Bears have the cap space.

Wow.. Bears should be all over that.

Wow. Not sure what Carolina is doing.

Norman and Fuller on the outside with Porter at the nickel.......Yes please

Please sign Norman

Apparently he wants 6/96. That's a lot of money for a guy who *maybe* has 4 years left

Didn't realize he was that old.

Depending on the bonus money, that isn't that big of a deal. YOu can always cut someone.

Yeah, at his age, with those contract "demands" I'm a little iffy. If they can work in some easy outs after 3 or 4 years I'm down.

 

Wish the Jets would follow suit and pull the tag on Mo.

Meh.. 28 (soon to be 29) for a CB isn't that old. Plus he has less miles on his body than the usual players his age.

 

But his asking price is just scary especially for, all accounts, a zone corner. Norman is a very good player but he's no difference maker. If I'm paying 90+ mil for someone, gimme Mo.

Elliot is gonna be a Bear.

 

Please no. Stanley, Rankins or Reed.

IIRC there were only 4 corners in the entire NFL this year over 34 years old. I gusss there's a chance he could be the exception, but the rule would state that he has about 4 years left. I'd definitely do 4/60 though.

Exactly. Pay the man and draft one you can develop.

 

Love to see Cleveland is going to f*** up another QB draft. Pretty sure they are aiming for Cardale.

Bears looking at Brian Hoyer, maybe?

According to LaCanfora. He tweeted that if Hoyer doesn't sign in Denver, he expects him to be a Bear by the end of the week.

I'm okay with that. there aren't any good backups in this game.

Hes not gonna make it that far.

I've heard of him going as high as #4.

Dallas would be crazy to take Elliott over Bosa or Ramsey. I can't see the Jags, Ravens, Niners, or Bucs taking him. If the Browns and Giants go elsewhere, he'll be on the board for the Bears and I think they'd take him if he is.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 08:18 PM)

Rankins isn't a fit in the Bears defense. Reed is a good player. Probably a reach at #11 though. Ronnie Stanley would be a great pick though. If you made me guess, I bet they take Shaq Lawson.

I sincerely hope you're right.

Is some team really going to pay Josh Norman 16 million a year?

 

I think the Panthers were smart to let him go. I'm not sure any CB is worth 16 million a year. Especially not one who had one good year.

What other parts do you disagree with? I didn't include Jack because of his knee. We know the top 2 will be QB's. SD needs an OT badly. Elliott makes a ton of sense at 4 for Dallas but so does Ramsey. Ramsey would be an easy pick for the Jags. The Ravens need pass rushing help. The 49ers have lost two top 10 OT's over the last few years and Stanley is really good. Cleveland needs a QB. Tampa really needs CB help. I say Treadwell because NYG needs a WR, S and CB. In my scenario they could go Hargreaves but I have TB snatching him up, but there are rumors he may have failed a drug test at the combine. There's no safety worth taking at 10. Treadwell has as sure of hands as we've seen in awhile.

 

Sorry, I was distracted when I was writing and didn't mean it to come across so incredulous at your mock draft, I was going to finish a point that the best made plans are going to be laid to waste in this draft as I think Tunsill is going to be a wildcard that ping pongs around. I wouldn't be surprised if the Chargers go Ramsey or trade down.

Sounds like Tampa Bay or San Francisco might. He's awesome. He's 28 though. Panthers were smart. They obviously reached out to clubs and could only get late round picks in return. By doing this, they'll receive a 3rd round comp pick in 2017 when he signs elsewhere.
