The Bears Den-2010 Draft Day 2 Edition

Bears may have to look beyond safety in NFL draft - Because they need to fix other stuff too. Weird how the draft works.
Michael Wright and Jeff Dickerson provide 10 things for Chicago Bears fans to watch in the draft - A list of the general touchstones the Bears need to get to over the next two days.
Pickin', not grinnin' - Mr. Mike Mulligan talks about how history is against the Bears with regards to their draft choices. He also says that if Major Wright is there, that's the pick. Otherwise, they like Darrell Stuckey or Kam Chancellor. Y'know, that guy who seems to be pretty polarizing at this site.
As Bill Cosby would say...Follow the WCG on the Twitter and eat your pudding pops with the pudding pops. *wacky face*
NFL Draft at Draft Board Insider - Chicago Bears - News & Info - Here's another draft board for tracking the Bears.
Broncos gamble risk will be worth reward with Tebow - Smudgers asked me last night "Do all Florida quarterbacks look like Rex Grossman and Tim Tebow?" I just said yes, because I didn't want to look up more Florida quarterbacks. That said, this guy is convinced that First Round Tebow will pay off for the Broncos, unless...
Broncos' McDaniels can kiss job goodbye with Tebow pick - ...it happens this way, instead.
With Graham in nest, Birds get two more picks today - The Bears actually helped the Eagles make this decision, with their failed pursuit of Peppers and Kampman playing a large part in why they had to draft DE early.
And finally, just in case we do get him today, here's Major Wright straight flattening a dude:

Mort on ESPN radio
stated that brady quinn not kyle orton will be the QB of denver next year…..
Mentioned that it is bizarre that they drafted tebow with quinn being targeted as the guy by mcd during the offseason….
tebow will most likely only be used for gimmick plays in 10 and will be groomed for at least 2 seasons before seeing any real time….
said det is turning the team around with the picks they have made lately (suh and best last night) that they may improve greatly next season (not playoffs but 7 maybe 8 wins)….

I still think that McDaniels is ripping that team apart and dragging them to hell.

Kam Chancellor
Strengths
Chancellor has outstanding size for the safety position. Plays with great strength and has the toughness needed to consistently help up in the box in run support. Has been a highly productive player. Durability is not a concern. Exhibits a really impressive motor, refuses to be blocked and plays hard through the whistle.
Weaknesses
Chancellor can play over aggressive at times, take poor angles and is susceptible to play fakes. Taller player who could improve his pad level. Needs to be lower in his back peddle. Is more comfortable in the box and doesn’t possess the coverage skills, ball skills and instincts to be consistently relied upon against the pass.

i know...
I just don’t want to get stuck taking a player of lesser value because we need a fs and pass up a player that we could still use and is a better player than the fs’s still there. It is not the end of the season if we don’t get a stud fs as long as we get a stud with that pick. No matter what posistion he plays.
by Ryan21 on Apr 23, 2010 10:09 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions
No please
Don’t want him, and I’m surprised the Bears are interested in him. Is it that difficult to find someone that can turn, run, cover, and not bite on play-fakes? Jeebus..

Major Wright
Strengths
Wright is a nice combination of size and strength at the safety position. Plays with toughness. Is a productive, smart player. Very instinctive coming up quickly in run support. Has been a durable performer. Is a good tackler who can come up and really lay the wood.
Weaknesses
He only has average coverage skills, shouldn’t be relied upon to often in man, and may struggle to contain receivers over the middle or athletic tight ends. Doesn’t have the agility in space to consistently break down and wrap up. Is inconsistent with his block protection.

Darrell Stuckey
Strengths
Stuckey is a good combination of strength and athleticism for the safety position. Displays good range in zone coverage and coming up against the run. Has been productive in his career, especially as a senior. Is an instinctive, tough competitor who isn’t afraid to stick his nose in on run support. Was durable during his time in college.
Weaknesses
Stuckey lacks ideal height for the position. Can struggle defending against taller receivers due to his height and average ball skills. Only possesses average catch up speed and can be beaten deep over the top.
Associate Writer - WindyCityGridiron.com
sounds like we need to make that trade with the pat's to move up...
And get a safety with good ball skills. Payne and Afalava can already lay the wood.

Adrian Pedestrian!! Now that's funny Mr. Bayless...
i think thats their best move...
Then we can draft the best player avaliable at any posistion. WR, DB, G, S, even a RB. If Forte doesn’t improve we will need a RB. We need to draft a playmaker with that pick.

If they draft
Wright I’m going to flip a table over. When will they realize that strong safeties don’t magically become free safeties just because they want them to.
They need to do what it takes to get Nate Allen. He is EXACTLY what they need. He is a leader on defense, a true center fielder, an athlete, etc. Do what it takes—give up Greg Olsen and a pick. Whatever. Just get him.
DEJESUS!!!
No thanks.
Don’t give up Greg Olsen for a rookie FS…
If we’re going to get into the business of giving up more than we should for a player, I’d much rather us just give up our 4th round pick, and a big chunk of cash to get Atogwe. That has the benefit of not weakening a point of the strength for the team.

is definitely better than no coverage skills…I’d be okay with Wright (definitely not ecstatic). I still think we’ll make a play for Atogwe…the Bears have definitely been building up to it by saving money and cutting Pace, Vasher, and Alex Brown.

according to this...
http://www.draftcountdown.com/ScoutingReports/S/Major-Wright.php
..he’s more of a strong safety in the NFL. A lot about the big hits and playing the run, but has stiff hips and struggles in coverage. Sounds like guys we already have on our roster.
DEJESUS!!!
Mitch Petrus
Strengths
Petrus shows some impressive initial quickness firing off the ball and getting back into his pass protection set. Has the straight line speed, balance and body control and foot agility necessary to pull and lead out on the perimeter and block at the second level. Is a good knee bender.
Weaknesses
Does not possesses the power we’d like to see. Lacks the run blocking strength to blow defenders off the ball. Needs to improve his feel for angles and blocking schemes which could come with more experience. His hand use could use some refinement.
LOL45BenchReps, which means his strength issue is part of his technique issue, which should definitely be fixable, and fairly quickly.

So Sklz711
does this guy seem like a better pick than Kam or Wright?
by MetalGearPeaceWalker on Apr 23, 2010 11:15 AM CDT up reply actions
Personally...
I think he’s a better pick, and I think if we can get Petrus in the third he’d be the steal of the draft, about two years removed.
http://www.mockingthedraft.com/2010/4/11/1414606/mitch-petrus-nfl-draft-scouting
From our friends over at MTD.
Here is the big question when it comes to Petrus, it’s not if he’s going to be one of the best guards in the draft, it’s when. To give my thoughts on the guy would basically boil down to this. Asamoah is basically already near his first peak, any gains he has are going to be incremental at best, and non-existance at worse. That doesn’t make him a bad guard, it makes him serviceable, on a 1-20 scale, with Beekman as a 10, and Omiyale as a 7-12 depending on what part of the year you’re talking about I’d say Asamoah is coming in as a 12, and will likely hover around a 13 his entire career. Petrus is going to come in as a 8 or 9, and should be up to a 10 or 11 by the beginining of the season. The difference is, if Petrus plays the whole year, it’s not out of the question that he ends up as a 13 by the end fo the year, and a 15 by the start of the 2011 season. If he “redshirts” a good portion with Beekman or Louis or whoever getting the nod, he’s not going to advance as fast, probably looking at a 12 by the end of the season, and a 14 by the start of the next one.
Either way, Petrus is going to be a better guard than Asamoah before the start of the 2011 season, and if we were getting Asamoah in the third people would be cheering. My personal draft would likely be Petrus in the Third, and Myron Lewis or Alterraun Verner in the 4th.

I like Petrus
he’s very athletic… and taking him at 3 would be ok with me, but if things fall just right they could trade down a bit and get him later and pick up an extra pick… It all depends how many guards are still on the board and if they want to chance him going before their pick comes around

Think JA's gonna have to pick a strategy
Either go FS draft or after draft FA
Then use the strategy to either trade up and get Allen or Burnett or just go OL in 3rd and pick a serviceable FS or SS project (puke) to convert in later rounds.
Bears shopping LBs ?
Be nice to get another pick though I can not see them grabbing anything higher than a 4th IMO…..

Hell put him at SS and let Manning play FS or get Otogwe and move Manning to nickelback….I may be a lil Biased being an SC fan but i think Mays will be a beast on the right team
Teammates.....What a unique concept
Absolutely
This is the only scenario where I would like them to take a SS. Then they could get Johnson or someone similar in the 5th, after taking a guard in the 4th.

exactly
For some reason i think the Bears will make a trade with the Patriots to move into the 2nd round…If they can do that without giving up their 3rd this year we will be in perfect position to get 2 starters and take the “best available player” with any other picks..
Teammates.....What a unique concept
My concern
is I do not trust Lovie or Jerry in doing this….IF Mays falls to them I think they draft him they will draft him with the intent of making him a FS…..Just my guess on it….

Yes, that's always a concern.
Hopefully, they’ve learned their lesson with the drafting of Payne and AA.
