What does that asking price mean for #Texans? They are aiming high. And that’s how good they think Clowney is, that’s what he’s worth.

If the Texans select Mack , that will make two straight years that the first overall pick comes from the MAC

11:18 a.m. ET - Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports three NFL people that he really trusts said the NFL is giving serious consideration to scheduling the draft a week or two later in 2015

More from @BradBiggs. Bears have NFL-low nine players on roster whom they drafted pre-2013. Yikes. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...s-nfl-draft-spt-0508-20140508,0,5656499.story

Trib mock for Rd. 1? @BradBiggs has #Bears selecting an enforcer safety. I'm in agreement (if Donald is gone.) http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...k-nfl-draft-spt-0508-20140508,0,1000087.story

Phil Emery said last wk he's considering 6 players at No. 14 in tonight's draft. @Rich_Campbell offers his six: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...-draft-spt-0508-20140508,0,1573514,full.story

#Bears GM Emery likes to embrace the obscure in draft but if Donald's still on the board, it's a no-brainer. Column http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...draft-haugh-spt-0508-20140508,0,629579.column

Greg Gabriel ‏@greggabe 2m
Hearing Watkins or Evans to Cleveland, same to Raiders with Donald as Raiders fallback guy

Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 54s

The waiting and over-analysis tends to make it anticlimactic for me. The extra two weeks this year just way exceeded my attention span. I'm sure tomorrow I'll be interested again, though.

Per Bob McGinn's final mock yesterday. (For what it's worth Bob has the highest success rate at mocks over the last 3 years within the media)


14. SAN FRANCISCO (from Chicago): Odell Beckham, WR, Louisiana State

Projected trade in which the 49ers, with six of the top 100 picks, deal several to the Bears after Aaron Donald, the Bears' obvious target, was taken early. 49ers GM Trent Baalke wants Beckham, possibly the best deep threat in the draft, to augment Anquan Boldin. Michael Crabtree will be entering the final year of his contract.


29. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville

The Patriots have no voids in their lineup. Bill Belichick has been grab-bagging too long in the back end.


30. CHICAGO BEARS (from San Francisco): Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama

Projected trade finds GM Phil Emery acquiring a player he probably would have entertained at No. 14. The Bears' last top-notch safety was Mike Brown.



32. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: Ra'Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota

Coach Pete Carroll loves to get after the quarterback. He also has gambled many times in the past on players with character flaws.

What else is there before TC? A little free agency, but like most, 12 months of football isn't enough for me.

#Bears hold following picks: Rd 1 (14 overall), Rd 2 (51), Rd 3 (82), Rd 4 (117), Rd 5 (156), Rd 6 From Bucs (183), Rd 6 (191).

Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 10m
#Bears have drafted more players from Notre Dame (41) than any other school. Ohio St (30), Texas (27), Oklahoma (26), Stanford (24), NU (21)

John Clayton ‏@ClaytonESPN 34m
Still do not believe the Browns will take Johnny Manzel or a QB with the fourth pick in the draft. They can get a QB at 26 if they wish.

If Dix fell to us after a trade, that would be awesome.

There should be options. It's tough for me to feel confident in any prediction, which is really how you should feel. There's a number of quality DBs and DTs.

Purdue DT Bruce Gaston (St. Rita grad) is on #Bears mid-round radar, called back for visit after local pro day: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/2730...rs-in-middle-to-late-rounds.html#.U2uJgKJ8Hdg

"DT Bruce Gaston is viable option for Bears in middle to late rounds

BY ADAM L. JAHNS Staff Reporter May 7, 2014 11:13PM

Updated: May 8, 2014 2:27AM

Like other local NFL hopefuls, Purdue defensive tackle Bruce Gaston left Halas Hall feeling confident about his performance at the Bears’ local pro day last month.

“It went really well,” the St. Rita graduate said. “I think I made a good impression.”

That Gaston did. The Bears called Gaston back after the local pro day. He returned to Halas Hall to go over his Purdue film with defensive line coach Paul Pasqualoni and assistant Clint Hurtt, answering questions about his assignments and thought processes on certain plays.

“It felt a little more in depth,” Gaston said."

Texans will trade down. Count on it.
