May 10, 201411 yr Being an ASU guy...I can't stand him. Very good RB...but yeah...character is pretty iffy. He's a classic example of local home town hero HS football player (Canyon Del Oro, Tucson) who stays home to play for local University and thought everybody should stop and kiss his ass. Kid's kind of a douche nozzle...but hopefully he's grown up and getting out into the real world will hopefully wake him up.
May 10, 201411 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 10, 2014 -> 12:14 PM) Would he profile as more of a big/power RB? He better be able to break tackles being that slow.
May 10, 201411 yr No...he's as big as Forte. And he's not a blazer...but his speed and quickness to the hole and in traffic is pretty good along with how physical a runner he is. His measurables don't jump out at you...but a very, very good, tough runner.
May 10, 201411 yr Phil or Trestman, I don't remember who, said pass protection was key in the #2 back and I'm reading Carey is one of the best pass protectors in the class. Improved maturity is also evident in his pass protection, where Carey ranks among the best in the class. Good awareness to locate blitzing defenders. Squares his shoulders and delivers a forceful blow or effective cut-block.
May 10, 201411 yr Bears trade up to snag Brrrrroooock Vereen! Love it. (The wrestling fans here will appreciate the drawn out Brock) Edited May 10, 201411 yr by scs787

May 10, 201411 yr Good for James White, one of the most unselfish team players Ive ever had the pleasure to watch.
May 10, 201411 yr The trade up was for a 5th this year and next, Bears also get a 7th rounder this year. Now I have some interest in the 7th round. Edited May 10, 201411 yr by scs787
May 10, 201411 yr Cowboys have 6 picks in the 7th RD. I think the Rams have 4. LOL. I guess I know which RD I'll be watching today.
May 10, 201411 yr 4th round picks ok.............Ferguson 2nd round pick I really dislike still. Edited May 10, 201411 yr by Soxfest
May 10, 201411 yr Love what the Bears did today. Carey looks like a tough runner, never goes down on first contact and has the ability to fight for extra yards. Character issues (including what has been mentioned in this thread) are a concern. Vereen seems like really good value at the end of the 4th. Glad the Bears identified that talent and traded to get him.
May 10, 201411 yr Vereens combine ranks among FSs 5th best 40 @ 4.47 Best 20 yard shuttle by .08 seconds Best cone drill by .07 seconds Most reps with 25 Tremendous athlete. If he fails at FS the Bears are gonna need another CB next year anyway so the versatility is nice as well Only knock on him is his arms are really short. Edited May 10, 201411 yr by scs787
May 10, 201411 yr Bears 6th round pick..............David Fales QB.............compared to Jeff Garcia........also a San Jose St guy..........Bill Polian liked his as much as David Carr when they went head to head last year. Emery said just a couple of days ago drafting a QB in late rounds never work out so he does not waste picks doing it. WTF ok Phil you were just playing coy. Edited May 10, 201411 yr by Soxfest
May 10, 201411 yr Fales sounds like a player that ought to develop into a very solid backup and could thrive with the coaching and weapons we have in Chicago a la Josh McCown
May 10, 201411 yr Bears pick #191 2nd 6 round pick ............Pat O'Donnell P Meet your new punter this year. I question drafting a punter he could of been had as a undrafted free agent. Edited May 10, 201411 yr by Soxfest
May 10, 201411 yr A punter!!! Ole! Damn, dude has 4.6 speed and benched 225 23 times as a punter. Edited May 10, 201411 yr by scs787
May 10, 201411 yr QUOTE (scs787 @ May 10, 2014 -> 03:19 PM) A punter!!! Ole! Damn, dude has 4.6 speed and benched 225 23 times as a punter. Thought it was funny that one scouting report knocked him for average athleticism after I saw those combine numbers. That's about as good as it gets for a punter. Not a high bar to clear to improve our punting game. I'm not going to pretend to know whether he'll be any good.
May 10, 201411 yr Love the Fales pick mostly because he's the perfect type of QB for Trestman. I like the idea of a developmental QB, even if they rarely pan out. When Emery made those comments about not taking one, I had been hoping he was bluffing. Not sure about taking a punter, but whatever. At least this O'Donnell guy looks the part. 6'4" 220, 4.6 40 with 23 reps on the bench. Impressive for a punter. I cannot believe Ahmad Dixon, Marcus Roberson, and Tiny Richardson are still on the board.

May 10, 201411 yr It is funny reading grades and people analyzing 5-7th round picks. Sure, a small percentage make an impact but a vast majority will be cut or replaced by another 6th round pick within a year or two. Tom Brady going in the 6th round was the worst thing to happen to the draft. Gives people hope of finding that late round gem.
