Out all last season.

 

Big and fast.

Ran a 4.44 at pro day per nfl network, 4.46 per espn. ( lightning quick for safety) Wasnt invited to combine. Was mayocks 7th safety overall, ranked 134 overall by espn but taken at 79.

 

Probably coulda gotten him later but seems like a guy they must have liked. Safety definitely was a Huge need for this team

Alright, its impossible to like this pick. Unless you the world's biggest homer you cannot agree with drafting a guy who hasn't played competitive football in more than a year and a half over a bunch of guys who could've helped Jay Cutler's head stay on straight.

Emery leaves alot to be desired running the draft. He is Angelo 2.0.......................Picks 1 and 3 suck. NOT to address the OL in 3 rounds in criminal, got to draft a Safety for the 8th year in a row!

This is a really long interview for a 3rd round pick haha.

I think everyone knows I'm not exactly the most patient of posters, but I'm willing to give Emery a chance to prove himself. Jeffery should be no worse than a #3 starter, as he made some bad quarterbacks look better than they were.

I also am willing to wait and see. Im not overly impressed right now, but he gets paid to do it, so hopefully he knows more than me.

Jeffery was a good pick. You wont find many people disagreeing with that one.

 

The other two though were classic Angelo. I get the feeling Emery is the same as Angelo where he wont upgrade the offensive line until it becomes absolutely imperative.

I don't exactly love the most recent pick either, but you do realize that the Bears' defense is about 1-2 seasons away from terrible, right?

 

 

I get the feeling this guy will be put as LB, trying to find us another Urlacher.

From the looks of it, they definitely wanted Shea and Jeffery with their first two picks. Haven't heard much about Hardin yet, but it sure seems like Emery believe there's enough OL depth for now.

As opposed to the offense which has been terrible for a long time and only gets worse as the season goes on and our total lack of depth sinks our season as inevitable injuries knock out our starters.

Anyone get a chance to listen to Shea's interview on B&B today? Quite painful at times, as it seemed like B&B held back some of their opinions on the situation.

San Fran gets the Oregon RB.

 

Frank Gore must feel so disrespected.

Painful is a kind word for it.

So they didnt even do highlights on Hardin?

Another safety? The Bears have to lead the league in late round draft picks wasted on safeties the last 10 years.

Drafted a Safety 8 years running now!

Drafted a Safety 8 years running now!

Is it really 8 years straight? Plus signing Adam Archuleta... ugh. The Ghost of Mike Brown lingers.

Stop saying this... this is a Class 1 meatball statement

 

Three f***ing picks into his career, none of which you've actually seen do anything in the NFL at all, and you're ready to bury him next to the grave of the last failure of a GM.

Sad fact but 100% true pathectic isn't it.

 

 

 

Phil Emery is in his first draft running the Chicago Bears but he has not broken an old habit.

For the eighth consecutive year, the team has selected a safety, this time grabbing Brandon Hardin of Oregon State in the third round with the 79th overall pick.

The critiquing of the NFL draft by fans that have never even watched tape on these guys always makes me chuckle....
