I can’t wait for this to get started. Here is what I think it going to happen today:
1) Jeff Otah
2) Brian Brohm
I looked through several Mock Drafts that were updated as of yesterday, and there are some interesting options. Most of them have the Bears going with Otah, and if they don’t, the other majority was Mendenhall. I think I’d be happy with either since we could use both.
The second round will be interesting. I’d think that if Brohm dropped past the Ravens which is now expected, that he’d fall into the second round at least. If he was there, I’d see no reason not to pick him up unless there is a good RB there.
Some Mock Drafts had the Bears going with Dennis Dixon and John David Booty in the third or fourth round. That’d be interesting.
I think one thing is for sure. The first three rounds will include a O-Line pick, a RB, QB and WR. That would use up all four of our 1-3 round picks.
Okay, enough rambling. Just four more hours…

First Five...
It looks like it’ll be something like this one through five:
1) Jake Long
2) Chris Long
3) Matt Ryan
4) Glen Dorsey
5) Darren McFadden

I really hope we can get Otah or Mendenhall in the first and Brohm in the second. That’d be a nice first day IMO. Then in the third we could get whatever we don’t take in the first (RB or OL) and a WR. I can’t wait to have the weekend over and see what we have. I wish the whole thing was today.

O-line
I might be in the minority here, but I think we need to go Tackle, Guard in rounds 1 and 2. Then in 3+ take the skill guys. We need 2 O-line starters not just one (unless the mysterious, un-used Beekman is any good). A good line makes all the difference. See Cleveland last year vs the many, many years before.

What’s the over-under on SB*Nation going down during the draft – pick four?
Otah / Brohm might be the ideal scenario, but I don’t see Brohm lasting until 44.
Going Tackle/Guard 14/44 wouldn’t be terrible either.
The worst-case scenario is probably Mendenhall (one year wonder) / Henne (always sucked, still sucks), but it wouldn’t surprise me if they went that route either.
Insert clever and witty remark slash pun here!

whoa whoa whoa
mendenhall a one year wonder? c’mon dude, he didn’t start as a soph but posted an 8.2 ypc which led to him being the starter as a junior.
and henne hardly sucks, just can’t stay healthy. great football iq, but no matter who we pick at QB they probably won’t be ready for 2 years or so.
by lopey986 on Apr 26, 2008 12:37 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess
O-line, RB, WR, O-line in the first 3 rounds….
unless Flacco or Brohm are available in the 2nd round….

I'm pumped.
I bet it will be O-line in round one but if they pull out a trick and take a Mendenhall, I will be happy. I also am willing to bet $50 that Jake Long goes number 1, hahahaha.
Hey WCG did you get at least 10 entries for the Draft Challenge?

No
I have about 4 for each. I am still keeping score for bragging rights though.

I think
I’ll have about 4 right in the first round. Counting Jake Long. Which would be on par with most mock drafts.

I'll take that bet,
if you bet me $51 that St. Louis takes Chris Long.

It seems like
the Saints trade involving Jamaal Brown so they can move up to get Glenn Dorsey probably isn’t going to happen, so if the Rams stay at 2 the obvious choice is Chris Long.

This is just

How would you all feel
if say Albert fell to 14 for the Bears and they had the chance to get Sam Baker in the 2nd? Would you be willing to bypass RB,QB,WR if we could bolster T and G?

If that happened
and Forte was still there at the top of the 3rd, I’d pass out.
by Doctor Chicago on Apr 26, 2008 12:29 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I wouldn't take
back to back o-lineman. Albert in the first would be ok, but i don’t like baker at all. I’d rather have a running back or trade up to get a big name QB than take Baker in the second.
I am like your Dan Aykroyd and biglow would be Jane, the ignorant slut. -Chad

i know i know
i’m hopin for mendenhall, love to have a u of i stud in our backfield. o-line seems to be the popular vote right now, i just hope if we do go o-line that guy is ready to come in and start from jump, because that is what we need and that is why i was an advocate of us signing a few fa lineman. it is easier to bolster an o-line in the short term through FA…and you can get good long term o-lineman later in the draft therefore you use your early picks on skill position players.

Its being reported
that St. Louis has decided to take Chris Long, so another pick we can’t anticipate.

McShay
just said he thinks Ryan, Flacco, Henne and Brohm all go in the first round.
And Dikta is talking about the 65 Bears draft, what kind of prediction is that?

Actually
his prediction is that nobody will have a draft like that. Well, duh! How often is a team going to get players the caliber of Butkus and Sayers? That is once in a lifetime situation.

Compares To: D’BRICKASHAW FERGUSON-New York Jets…Like Ferguson, Williams relies on finesse moves and his long reach over power. Both need to improve their overall strength and add bulk to handle the demanding task of playing left tackle. Williams might be a better fit at guard early in his career, so as not to expose him against speedy edge rushers. He can mirror the quicker defender in the short area, but he is marginal taking on second-level defenders and needs to improve taking proper angles when working in space. He has the frame to get bigger, but needs to play with more tenacity. He is a smart student, but will miss a few assignments due to mental lapses. With just adequate hip snap, he would be a liability starting at left tackle as a rookie, but he has the makeup, size and desire to improve.

Compares To: CEDRIC BENSON-Chicago…Bears fans might not like reading this comparison, especially since Mendenhall has attained “favorite son” status in the Windy City. Both are well-built runner with thick frames that are best served running between the tackles, as neither has that blazing speed you want in an outside runner. Mendenhall capitalized from his only season as a starter into a future NFL contract, but while he has made marked improvement in 2007, there is work to be done. He knows how to pick and slide, but there are times he will just run right at a defender rather than elude. His ball distribution needs total refinement, as he has a knack for swinging the ball wildly when he runs. Like Benson, that leads to a high amount of costly fumbles. He is a good receiver out of the backfield and relatively durable, having never missed a game due to injuries. While he should be a first-round pick, with strong post-Combine workouts, he still has a big learning curve ahead of him.

Giving up picks (present and future) when we have multiple needs to address would be insane especially for a roll of the dice on a guy who carried the load for one full season.
