April 22, 20187 yr Found this pretty awesome draft order board with draft values The Browns are on the clock!
April 23, 20187 yr That is awesome. I'm getting fired out. Quietly I hope we trade down...more fun to have more picks haha.
April 23, 20187 yr My big board for the Bears would be: Chubb Barkley Davenport R. Smith Edmunds Ward James/Fitzpatrick Nelson I wouldn't be against trading down to 11, 12 or 15, either, because I think Davenport, James/Fitzpatrick or Edmunds would be there anyway.

April 23, 20187 yr I would like Nelson round one, then either an edge rusher or wide receiver in round two.

The seat is tilted forward for more exit room. You are sitting like you are about to be shot out of a cannon.
April 23, 20187 yr Really hoping Allen slides to #8 somehow. I'd love for Pace to trade back with Miami or Buffalo or even Arizona and try to get an extra pick. Edited April 23, 20187 yr by TheTruth05
April 23, 20187 yr I'd like to see them trade with NE (who has two 1st round and two 2nd) round picks. The Pats have to be in the market for Brady's replacement again. It would be interesting to see what the 8th pick is worth.

On that chart, that's the 12th pick + Buffalo's 3rd rounder, for example. Or just more than NE's two first round picks (total 1360 together).

I would expect them to slightly overpay (two 1's and a 3, two 1's and a 2) but not two 1's and two 2's

I was actually going to ask if anyone had the chart that showed draft value. Shows how much I pay attention. And, in reply to Soxfan49, I wasn't suggesting two 1s and two 2s for the Bears' #8 - just noticed that NE had the picks and motivation in a qb heavy first round to make the Bears' pick attractive.

I think the Bills will want to move up, the only question I have is whether a QB lasts long enough for them to be able to do it. If the top 4 QBs go to Cleveland, the Giants, the Jets, and the Broncos, the Bills won't have anyone to move up to get.
April 25, 20187 yr Unless Chubb miraculously falls, I’m hoping three QBs go ahead of us and the Bears are able to trade the #8 pick to a team desperate for that 4th QB. Arizona & Buffalo seem to be the teams to watch. Miami is most definitely a threat to take a QB if one of the big four makes it to them at #11, so both of those teams should be looking to move up into the 5 to 8 range. But with Chubb, Barkley, & Nelson as highly attractive non QB options, the #8 pick could be one of the highest pick that is readily available. Will be interesting to see how this all shakes out.

April 25, 20187 yr I'm hoping it's Nelson. If he's gone I think I'd go with Roquan Smith. The whole QB question will be intriguing. If I was a team needing a QB...I'd be squeamish trading up for any of these guys. A team like the Pats would be smart to sit back and take Luke Falk in the 2nd round (a little high for him...but if they need a QB that fits their system...he's as good as any other QB in this draft). It will definitely be interesting come Thursday....and trading down is a real possibility.

I really think that they need OL help and corner DE help.

Because Terrell is more of a LB/S hybrid while Tremaine is more of a LB/EDGE hybrid.

April 25, 20187 yr There is an article in the Tribune stating the Bears have picked 8th five times and have yet to "strike gold". Then they go through them. Dennis Lick wasn't a bad player, but the one I don't understand was Wally Chambers. He made the Pro Bowl something like 4 out of 5 years, and then got traded to Tampa Bay for a draft pick used to select Dan Hampton. If that isn't striking gold, it's hard to imagine what is.
April 25, 20187 yr Biggs posted an article saying that the Bears secretly met with Davenport. Had Davenport not said anything to an "unidentified Chicago reporter," no one would know this. They did this last year with MT. I wonder if he'll be the pick. It sure fits the athleticism Pace looks for and it sure fits a need.
