Revis and Banks now.

 

Bye bye Eric Wright...

If its not Brown I have no idea who they will take - I feel like the talent just thinned out quite a bit

This is not pointed out enough. Angelo went from a very good draft guy to a guy that drafted very specific talent people, as soon as Lovie got his big deal.

I've always thought Angelo was a very good talent evaluator and to be frank a pretty good GM.

Bostic

Don't know a lot about Bostic, thoughts?

Bostic over Brown for the Bears. I think that is a mistake.

Bostic is a safe pick, extremely productive LB in SEC, hard to imagine he cant be at worst decent in NFL.

 

(edit)

 

Probably selected over Brown because he can potentially play both ILB/OLB. Where as Brown is more OLB

Fills a need. Both picks filled needs. Not sure on the value side but if they pan out, you don't think twice. No deying Long is a legit talent.

FWIW, cbssports.com had Long ranked 56th & Bostic 84th.

Brown would've been the better pick, I don't really like the Bostic pick. The Patriots passed on him too but then the Ravens (who draft very well) traded up to get him.

 

The one thing I will say is that with the addition of Long, the Bears have a ton of depth and flexibility on the O-line. We have six guys who could legitimately play tackle in Bushrod, Webb, Carimi, Scott, Brown, & Long. That's quite the improvement from having Frank Omiyale as the swing tackle in recent years.

I'm glad we got a MLB. We've run all kinds of guys out there opposite Briggs at OLB with no problem

Terrible play by Rios

Hankins next to Melton would have been nice.

Of course the f***ing Packers get Eddie Lacy with the 61st overall pick.

I rank the Bears draft last in the division so far not good.

Ok I've done some reading and asking around, I don't think I mind this pick that much. Bostic is a converted safety who is athletic and fast (4.5), hits very hard, and the knock on him is that he has trouble getting off blocks. That profile sounds... Vaguely familiar.

I'm not a big fan of the Bostic pick. It's merely okay, but there were better options out there. I've watched a ton of SEC football over the last few years, including seeing him in person 3x, and he not once stood out to me. That's not a good thing. Honestly, I remember Bostic more from when Tennessee was recruiting him in high school than him playing at Florida. That doesn't say much about him.

 

But hey guys, at least he graded out at the top of the Bears athletic index.... Is Emery trying to be Al Davis by putting such a huge emphasis on measurables?

 

I should say that I'd probably be a bit more okay with this pick if Emery hadn't reached so much in Round 1. Bostic is a slight reach, which would have been perfectly acceptable if Long hadn't been taken way too high.

Can we get Barkley somehow?

Broncos will be nuts to pass on Barkley IMO

Can we get Barkley somehow?

 

I'd love it.
