Okay kids, here's how it will work this year. As we head into the weekend, we're going to separate the contest into two parts. Part one will be guessing correctly who the Bears will select with their only day one choice. Everyone who gets that choice right will have the opportunity to guess the Sunday choices. The most correct Sunday selections will get the opportunity to write a Wednesday column for the main page, analyzing the Bears' draft.
For the sake of debate, I'll give you the five players I expect to be high on the list at #49.
(5) Who the hell knows?
(4) Juaquin Iglesias, WR, Oklahoma
(3) Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina
(2) Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers
(1) Brian Robiskie, WR, Ohio State
Post your picks below and I'll be back when the selection is made or if anything important happens.

#7 zisk said . . .First time posting - I love the site. Makes me feel like I am back home while I cheer for the Bears out here in Seattle.
You did make the mistake of leaving out Mohamed Massoquoi. He's my pick for most likely Bears Round 2 pick, but I am hoping for Robiskie to be there for the Bears.
Can't wait to see Cutler hit Hester in stride for a TD against the Packer's opening weekend!

April 24, 2009
#9 JWilson said . . .one- Bears have two 1st day picks Mr. "Big Bears Fan". They have as second and a compensatory 3rd round(99th overall I believe).
Two- love Nicks, but he won't be there. Mohammad Mossaquoi will be and that's their pick.
April 24, 2009
#10 Urlacher FTW said . . .My guess is Juaquin Iglesias.
April 24, 2009
#11 JWilson said . . .Mohammad Mossaquoi
and yah they have pick 99 as well, I'd say Chung there if he lasts.
April 24, 2009
#12 Urlacher FTW said . . .Anonymous,
I could be wrong but, I believe 1st day of the draft ends at the end the 2nd round. So any 3rd round picks would be made the 2nd day.
April 24, 2009
#13 Urlacher FTW said . . .Man all the good team like Indy and NE who are set at WR have to be salivating with all these WRs set to go in the 1st round, they should get great value.
April 24, 2009
#14 CalvinJames said . . .yah 1 and 2 are Sat and 3-7 on Sunday
April 24, 2009
#15 CSauce said . . .Rashad Johnson
Safety, good run support skills
JA is going WR in the 3rd round because:
A) the top end receivers will be gone
B) he still believes in Davis and BennettApril 24, 2009

#17 Sarcastiholic said . . .i do love how "Anonymous" insults me with incorrect information. what a jackass.
so everyone's clear. the draft is now rounds 1 and 2 on saturday. 3-7 are on sunday.
anything else, pal? and if you wanna question my bears fandom, i'm pretty sure you'll lose.

#18 Brad said . . .What happens if nobody gets the pick right? What happens if Angelo has an acid flashback and picks a DL?

#20 Urlacher FTW said . . .by the way, i fully expect a defensive tackle.
April 24, 2009
#21 Duff Diggler said . . .DT would be monumentally stupid. We already have like 7 of them on the roster. Not saying they won't do it, just saying it would be ignorant.
We need a starter on day 1. We have converted corners at WR (Hester and Davis)and possibly FS (Bowman) that we will be asking to start if changes aren't made. We are also asking Idonijie to change to DE because of the surplus at DT and lack of DEs. We have Pro Bowl talent in Harris, consistentcy in Adams and an up and comer in Harrison. On top of all that Raji is most likely the only impact DT in the draft and he will be gone in the top of the 1st, why on earth would we take a DT?

#22 BDG said . . .William Moore, SS, Missouri
Duff Digglerdomous hath spoken....
April 24, 2009
#23 jeff said . . .Very doubtful Nicks or Britt make it to us.
Top 5 possibilities that will be there in my mind. No particular order
1.Brian Robiskie wr
2.Juaquin Iglesias wr
3.Rashad Johnson s
4.Mohamed Massaquoi wr
5.Robert Ayers de
Other ones to watch Patrick Chung s, Derrick Williams wr, Larry English de, and Jarron Gilbert de/dtI gotta go with Rashad Johnson

#24 Portuguese Bear Fan said . . .i'll say this about ghosts of drafts past. wide receiver position is always the enigma. if no one grabs a guy late first, early second - they could all be there. or there could be a run in the first. no one ever knows.
April 24, 2009
#25 Spanish Bear said . . .100% Rashad Johnson!

April 24, 2009
#31 KentuckyBearsFan said . . .Angelo will be ultra-conservative with this pick, because he needs it to stick. Roberto Garza is the weak link on the O-Line (remember every 4th and short handoff to Jason McKie last year that went backwards). And because the best run blocking OGuard in the draft will be available at # 49 (as opposed to the 5th or 6th best WR), this will be the selection:
OG Duke RobinsonAs a result of this, RG may be a cap casualty or trade bait come mid-June...
Get Some!!
April 24, 2009
#32 Max said . . .Maybe Angelo will trade the pick.
Maybe for a 3rd and 4th rounder?
Our defense still stinks.
April 24, 2009
#33 Max said . . .Phatom... I like that. I dont know if itll happen, but I am all for improving the O-line. (Although I think it should be Beekman and Omiyale starting at guards) Beekman showed alotta promise last year and Omiyale was our "Big" free agent signing. But who knows?
I am still thinking...

#35 Albert in Tucson said . . .Something is wrong in the NFL,
Cleveland wants a first rounder and more for a WR who had the dropsies, was well under 1000 yards, had 3 TDs and wasn't mentioned for the ProBowl.
KC trades away the only bright spot on that awful team for a 2nd rounder straight up in Gonzalez who while old is essentially the measuring stick for all TEs in the league today, went to the ProBowl (he basically has a permanent spot there I think), had over 1000 yards receiving, and 10 TDs.
Then over in KC they reward Delsuckass for throwing away their playoff hopes (quite literally) by signing his sorry whiny ass to a 5 year extension.
WTF is going on?April 24, 2009
#36 Urlacher FTW said . . .I read thatwhile Massaquoi is a prime physical speciman, he is not a polished receiver. When it comes to getting off the line and running routes. I don't theink the Bear receiving corps needs another "work in progress" at this time. Supposedly, Iglesias stock is on the rise. After Mark Bradley, Oklahoma OWES us a wideout who can stay on the field for more than 2 games at a stretch..

#37 Spawn of Ditka said . . .Seeing as we are more than likely not going to get a startable WR.. take the best FREE SAFETY, and.. excuse me while I paraphrase:

#38 Urlacher FTW said . . .Rashad Johnson.
April 24, 2009
#39 Urlacher FTW said . . .ESPN is reporting now that the Cards are willing to take less for Boldin, like a #2 and something else. How about a #2 and Vasher! OMG how hot would that be? We get Cutler with our # pick, Boldin with our #2 pick and sign a FS with #99.
April 24, 2009
#40 GAMEBOY said . . .Jeff, please redo a plea to Jerry o get this done, now we really do have enough ammo. What do they want a 2nd and Dusty, a 2nd and Vash; you name the flavor and do it. Can you imagine our Bears with Cutler protected by Pace throwing to Boldin..... we would have to write nice things about JA for a long long time if he gets this done.
April 24, 2009
#41 jeff said . . .OUR 2ND ROUND PICK WILL GO TO ARIZONA IN A TRADE FOR ANQUAN BOLDIN. :)
April 24, 2009
#42 Urlacher FTW said . . .you know what's funny? how routinely people killed me for saying trade our draft for boldin.
April 24, 2009
#43 Fresno, CA BEAR FAN said . . .Jeff - in the begining they wanted a 1st rounder plus for him, our whole draft isn't tradeable, only like 5 of the 8 picks are and those 5 added up aren't worth a round 1; he was realistically out of reach. Now that they lowered the ante, we could get him.
April 24, 2009
#44 Sarcastiholic said . . .RASHAD JOHNSON or WILLIAM MOORE
April 24, 2009
#45 jeff said . . .If we draft: DL Marlon Favorite
Angelo will strike again where it hurts.
I'm hoping he reconsiders and can work some magic with the 2nd pick and somehow bet Boldin.
I'm sweating thinking about it.
April 24, 2009
#46 Urlacher FTW said . . .what i'm saying is i never believed the number one pick crap to begin with. other than the outrageous cowboys trade, receivers routinely get traded for less.

#48 CalvinJames said . . .grr sorry bout that repost, weird.
I'm not trying to argue with you jeff, I'm just saying I have always wanted him just that when you said it a week ago we couldn't afford what they were asking; now we can.
April 24, 2009
#49 jeff said . . .The Cardinals are not (that) stupid, they will want more than Dusty or Vasher or some other player the Bears are already ready to do without. How about Boldin for the 2nd Round pick and Tillman? or Alex Brown?

I agree with Phantom again, Jeff Boldin post #2.... PLEASE
BOLDIN!
For my pick I am taking...
April 24, 2009
#54 CSauce said . . .... Lawrence Sidbury. Why? Cause he is a lineman and it is Jerry Angelo
April 24, 2009
#55 Fresno, CA BEAR FAN said . . .I'm going to go ahead and change my pick (can we do that?):
Angelo trades up a bit and snags a sliding KENNY BRITT.
April 24, 2009
#56 Shady McDraft Fan said . . .HONESTLY- if the Cards wanna let go Boldin go for a 2nd round pick...I would definately do that!
April 24, 2009
#57 Atticus said . . .Max you stole my thunder.
Lawrence Sidbury Jr. - DE out of Richmond (go Spiders!)
I was tempted to pick Jarron Gilbert DT out of San Jose St.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXDSPbZ_OUw
But he'll most likely be gone by 49.I thought it was funny after reading your B/R post about Angelo pissing you off with a d-line pick instead of a WR or S at 49. That's also part of the reason I voted "other" on your poll. It's funny how I can pull up your blog entries at work but not this site... And by funny I mean it sucks.
I don't quite understand the format this year, do we just pick one guy and hope we're right? If not too bad for day 2? What if no one gets it right? I like last years format - points for guessing position and bonus if you can correctly guess the player.
I'd like to see people's Bears mock drafts rounds 2-7 - I'll post mine later this evening.

#59 NittyGritty34 said . . .Arizona is shooting everybody's offers down. It's gonna take our 2nd, our 4th, and Urlacher, for Boldin and maybe a 6th.
I know what Miami did last year, I know we should have gone at least 12-4 last year, and I know this is a win now league, but I think this unit needs 1-3 years to get to an elite status. I'd be happy if we addressed our defensive problems with this draft (along with at least 2 crapshoot WRs), give the receivers we have all the opportunity to perform, and then look at the UFA WRs for 2010.
....and as far as the recent attacks on Jeff are concerned....
yes, he has been drinking the Cutler Kool-Aid like the rest of us, and yes, some of his recent posts have been eccentric. But the man knows his shit. If you're going to come at him, come correct. More and more, some of you idiots have been putting your feet in your mouths. Don't bite the hand that feeds you....
April 24, 2009
#60 Max said . . .Boldin Boldin Boldin was born to be a Bear! Big, tough, ....get him please!
My pick: 49th pick traded for Boldin (wishful thinking).
April 24, 2009
#61 big ten speed said . . .Thanks Shady. I voted other on my own poll just for the fun of it. The only reason I really would enjoy the Sidbury pick is because then me and you would be fighting over rounds 3-7.
NittyGritty... I hope you are right.

#63 Grizzly Bear said . . ."A 2nd round pick and some other consideration"-Sal Paolantonio .
That's all it takes to get ANQUAN BOLDIN. Do Y0u think JA has one more in him? Our 2nd and Vasher?April 25, 2009
#64 Reverend Dave said . . .How about Ramses Barden? Big guy for Jay to throw it up to.
April 25, 2009
#65 Shady said . . .Eccentric? For Jeff the recent posts havent even been close to eccentric.
April 25, 2009
#66 DTB said . . .Grizz, I think Barden would be a great addition to the team especially for plays in the end zone. The problem with draftung him at 49 is the fact you're losing a bit of value. Barden is a big target, but he's a slower possession type receiver whose never played against elite corners and safeties.
If Ramses were around in the 3rd for Chicago I think it would be a great pick, but I have a feeling he's going to go to someone like Pittsburgh late in the 2nd rd. or to the Giants in the early 3rd.
April 25, 2009
#67 Grizzly Bear said . . .It's gotta be Massaqoui. Every single highlight I see of Stafford, our boy is on the recieving end. I hope that recievers get pushed back, similar to '08. We need a player on the outside, damn it!
So face Mecca and pray for Mohammed!
April 25, 2009
#68 Rancid said . . .I was just thinking Barden, together with the speedy presence of Hester. Along with the familar face in Bennett, plus two pretty good tight ends, and a pleasant surprise in forte. Might bring something different to the table. Ya know, just that different kind of weapon.
P.S. We did spend some money on that o-line.April 25, 2009
#69 Shady said . . .Michael Johnson - There's about a 1% chance he falls somehow. . . So you're saying there's a chance>
April 25, 2009
#70 Shady said . . .OK so I've narrowed it down to 16:
Conor Barwin DE Cincinnati
William Beatty OT Connecticut
Jemon Meredith OT S. Carolina
Kenny Britt WR Rutgers
Brian Robiskie WR Ohio St.
Jerry Peria DT Ole Miss
Phil Loadholt OT Oklahoma
Rashad Johnson S Alabama
Juaquan Iglesias WR Oklahoma
Paul Kruger DE Utah
Alphonso Smith CB Wake Forest
Chip Vaughn S Wake Forest
Darcel McBath S Texas Tech
Mohamed Massaquoi WR Georgia
William Moore S Missouri
Sherrod Martin S Troy St.April 25, 2009
#71 Shady McDraft Fan said . . .Jerry Angelo on selecting a WR with the 49th pick:
"I don't want to draft a receiver to get the media off my back only to find out he's just a vanilla cone. We want to come out with something that has sprinkles on it. A little twist to it. Bring a little playmaking ability to the position. We want a guy that has a little juice to him."
April 25, 2009
#72 Phantom One said . . .It's official, Matthew Stafford will now be the new punching bag for the Bears twice a year.
According to a source, Stafford will receive a six-year, $41.7 million deal that could be worth $78 million if he achieves all of his playing incentives. The source also said he will receive $41.7 million in guarantees. That tops the $41 million in guarantees Albert Haynesworth received from the Washington Redskins.
April 25, 2009
#73 Phantom One said . . .Right now Jerry Angelo is asking himself, how much? How much am I willing to give up to get Anquan Boldin?
And his answer will be - just enough. We can afford to give up our second, 1 of our 5ths, and Nate Vasher in return for an elite WR that we will have to pay elite money. We have the cap room, and our other needs can be addressed with more short term solutions.
Give Jay Boldin.
Wishful thinking, but this is doable. He just needs to adhere to the same principle he used to get JC, be in it to win it, because if he doesn't, Philly/NYG/or the Vikings will.
April 25, 2009
#74 Shady said . . .P.S: Anquan Boldin has sprinkles (see # 70).

#75 FRESNO,CA BEAR FAN said . . .The first WR the Bears draft will now have the nickname "sprinkles"
April 25, 2009
#76 NY Bears Fan said . . .haha Sprinkles.......
April 25, 2009
#77 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .For the ESPN analysts that said we gave up too much for Jay Cutler. Ask them this would you rather have Jay Culter or the first pick and this years draft? Without a single down of NFL football the Lions are overpaying Matthew Stafford, we have a QB with a few years that has proved he can sling it. Did we overpay...I think not.

#78 Mongo's Chihuahua said . . .ESPN ANALYST ALL SWAP CUM WITH ONE ANOTHER!
April 25, 2009
#79 Grizzly Bear said . . .I don't know one draftable safety from another, but I do know this. The Bears have significantly upgraded their offense this off-season -- Cutler, Pace, Omiyale, etc. -- but they haven't done scoot for the defense. If they can get a safety with cover talent -- they have Payne to play in the box -- they gotta do it.
Oh, yeah, and can somebody PLEASE steal all the Cover 2 pages out of the defensive playbook?
April 25, 2009
#80 zmac said . . .We all saw what I had to say about Barden. Let me just say if not Barden then some other WR, cause it is something we need. I have been a Bears fan for too long, and had to sit here and watch all these other teams taking all the chances. BREAKING NEWS Da Bears finally stopped being gunshy and pulled the trigger on a gunslinger. Now we just need somebody to shoot at. Adress the defense, but PLEASE ANGELO show your nuts on da first one.
April 25, 2009
#81 KidronMusic said . . .Barden is a huge stretch at #49... 99 seems about right for him. I think Patrick Turn could be had later in the draft, and I think he is better than Barden. Patrick Turner is also a nice big target.
I think we draft Johnson at 49. We need a safety.
April 25, 2009
#82 Phantom One said . . .Well, I think we are going to draft Rashad Johnson.
I think there will be a run on WR in the begining of the 2nd round, and about 7 will be gone by the time we're on the clock, so we will look to get a better value at Free Safety.
However, since so many people here are also picking Rashad Johnson, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Louis Delmas falls to us, and we take him!
BTW, I would be thrilled if this actually happens.
April 25, 2009
#83 Murph said . . .For all of you wanting to draft a WR @ 49, why on earth would you want to settle for the 6th 7th or 8th best WR in this draft when you can get the best player in the draft at another position, that would likely help our team even more than a project WR?
I don't get it.
I agree we need to pick up a WR, but is our first pick in this draft the time?
Love David Haugh's piece in the Trib this morning:

April 25, 2009
#84 MikeBrownhadaPosse said . . .This rumor is getting thrown around, our second and Hester for Boldin. Would anyone pull the trigger on that deal? A lotta potential for a sure thing?
April 25, 2009
#85 BDG said . . .Hester and a 2nd for Boldin? Nope.
Vasher/Manning/"fill in the Defensive Lineman" and a 2nd for Boldin? Sure.I don't see JA unloading Hester - too much time and now money invested in him to be a throw-in in that trade. I can't remember one significant injury that Devin has sustained and Boldin has plenty. I think, frankly, that the 2nd rounder by itself should be enough to get him. If the Bears toss in a player, it'll be someone that was starter-"quality" that just couldn't get on the field. Whoever named Vasher first...
That said, I wish I hadn't made my pick so early...now if I'm right, I have half of the board picking with me on Sunday!
April 25, 2009
#86 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .I wouldn't do the Hester and a second for Boldin. If we traded Hester we would be right back to needing someone to stretch the field(That's not Boldin's game). We need our picks this year, we will be o.k. at WR for a year. We will sign a FA or 2 after the draft. There will be some new FA WR's cut from other teams too.We have to keep the picks we have, Urlacher, Briggs, A.Brown Ogun, Peanut, these guys aren't spring chickens anymore so we HAVE to get some depth this year or we will be really in trouble down the line. I think there is a better chance we trade down for more picks then to trade our picks for ANY WR. (1) season and there is a whole new crop of FA WR's, so if nobody steps up this year they will sign a big name wr next year.
April 25, 2009
#87 BDG said . . .BDG- your right about the WR...we need to create depth at some positions with this years draft...and also HELLO! we need a SAFTEY!......cmon everybody josh bullocks? are you serious? josh bullocks is a cream puff...somebody say PUSSY!....I would burn this guy over the top!
I dont think our WR corps is as bad as people think..but our Secondary is as bad!April 25, 2009
#88 O-Line wins games said . . .Agreed Fresno. Also, people have to remember that we had a pretty damn good running game that is just going to be that much better with our improved offensive line so NO Braylon, NO Boldin. We will be very solid without them and we need to build for the future not THIS year. You have to give JA some credit for some off his late round picks. He doesn't draft as bad as Jeff and some think.
April 25, 2009
#89 Max said . . .Louis Delmas.
April 25, 2009
#90 BDG said . . .Blah Blah Blah... 2 hours til draft time. I already know that I am going to start off pissed cause I betcha anything that the Lions use at least 8 of their 10 minutes before announcing Matthew Stafford as their QB. Which is dumb since he is already signed.
April 25, 2009
#91 BDG said . . .I'm starting to want Rashad Johnson as bad as I wanted Greg Olsen to fall when we got him. Trouble is I was SURE the Bears would take Olsen I'm not sure who the hell we will take this year.
April 25, 2009
#92 Max said . . .I just hope Rashad is an option when we pick to at least get the blood pumping
April 25, 2009
#93 Max said . . .Hey wow, Stafford went No. 1 ... Didn't see that one coming
April 25, 2009
#94 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Taylor No. 2. Not a real surprise either.
April 25, 2009
#95 Max said . . .Jason Smith went No.2
Taylor???
I think the chiefs should draft Aarron CurryApril 25, 2009
#96 BDG said . . .HA. Yeah, Jason Smith. I was thinking Jason Taylor. My bad
April 25, 2009
#97 BDG said . . .Where you at Kidron? You around today?
April 25, 2009
#98 Max said . . .If I were the chiefs I would trade down or take Monroe and their Oline would be great for years
April 25, 2009
#99 BDG said . . .In Mel Kiper's first mock draft... didnt he have Tyson Jackson going to the Bears at No 18? Somehow he moved up 15 spots in a month and a half? weird
April 25, 2009

April 25, 2009
#101 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .He's a perfect 3-4 end I didn't like him
April 25, 2009

April 25, 2009
#103 Max said . . .I wanna know how you go from nearly in the 20s to being a top 5 pick... As the Rev just said when I called him, its good to know that despite new management, the Chiefs can still fuck up
April 25, 2009
#104 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .There is the Curry pick at number 4
April 25, 2009
#105 Anonymous said . . .Aaron Curry is a fucking Beast
April 25, 2009
#106 Kidron Music said . . .I'm here buddy...
Just laughinh at the Chiefs for that...
The deal is, with the 3-4 they play, they're DE's don't need to rush the passer, so Tyson Jackson is a good fit.
BUT, that means that they need really versatile, athletic LB's...
So WHY WOULD THEY PASS ON CURRY?

#107 BDG said . . .oops, that was me, not anonymous...
April 25, 2009
#108 Max said . . .yeah from what I've heard Jackson isn't that bad of a pick. Not too many true 3-4 ends in this draft. I loved Curry but I would build from the front back too.
April 25, 2009
#109 Max said . . .I say Curry woulda been the better call. There is no way a player can go from 18th projected to No 3 in a month and a half. I mean this guy wasn't even projected in the top 10 until a week or two ago.
Curry is the best defensive player in the draft. Coulda gotten Jackson further down.
April 25, 2009
#110 Max said . . .Jets just traded to #5, they are takin Sanchez
April 25, 2009
#111 BDG said . . .Jets just traded to #5, they are takin Sanchez
April 25, 2009
#112 Kidron Music said . . .I'm kinda surprised with their depth at LB even with the lose of Peterson the Seahawks didn't grab Monroe. Not often you get a shot at a elite LT and with Walter Jones getting old and having micro fracture surgery I would have had to take Monroe. But Curry is a stud and Mora likes defense. Gonna have a ton of money tied up in 3 LB's now
April 25, 2009
#113 BDG said . . .I'm just glad the Redskins didn't get Sanchez...
I had heard several rumors that the Redskins would trade up to get Sanchez, and then trade Jason Campbell to the Vikings.
Not the Jason Campbell is terrifying, but I love playing against Travaris Jackson twice a year!
April 25, 2009
#114 Max said . . .Agreed Kidron,
Heard that rumer too and Jason Campbell is way better than anyone on the Queens rosterApril 25, 2009
#115 BDG said . . .Looking at the Queens QB's, that aint saying much
April 25, 2009
#116 Kidron Music said . . .very true. and let's keep it that way lol
April 25, 2009
#117 Max said . . .Sshh! Don't let the Vikings hear you!
They are prepared to let Travaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels duke it out for the right to be the starting QB!
Don't anybody let them know that's a terrible plan!
April 25, 2009
#118 Max said . . .Andre Smith to the Bengals... they need him as long as he isn't a headcase
April 25, 2009
#119 Max said . . .WHAT!! Heyward-Bey at No. 7????????
April 25, 2009
#120 Kidron Music said . . .God the Raiders SUCK
April 25, 2009
#121 BDG said . . .Oh, the Raiders just drafted Troy Williamson 2.0.
I was really hoping he fell to the Vikings so they could make that mistake again.April 25, 2009
#122 Max said . . .Two perfect fits. Troubled player for Cincy and Balzing speed reach for Oakland. They will regret not getting Crabtree or Macklin
April 25, 2009
#123 Rancid said . . .Heyward-Bey was the FIRST RECEIVER TAKEN?!?!?!? Al Davis, WTF should be your initials.
... Jesus
April 25, 2009
#124 animal said . . .Crabtree had better not go to the fudgepackers
April 25, 2009
#125 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .the Raiders continue to be retarded.
April 25, 2009
#126 BDG said . . .Raiders are so fucking stupid!
hahaha I live around Raider fans and now I get to laught at them!April 25, 2009
#127 BDG said . . .Passed up two probable studs for a BIG chance at speed demon paying off. Typical Al Davis pick. They could have traded down 15 spots and got him probably
April 25, 2009
#128 Max said . . .This does suck that they just gave one more sure thing option to G.B.
April 25, 2009
#129 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Im going on break at work. Be back later
April 25, 2009
#130 animal said . . .thats who the raider should of got...Eugene Monroe
April 25, 2009
#131 BDG said . . .If the Pack take Crab here, we have two of the best young WRs in the game in our division (with CJ)
April 25, 2009
#132 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .B.J.Raji the best nose tackle possible to switch to a 3-4 with. It sucks but hopefully he can eat himself out of the league shortly
April 25, 2009
#133 BDG said . . .BJ Raji? just another DT for Forte to run over!
April 25, 2009
#134 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Rali is going to be like Vince Wolfork I think. I hope I'm wrong but he's a good pick for G.B.
April 25, 2009
#135 BDG said . . .FUCK GREEN BAY and there PICKS!
April 25, 2009
#136 Max said . . .I know we have some monster D-line in our division now so Beekman better get on a healthy weight gaining plan if he is our future center. You can bet Detriot is looking to add a big boy to play the Hanseworth role for Schwartz too
April 25, 2009
#137 Max said . . .how has Maclin not been taken??? Damn
April 25, 2009
#138 Max said . . .Fuck the Packers...
April 25, 2009
#139 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Shit, Britt or Robiskie might actually make it to us... if they do, do we still go for a safety?
April 25, 2009
#140 Kidron Music said . . .max- who knows? the way this draft is going...shit who knows
April 25, 2009
#141 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .I still think there will be a run on WR's... all these teams that passed on WR's in the first round will still have a pick before us in the 2nd.
If anyone falls a lot, it could Hakeem Nicks, and I would love that, I think he has the potential to be exactly what we need.
He's gotten some bad press for gaining weight, and a poor wonderlic score, but if he was perfect, he wouldn't fall as much as we want him too.
April 25, 2009
#142 Kidron Music said . . .who just saw that drew rosenhaus commercial? that shit wa funny!
April 25, 2009
#143 Max said . . .I hope Maclin doesn't end up in Minny... that would make me a little sad. Or Nicks or Britt.
I hope it's Percy Harvin. I think he is the best bust potential left that the WR would want.
April 25, 2009
#144 Max said . . .Amen... although, I think I am slowly becoming part of the we-need-a-safety party. Ah hell, only 2 more hours to go
April 25, 2009
#145 Max said . . .Whoa, Philly jumping up there for him
They got some fast receivers
April 25, 2009
#146 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Come on Anquan Boldin. Philly just dropped out there with the Maclin pick
April 25, 2009
#147 Kidron Music said . . .are the browns just trying to avoid a draft pick?
April 25, 2009
#148 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Fresno, I love that commercial...
ESPN has always had great spots.
April 25, 2009
#149 Max said . . .aww fuck it BEARS trade for Anquan Boldin
April 25, 2009
#150 BDG said . . .I almost hope the Lions take Harvin... god that would be awesome
April 25, 2009
#151 Max said . . .where can I find out what cleveland is getting for these trade downs?
April 25, 2009
#152 Max said . . .What Fresno?
April 25, 2009
#153 BDG said . . .Pettigrew could be good. Giving Stafford some targets over there
April 25, 2009
#154 Max said . . .Glad Detroit didn't improve their defense yet. I'm happy with their picks so far
April 25, 2009
#155 Max said . . .Go Cleveland... Alex Mack
April 25, 2009
#156 Max said . . .YES MINNESOTA! YES YES YES... idiots
April 25, 2009
#157 Who's Laughing Now said . . .Percy Harvin... wow
April 25, 2009
#158 MikeBrownhadaPosse said . . .Rashad Johnson
April 25, 2009
#159 BDG said . . .Percy Harvin at 22?
Reach.
April 25, 2009
#160 Max said . . .I agree Harvin has a lot of BUST potential. Here's to hoping he lives up to it. Him and A.P. will be injured and out of the league in 3 years
April 25, 2009
#161 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Baltimore traded up... hope they take a receiver...
April 25, 2009
#162 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .i dont know about this draft it isnt going like any mock draft! mel kiper U SUCK! mcshay U SUCK! who will fall to the bears?
April 25, 2009
#163 BDG said . . .ravens are about to get Percy Harvin
April 25, 2009
#164 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Wishful thinking of course but it's feasible
April 25, 2009
#165 Max said . . .aww shit nevermind the Queense already got him.
April 25, 2009
#166 Kidron Music said . . .Dang, Oher to Ravens
April 25, 2009
#167 animal said . . .Hmmm, Raven's still need a WR. They will probably take one in the second now.
April 25, 2009
#168 Max said . . .Man, I hope like hell Hakim Nicks falls to us. For anyone who doesn't think this is huge, remember these guys are 2nd round picks of the Bears:
Forte
Hester
D.Manning
Tank Johnson
Bradley
TillmanPretty good players. The Bears messed up with Bradley, and Bazuin was a dumb pick. But our track record in the 2nd is pretty good overall.
April 25, 2009
#169 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .So does Boldin move here once the second round starts???
April 25, 2009
#170 BDG said . . .Bradley was good but he got hurt too much......God today is great! Draft day, Mexican food, Family and friends, and cases of Coors Light!...I love the NFL
April 25, 2009
#171 Max said . . .I still think Nicks is too good to make it to us, someone will trade up for him most likely. If he does fall it's a no brainer
April 25, 2009
#172 Max said . . .Damn Fresno,
I am sitting at a desk in my security officer uniform, angry because I missed three or four picks and about 20 minutes of my break being stuck on an elevator. No good mexican food and no Beer...
Bears better make it worth it
April 25, 2009
#173 Kidron Music said . . .U of I product Davis going to the Fins. Hope he likes the weather down there because he certainly isn't gonna like trying to defend Moss and Owens in that division
April 25, 2009
#174 BDG said . . .I bet the Giants take Kenny Britt, and that's all for first round WR.
So that would be DHB, Crabtree, Maclin, Harvy, Britt in the first round.
I hope that one of the teams in the 2nd who need a WR believe Todd Mcshay's hype and they reach for Massaquio. That might leave us with Nicks or Robiskie...
April 25, 2009
#175 Max said . . .There are a lot of teams that could go WR in front of us in the second. I'm hoping Rashad is there
April 25, 2009
#176 Max said . . .I hope Boldin is there
April 25, 2009
#177 Max said . . .If not, I think its gonna come down to Massaquoi and Johnson... so of course Angeo will take Sidbury
April 25, 2009
#178 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Whoa. Pats trade with the Packers...
April 25, 2009
#179 Max said . . .packers traded up for clay mathews.....fucking cheeseheads
April 25, 2009
#180 Kidron Music said . . .Take Clay Matthews.... wow, that looks to be a strong LB core
April 25, 2009
#181 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Shit... the Peckers took Clay Mathews, I really like him.
April 25, 2009
#182 Max said . . .i think maualuga and cushing made mathews look good...He is a decent linebacker but nothing great
April 25, 2009
#183 Max said . . .Matthews, Barnett, and Hawk. Not happy that we will be seeing that trio for the next 5-10
April 25, 2009
#184 Max said . . .Man, you know Donald Brown is pumped. Going to play with Manning in Indy
April 25, 2009
#185 JerseyBearsFan said . . .What did the Pack give up for Matthews? Anyone know?
April 25, 2009
#186 Kidron Music said . . .Its Odd Indy picking a RB that high up having a young Addai.......youd think theyd go after a second/changeup back in a later round....interesting
April 25, 2009
#187 Phil from SATX said . . .Actually, I think we might be screwed for WR's.
The teams that have taken them so far, haven't been the teams that really need a WR (except Oakland)
San Fran, Minny, and Philly weren't the teams with high needs for WR.
We still have several teams with needs at WR, Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, Inianapolis Colts, Jacksonville, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants, New York Jets, St Louis Rams, Tampa bay Bucs, Tennessee Titans...
Six of those teams pick before we do. Others might trade above us to grab a value WR.
April 25, 2009
#188 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .I can't believe I almost spaced out that the draft was on!
Biggest bonehead move so far - that Crabtree wasn't the first wr taken - reminds me of one of Jeff's best lines - about Al Davis and the blanket -
Listen - if there is absolutely any chance of being able to get Boldin with our second and a player - THAT SHIT'S GOTTA happen!!!! There's not one player that the Bears can draft with this year's picks that could come close to the impact Boldin would have.
MAKE IT HAPPEN JERRY!!!! WE'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!! WE'RE TALKING LIFETIME EMPLOYMENT HERE!!!!!
GO BEARS!!!!!
April 25, 2009
#189 Murph said . . .fuck the PACK!
April 25, 2009
#190 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .There goes Nicks to the Giants
April 25, 2009
#191 Max said . . .bye Hakeem Nicks
April 25, 2009
#192 Kidron Music said . . .Whatever, I didnt expect him to be there
April 25, 2009
#193 Max said . . .Damn. Nicks was probably my favorite player in this draft.
Oh well, at least the Vikings didn't take him.
April 25, 2009
#194 animal said . . .Shit this is good. Eagles and Giants are out of the Boldin sweepstakes
COME ON JERRY, make me a believer
April 25, 2009
#195 Murph said . . .!@#$!%$
oh well, wishful thinking...April 25, 2009
#196 Anonymous said . . .Im feelin Boldin !!!
April 25, 2009
#197 Kidron Music said . . .Mathews, Bennet, and Hawk. When is the last time a team with 2 1/2 white linebackers won anything?
April 25, 2009
#198 BDG said . . .Beanie Wells traded for Bolding????
April 25, 2009
#199 Kidron Music said . . .I was a huge Nicks fan too, didn't expect him to make it to us though. Packers are having way too solid of a draft. There will be a lot of teams taking WR's before us still. I don't think we will have good options there.
April 25, 2009
#200 animal said . . .oops, I mean Boldin
Titans don't need a back, they need a WR, Cardinals have a WR and need a back....
April 25, 2009
#201 Max said . . .what if Rey Maualuga slips down and is available to Da Bears???
April 25, 2009
#202 Kidron Music said . . .no way do you split Johnson and White. To dynamic of a 1-2 punch
April 25, 2009
#203 Max said . . .Just Kidding.
April 25, 2009
#204 Murph said . . .there goes Britt
April 25, 2009
#205 animal said . . .There goes another "big" receiver
April 25, 2009
#206 animal said . . .a run on WRs now happening...
April 25, 2009
#207 BDG said . . .Almost into the second... thankfully
April 25, 2009
#208 Max said . . .time to start praying for no run at Safety
April 25, 2009
#209 animal said . . .this shit goes down to 5 minutes in the second round right?
April 25, 2009
#210 Kidron Music said . . .az goes beanie wells here fo sho
April 25, 2009
#211 zmac said . . .Bears are interested in Boldin...
April 25, 2009
#212 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .animal... if Malaluga is there i think you have to take him. Put him inside and move Urlacher to the outside. You are talking about the scariest LB core in the NFL.
April 25, 2009
#213 animal said . . .yea arizona goes Beanie for sure.... they will release james this monday
April 25, 2009
#214 Max said . . .Hey, the Bears just made their first round pick.
With the first pick the Chicago Bears select...
Jay Cutler, QB, Vanderbilt/Shannahan U."wow, this is a great pick for the Bears... a franchise QB for a franchise starved for QBs...
Ya, Mike, and the great thing is, he will be throwing to his favorite college target Earl Bennett. Bennett should develop into a great possession reciever for Chicago now..."April 25, 2009
#215 animal said . . .there goes Beanie to Zona. Good fit for both
April 25, 2009
#216 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .zmac wouldn't that be awesome? Re-stock the D with Urlacher's future replacement? Or move 54 to Outside LB right now...
April 25, 2009
#217 animal said . . .Boldin? I dont know......why not! Angelo says money is an issue but when it came to Cutler money was no issue
April 25, 2009
#218 Max said . . .well, there it is. First round, done. We are that much closer to seeing who the next Chicago Bear will be.
April 25, 2009
#219 zmac said . . .Just cause we trade for him doesnt mean we have to sign him long term right this second
April 25, 2009
#220 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .animal, you move 54 now. Maualuga is an inside guy. Thats where he flourishes. Pitt didnt take him to line up next to his fellow USC alumn. I couldnt think of a better LB core than Briggs/Maualuga/Urlacher. Rey is a stud and a play maker, I dont think he makes it to us. I think we have to go Saftey.
April 25, 2009
#221 Max said . . .Lions will take Maualuga right now
April 25, 2009
#222 Kidron Music said . . .Delmas is gone
April 25, 2009
#223 animal said . . .damn. I liked Delmas, I hoped he would fall.
April 25, 2009
#224 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Fresno they SHOULD. But this IS the Lions... TE with the 20th?
April 25, 2009
#225 Murph said . . .NEVERMIND!.....I cant believe Maualuga is still available
April 25, 2009
#226 animal said . . .Safeties starting now? Delmas off the board
April 25, 2009
#227 BDG said . . .There you go. They keep taking guys they could get a round later.
April 25, 2009
#228 Max said . . .Damn there goes the first S. That sucks. He went too early for my liking. Please hold on Rashad
April 25, 2009
#229 Kidron Music said . . .Here goes the string of safeties being taken...Chung is out
April 25, 2009
#230 zmac said . . .Wow, I didn't expect Chung to go there, I thought he would be around for at least ten more picks...
April 25, 2009
#231 Kidron Music said . . .little run of safeties here. I like Moore or Johnson, hopefully one of them is available.
With Maualuga, he must be dropping because of health because Matthews and Cushing are gone, and while Rey is raw he is an explosive play make and better than both of them IMO
April 25, 2009
#232 BDG said . . .This pick is probably Maluega or Robiskie to St. Louis.
April 25, 2009
#233 Max said . . .OMG there we go. Doubt Johnson lasts now
April 25, 2009
#234 Kidron Music said . . .Boldin is still available
April 25, 2009
#235 Max said . . .He said St. louis Cardinals... hahaha.... That guy feels stupid right now.
April 25, 2009
#236 zmac said . . .Still no Rey? Stupid Rams
April 25, 2009
#237 Kidron Music said . . .Laurenitas over Maualuga??? Wow
April 25, 2009
#238 Max said . . .Ahh shit. Robiskie gone.
April 25, 2009
#239 Murph said . . .Robiskie... GONE
April 25, 2009
#240 Max said . . .About another hour or so fellow fans
April 25, 2009
#241 zmac said . . .So Jeff only has Iglesias left outa his 4
April 25, 2009
#242 BDG said . . .I wouldnt mind Maiva either, but I dont see JA drafting a LB even though we have had a gaping hole opposite Briggs for years.
April 25, 2009
#243 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Second round is killing me here. Run at S and only decent WR's left. If Johnson is gone I could see a surprise DE for us like Jarron Gilbert
April 25, 2009
#244 Kidron Music said . . .DRUNK!
April 25, 2009
#245 zmac said . . .Is this Denver trading up to take Maluega?
April 25, 2009
#246 Murph said . . .I'd much rather have Rashad than Iglesias
April 25, 2009
#247 Max said . . .Stallworth will be in jail, Browns had to grab someone to catch the ball.
April 25, 2009
#248 Max said . . .Word zmac... word
April 25, 2009
#249 Max said . . .You gonna make it to #49 Fresno?
April 25, 2009
#250 Kidron Music said . . .If I wait all this time and we end up drafting some random DT or outa the blue corner, I am going to be HEATED
April 25, 2009
#251 Max said . . .The Bronco's are a trainwreck! They gave up a 1st round next year for the 37th pick in what's considered a weak draft?
April 25, 2009
#252 Max said . . .I need a TV, I am missing out on all the trades... all the sudden the team just changes and I hear nothing back online. Shit
April 25, 2009
#253 Murph said . . .11 more picks... come on
April 25, 2009
#254 BDG said . . .They gave that up for a 5'8 corner.
April 25, 2009
#255 Murph said . . .Anyone know a link to find out how some of these trades are happening. What's being given up?
Did they really give up a 1 next year?April 25, 2009
#256 Kidron Music said . . .Yep.........next years 1 for that number 2 pick
April 25, 2009
#257 zmac said . . .Maualuga gone to the bengals...
April 25, 2009
#258 zmac said . . .Rey goes to Cincy. He gets to play along side his old buddy Keith Rivers.
April 25, 2009
#259 Murph said . . .So what you are saying is we could had given up our #1 and #2 this year for Cutler instead of our #1 next year? The Broncos make no sense.
April 26, 2009
#260 BDG said . . .Are the Jags gonna grab Iglesias
April 26, 2009
#261 Max said . . .Wow wtf is denver doing. Plus they sign a shit load of RB's to add to a shit load on the roster then draft a RB, when their D sucks.
April 26, 2009
#262 Pankster said . . .Im off work. Gotta find a computer. See you guys later. Keep fingers cross
April 26, 2009
#263 Murph said . . .Who is impact that is left???
April 26, 2009
#264 zmac said . . .Jags took Eben Britton
April 26, 2009
#265 Murph said . . .I think either of the Safeties, Moore or Johnson, are impact players... thats about it IMO. There are some safe LB picks, but they could wait, and I would wait on a receiver and snatch Barden or Turner later in the draft.
April 26, 2009
#266 Kidron Music said . . .I dont know if Iglesias will get past the 'fins
April 26, 2009
#267 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Rashard Johnson still available, but...Oakland, New England, Houston all need safety help and pick in front of us.
April 26, 2009
#268 Murph said . . .Im gonna try but dam this coors lights is so dam cold
April 26, 2009

April 26, 2009
#273 Murph said . . .Does anybody think Everette Brown will fall to us?
April 26, 2009
#274 BDG said . . .Hey Fresno......are those Billicks from Ditka???
April 26, 2009
#275 Kidron Music said . . .Brown's on the phone
April 26, 2009
#276 BDG said . . .Shit Everette Brown is on the phone.
April 26, 2009
#277 Murph said . . .Gilbert, or Johnson or Johnson. Possibly Iglesias
April 26, 2009

I see some good players but I'd rather have JC. Orton was good and with one of these wr's he would have been better, but not that much better. I'll take JC. He totally changes our team. We are dangerous on O now. Next year when we lose our #1 and #3, they will be low picks because we are going deep in the playoffs with JC. I'm, dare I say it, a HAPPY Bears fan.

April 26, 2009
#323 MikeBrownhadaPosse said . . .Maybe he'll trade down a couple more times for less and less value that way he can blame not getting any good players on the fact that all 10 of his picks were 6th and 7th rounders. What a douchebag.
April 26, 2009
#324 Max said . . .Well, I'm going to backtrack - looking at the board, there's definitely a shot that if they're seriously considering Johnson, that he'll still be there at 68....although Moore coming off the board just now doesn't help that scenario.There's other highly rated safeties still sitting around so just hoping he gets passed over for a few more picks.

#327 Max said . . .So let me get this straight:
"Unfortunately, the players we targeted at 49 did not fall to us " Jerry Angelo
So I guess William Moore and Mohammed Massoquoi must have been figments of the media's imagination.
Funny how both guys along with Loadholt were both picked in the next 6 picks.
I call bullshit.

You better pull some day 2 magic Jerry.
April 26, 2009
#330 Peoria Matt said . . .I'm a little surprised at the shortfall in the chart value - I did think that draft value chart was used by everybody. Maybe there are so many guys that the Bears value right now that having the extra picks was what was important, nowtgetting full value according to the chart. And when you think about it, it makes sense - the Bears still have many needs on D (where I think most of this draft will be going) - plus WR plus some more depth on Oline.
That said, there's absolutely no reason to kill Jerry for this except f0r the buzz kill he threw at us for waiting all day for nothing. And CA, I'm guessing that's no buzz kill for you, too late for that, right? Have another one on me! Cheers!
Tomorrow's the big day - no, it looks like no Boldin to be had, on the other hand no one else is pulling the trigger either, so maybe???? Big player trade coupled with some 3rd rounders which are no slouches? We can still hope, Bear fans!!
Jeff is the one who said that this draft is a non-event for us - we already had our draft - sounds like JA was listening AGAIN!
So today was a non-event, tomorrow not so - lots of picks to come. Can't wait!
April 26, 2009
#331 Max said . . .Max, I'm with you.
I think Angelo must be trying to convince himself that there weren't any players of need available at that pick to negate his love of stockpiling later picks.
And "O line wins games"....I was thinking the same thing....and also how Cleveland just drafted 2 pretty nice WR's.
April 26, 2009
#332 Anonymous said . . .No hyped optimism for me phil... I cant take it. It was a weak move. Players were there we need, and he wimped out
April 26, 2009
#333 BDG said . . ."Unfortunately, the players we targeted at 49 did not fall to us " Jerry Angelo
Has to be Robiskie and maybe Chung or one of the other safeties that went immediately before they picked.
For whatever reason, SI grades Johnson out waaaaay lower than the other draft boards that I'd read.
I can't imagine Iglesias will still be there, but that wouldn't suck either.
April 26, 2009
#334 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .I don't care what anyone says. This is a huge event for the future of this club. There are some very good players left. Sure we didn't pick in the first 2 rounds so what. Now we get players that want to prove they should have been in the first 2 rounds. Everyone that says JA can't draft should be elated which seems to be about 75% of the people on here. It just gives him more picks in case he does screw up someone. Think of how many solid picks have come out of the middle rounds. A shit ton have. Plus a few of the guys everyone wanted with our pick is still there. Be patient. It's all going to work out. The Bears are improving drastically from last year and that's all we can ask our GM to do.
April 26, 2009
#335 Urlacher FTW said . . .He had william Moore right in front of him! what the fuck! massaquoi right there in front of him! what the fuck!

April 26, 2009
#336 O-Line wins games said . . .Day 1 is for starters, day 2 is for special teams. Yah occasionally a TO or a Briggs will surprise you but for the most part no.
If the pick wasn't going to be for a starter then why not trade it for one in Boldin, I don't fn get this at all - he just took all the credibility he had for getting JC done and pissed it away.
April 26, 2009
#337 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .74 points is a lot of points if you look at the draft chart.
JA should have pulled an additional 6th rounder (#168 = 24.2 points) or at least an additional 7th rounder (#213 = 6.2 points!!)
WTF, Jerry!! Please explain to us why you couldn't get another 7th rounder in this trade?!

#338 MikeBrownhadaPosse said . . .BDG- sorry but shut the fuck up and get your head out of your ass! JA had a couple a good players with alot of potential right there in front of him!

#339 BDG said . . .Oops, #332 was me.
April 26, 2009
#340 BDG said . . .Michael Johnson, Rashad Johnson,Jarron Gilbert,Jamone Merideth, Duke Robinson,Lawerence Sidbury Jr., Juaquin Iglesies,Ramses Barden,Derrick Williams- All of these guys are very solid and would help our team alot now or in the future, and it's impossible for all (9) of them to be gone in the (3) picks before we are up again. If JA had a close grade on a bunch of these type players it would have been irresponsible of him to do anything but trade down. This could be the difference of us getting one of these guys and being able to take a chance on a Patrick Turner or Louis Murphy type player later or taking one of these guys and not having an extra pick later. There was NOBODY that was a no-brainer to take when we were up so it might actually have been the best decision.

#341 Nitty Gritty said . . .Fresno you dumb fuck is Rashad Johnson not sitting right there still? Maybe just maybe with all their money they invest in scouting they have a better idea than your close minded ass does. So fuck off. There's no way that you can say William Moore was a sure thing either. Massaquoi is talented but had holes too, and dumb asses like you would be ripping JA apart for drafting someone that needed time to develop and calling it a bust if he didn't have 1000 yards and 10 tds this year. Don't be so FUCKING pessimistic.

#372 O-Line wins games said . . ."With the 4,962nd pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Someone Iveneverheardof."
JA, moments following his only selection in the '09 draft, steps up to the microphone and says, "Sprinkles. This kid has got some sprinkles. I mean, deep down, I think we may have reached a little bit for Iveneverheardof, but you can't argue the fact that he's got sprinkles."
An unnamed reporter asks, "did he play college here in the states, Jerry?"
"No. Our scouts found him schuking salmon somewhere in the vicinity of Siberia. Good hands. Good sprinkle. Listen, we were in this to win it. Someone will be a great ball player, and a guy we covented with this pick. The 4,962nd. He was a real steal here. That we may have reached a bit, but ahh, how far would you be willing to reach for a sprinkle? Yeah know."
Another reporter eagerly steps in and asks, "Jerry, Mel Kipper said that he's never heard of Iveneverheardof," and the media room starts cracking up.
"Well, to be honest, he's a stealth pick, and he's got great hip movement and you know if you can catch a live salmon he can handle Cutler's heater."
Larry Mayer asked, "Is he happy to be a Bear?"
"Well to inform him that he's been drafted would mean that we would have to call him, and unfortunately Someone Iveneverheardof is a really hard guy to get a hold of."

#375 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Christ. It's getting all Craigslist-y in here. Fresno, you are a douche, or else you're 13. You're probably 13. Where is Jeff when you need him? I'm not a fan of JA's strategy at this point, and went back and looked at all of his drafts, vs. the teams w/outstanding talent evaluation (Colts, Pats). He's really terrible at drafting. He's made some moves that turned out well in the end, but really, I think the Buzuin pick last year pretty much sums it up. #62 overall and he's now on the practice squad in Houston. No analyst had him going anywhere near that high.
It's all strange to me, until I realized that he was in Tampa Bay for 14 years prior. It's all beginning to make sense to me now.
But you know what, it's going to be great to watch the Bears run an offense w/a bonafide starting QB. I look forward to seeing if Forte can put together another stellar season, if the defense can rebound, and maybe even a Hester punt return or two. A couple of blocked punts, some close games, Bears F-ing Football. That's what it's all about. Barbecue, beers, and the Bears. And Wednesday night Euchre.

#376 KidronMusic said . . .bearstransplant- im 21.........but anyways yea well the simple answer is that JA sucks at drafts..he has had some good picks but he mainly has an 80-90% unsuccessful draft rate.....I see what he is doing...but mainly the question is why? what benefit will we get? idk
April 26, 2009
#377 Max said . . .I watched the draft all day....
I waited by the tv and had the laptop in my face all day... I flipped back and forth between the NFLN and ESPN....
And then the Bears traded away their pick.
Tomorrow, I'll be at the Bulls game, so Ill miss most of the draft.
The Bears trading down seriously dampened my fun today. But at the same time, Rashad Johnson, who most people seemed to think the Bears would take at #49 is still available. So, with the 4th pick tomorrow, we can still take him, pay him a little less than we would have, and still add a pick.
I think it was the right thing to do. Massaq0ui has the dropsies, let him play next to Braylon Edwards next year and they can lead the league in dropped passes together.
Even if they don't take Rashad Johnson (I hope they do) there is still plenty of talent available. Somebody posted a pretty good list above... there is some good picks available for sure.
I'm hoping for Rashad Johnson and then Louis Murphy with the next pick!
PS, Fresno, are you drunk? Or are you always an asshole? We all watched the draft all day just like you, but, jesus, it's not the end of the world to not have a first day pick. Lighten up a little. Don't hate BDG for not being such a whiny bitch like you were when JA traded away the pick. We are still going to win the NFC North.
April 26, 2009
#378 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Ok, ok, ok. I have calmed down. I have stepped back and looked at what we has transpired and tried to be completely unbiased. . .
STUPID... STUPID STUPID STUPID! We need help at receiver. Massaquoi (who Angelo liked) was there. We need help at safety. Johnson was available. Max Unger, a competent understudy to Olin Kruetz, was there. I do not understand.
Angelo did not do this because he thought he could get a better deal... I am not even going to discuss the whole points breakdown per draft pick cause I think its a dumb way to look at things, but come on people... He did it because he is afraid. He made one ballsy move (JC) and then decided not to keep going with that boldness. He decided to run back to the castle and hide in the f'ing tower.
We needed a receiver, we needed a safety, we needed D-line help. Who have we gotten so far? Oh, thats right, NO ONE
This leaves us with one (count them: 1) pick in the first two rounds in the 2009 and 2010 drafts commbined... 1 FUCKIN PICK! And hell, we still have 5 rounds to go this year, a whole season, and another round next year to trade that one pick away. Plenty of time for our "Brain Trust"
I am livid. But hey, to be a fair sport, I will still try and predict the rest of the draft, I mean shit we have 9 picks to waste in the later rounds anyway:
68: Lawrence Sidbury - DE - Richmond
99: T.J. Lang - OG - Eastern Michigan
105: Trade this and next years 2nd round pick for a third and a fourth in the 2010 draft
119: David Bruton - S - Notre Dame
140: Patrick Turner - WR - USC
154: Tony Fiammetta - FB - Syracuse
190: Nate Davis - QB - Ball State
246: Chris Baker - DT - Hampton
251: Bear Pascoe - TE - Fresno St. (BECAUSE HIS NAME IS BEAR GOD DAMN IT)Ill see yall in the morning. Hopefully I will be in a better mood.

#380 ThePackISBack! said . . .Some blog threads just demand to be terminated, that's where this one went. BDG, it ain't you, believe me. No worries.
Max, I think you're a little nuts right now, and I can't believe the level of vitriol aimed at Jerry for trading down - even if more than half was from the drunken West Coast. I believe someone even said that by trading down, he undid every kudos he deserved when he traded for Cutler. Puleeze!!
ESPECIALLY if Rashad Johnson, who many have mentioned here as the one they coveted with the 2nd rounder, is there when they pick in the 3rd??? Then he can only be called a freaking genius - he got what he wanted and another 4th rounder besides.
Remember that you have to have teams on the other side who want to trade down with you and have ammo they're willing to give you - it ain't that easy. It was the Seahhawks who wanted Unger (I did too, sorry Rancid, but you still win points with the pick!) - and if they were unwilling to give up any more than that 4th rounder for it, Jerry still to decide whether to stand pat, maybe take the same guy he knew would be there later - or pull the trigger even if the value chart didn't quite justify it. He saved the Bears some bucks in the process, and while you roll your eyes and say "of course he did, that's for the cheap McCaskeys, what else is new", remember that that's an integral part of his job, allocating resources wisely. He already spent plenty of money this offseason, making plenty of moves, giving us a brand new offensive line and JAY CUTLER - if he can get the same guy he wanted plus another and save a few mil that can be spent elsewhere, then IT WAS THE RIGHT MOVE.
Someone mentioned that Day 2 was for special teams - MAYBE true two years ago, but not since they moved the 3rd round picks to Sunday - those two 3rd rounders are still high level picks.
Bearstransplant, great post! Love the "all Craigslist-y" line!
Hey, Day 2's here already! (sort of) I only hope Jerry doesn't get nervous and decide he needs to move up 4 picks just to ensure his safety's there. A lot of time to think (overthink) between last night and today.

#382 BDG said . . .BEAR HUNTING SEASON BEGINS NOW
April 26, 2009
#383 CalvinJames said . . .First off I would like to apologize to all the readers on this for my part in the Fresno, CA BEARS FAN debate. I should have never engaged with him in the back and forth. I know none of you need to waste your time reading such crap from us. I just kinda lost it when I felt he went over board, when I should have just let it go.
Second KentuckyBearsFan that was a very good prediction.
This is were I stand with the BEARS
Of course we were all disappointed that we didn't make a pick after waiting all day, but these are some of the sacrifices we have to make to acquire a front line starting QB. It's very feasible that this exact same thing could happen again next year. If we don't get some depth in this draft a stud QB will do nothing for us for the next 3 years. Even if we don't get any starters for this year, these players are vital to managing a salary cap and promoting competition. I wanted Rashad Johnson terribly, so I was as disappointed as any that he wasn't our pick when he was right their available, but we only get part of the info. on these prospects. We don't have the knowledge that the BT does about were and when certain players will come off the board and how much certain players would fit our system. It has been my belief that JA has done a better job with his picks after the 2nd round than he has before it. I would think it would benefit us if we ended up getting a Rashad Johnson, Michael Johnson or Juaquin Iglesies in the 3rd and have the opportunity to take a chance on a player that they normally couldn't with the extra pick like a Louis Murphy, Tony Fiametta, or Patrick Turner. We have to always have an eye towards the future of this club. We sacrificed a lot of the future to get Cutler, so we have to be methodical in building our team around him. There will be a second wave of FA's after the rookie's sign their contracts and with an abnormally high amount of WR's going early in the draft that should mean more WR's being cut. I know this, I like our team better right now than I did last year. I'm not going to get crazy and think they will make us elite in (1) off season. They already made us very damn good and the off season continues. Personally I would like to see us sustain for years in the mold of Pittsburgh or N.E. It takes time to get to that level.
So today I HOPE they get Rashad Johnson with our 1st pick and come back and grab Ramses Barden with our 2nd pick in the 3rd round. I'm actually excited because we have a bunch of picks to see today. Let's go BT hit us a couple home runs for the future.
April 26, 2009
#384 Joseph said . . .Does anyone think any of the WR's still left are better than Earl Bennett? He didn't catch one pass last year, but he had a great career in college. Is there a WR left that is worth taking? Someone who can make an impact this year?
April 26, 2009
#385 WTF were they thinking said . . .At least Angelo TRIED to get Boldin...give him some credit for that, the deal just fell through.

#386 MaddBearFan said . . .Fresno, CA BEAR FAN-I used your name. I was half in the bag and saw you were being a jerk, so I acted like one also. BDG didn't do it. Admittedly it was childish of me. People that throw crude insults at people because they don't like their ideas or what they said just gets to me.
April 26, 2009
#387 BearDown1982 said . . .Well Everybody, this has been the first draft I have ever I have ever followed, interesting! I keep getting this picture in my mind of JA and the boy's having a few coctails after they finished last nite and rolling around on the floor laughing after reading some of these posts.
Anyway, as JA said in the short news conference that the Cards just didn't seem motivated enough to accept his offer. So he at least showed some interest.
Personally, I kinda like this Patrick Turner kid. It seems we had a bit of a problem last year with pass plays in the redzone, and although not real fast, he seems to have great hands and height for over the head catches. Kinda reminds me of Larry Fitzgerald. Just a thought.
Well, I'll be watching and reading. Had some great posts yesterday.Keep it up!April 26, 2009
#388 Peoria Matt said . . .As a Mizzou grad, I'm guessing JA didn't pick William Moore because of his injury issues. He was an absolute stud his junior year and would have been worth a pick in the late first round...but his senior year was very mediocore due to some nagging injuries.
I'm interested to see what the Bears do today. We have to hope that at least a couple of these guys can contribute right away...especially someone at safety.
April 26, 2009
#389 Peoria Matt said . . ."Personally I would like to see us sustain for years in the mold of Pittsburgh or N.E. It takes time to get to that level."
BDG, I appreciate your Bears love....but did you read that before you posted it? You think with Lovie and Jerry that somehow a genius switch will be flipped and we will be comparable to N.E. and Pittsburgh?
And I hate to bring this up....but this is Jerry's 8th year with the Bears. What exactly is the timetable for reaching this verrrry ambitious goal? The key to these teams is coaching and player scouting and development. The Bears are light years away in those departments.

#391 BDG said . . .here we go. Johnson or Johnson!
April 26, 2009
#392 BDG said . . .Yeah I did read it. I know it hasn't developed to that point yet but we are far more consistent in the last few years than before JA arrived. With the addition of Jay Cutler we now have the power to lure top end FA WR's. This is something we couldn't do in years past. I agree JA has a long ways to go in his drafts, but he has made us much more consistent with out and elite QB which is something the the top teams all have.
Here we go pick is upApril 26, 2009
#393 Peoria Matt said . . .Hell yeah, I'll take that. Kid is got a lot of talent. There are enough S's and WR's to come back and get one later. Would have loved to get Rashad Johnson but I'll take Gilbert

#397 BDG said . . .BDG, the Bears have gone from the Super Bowl to 7-9 to 9-7....that doesn't really scream consistency. And don't forget.....at some point to be successful you have to hit on first round picks....especially high 1st rounders....if you don't that's what sets you back. Jerry hasn't been very adept at that.
April 26, 2009
#398 Sarcastiholic said . . .Definitely would have liked to get Rashad Johnson but there has to be a reason JA didn't go that route. I don't know what it is they don't like about him but it must be something because they supposedly looked into him a bunch. Maybe they have their eye on some other S that they feel they can get late, like they did with Chris Harris and Kevin Payne. They have always looked at rounds 4-7 for S's so who knows.
April 26, 2009
#399 Peoria Matt said . . .The pool vid link posted was pretty interesting.

#404 reverend dave said . . .Analysis
Positives: Rare athleticism for a player of his size. Versatile defender with experience at tackle and end. Good size potential. Naturally large man with room for plenty of additional muscle mass. Good initial quickness off the snap. Flashes the functional upper-body strength to disengage from blockers. Surprising balance for his height. Can break down in space and make the secure tackle.Negatives: Struggles with leverage inside, and might lack the burst off the snap and flexibility to flank the tackle and close effectively as a defensive end. Too often allows blockers to get into his chest. Inconsistent getting his hands up in the passing lanes. Questionable level of competition. Better raw athlete than football player.
Compares To: TY WARREN, New England -- Gilbert is more of a 3-4 defensive end rather than an edge rusher in a 4-3 alignment. He seems comfortable shooting the gaps to get to the quarterback rather than trying to loop around the edge. If taken by a team operating from primarily a 4-3 base defense, he will be better off playing inside. He has a lot of potential and a rare-sized frame with an excellent wing span, but it took him more than three seasons to start to produce consistently. It could have been due to him settling in at defensive tackle in 2008.
So Jeff was right, we basically drafted a DT. Yay. Welcome our 8th DT to the roster.April 26, 2009
#405 Peoria Matt said . . .seriously? with huge gaping holes at free safety and wr and we get yet another dt? unless we are gonna reinvent the game of football by unveiling the base 5-3 i cant see how this wasnt a lousy decision.
i didnt share the general euphoria over the Cutler deal so my opinion on JA didnt change much, i dont think hes shown me enough in the last couple years to be given the benefit of the doubt on a dubious move like this.April 26, 2009
#406 Sarcastiholic said . . .From Biggsy's blog:
"That means the Bears made the tackle position a priority with their first pick. Harris struggled last season and was suspended for one game for conduct detrimental to the team. The Bears maintain that his left knee has checked out fine, and they backed that up by committing to pay him a $6.65 million roster bonus in February.
But it's clear the team is backing itself up with other options at the position. It could be Marcus Harrison, the third-round pick from last season, is now being viewed as a nose tackle."
Which says to me that Jerry is once again drafting a player as insurance for another questionable 1st round pick.
Not the way to success in the league.
April 26, 2009
#407 BDG said . . .If this pick was just to serve as a nudge to Harris to start producing, seems like a pretty stiff price to pay. Know we have health issues on the line but best player available really didn't seem to apply here - I have to guess that they had a bunch of DB's rated higher than this guy.
April 26, 2009
#408 Who's Laughing Now said . . .Again I don't think JA is god never had never will but look he's had 7 1st rounders since he's been here
Round Pick Overall
1. Chris Williams- jury is still out on him
2. Greg Olsen- great pick
3. Cedric Benson- nfl starter that's off field issues warranted removal
4. Tommie Harris- Pro Bowls
5. Michael Haynes-colossal flop
6. Rex Grossman-had the talent didn't have the head, but still managed to get us to the big game (with a lot of help from the D)
7. Mark Colombo-Solid starter at RT that injuries caused us to give up on too soon.
These aren't horrible picks. Some times the situation led to them leaving, which I know should be looked into, but some you would never have known. Look at Benson's draft class Most of the 1st round could be considered busts. I just think it's expecting too much to think every year it will work out.
Again I'm not in love with JA or Lovie I would die for Pollian and Cower but you have to remain positive that things are headed in the right direction which I think they are.
April 26, 2009
#409 Peoria Matt said . . .Things I'm upset about:
1. I thought money (for the contract extension) was going to keep the Bears from making a play for Boldin. Come to find out, they were willing to pony up the cash, but they offered just a 2nd round pick? You couldn't sweeten up the deal with a player? If you tried the 2nd rounder and Vasher (or the 2nd rounder and Urlacher for all I care because I think Urlacher is done), and the Cards refused, fine. But to be willing apparently to pay 9-10 million for Boldin but not make an earnest effort, I have this sinking feeling like we let our best, last chance for a game-changer WR slip out of our hands. (Well, maybe not the last chance, there's still Plaxico.)
2. Defensive end? Are you serious? I guess the Bears themselves in the end don't even believe that Marinelli is the fix to the d-line all by himself. Looks like they do feel like they need more talent there. But are you telling me that you're content with Bullocks at S???? I kept telling myself that Bullocks was not part of the big plan, that he probably wouldn't even make the roster after the Bears brought in new talent through the draft. But now? JA plays the draft like he has the luxury of not having to reach to fill positions of need. I'd rather see him reach for need than be OK with Bullocks anywhere near our roster.
Maybe he gets a gem at safety in the late rounds. Maybe he signs Lucas and moves Tillman to safety. But right now we have two positions that are going to doom us to mediocrity and I can't understand how JA can let these opportunities go by.
JA said there's no guaruntee of finding someone special. Duh. that's why you get paid the big bucks. Do your job. Go find somebody special.April 26, 2009
#410 BDG said . . .BDG, look at that list and honestly evaluate which of those players has been an absolute stud for the Bears....which at some point you're going to have to draft with a first round pick.
Olsen? That would be the one in my book. And he hasn't reached that level yet.
Harris seems to be a slight head case with injury issues... Benson, head case. Rex, out of work. Colombo, injured. Williams, injured. Haynes, no comment necessary.
April 26, 2009
#411 CSauce said . . .Actually Gilbert was the highest rated available player on Kipers board to start the day. He was rated like 41 overall. For what it's worth what Kiper thinks
April 26, 2009
#412 BDG said . . .I don't want to be the one to jinx it, but this draft could still end up being a pretty good one. Pats just took Brandon Tate with the 83rd (pretty nice pick..), but two of my favorite players are still available:
Rashad Johnson - the next Mike Brown. Mark my words - this guy's good. He doesn't have the flashy speed, but like Brown, he has the instincts to get himself in the right place at the right time. A real football player - and a ballhawk to boot.
Ramses Barden - the next Brandon Marshall? His scouting report reads a lot like Marshall's did - tall, rangy, lacks great straight-line speed.. We have a quarterback, ladies and gents, who took Brandon Marshall to the next level. Could Barden be next?
April 26, 2009
#413 Peoria Matt said . . .Gibert doesn't fit what the BEARS do at DT size wise.. I have to believe they will look at him at DE. We have 3 DE's that are FA's after the season. Anderson, Idonije, and Ogunalaye. We had to get depth at that position at some point in the draft so why not here. To me worst case scenario he sounds like another Idonije to me with his versatility if he bulks up some. I'll take another Idonije with more upside in the 3rd round every year.
April 26, 2009
#414 Peoria Matt said . . .Nope.....not Barden, not Wallace.....

April 26, 2009

April 26, 2009
#446 Max said . . .I woke up at 4 am to listen to us take a DT. In the freaking third round, I don't care about best available, I care about needs.

#452 Max said . . .Come on, Bullocks is roster hamburger. Glenn Earl has a much better chance of making the team.
We'll have Bowman, Steltz, Payne, Earl, and Bullocks competing. And probably a rookie. I think I like Payne/Bowman combo the best. I think we need to get better too, but Bullocks is as good as gone.
April 26, 2009

#483 Max said . . .Max - I was thinking the same thing, JA's gonna take Sidbury if he's there at 119.
Let's see who we reach for next.
April 26, 2009
#484 Sarcastiholic said . . .HA, I was thinking more like Lovie is the junkie, Hot Rod was the peer pressure and Angelo was the dealer
April 26, 2009
#485 CalvinJames said . . .I think you nailed it Max. Maybe somebody at Halas Hall should call Dr. Drew and get an internvention going before the next pick.
April 26, 2009
#486 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Does Cleveland need DE help? Perhaps JA is trying to build a package of players to trade to the Browns for Braylon. Who I drafted in fantasy last year and was pretty good some weeks and invisible other weeks. Very frustrating.
April 26, 2009
#487 Max said . . .BDG- you still think JA was right about this draft? trading down to just get two DE?
we could of had Round 2-William Moore/Rashad Johnson/ or Massaquoi
Round 3- Juaquin Iglesias
Round 4-?this is why i got so pissed off yesterday Because JA is a fucking Idiot...I rather have Johnson or Moore over these two DE..
April 26, 2009
#488 Max said . . .Word Fresno
April 26, 2009
#489 O-Line wins games said . . .I mean, we took Henry Melton...
April 26, 2009
#490 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .Melton wasn't even invited to the combine!
And we take him #105 overall, what a fucking joke!
April 26, 2009
#491 johnny chicago said . . .Henry Melton doesnt even have a Highlight tape on youtube!.....I dont know guys...we just gotta live with another Angelo moment.....
April 26, 2009
#492 Max said . . .shouldn't we be looking to get a FS or another badass linebacker? Briggs and Urlacher are good but the other spot is a joke. Hillenmeyer? We needed another linebacker that inspires coaches to change the gameplan a bit. Losing Rashad Johnson to the runner up in the superbowl really hurts. we need to bring back brown to contend with earl and bullocks or we are going to have a really frustrating season because of our safeties. kevin payne is not an NFL caliber safety and when daniel manning is on the field for defense i pound whatever drink is in my hand because i know he is going to mess up somehow.
April 26, 2009
#493 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .I like Payne as a Strong safety Johnny, but jesus are you right when it comes to Manning. I love the guy as a returner, but he is nothing short of awful when it comes to the free safety spot
April 26, 2009
#494 Max said . . .O line wins games....ha thats even more funnier! god I dont know what these guys are fucking thinking!...this is just a reality check! we were hyped still cause we got Jay Cutler and we thought JA and Lovie finally changed but nope! this draft is a reality check folks....JA and Lovie are still FUCKING STUPID!
April 26, 2009
#495 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .There goes Bruton
April 26, 2009
#496 Peoria Matt said . . .Johnny I think we all do that when Manning is playing at Safety....haha remember the super bowl against the Colts....He was lost! hahaha
April 26, 2009
#497 Max said . . .Jerry picks like a guy with a contract extension with no chance of being fired....oh never mind....
April 26, 2009
#498 BDG said . . .Clemons is stilll there... So is Cook. So help me god if we do not take a safety soon, Angelo will have to start worrying about his personal safety
April 26, 2009
#499 FRESNOizRUDE! said . . .Certainly going to make it interesting to see who gets cut now with 2 Dl additions. Might be they are already cutting the cord on Dusty.
Have to keep
Ogunleye, Adewale/Idonije, Israel/Harrison,Marcus/Harris,Tommie/Brown,Alex/Anderson, Mark
Possible cuts
Dvoracek, Dusty/Adams, Anthony
Cut or staying on practice squad
Clermond, Joe/Toeaina, Matt/Baldwin, Ervin
I would keep Adams over Dusty at this point. Adams played great when they gave him a chance last year.
It makes for some tough decisions drafting (2) DL men this early.April 26, 2009
#500 O-Line wins games said . . ."steroids are as american as apple pie"
anybody seen that commercialApril 26, 2009
#501 Max said . . .Cook is a SS.
April 26, 2009
#502 Anonymous said . . .Shit, I would just be happy with Angelo not selecting a defensive lineman
April 26, 2009
#503 Max said . . .Dammit, DE Kyle Moore off the board just two picks ahead of JA...
April 26, 2009
#504 Max said . . .Clermond and Melton will be cut
April 26, 2009
#505 O-Line wins games said . . .Come on Sidbury
April 26, 2009

April 26, 2009
#510 FRESNOizRUDE! said . . .Well at least it wasnt a lineman
April 26, 2009
#511 Max said . . .DJ Moore....Bowman or Vasher are gonna be moved to Safety and DJ Moore will be 2nd String behind Bowman or Vasher....it all makes sense now
April 26, 2009
#512 Max said . . .Nother Vanderbuilt player
April 26, 2009
#513 FRESNOizRUDE! said . . .It doesn't make sense

#514 CalvinJames said . . .hahaha
April 26, 2009
#515 FRESNOizRUDE! said . . .Max- yeah, he from Vandy, too bad he's not another DE, that would have totally made JA's day.
April 26, 2009
#516 O-Line wins games said . . .JA will move Vasher or Bowman to FS and this guy DJ moore will backup whoever is our starting CB........
April 26, 2009
#517 Max said . . .5'9 CB who played some WR in college... quick convert him to WR!!
April 26, 2009
#518 FRESNOizRUDE! said . . .Oh Christ...
April 26, 2009
#519 BDG said . . .thats what I would do......cause look Bowman is a good starter at CB and Vasher has to much speed and talent to not play...so you know they have to play Vasher and Bowman...it would be stupid if they Bench either one...
April 26, 2009
#520 Max said . . .Fresno,
I still liked our 1st 2 picks a lot. The Melton pick sucked. I'm not sure why they passed on Johnson twice. Maybe they plan to move this D.J. Moore to S. He's supposed to be a great athlete and football player. I'm just going to see how the whole thing plays out before I figure out how I really feel about this draft.April 26, 2009
#521 O-Line wins games said . . .That whole drafting our needs thing is not working out...
God, Jeff is lucky that my predictions have been so far off base that there is no chance I will win the contest for the Wednesday article.
It would not be a positive one
April 26, 2009
#522 FRESNOizRUDE! said . . .I like Moore, but he is only 5'8 7/8. Too short in my opinion. He's not that fast either, but he is somewhat of a playmaker... so I guess we'll see.
April 26, 2009
#523 Max said . . .yea thats what I was thinking- either they move Vasher or Bowman to FS...cause they both have to much talent to sit on the bench...Kiper just said DJ MOORE should of gone in the second round....so not to shabby..
April 26, 2009
#524 Max said . . .Bummer, Sidbury didn't make it to the #140. To bad
April 26, 2009
#525 KentuckyBearsFan said . . .D.J. Moore. Playmaker, but also shorter than you like and apprently not as fast as needed.
So far Iglesias is the only pick I have semi agreed with
April 26, 2009
#526 Max said . . .http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/live_draft;_ylt=AnsFNOQOxeMF6UqJoHahdXvWb6x_?round=4
D.J. Moore.
Consensus:
He's short, but he compensates by being slow.Ah, not like we can tell anything before they get on the field anyway by the 4th round.
April 26, 2009
#527 Max said . . .Thats just funny
April 26, 2009
#528 Max said . . .Fiammetta off the board... my predictions are gettin worse
April 26, 2009
#529 Max said . . .Did anyone else make second round predictions?
Wait I guess someone guessed right didnt they? So there was no point in guessing except to prove how badly I was off.
Damn
April 26, 2009
#530 Max said . . .Clemons is still out there. Only needs to make it another nine picks or so
April 26, 2009
#531 Max said . . .I predicted Chris Davis - DE from Hampton in the 7th... They way its looking, that could totally work out
April 26, 2009

April 26, 2009
#536 FRESNOizRUDE! said . . .not sure why Duke Robinson, Jamone Merideth and Herman Johnson are all still there at this point. Would be happy with any of them
April 26, 2009
#537 BDG said . . .jamon meridith!
April 26, 2009
#538 FRESNOizRUDE! said . . .Don't really like anymore of the S prospects so I hope it's Duke or Merideth

#541 O-Line wins games said . . .Yes, another reach!! I was hoping for that!!
Way to go JA!!April 26, 2009
#542 CAK said . . .Another 6th or 7th rounder drafted early.
April 26, 2009
#543 O-Line wins games said . . .I will say, he looks like a true scholar.

April 26, 2009
#544 BDG said . . .I will say though... he is very, very fast.
April 26, 2009
#545 BDG said . . .Never heard of him before but man he looks the part and he can fly. Kiper seems to think he was a good pick. The guy looks great outside of pads so who knows.
April 26, 2009
#546 BearsTransplant said . . .He COULD be our next Berrian. Hopefully he can catch though.
April 26, 2009
#547 Max said . . .He really shows up in the TX vs. the Nation game in '08. No injury concerns, only drawback seems to be that he's kind of slight, and has a Hester-like tendency to run backwards or dance around sometimes instead of just trying to get an extra yard and go down.
Really freaking fast. I love the way he seems to look the ball into his hands every time. He's going to be at least a year or two in the making, but I like this pick. Cutler can throw it a mile, and now we have 2 WRs who can outrun almost any defense.
