Wow, former Sox draft pick

Bears select Kyle Long Guard Oregon

I would have liked Ogletree or Eifert.

Welp. Kyle Long makes it to Chicago one way or another.

I like it. If Cutler gets time, anyone can become a good WR.

Wow, former Sox draft pick

 

A 300 pounder played baseball?!

Wow. Not what I expected at all.

So we get a guy who probably won't even start on day one???

Lol... Oh man, the past 2 bears drafts they overdraft... Why do they pick projects in the 1st round?

 

This guy would have been there in the 2nd more than likely.

Wow. Not what I expected at all.

I thought Eifert was a lock.

Long is insanely talented, but just doesn't have much track record. I think he'll start at guard this year and hopefully can transition to T at some point.

Adding more protection to the line is never bad thing.

 

Hopefully it pans out.

I don't get the Bears, most first round picks are supposed to play day 1 and 2 years in a row Bears draft projects.

Bengals couldn't get that Eifert pick in fast enough.

I have to think they could have traded down 15 spots and gotten long

Goes next at 21

He was 4th best available on Kiper's board at time of pick.

Maybe, but no one is trading up it seems.

I thought this guy was suppose to be a draft guru and he drafts a guy who won't even be a starter when Eifert or Trufant was still there??? Wow

Hey Bear fans we will see Eifert in Chicago his first pro game week 1 problem is he will be a Bengal.

Bears ruined what the Sox and Bulls were making into a good night.

Ok, this is pretty cool.

So we get a guy who probably won't even start on day one???

2nd year in a row.

National Football Post: The Bears made a bad choice selecting Long in the first round because he is a long way from being a quality starting lineman. While he's quick and explosive, Long is stiff in the hips and too often bends at the waist to try to make blocks. He is going to need to greatly improve his technique to ever justify being a first-round selection.

The Bears pick is so disappointing. There were so many better players left on the board.
