I dont think any of those 5 guys will be available at those picks though

I'd be pretty damn happy with that draft. I know CCS doesn't like Scourton but if he could become a legit DE in a Dennis Allen offense then that draft is pretty much a dream draft, especially if Membou can play LT.

Scourton was playing pretty heavy last year after he transferred. He put on like 20 lbs for the Texas A&M scheme and it showed. He said he prefers like 265 and that’s how he showed up to the combine. He’s pretty young too. I’m not saying I love him, but there some extra context to him. I, by far, prefer a gamble on him in the 2nd than some of the names we hear in the 1st.

Not going to judge the worthwhileness of a stat like this, but I like how they're measuring something concrete. FWIW, I feel like outside of Carter more people are fans of the interior of the defensive line in this draft than the EDGE rushers. I may be totally off-base on that statement, but it's just the way I see it at the moment.

Definitely a strong IDL draft. I think I’d like the edges more if we didn’t have Dennis Allen. Knowing what he wants in an edge, there are a bunch of guys that are sort of eliminated… or at least I feel they almost certainly won’t draft. I think teams who like smaller, faster guys will love Green and Pearce, and even Walker.

This.
I don’t want Warren but if Johnson wants him, then so be it. I’d much rather hate a pick and be dead wrong than to love a pick and be dead wrong about that. I don’t care how they come to the conclusion on who to draft as long as they hit on the pick.

It's all about the Bears winning and to do that they need to hit on their picks no matter what any of us think about those picks.

Would love either of those DT’s

I don't want to give up our 3rd round pick to go with one of those two 2nd's to get back into the bottom of the 1st round but to get Harmon or Nolen i wouldn't hate it. I know some have Nolen making it to the early 2nd but don't think he does and if he did he won't make it to #39 IMO.

I agree

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Pearce is going to be picked in the first round......................I just don't know where the hell that might be.

Everyone talks about his character issues but I still don’t know what they supposedly are.

If they're real then they will come out before the 1st round starts. If they don't then they don't exist.

This.

And it’s annoying that that’s the case with Dennis Allen and his defense.

This is just a friendly reminder that college stats don’t mean shit:

Michael Haynes is tied for second on Penn States single season sack leader list with 15 in 2002. (Had 5.5 total in 3 seasons with the Bears)

Chandler Jones had 10 sacks total in 3 years of college ball. (4.5 being his best year). Had 112 in his NFL career.

Shea McClellin had 20.5 sacks at Boise. 8.5 in the NFL.

 

[DefNextYear]

Just thought this exchange was kind of funny. One moment he says the Bears shouldn’t trade up for a RB… “not this year”, but then implies other teams would be willing to trade up… as if it’s stupid to think they wouldn’t move up. Can’t really have it both ways.

Yea no way. I think the media might be underrating him a bit. I definitely don’t think he’s making it out of the first. I think he’s actually gone by 25.

Consider me all in on the Derek Harmon train. Dude is the versatile 3T the interior needs. Got the size, production, best DT tape in the draft, better than Graham imo. I’m just hoping Poles and Allen can see it too.

He has elite first step quickness, rip and pull power, in a lot of the film I’ve seen, he’s either blowing by people or rag dolling them. He seems to create absolute havoc on the interior. Last year, my favorite tape on dline was Verse, this year it’s Harmon.

I’d then go Landon Jackson with one of the seconds and the best available OT or RB with the other. You’d fix the dline for a long time with this set up.

Everyone talks about his character issues but I still don’t know what they supposedly are.

According to Dane Brugler's THE BEAST, he was arrested for speeding, driving on a suspended license, and failure to present insurance - but all charges were dropped. It also says that scouts are wary if he has the right amount of "love of the game." Which probably means he murdered two or three white women while at Tennessee.

I don't remember if it was on The Score, or on a podcast, but there was somewhere I heard that UT basically kept him away from the media.

Sounds like Shea is ready to turn the corner.

Far be it from me to defend Gregggggggggg, but is it possible that he's saying it isn't the year for the Bears to make that move, but for other teams it might be the right time?

Well that’s not a good thing lol

I don’t think so. The “especially this year “ refers to depth at RB so it would not apply only to the Bears.

He’s an idiot.

But it brings up a point: the Saints could definitely be a spot for a team to trade up for Jeanty given all the hoopla about CHI and Jeanty. We’ll see how their QB situation transpires.

The only team i could see being dumb enough to trade up for a RB in the top 10 is jerry and the cowboys
