I'm noticing a definite lean... 63% defensive players.

i like this list... alot. seems theyve done their homework.

No Michael Floyd. Bears must have a pretty good indication that he won't be available at #19. Also... Whitney Mercilus has had a private workout and visit. It would seem he's their target for their first pick. I like him, but his lack of tape and consistency kind of scares me away. I'd like a safer bet with our first selection.

Is that important? Haven't not been sure the last few years.

Love seeing these guys on the list:

Donta Hightower
Melvin Ingram
Whitney Mercilus
Alshonn Jeffery
Reuben Randle (I'd almost rather go defense in the first round over Jeffery, then take Randle in the 2nd)
Chandler Jones

Hate seeing this guy on the list:

Kendall Wright

Want to see this guy on the list:

Dre Kirkpatrick

Kendall Wright sucks

Fixed that for you.

5'10'' "Speed" receiver who runs a 4.61 40-yard dash? I'll pass.

I agree. Emery is coming up to his biggest challenge. After the slew of laughable 1st rounders by Angelo....he really needs to hit a homerun with this year's first pick. I would be looking at a safer pick as well.
