Mock Draft - William Beatty

Just thought i’d drop in and say that i didn’t vote because I’ve never heard of either of these guys.. You should have put up some stats ht,wt, and maybe some numbers from this past season. Myself I don’t want either one in the 1st rnd.. Neither one of them had a season of playing power house Ds.. Who knows how good they will be in the NFL! I would rather give up our 1st pick for Gross or another vet at a skilled position that needs filled. Like somebody said before “our 1st rnd picks are never that good.” Then if you wanna draft a T of G of this caliber do it in a later round. Anyways if they are unable to get gross, an unproven T/G thats been in the league 2 or 3 yrs and isen’t askin for a the big dollars seems more ideal for what we need.. They need to be lookin real hard at the least of FA Gs and Ts next Friday..

if we take the 6th Tackle at #18 i’ll be pissed. As much as we need OLine help taking the 6th best at his position with #18 is a desperation reach for a position of need when the first or second best WR/G/S/LB/CB is on the board. to some extent there are “tiers” of talent, maybe this class of tackles is that deep (at least 6 Tackles worthy of 1st round), but i doubt it.

I would be happy if the Bears drafted Duke Robinson in the 1st, so getting him in the 2nd would be great. at #50 there will be OLine talent (maybe Loadholt) so i’d like the bears to go best player available in the 1st round and go for needs in the 2nd and on.

if theres one thing that Angelo can do right, it’s getting good linemen in free agency

Than the 6th best olineman at 18. We have enough needs where you take the best available player (Unless its something we don’t need like a TE). And I think Jerry and Lovie will feel that way too, especially because they tend to delude themselves into thinking we’re a good team because we finished 9-7. But personally, I’d rather see us take the 2nd best receiver or 3rd best CB or S than the 6th best OT/OG. Heck I’d even be ok with taking the BEST center in the draft than the 6th best guard.

Again I think the Bears should look at Robert Brewster the RT from Ball State. He’s big and powerful and he can run and pass block. The biggest concern is that he didn’t play out of a 3-point stance in the spread offense.

It’s going to be a huge reach if JA picks one of these guys when they can probably get a quality RT or G in the 2nd. Depending on what he does in FA at WR/RT will determine what the #18 pick will be. Taking the best player available is always the right move, and neither one of these guys will fit the description.

" this one was on purpose

to show contempt for you all’s reply madness."

This mock would make more sense if the Bears picks were reversed. There’s a better chance Robinson goes in the first than Beatty. And really? Two line man with the top two picks? I guess I wouldn’t complain but I just don’t see that happening. I agree with the best player available in the first. There should be plenty of right tackle prospects available in the second, Meredith, Loadholt, Boone, maybe Beatty or Britton. Resign St. Clair and give that pick a year to get ready. Then you can slide St Clair inside and hopefully Beekman will suffice as Kruetz replacement.

but thought he was more of a LT (and still a project at that). I had him at late 2nd-early 3rd, so this is quite a bit of a reach. I’m a big fan of Robinson, so getting him in the second sounds great (I still think he’ll go late 1st though).
