expectation is that Ferguson win the NT job on 1st and 2nd down where his natural power and lack of technique won't hurt him as much.

-Ratliff plays 3 technique on early downs, which saves him the wear and tear of constant doubles.

-Sutton, Paea and occasionally Houston are our sub package rushers.

Agreed. I'm just curious as to what Emery saw in the guy over others? I don't know too much about him at all.

Correction. All you know for sure is Ego went 51 and Nix barely went in the back half of 3rd round at 83.

btw, I put little to no credence in the media, well really for ANY news let alone evaluating football players, but I thought this was interesting since I did like Sutton even more than Ego. I understand, like Long, Ego is a projected as a project with a big upside and possibly has yet to play even close to his best football yet.

15. DT Will Sutton, Arizona State

NFL Comparison: La’Roi Glover (credit to Matt Waldman)

Where He Wins: Sutton takes advantage of space. Whether it be shooting past reach blocks in the sliver of time afforded to him thanks to an animated first step and forward lean, or hand use and quick feet to generate that separation on his own, Sutton finishes with closing speed. His flexibility to bend and gain positive positioning is tough to find.

Where He Fits: Likely as a three technique in a four man front, could play some in pass rushing situations.

Draft Projection: Too much has been made about his added weight (now down to 295). He isn’t a different player. The foundation of Sutton’s game was never quickness, it was leverage and technical hand use. The weight impacted his balance most of all. Top-64.

I just dont think the second round is for projects

 

[TexasBearfan]

Also, has anyone googled ferguson? There is something wrong w this kid..look how many videos hes in, he loves to be on camera but is a lazyass. The first three rounds are NOT for projects. I think st lois taking donald may have really ruined our draft but ferguson? Ferguson is there late in the third. This kid is basically jemarcus webb in the second round, sorry to be a downer but im pissed. Can any of you name who the other cb was when we had mike brown playing? Can any of you tell me how many superbowls the patriots have won since they lost rodney harrison?

Can any of you tell me how many superbowls the patriots have won since they stopped cheating?

FTFY

In short are you advocating reaching for a safety instead of the perceived reach on Ferguson?

 

[WCL]

I came hear to make the following horrible pun:

If someone gets called for holding against Ferguson, will we hear Trestman say, "Lego my Ego."

You beat me to it by an hour. Well played.

well, either Emery is a genius or all these other scouts are wrong. I hope he pans out, I'm just saying we don't have to be forced
into filling needs through the draft, I guess it's more of an argument of taking best available regardless of position or drafting for need.

Yeah that's a nice thought right? Unfortunately, when you inherit so many glaring needs in such a short time, it's the only way to go. He should have that luxury over the next few years now. Just think for a second what he's done...worst wr corp to one of the best, worst oline, maybe in our history, to above average in one year and I trust he can turn the worst run defense since the early '50s Bears to above average...where much favorable down and distance allows for opportunities to actually have a pass rush! I'm definitely not cutting him short of the 'benefit of the doubt' at this point!
