Draft Picks- Put Up or Shut Up

by Adam T on Apr 26, 2007 8:40 PM CDT

OK, guys! You have been listening too me as I put out my opinion and you have been reading as I have rained down the mock draft of every schmoe I could find. Now it is your turn, but no wimping out.

I want names. If you want to say we will trade down, fine, but give me who we pick up. If you want to talk positions, go ahead, but I want names attached.

I want opinionated, unabashed straight up cocky predictions.

Dwayne Jarrett...

...if he's there I think you take a chance on him especially since we can be more conservative 6 picks later.

You can justify this pick because Muhammad is getting old and Berrian is strictly a deep threat. Jarrett is similar to Muhammad in that he's not particularly fast but is a great route runner and uses his strength and size as an advantage over DBs.

I think its stupid to waste early round picks on offensive lineman. Look what happened to Columbo.

If we don't take a receiver I see Angelo going defense because he seems to be more comfortable making those picks. But, he seems to find great later round defensive talent. (i.e. Briggs, Vasher, Anderson).

I say try to make a trade to move up in the draft and take Okoye. Offer Briggs and our 37th for the 6th? Probably not gonna happen but I like the idea of getting a 19 year old defensive tackle to put alongside a 23 year old Tommie Harris.

if they

stay at 31 and 37, names i'd like to see are joe staley, dwayne bowe, steve smith, ben grubbs.

if they move up to 6 or 9, i'd like to see okoye, levi brown, landry (or of course calvin johnson).

Anyone else see...

The article on yahoo! saying the Briggs/Skins trade is 50-50 to get done before the draft tommorow?

I think it'd be funny if we couldn't trade Briggs and he sat 10 games and played his 6 and the Bears franchised him again.

Here's your optimistic, bold prediction:

the Bears trade up and get Calvin Johnson. They'll trade Lance Briggs, their number 31 selection and a later selection (say, 4th round) to the Bucs for the number 4 overall pick. The top 3 will be Russell, Thomas, and Peterson, and CJ will take our offense to a new level next season.
