2 Qb's in Top 1.

Chiefs are taking a QB, right?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 05:59 PM) I'm not as bothered with the pick as I am trading 3 draft picks to move up one spot for a guy that wasn't gonna be drafted there. If Pace likes Trubisky that much, then I hope he's right, but he won't be GM anymore by the time that happens. This I fully agree with.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 05:24 PM) Position doesn't matter when the talent isn't there. This is beyond a reach. He's not very good. No...he isn't ready to start. He has all kinds of tools. We will never be a good franchise if we always ignore QB. I'm always fine investing in QB and I presume they liked him (afterall they picked him). I've been saying we need a QB and we need to start investing in it.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 05:22 PM) Why can't we just be happy? I am. Only thing that will change this franchise for the better (significantly) is getting a QB. I'm always okay paying the price for that guy. At least there is hope. Odds are he fails, but there is at least a chance. This franchise is not changing into a perennial winner until you find QB. You don't find QB (largely speaking) not investing in them early. Look at the franchise for the last 30 years...we've barely selected any QB's early and we have seen what we received. If we gave up that for a non QB, I'd have flipped...but we can take our time with Trubisky to learn, etc. Tools are really good.

I presume the Browns were trying to jump to #2 for Trubisky. I'm perfectly fine going QB.

Okay...I live. We got a QB.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 05:21 PM) 3rd and 4th this year plus a 3rd next year. What a disaster already, lol. This pick better make the HOF Ridiculous. Unbelievable. San Fran gets its guy and loads up on picks. Uggh. Please surprise me and take a QB!

Pace is upsetting me. Next year's 3rd plus a 3rd and 4th this year to move up one freaking spot. We have a million needs.

I hope we didn't give up much (other then swapping some picks). Everyone thinks Thomas is the pick.

Seriously...Bears traded up?

One more pick to Bears are up. Who do Niners take? Adams / Fournette / QB / Thomas?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 04:02 PM) Last call, place your bets: Jamal Adams I don't think he will be there...I think Niners take him (or Solomon Thomas). If Adams is there, I think we take him over everyone (unless we go QB). I'm going with the #3 pick being Trubisky (either we pick him or we trade our pick to Browns).

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 01:34 PM) The one bad thing for the Bears is that next years draft supposedly has the superior QB talent, but unless youre the browns its hard to consistently get top 2 picks. They could also just wait till round 3-4 and grab a guy like Peterman. Peterman was impressive from what I saw on Gruden's QB camp. Seemed pretty sharp. But yes, I think the struggle is, next years draft class is great, doesn't do much good for us, unless we suck for another year (which is definitely possible depending on what Glennon does). And none of us know what the current crop does the next year. I think a year ago, looking at Watson and Kizer, there was possibility of two pretty darn good QB's. Watson didn't see his accuracy improve (despite a strong year) or his picks decline significantly and Kizer had his own issues.

The better we play as a team, the more leverage I would think we have in terms of trades (if Hahn is committed to that path).

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 01:09 PM) Both Kiper and McCshay have Browns taking Trubisky #1 in their final mock. The more I see all the mocks connecting Browns to Trubisky, the more that it makes sense the Browns play it safe and just draft him #1. It also means Jamal Adams is on the board for the Bears @ 3 (presuming San fran isn't passing on Garrett). If Tru goes #1, then only way I can see someone moving up to 3 is to jump Jacksonville for Fournette.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 10:58 AM) Intentional Talk is going to start airing on ESPN, allowing them to dissolve their baseball analysts to save money. I personally hope no one chooses to watch Intentional Talk on ESPN over MLB Network. Interesting concept, especially given that ESPN has more viewership and that helps MLB generate more revenue to spread their content, etc.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) Trubisky told Dan Patrick 2 weeks ago that the Bears worked him out. He told Biggs yesterday he didn't visit or workout. So strange. Really weird. You wonder if there is more to the story. You also had the reports (via Gabriel) that Bears aren't high on Trubisky. Is it some smoke screen to try and keep people (namely Browns) who want him from thinking Bears are competition (since if the Browns perceive us as competition and they are that high on him, they just take him @ #1). I still think that nothing will make me more excited than drafting a QB. They may suck...but at least I got a young player who could (hell if I know if they will) change the face of this franchise. None of the other positions can do that in this league, imo.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 08:54 AM) I don't like that Trubinsky only started 13 college games. I don't know how to evaluate QBs, but I like experience. I don't like the reports that the Bears have literally spent zero time with Trubisky. Just doesn't make sense to me. We don't have a franchise QB, we should maximize time with everyone. I recognize the whole "gamesmanship" that goes on with the draft, but darn it...we should leave no stone unturned when it comes to QB (especially a guy who easily could be the 1st QB drafted).

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 08:05 AM) I sticking with Adams or Lattimore. (Then a trade up into the latter part of the first round to grab one of the QBs.) The second part is wishful thinking. I'd love a stud CB, but Lattimore has the injury issues that concern me (and I don't know that he is "elite"). I'd go with Jamal Adams (but Niners might take him) or Thomas...if it isn't QB and I'm totally fine going QB. Would not be surprised if we danced with the Browns.

They are a poorly coached team. Also have limited skilled players too.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 26, 2017 -> 10:44 AM) They have clearly prioritized uninformed people yelling at each other over real sports journalism. I think part of it is, like many companies, they are cutting away some of the old guard (which is typically more expensive) and looking into alternative options / fresher names to develop new talent (which is less expensive) while still keeping key personalities that create eye balls. Part of this is the fact that sports highlights alone are consumed so much differently, so you need to diversify even more so with personality / flair. Stark / Ravech will probably end up at MLB (but likely get paycuts, etc).

Karl Ravech going to have a significantly reduced role. Storm and Russilo are in the same boat. Ravech is the man...nostalgia from when BBTN was the best darn show on tv.

Another win over those slumping Royals!!! Covey was okay (I still like him) and bullpen did well (except for Beck)...Frazier got into his rhythm as well. Nice to see.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 25, 2017 -> 12:29 PM) I hope the Bears trade down. Such a value in doing so. How does this draft compare to drafts of years' past? Seems to be below average to me but admittedly I am not that learned in this area. The draft is actually very deep, especially loaded at DB and TE. QB is debatable and the top has a good number of above average players. You might say the top isn't quite as strong as some past drafts, but the quality and depth is very strong. I also argue that there are some intriguing QB options and I still believe we see 3 QB's picked in the 1st round (and I've been pretty adamant about this for months). I will be dissapointed if the Bears don't select a QB with one of its first two picks. I still think San Fran is taking a QB. No clear day 1 starter, but quite a few QB's with NFL talent.
