WCG 6 Round Chicago Bears Mock Draft

but the rest of this draft i would be very dissapointed in

I’m quite happy with Hanie, and for the #3 I think the Bears could find a young free agent or two to compete for the clipboard holding job.

Everything else would be ok, I’m not high on Solder, but if he’s there that would be the pick to make, then you hope Tice can make him legit.

Especially with the McClain and Pettis selections.

Now I understand that Sherrod may already be off the board by this time so Solder is an understandable option. However, someone that I feel is really rising up on the draft boards as well as perhaps a better all-round option would be Marcus Cannon, G/T from TCU. He is huge and one mean SOB yet extreamly mobile, an all round ideal fit as both what Mike Tice is wanting and for what Mike Martz is implementing in Chicago. He could drop some weight and become an extra large Tackle, or retain the weight and become a star at LG, our largest weakness on the O-Line.

Back to McClain, he really has caught my attention as he truly is a 3 tech that would fit beautifully in the Tampa 2. Good size (6-3, 305), powerful, and extreamly fast off the ball, all crucial elements for a Tampa 2 style 4-3 3 tech DT.

Moffitt is a good player as well as prospect to groom under Kreutz, yet if you feel we need to drafta tackle then Orlando Franklin from the U would be a great pick

Austin Pettis would be a steal if we get to draft him in the 4th round. We have all the speed in the world already with Knox and Hester, he would be a good complimentory WR to line up outside if we can not obtain a differance maker in FA.

Lutrus is a decent prospect, and is a good fit as a special teams guy.

Not a big fan of Enderle, he has okay accuracy but is weak armed and very errotic in his decision making skills, gets rattled way too easily.

So, with all that now said, I shall now offer my mock draft:

1st round- Marcus Cannon, O-Lineman TCU

2nd round- Terrell McClain, DT USF

3rd round- Orlando Franklin, OT the U or Justin Moffitt, O-Lineman Winsconsin

4th round- Austin Pettis, WR Boise State

5th round- Scott Lutrus, ILB UConn

6th round- T.J. Yates, QB NCU

I don’t know about the rest of you but the draft can’t come too soon for me. Can’t wait to start worring about the picks they actually take and wanting the CBA to get settled and F/A gets started so that I can start worring about about the needs the Bears we not able to address. In other words I just want something else to worry about right now.

there’s little chance a whole draft goes by without JA selecting a defensive back. Just don’t see it.

but Tice would love to get arguably the most talented OT in the draft.

I do have serious doubts about Solder at the NFL level, but it’s a good pick if he’s available. I really like Moffit as the center of the future and Pettis is solid if unspectacular. I’d rather the Bears get a CB in this draft because the FA market is so iffy when it comes to DBs.

he’s got bust written all over him. Good coaches can fix many things, but not the desire to play. Even Marinelli cannot take an unmotivated kid and make him motivated. He (and others) can only take motivated kids and make them more motivated. Coaches can fix all sorts of technical, physical, and mental issues, but lacking the intrinsic motivation to play the game is, IMO, not fixable/coachable. The big knocks on McClain tend to center around his basic motivation and his “excess” body weight; which speaks to his personal motivation to be physically ready to play. The only positive for him is that he’s an actual DT and not some DE conversion project that’s destined to fail!

How about this? Bears trade their 29th pick (640 pts.) for the Bengals 2nd (540 pts.) and 4th (100 pts.)?
Cincy can than definitely get the QB they need with good draft value and Bears shouldn’t have a problem addressing the OL with these 2 extra picks. Then we can use our original 2nd and 3rd round picks to address DT and CB.

I like all of your picks. except for the 6th round pick Enderle. I don’t get the point of using a draft pick on a quarter back when Cutler is a clear, good starter, and a decent back-up Hanie. There are too many needs on the team to draft a player to have warm the bench for years to come.
With the picks you have listed, I like the pick of Byron Maxwell, CB from Clemson, in the 6th round.
He is a bigger corner, at 6’-1" 235 pounds. He ran a 4.43 40 and benched 24 reps, which is quite strong for a corner. He’s a strong, wrap up tackler. He’s a very good zone coverage corner, and has an excellent knack for stripping the ball (t-1st on team with 3) and has the ability to contribute on special teams, leading Clemson with 21 special teams tackles.
I think he can come and battle for the cornerback position opposite of Tillman. But he’ll at least make an impact on special teams, which is a plus since there’s a possibility bears may lose quite a few effective special team players to free agency this year, such as Garrett Wolfe, Rod Wilson, Rashied Davis, and especially Corey Graham (They are all unrestricted free agents).
He seems like a good fit for the Bears.
