Murphy now favorite at #9

[IBleedBearsBlood]

Murphy has 15 TFL's in his career, Donald had 28.5 his final year in college.

They are a diff species. Donald only slipped because idiots thought he was too small to play DT.

Honestly, for me, the only difference between these two, is the strength. Strength is what made Aaron Donald so special, aside from all his other good numbers. He had natural explosive strength. Dude did 35 reps, Murphy did 28. That’s the biggest difference for me that I see between them, coming out of college.

If Metcalf, who is huge, was shocked with Donald’s response. Metcalf’s 350 lbs, “oh that’s it”. Geez…

I mean if he is Aaron Donald take him at 9. I don’t think he is and I think they should focus on offense. WR is the top need on the team. Allen does not play 17 games. We have nothing behind the top 2 but trash. Take WR has my vote.

He ain't no Aaron Donald

stupid news

Can't be stupid, it's from Sportsmockery. Now we need to know why someone besides DB70 is posting articles from this trashy site?!

Favorite, according to who? If the Bears don't take Murphy at #9 I garauntee you that he goes no sooner than 14 or 15. Murphy would be a reach and a terrible reach too.

So you mean to tell me that this FO went through hell and high water for the past 3 seasons to end up with 2 top 10 picks in the same draft in order to draft the top QB at #1, then piss away #9 on a reach rather than finally take the QB position and the offense serious enough to build around their young QB?

I REALLY hope not.

I would MUCH rather see Poles finally do what past Bears GMs failed to do by building around their QB in a class where the offensive talent takes the cake and then make a trade before the trade deadline with one of their extra second round picks and latebround change for another stout defensive lineman just like they did with Sweat.


There will be names available before the deadline and they will likely need and extension too but the Bears will have plenty of cap space to pull it off.

Two Top Insiders Claim Chicago Bears Already Have Trade Partner For #9

There is a strong possibility the Chicago Bears might trade the #9 pick, and two serious insiders think they have a taker already.

I would not be upset if they ended up with Murphy, but I certainly would like it a lot better with a trade down like this
