LittleHurt05 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 The Bears front office continues to impress. They had agreed to send BAL a 4th round pick to move up 3 spots and even told Carimi they would pick him there. But no one on the Bears side told the NFL in time, so the trade never became official and that's why BAL "passed" on their pick. The Bears lucked out that Carimi was still there, but now the Ravens are pissed and still want some compensation for the trade they agreed on that never happened.

Balta1701 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 01:45 AM) Either way, the Bills were going to come out a winner. There are plenty of rush linebackers left - though obviously none as good as Miller - but not many QBs and you aren't going to get anything close to Dareus in round 2. I'm still hoping for Kaepernick and whoever the next best rush linebacker is in 2/3. I'm not going to believe the Bills come out a "Winner" in a draft until I see a guy they draft playing in his second pro bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears Baltimore still got the player they wanted, but leave it to the Bears to be unaware of draft rules. I'm surprised they showed up at the right building.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Very happy with what the Chiefs did. Although I think Baldwin could have been had a little later, and I was kind of leaning towards Torrey Smith, I'm fine with it. Gives Cassell another legit threat and teams will have to respect the passing game even more now so they can't load up the box with Charles. But the fact that they traded down, still got Baldwin, and the 6th pick in the 3rd round too? Awesome. In an ideal world, Rodney Hudson falls to them in round 2 and Justin Houston is somehow still there at the start of the 3rd. That happens and no matter what they do 4-7 it will be a home run draft for them IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the first rounder, the Bears did exactly what I wanted them to do. They got themselves a big boy to guard Jay's blind side. Keep it up.

southsider2k5 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/news/story?id=6448930 Moments after the Chicago Bears made him the 29th pick of the NFL draft on Thursday, offensive tackle Gabe Carimi got a sense of who was the happiest to have him on board. More From ESPNChicago.com Can't get enough Bears information? ESPNChicago.com has all the latest on the Monsters of the Midway. Blog "Jay Cutler sent me a nice text," Carimi said Friday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "He was actually one of the first people to send me a text. I think he was No. 3, so he must have really known I was going to get selected right there. "I reached back out and told him I was so pumped to be a Bear and to be able to give him the time he needs." Considering Cutler was sacked 57 times and missed a game after a concussion last season, it's no surprise he was so eager to welcome the tackle from Wisconsin. Carimi joked that Cutler said: "Concussions really suck Gabe, I don't want any more." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I think they probably found out last minute that KC wasn't going to take Carimi and that's why they didn't pull the trigger. Ravens got screwed and the Bears blamed it on miscommunication. I don't see how the Ravens are going to get s*** out of this...it sucks what happened and it's bad business, but verbally agreeing on something isn't ironclad. The Bears decided their 4th rd pick was more valuable than their word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 The Ravens, while acknowledging the trade was agreed upon, contended it was not made official because they didn't speak with league official Joel Bussert. "The deal was not consummated," general manager Ozzie Newsome said at Baltimore's headquarters. "A deal is not a deal until I talk to Joel Bussert, and I never talked to Joel Bussert."

If Newsome is adamant that no deal was consummated because he didn't t call Bussert, then hell no I don't give 'em that 4th rounder. Very interesting. But clearly, the Bears' front office once again proves how moronic they are. Luckily, it appears that they made the first pick in round one.
