Buffalo got a huge playmaker. Gives me a reason to watch my AFC team Bills.

 

They did, but Cleveland is still probably getting a top 8-10 pick next year out of it.

I agree but I cannot fault Buffalo on the deal. Cleveland is also happy.

A CB. Meh. Should have gone with the safety.

I'll be disappointed if it's not Pryor. Grab a DT in the 2nd....

Bears take Kyle Fuller CB

Woulda like HaHa a lot more.

I also wanted Pryor or Ha-Ha........ safety a way bigger need than corner this season....................Conte again this year makes me vomit. I think Bears thought McDonald was going to fall to them Rams took him at 13. I wonder If Fuller starts at corner and Tillman moves to safety.

I hate this pick. Not gonna lie.

Don't be surprised if he moves to safety: “I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up being a safety,” a second scout said. “He’s just a really good football player from the standpoint he knows what he’s seeing. There were a couple games he played the Will linebacker spot against the option teams. He’s just a smart football player, and he’s got the talent, too. I’m not going to say he can’t play corner in the NFL, but I think he has the potential to be a Pro Bowl-caliber safety, whereas he doesn’t have the elite speed outside, that might hurt him at times out there (at cornerback).”

So apparently even the official @nfl account tweeted #sadmanziel.

Great Packers get Ha-Ha Dix.

I wanted to move down given Donald went, however, Fuller has some nice tools and I think having a strong cover corner more important then safety. Happy with the pick but I was one of the few that kept talking up the Bears taking a corner over safety and a lot of that had to do with the fact that I didn't think this was an elite safety class and therefor felt it may not make sense to take one in the first round. Like going db as a whole knowing there should be a DT available in the 2nd round that has a first round grade (hopefully at least).

I love Cleveland.

I think the Browns just drafted Colt McCoy again. I hope I'm wrong though as I actually like Johnny football.

Johnny is a much, much better player than McCoy. He has got much better physical tools.

right?!?...their fans are nuts. Happy for them right now and hope he does well for them...

We'll see. He's more athletic for sure but I'm not sold on him making NFL throws at all.

I like what Browns have done. I really liked getting the CB. I have quietly been pushing CB over safety (in fact had MLB over safety too) and would have taken CB or Mosely over either safety, especially Ha Ha who I think is very overrated. I think in this deep corner draft we'll see Bears select another corner, who they think they can move to free safety. We got a guy who some thought was the top corner in the draft @ 14. I'll take that all day and let Tillman and company help coach him and prepare him. I hope we get another young guy to join the secondary and think it will be a third or 4th rounder that we convert. You can find good safety's late and that guy doesn't have to be a safety as you can teach a corner to be a safety and succeed (and I love the idea of having a guy that is a good cover guy at safety…clearly they have to be able to tackle too).

Durability will be his biggest issue. He should be a great fit in Shanny's offense, just a major question of will he be able to stay on the field.

Strike 1 for Lovie.

 

 

Should've been Manziel. Nothing against Evans b/c I would've been pleased with that selection under difference circumstances but my gosh. Thank goodness for the Bruins tonight.

Emery said he will stay at corner and play nickel downs mostly this year. If that is the case it is a bad pick for 2014 playing only 3rd downs in the nickel over a starting safety does not help the Bears much in 2014. In 2015 Fuller taking over for Peanut at corner the pick will help alot more then.

He kind of put to bed a lot of the arm strength questions recently. He has a more than adequate arm. His issue is height and off the field stuff really. And his propensity to hold the ball too long
