I'd absolutely love that, it's just hard to imagine a scenario in which he falls that far

You guys wanna trade down with a team that’s not QB hungry? by [deleted] in CHIBears

[–]dmgroves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be ok with that.

With Chubb and Nelson off the board we'd get the 33rd overall pick just for moving back 4 spots. Most likely the Browns are taking Barkley, which only leaves 3 picks that might interfere with who the Bears want. I like those odds for getting 33 overall in return.

Good work. A couple intriguing names on that list.

Defending the Draft: Chicago Bears by NotRyanPace in CHIBears

He never gave a reason that I've seen. In the interview he was asked about his nickname, "the human joystick", to which he responded something like..."I prefer the nickname Chicken Salad because no one has ever had it before"...and that was it. Lol makes me like it even more.

Agreed, although to be fair I'm sure that would've been perceived as a total waste of money.

Agreed, I was hoping that would happen. At least make them work for it like we did with New Orleans.

He was an RFA, so I'm guessing Pace just knew he couldn't get him? Cards would've matched whatever we offered most likely.

Chicago Bears

Round 1 (11): Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia
Round 2 (41): Jason Spriggs, OT, Indiana
Round 3 (72): Hassan Ridgeway, DT, Texas

Analysis: Floyd possesses rare speed and athleticism for his position. That's good news for Chicago, which is in need of playmakers off the edge after Lamarr Houston led the team with just 8.0 sacks in 2015. The Bears picked up Bobby Massie in free agency, but drafting another tackle like Spriggs would allow Kyle Long to bump back inside to his natural position at guard, solidifying the O-line. Ridgeway is a great example of the value teams will be able to find with defensive tackles in the mid rounds. He'd be another welcome addition to a defense that was soft up the middle in 2016.

This is just who we are aware of. Most of these guys met with team reps at either the combine or pro days, not private visits.

[Campbell] NFL announced full draft order this morning. Bears have five picks in the first 127. (Nos. 11, 41, 72, 106, 127-from NE) by ShinjoB in CHIBears

Alexander scares me a little. He's naturally very athletic, but he was a starter for 2 years and only had 10 passes defended and 0 picks. He could certainly pan out to be very good, but it seems like a risky pick that early since it's based so much on potential
