NFL Draft - Day 1 (Round 1)

[bamainatlanta]

Of course they would take that. Unfortunately I doubt very much his trade value is anything close to that.

I think he gets a 5th at best. Maybe a future 4th, unlikely though

 

[mvnup2]

I know the Jags paid a lot, maybe too much, but he's one of the best WRs (if not the best) and the best corner. He'd have been a top-10 if he was exclusive to either; instead he's a top 10 at both. The question will be can he stay healthy.

I didn't have him as even a top 5 receiver.

Johnson uses two TE sets.

We are all along for the ride, see how it works out.

 

[hyatt151]

WOW, Green, Pearce jr really sliding

 

[ijustposthere]

There was not a top 20 worthy OT available at 10. Loveland was the #5 prospect per NFL.com Not in love with the pick but the 1st 9 went about as bad as possible for the Bears.

Agreed. I was really hoping they'd trade back after jeanty went to the raiders

 

[Nelly]

Been reading up on the fanboy blogs where they've been pumping up Amegadjie have you?

Nope. Drafting Loveland could mean a whole lot of things, we don't know. Just postulating something. Sorry for insulting you though or something.

 

[EDPeezy]

At this point Kmet is on the block. 4th might do it.

Yeah. I doubt they could get what they feel he’s worth in a trade. He probably plays out this year and gets cut.

 

[bearsfan1977]

LaPorta wasn't blue chip either.............................

I don’t care. They are different players and one has nothing to do with the other.

He is not. Bears will be using 2 TE sets

 

[Xplosive]

The Bears didnt have the worst offense in the league. Not sure where you read your stats from.

Go check which offense had the least yards in the NFL last season genius.

 

[bamainatlanta]

Then he doesn't really offer much in terms of mismatches. When you can put Loveland in-line and get some quality blocking or move him out to the perimeter and be able to win matchups, you have something. Otherwise, why not just draft another receiver and play a bunch of 3 WR sets?

Not true. And Loveland aint some amazing blocker either

 

[remydat]

Says the guy with the most meatball takes on the entire forum

Bro, you're an absolute tool. I don't give a **** about your shitty football takes

They probably could've traded back and STILL got Loveland

Maybe or maybe the Colts had him as the top TE as well. Spilt milk now but feel free to cry about it until Sept and then it will be decided on the field.

Also, I didnt give a football take as I have no clue about whether Loveland will be good. Ben Johnson gave his football take by drafting Loveland so the question is whether his football take is better than yours.

Agreed. I think it would be a 5th.

Who was going to trade up to 11? What's happened since then backs that up. Walker slide to #15, the Colts saw Warren still available. No QBs worth moving up for.

The board fell badly for the Bears and they likely just had to go with the best offensive player on their board.

 

[bamainatlanta]

That doesnt mean you have the worst offense genius.

You probably aren't smart enough (correction you aren't smart enough) to understand DVOA or other advanced metrics but I'm not going to even bother.

 

[remydat]

Only so many balls to go around. Kmet is now a 13 million dollar blocking TE. I guess Johnson really values those slightly undersized hybrid TE types.

6-6, 248 with 10 inch hands is not really undersized. He is taller with bigger hands than Warren and 8 pounds lighter.

 

[DanielCCSBears]

Nope. Drafting Loveland could mean a whole lot of things, we don't know. Just postulating something. Sorry for insulting you though or something.

It's an interesting postulation given that Amegadjie was awful last year and it was almost universally agreed upon at the end of the year.

And then the fanboy blogs started pumping him up and then Poles said he had a good game etc. Then after that came the Washington game breakdown

 

[hyatt151]

expecting the bears to go RB and safety in the 2nd

 

[Xplosive]

That doesnt mean you have the worst offense genius.

You probably aren't smart enough (correction you aren't smart enough) to understand DVOA or other advanced metrics but I'm not going to even bother.

So the offense that gained the least yards isn't the worst, and the defense that gave up the least isn't the best.

Cool story bro.

Loveland is a good enough athlete to flex out to receiver in spots, too. He synchronizes with Kmet really well.
