Allen & Lattimore. Injury concerns will cut their careers short. I wish both guys the very best, but worry for them.

Same with Trubs minus injury worries. 1 year wonder TBD. Plus, he'll go to a shitty team which makes it much harder to develop into a successful QB. Dak had all the talent of DAL on his side.

Allan will bring his team value, just might not play in 64 straight games.

Lattimore on the other hand...run from. soft tissue injuries red flag big big time. Hooker seems like an injury prone mental midget as well. But its hard for the physical reincarnation of Ed Reed to fail completely.

-Mitch Trubisky will not be that great. In fact, I think at least 3 other qbs in this class will be better than him in the future.

-Reuben Foster- Just had to pick an Alabama player. A couple of them usually bust in the NFL

-Garrett will be good but I don't think he is the next Von Miller. He physically looks like he will dominate, but his tape doesn't match it. Derek Barnett will be the better pro

I see Alex Brown who fell way to far in the draft. physically. truthfully Alex Brown probably did more in college and Garrett will be lucky to have that pro-production.

its not always true. If you look at the draft where we got Kyle Fuller....there were about 15 good to great players in the top 18. We got just about the only lemon.

But I agree that Adams is the only "can't bust" player in the draft. He is a 100% barring a Teddy Bridgewater level total catostrophic injury.

He could tear an ACL or two and still come back and make pro-bowls someday. Although, watching the Sports Science media very closely you will see that he has

VERY BAD HANDS. I could catch better than him when I was 12.

Trubisky should be ok but might be a "bust" based on draft position. Garrett falls in that category for me but could still have an Alex Brown career...worthy of a first round pick really, but not a #1.

Kizer. Peppers. Foster. all make me suspicous psychologically, I think they could bust. Foster might just be an angry linebacker, I'd remove him. I don't think Peppers has a position and is a questionable "person" and might fall out of the first round.

I think all the Mixon is a first round talent stuff is media hype sensationalizing a dramatic fall do to a mistake. I don't understand how his footage and body of work compares to McCaffery, Cook, or Fournette.

I find Mixon to be one of the best "people" in the draft. I think he is actually one of the nicest kids, and one of the straightest arrows. He is versatile, but still don't see higher than a third round grade, and I think he probably goes late second/early third. I would like him at the top of round 3 but guarantee he is off the Bears board, which is what you get when you don't have free thinkers. Just interview the kid, he is the nicest kid in the draft. Loves his momma, probably goes to church, and is the least likely to drink or get busted smoking too much weed.

But whatever....he made a mistake 3 years ago and is a demon. Don't draft. Forget that they called him a *****, that a gay dude wouldn't handle his own business like a man and his girlfriend posse starting hitting him...he walked in that cafe to hit a man. He was primed...drunk...and then a woman through the first punch. booomm....

fuck we are all animals, we all react. If he had any kind of attitude maybe...but the kid is actually the nicest most humble interview you will find. He settled with the girl and faced her eye to eye. He is the least likley guy to ever have this happen again, because he knows now.

But I just don't get the first round grade bullcrap. He also had the typical Oklahoma offensive line which just overpowers people, like playing for the dallas cowboys.

He will "fall" so the media can make a big deal out of it...omg he lost so much money..blah blah blah...when the NFL probably isn't even docking him outside of a few teams like the Bears and some bargain hunters hoping he drops. Its a media headache and nothing else...his true grade is pick 75-150. There are lots of other talented backs right in his area with greater size/speed measurables...but he fits the modern game well with his good hands.

He doesn't have like Forte numbers or something coming out. He played for a line that gets everybody 5+. He might be the second best back coming out of Oklahoma THIS YEAR.

That is probably going to be my biggest irritant tonight, is the media creating a non-story for sensationalism and NFL "image" of these JUST PUNISHERS of the NFL that have such great integrity not to take such a monster early. hahahahahahaa.

nicest kid ever. not a first round pick at any time in any dimensional reality.

This is not true. Mixon was always a top 10 player, the media was just afraid to say it at the time. Here is a post I made on 01/15/2017 during the time he was labeled undraftable:

"Mixon is the dirty little secret that the media will not address. No one would dare heap any praise on him. Mixon is an elite runner and can catch passes as well as any WR in the country. He is the best all purpose running back in YEARS. He's the best all purpose offensive player in the country. He's in the discussion for greatest Oklahoma RB of all time with Demarco Murray and Adrian Peterson. Mixon is without a doubt one of the top 10 players in the entire country."

Been a Bears fan for over 40 years, only called one Bust ever - 2005 Ced Benson. My tag line was "Anyone But Benson".

Until today: "Anyone But Kizer". Death spiral if he comes on board, so, in other words, welcome aboard Kizer.

Can't argue with a track record like that.

Idk if I'd go as far as calling him a bust, but I don't think he'll live up to his draft billing. IMO, he'll be an alright player but nowhere near pro bowl level.

Mahomes will be a bust
John Ross will be a bust due to injuries
Corey Davis will be a bust
