I think the Bears bring in Hoyer or Foles.

 

Definitely think Hoyer is gonna be a Bear.

 

Lots of secondary help. Lots of length and much needed athleticism back there now.

 

Outside of the Floyd pick, I am loving this draft.

Draft trivia: Who got drafted first?

 

A) any player from Michigan

B) a kicker

You think any chance for a round 7 QB?

If Allen is there, sure.

 

If not, Dan Vitale

And the first guy who got drafted from Michigan was initially a walk on

I always love the Vikngs draft

Daniel Braverman WR.

 

Checked out his rotoworld page, first thing I read says he might be the best slot WR in the draft...Next thing I read compares him to Wes Welker.

 

With Eddie Royal being booty last year, they might get some production out of their 7th round pick. Love that.

So did Ryan Pace just use PFF's draft board? Every pick after Floyd was seen by them as a steal, Braverman was #62 on their board and they got him at #230.

23 catches in 2 games vs Michigan State and Ohio State for Braverman.

Very good draft for Pace and company.

So many players aren't drafted that I thought were a lock. Shocking

This is why we didn't Draft a QB, Bears sign QB Brian Hoyer

I you've got that backwards.

Love them bringing in Hoyer. Legit quality backup. I have a lot more confidence in him vs the majority of the QBs this year.

Yep. The QBs in this draft aren't all that great either.

Who got drafted first: an Illinois player or an LSU player?

Wow really?

Ben Braunecker could be a solid UDFa pick up for the Bears. Top performer at every drill among TEs. Said to be a nasty run blocker.

Wow really?

Jihad Ward went 44th to Oakland

Deion Jones went 52nd to Atlanta

ESPN.com has what I'm guessing are each team's beat writer (based on Jeff Dickerson for the Bears) giving a thumbs up or down to each team's draft. Only the guys for SF and Oakland went thumbs down. I guess 30 teams had good drafts.

And LSU has been a very good team in the draft lately. Jihad is the man though

The Browns had an atrocious draft

 

I'd give the Bears a B+ for their's

 

They have gotten a lot younger but more importantly faster and have accumulated depth across the defense. They have 3 capable RB's as well as one of the better WR groups if White's anything like they say he is. With their schedule I don't see why they can't win 9 games, at least.

 

If my math is right, they only have 7 guys on the roster who are 30 or older, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's 5 by July 1 when you consider the potential scenarios of trading or cutting Slauson and Young
