Mocking the Mocks: Who they think the Chicago Bears will take

I’d take Floyd

because to me he just seems like more of what we have…I want at least one more WR over the 6 foot threshold…now, if we sign a guy in FA, then wright would be okay

Yeah, that’ll put some lube on all sorts of weird draft slides.

I can go for either. I could go for Sanu. I really don’t care. I’ve watched all of them and could say that without a doubt, they can contribute.

RT @ChicagoBearscom: LM: #Bears have hired Tim Holt as offensive line coach. Holt spent last 3 years with Tampa Bay Bucs.

That’s my pick, but that’s with the assumption of WR being thoroughly addressed in FA. If not, Floyd would be a great pick. And the more I read about Wright the more I like. With the WR’s, it’ll be interesting to see the combine/ 40 times and how it changes their draft stock.

In saying that, I don’t think Kendall Wright would be as good of a fit as Michael Floyd would be. I like his speed and big play ability, but, I have a feeling it may be neutralized oncehe plays against bigger and stronger DBs in the NFL. Johnny Knox may be out for the year, but if anything we already have our speedster in Devin Hester. What we need is a large, powerful receiver who can go up and get it in what Emery himself called a “Big man’s sport”, and I just feel Wright isn’t that player.

But Wright does have some toughness to his game over the middle. And his deep speed is made even more dangerous with his ball-tracking and playmaking abilities. I like Floyd better. But as a compliment to a WR like V-Jack/Colston, Wright would be an awesome target with Cutler’s arm strength.

scratch REW,Hester,Hurd, and Sanzendropper.

addressed to no one in particular:
I know you luv you some Sanzendropper but you are fickle and will forget all about him when the new crop of UDFA’s hit training camp.

then Wright makes ALOT of sense. Im not buying he’s what we already have argument. Hes better comin out of college than Knox. His ceiling is starting higher and seems to have a better open field impact on the game. Im thinking Hester like with natural Wr experience and huge upside. hes a playmaker amd thas what wr need

as there are terrible ones over 6ft tall. If you’re going to knock him, knock that he played with an extremely accurate QB in college. Against the best defenses Baylor played, he usually got around 6-9 catches, 70-200 yards, and at least 1 TD. He breaks tackles as well or better than Floyd and has never been arrested for drunk driving. I wouldn’t be upset if da Bears got Floyd, but Wright seems like a safer pick. Kid could be the next Steve Smith.

With this draft being so loaded with big (6’1"+) receivers like it is and relatively short on speedsters like Wright it makes a lot of sense. Like I said above if we really want a tall WR guys like Criner, McNutt, Robinson and Quick to name a few should be available in the mid rounds.

Also, to say that Wright is the same as what we already have is a wild exaggeration. There is no receiver on the roster that posses his blend of speed, elusiveness, hands, route running and big play ability. Johhny Knox might be the closest, but he is terribly inconsistent and is an unknown health wise at this point. To even compare him to Devin Hester is a joke. Devin is a part time receiver at best and the only similarities between him and Wright is there size and gamebreaking ability. That’s a worse comparison then Micheal Floyd to David Terrel, lol ;)

I know everyone is saying get a big WR and a smaller one, but how about if we get two 6’2 plus receivers. Maybe Bowe and Floyd on the outside and have Knox and Bennett as complements. Keep Sanzenbacher as a special teamer or replace him with another one and leave Hester to the kick returning.

It’s really difficult to determine who will be the better pro, but one thing is for sure. It won’t come down to their statures.

I have a feeling that Wright will blow it out of the water at the combine, and secure a spot in the top-15. Just my feeling cause speedsters with other skills will command attention over bigger, more physical WRs.

Big as hell with huge hands and decent speed. Catches passes like rebounds. We can probably get him in the 2nd… but I won’t be surprised if he climes draft boards after the measurables at the combine…

combine in 15 days, free agency in 34, draft in 78…

…there’s way too much that’s going to happen between now and the draft. I suppose if we get no prime WRs in FA we HAVE to get one early. All things being equal, though, using the two mocks above and just choosing off of talent/potential/fit/need with no FA to speak of… my preferences would be:

Rang Mock – Floyd, Ingram, Adams, Jenkins, Mercilus would be my top 5 available.

Brugler Mock – Floyd, Adams, Wright, Mercilus, Allen would be my top 5 available.
