3rd and 4th round big board
#1 Myron Lewis, FS, Vanderbilt- Free Safety has become more of a top priority this off-season than Offensive Lineman.
#2 John Jerry, OG, Ole Miss- The hiring of Tice ensures that the Bears are going to a power running attack. John Jerry at 335 pounds is a punishing running blocker that would fit well in Mike Tice run blocking scheme.
#3 Lindsey Witten, DE, Connecticut- The death of Gaines Adams makes Defensive End a top priority. Lindsey Witten is a 3-4 rush linebacker but projects as a Defensive End at the next level.
#4 Eric Olsen, C, Notre Dame- The Bears need a heir apparent to Olin Kruetz. I've seen no indication that Josh Beekman is ready to fill that role.
#5 Joel McKnight RB, USC- Probably won't be there in the 3rd round, but if he is there he can't be ignored. The Bears need a change of pace back to go with Forte and Bell.
#6 Robert Johnson, FS, Utah- A big FS who had pretty good senior season with 70 tackles,(4 for loss) 6 pass deflections, and 6 interceptions.
#7 Sergio Render, OG, Virginia Tech- Sergio Render can be a good NFL starter at the next level. He plays with a mean streak which is what the Bears need in the interior line.
#8 Danario Alexander, WR, Missouri- 6-5 215 pounds caught 113 balls for 1,781 yards, enuff said.
#9 Mitch Petrus OG, Arkansas- Was All-SEC second team in 08 and 2010 for the razorbacks. Bears need interior lineman that can get a push and open up holes for Forte and Bell.
#10 Jay Ross NT, East Carolina- Time to put Marcus Harrison on notice.
#11 Jared Veldheer, T, Hillsdale- Very good athletic tackle that you can develop behind a veteran.
#12 Micah Johnson, ILB, Kentucky- His ceiling is very high. Very athletic, good blitzer, good in pass coverage, this guy can be a pretty good ILB at the NFL level.
#13 Jerome Murphy, CB, South Florida- Charles Tillman has been injury prone for the last 3 seasons. Time to develop another physical corner behind him.
#14 Sean Lee, ILB, Penn State- Might fall in the draft because of his recent ACL tear, but he's a very smart LB, has good instincts, and a bruising hitter.
#15 Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech- If you have Patience this guy can develop into a good starting WR. Georgia Tech offense was very run oriented, and they wide outs are not taught to run proper routes. Get him paired up with a good WR coach (whether Darryl Drake is that, is debatable) and he can blossom into a starting WR.

It is all relative to what predaft board you are looking at, but I’d prefer most of my guys over yours if they are still around… Sergio Render is good though
I like the Major Wright pick
I’ve seen a couple of places that have Woodall in the 7th or undrafted. Gerhart? Eh, I’d definitely rather go FS or OL in the 3rd.
Roll Tide... National Champs!!!
I definitely wouldn't mind having any of the three on the team though
Especially Wright or Woodall. I think TG is better suited for FB in the league.
Roll Tide... National Champs!!!
TG as FB/HB like Alstott, that's what I see
I agree that our many needs make a HB a bit of a reach in the 3rd, but I’d still be thrilled with the pick of TG. Ideally we’d move up (using just about anything but the pick in the 3rd) to draft a legit starter at FS (KAM CHANCELLOR, late 2nd early 3rd)….
100% agree
FS is our top priority IMO. I wish there was someway we could move up (picks, players, future mid-rounders) to get Mays or Thomas. Unfortunately, both are slotted for mid-late 1st rounders. Gerhart as an Alstott type? I’m diggin that.
Roll Tide... National Champs!!!
Chancellor will be gone in round 2

time will tell...
but at his size and skill set, if he has a good combine he’ll never last til the 3rd. Too many teams fall in love with measureables.

Or we could start a rumor
That he scored a 5 on his wonderlick test…

I was going off of Walterfootball.com predraft board.
I don’t like Kam Chancellor as much as other people do. He just seems to be more of a strong safety than a Free Safety. Jordan Shipley is most likely a 2nd rounder which is my reason for not putting him on my board. I like Dez Briscoe, and should put him over Damaryius Thomas.

Sounds perfect, we need more SSes on our roster! Or so the staff seem to believe…..

Do you guys thnk we should try and
trade up to the second rd if Arrileous Benn falls?
Draft a receiver ? Phhhhft.
Wait another 3 years hoping the guy develops as a receiver ? No thanks. Can’t wait. We need a big veteran receiver NOW. I can’t believe somebody suggested drafting a receiver. Free agency has plenty for us : V-Jack, Floyd, Marshall etc. but we’ll need to trade a player.
Trade up for Taylor mays – We need a future at FS. At 6’3 and 230lbs he’s built more like a Bears linebacker. If we can’t move up for him then sign Sharper ….
by Irish Bears Fan on Jan 21, 2010 9:08 PM CST up reply actions
eh...
if sharper hits free agency (he might finish up his career in NO) he’s too old. This year was an enigma for him IMO.
i’d love taylor mays, but we don’t have the firepower to go up for him. Vincent Jackson will be signed or franchised, Marshall won’t be available if the league goes uncapped. Floyd would be our only real possibility, and i don’t see him as very reliable.
plus, if we sign a FA WR, one of our guys has to sit. i’d much rather have the people who are playing now keep playing. They’re young, but the sky’s the limit for their potential.
Agreed that we don't have the firepower to go up for Mays
Would I be all for moving up to draft a good WR? I am pretty much all for moving up to draft ANY guy that fills a need on day 1. Realistically though when JA says he is happy with our nucleus (first I shake my head) I think he means he is happy with our receivers and there is no improvement forthcoming.
Why Mays?
I know he’s the big name, and is a great hitter, but in a cover-2 scheme you need safeties that can take half the field. Mays’ weakness is an absolute inability to cover. We don’t need that right now. We have bullocks
No way
watch film Mays takes horrible angles and gets lost! Great size and speed but he needs at leat 3 yrs to learn.
He's young
He may take horrible angles and get lost but who, at either safety position, on our team doesn’t? What he can do is jar the ball out 50% of the time w/ his size and strength. I’d take Mays all day over anybody we have and anybody we could get in the 3rd+ rounds.
Roll Tide... National Champs!!!
mays
should have come out last year. his stock has taken a little bit of a drop since his instincts aren’t that good. This year at USC has shown it mostly cause of the absence of those big 3 LB’s USC had.
I still think he’s really good. instincts are something that are a little hard to coach up though.
Freshamn QB hurt the entire team and the draft stock of any Trojan coming out this year
the talent is there though

Good idea, but where would we get so many Mr Potatohead dolls?

some people
were reporting that mays may be moved to a 4-3 outside lineback in the NFL on a team such as Seahawks or ect

Myron Lewis
He’s a solid player, but if we draft him we should just call ourselves the Vanderbilt Commodores and be done with it. If you’re going to stock yourself with one college team, at least have it be bama or texas or USC. At least they can win.
Bama
I love it!!! Saban’s coaching up some talent down here. Within the next two years, Alabama will be what USC and Miami WERE when it comes to first round picks. Only difference is, EVERY player will be a star in the league and not just some stud from a fancy system. Saban runs pro-style offense and defense. Players are held accountable for every assignment and check-off. He’s a dick, but he’s coaching his men up for the future, not just the present.
Roll Tide... National Champs!!!
This is one the about the bears that really bugs me
They think they are so creative that they out clever themselves. It seems obvious to me that a team would be more successful drafting from teams like Bama, Florida or Texas, but nonetheless we go after kids from Vande and love ourselves some good christian boys from Abilene… WTF. perennial national championship contenders are such because they have better players. For this upcoming draft Justin Woodall (S ’bama)is the guy that comes to mind as he starts in our secondary on day 1 and some mocks have him going in the 7th round, but i bet we draft some no name from nowhere instead.
Albeine has given us good stuff though

like who?
Daniel Manning? Yeah he’s awesome. ….. No.. he’s AVERAGE. He can’t play his intended position, and is primarily a nickle-back/part time kick returner
Makin' Copies
We already have Strong Safties up the Kazoo ...
We need a tough physical free safety like Taylor Mays, the guys slated to go above him are too small …

FS or bust

Steal Of The Draft.
Q.B. Dan LeFevour from Central Michigan. If this guy is available in the 5th Round I hope the Bears grab him. He could be Cutler’s back up for Years to come.
Denario Alexander
A tall wide receiver with TONS of playmaking ability. I’m not sure why he’s not a 2nd round option though
drafting Myron Lewis would fill two spots
1. FS and
2. the Bears’ annual Vanderbilt pick up
I always turn to the sports section first. The sports page records people's accomplishments; the front page has nothing but man's failures.
~Earl Warren
We shouldn't 'settle' for a safety ....
Another Vandy guy ? We’re already a joke in the NFL for the number of Vandy guys we have. Why should we settle for a third/fourth rounder to fill the safety position ? Either it’s Taylor Mays or nobody. If we can’t trade up, we trade for a good vet. Free safety isn’t a position for babies ….

I don’t think Demaryius Thomas falls to the 3rd or 4th round but if he were to I hope we snatch him up.
I’m representing the Bears over at Mocking the Draft for there 7 round mock and so far through 4 rounds the Bears have Jason Fox T Miami in round 3 and in round 4 we got Austen Lane DE Murray St.
McShay, Todd McShay you hear me boy? It's me TJ and I'm coming for your damn job boy! Oh be scared, be very scared McShay.
