April 27, 200817 yr They wanted to fill Gilmore's vacancy,but they could have down that later on by signing an undrafted free agent or something.
April 27, 200817 yr QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 03:19 PM) I wonder if they aren't thinking of using him at DE.... Kellen Davis TE 6'7" 262 Michigan State Pick Analysis:Davis played both tight end and defensive end last year at Michigan State. He is a talented pass rusher and has the size to make plays offensively as well. Ran a 4.59 in the 40, impressive given his size, and had four sacks in limited time on defense. There is some thought that his best spot could be at defensive end, but as Mike Vrabel has shown, it never hurts to have tight end skills as a pass rusher. Add 30 pounds, he's a decent guard or OT maybe.
April 27, 200817 yr Author So, Andre Woodson is a 7th rounder. Sucks for him. I don't understand that at all.

April 27, 200817 yr Author so can Woodson beat out the Super Bowl MVP for the starting job? I imagine probably not.
April 27, 200817 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) Jerry Angelo needs to go. He can't draft at all. Green? Hope they are not even thinking about Colt Brennen. Nevermind. He quietly got drafted. Edited April 27, 200817 yr by Brian
April 27, 200817 yr Indy is a great fit for Mike Hart. They love the smaller backs that hide behind the line.

April 27, 200817 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 27, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) Jerry Angelo needs to go. He can't draft at all. Hasnt he drafted 6 or more pro bowlers in late rounds the last several years? Thats pretty good. Check out the Lions for poor drafting textbooks Edited April 27, 200817 yr by RockRaines
April 27, 200817 yr I wouldnt be upset if the Bears took Morelli from PSU. He was a top talent out of HS and PSU pretty much didnt help his progression.
April 27, 200817 yr Author Bills had a nice draft...filled needs and seemed to strengthen the defense quite well. I'm happy.
April 28, 200817 yr Bears singed a FA QB after the draft. Nick Hill from SIU....Good luck Bears agree to deal with Southern Illinois QB By Vaughn McClure, 8:31 p.m. After not drafting a quarterback, Jerry Angelo said the Bears would look to sign a couple undrafted free-agent. The Bears have lined up at least one, agreeing to terms on a standard three-year deal with Southern Illinois' Nick Hill. The 6-foot-2, 214-pound Hill started all 14 games for the Salukis in 2007. He completed 258 of 361 passes for 3,175 yards with 28 touchdowns and seven interceptions. "We’re very excited about this opportunity for Nick,'' said agent Andrew Simms. "You always want your clients drafted. But when that doesn't happen, it's always about the next opportunity. With just two quarterbacks over there in Chicago, Nick has the opportunity to compete."
