lostfan Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 12:25 PM) FWIW Angelo did this for a living, too. Angelo did a pretty respectable job (IMO) until Lovie got involved in the process. That was 2007 and not coincidentally 2007 was the worst draft of Angelo's career. But it was largely Angelo who drafted the Super Bowl defense, found Hester, etc. and hard as it might be to visualize now, at one point the Bears had a decent OL.

Dick Allen Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 03:02 PM) Wasn't all the talk this year about how this is the worst draft in decades? Why do people get so upset about it? Was that for the entire draft or just skill positions? I supposed if its the worst draft for skill positions it would make it the worst draft overall.

witesoxfan Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I doubt it's the worst draft ever. There's just not a lot of elite talent in it. There is all kinds of depth in it though, primarily at safety and receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 04:01 PM) Maybe, Id have said that Eifert added more because he would help the OL and passing game. So that is 2 birds with 1 stone, and likely would start from day 1. Jefferies, Eifert, Bennett, Marshall  That is a nice 2te/2wr set that gives you a ton of flexibility. Way more than getting a lineman who may never start.  Just personal preference. But so does Long - actually the running game b/c the interior blocking last year was pathetic.  If Long isn't going to have immediate impact and has to get technique down, a rookie 2nd string TE who plays in specific formations isn't going to either.

Kyyle23 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 02:59 PM) Kyle, If the bears historically had good 1st round picks, Id just let it go. But when they consistently muck it up, its just not saddening.  Im tired of being fed nonsense.  Badger,  I know.  I read it every year.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely unless he was something like a top 10 pick (in which case the Bears wouldn't have signed him)  Even Urlacher wasn't given a starting spot right away, he had to show he belonged there to stay.

Â Im not suggesting that he would be given a spot. Im suggesting that after watching the 2 players play, I believe that the coaching staff would come to the determination that Eifert > Bennett, and I would hope that they would start the best player.

Soxfest Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 26, 2013 -> 02:18 PM) So with Cutler on the last year of his deal, and the market for quarterbacks having gone to ludicrous, any chance the Bears pop on a Geno Smith or Matt Barkley if they are there? I thimk Geno is gone but Barkley could be a reality with Emery nothing would suprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
