Footballs back.
I like that Fuller is taking 23
That number means something to this city. Hope he lives up to it.

Gotta good feeling about ego
If the OTA videos are anything to go by, Fuller is not lacking in confidence. He showed no fear of Marshall and Alshon one on one. And to bastardize an Eddie Murphy quote "The next thing you know... Kyle is covering your receivers. Well."Takes big kahonas to wear 23 in Chicago no matter the sport. Now lets hope he's a part of 6 titles lol
Ferguson looks like he's been in the league for 10 years.
I have warmed up to Ego myself.A NT is never a sexy pick in the second but a highly athletic NT who is stout against run and has potential to disrupt passer eventually could be a real good thing for the Bears.

I don't know. He came from a defense that averaged giving up a 143 yards vs the run last season. The prior season before Bennie Logan left they only gave up 101 yard average per game vs the run. I still think Logan has been the only DT worth a squat out of LSU the past couple of years. I keep looking at LSU game tape from 2012 & 2013 & I just don't see the big deal with this kid as a 4-3 shade DT from a system at LSU that's similar to what the Bears run. I think he played like a cupcake at LSU.
While I hope you're wrong, kudos to you for going back and watching your tape yourself and coming up with your own evaluation. Unfortunately I've not done that so I'm in no position to disagree; I will be getting my first look at him when the season starts.
The Fuller pick is the one warming up to. At first I was a little down & out, but he is a good DB. I'm hoping having him will eventually lead to tight coverage, & allow the Bears to bring some extra pressure on the QB. The Ferguson pick baffles me, but still at the end of the day it's just an opinion that doesn't hold anymore weight than anyone else's on here.
Unfortunately, I think that since there was so much second guessing and hand-wringing in the media after the pick about it being a reach and all that combined with the fact that NT don't typically fill up the stat sheet you are constantly going to have people saying "we could have had him later in the draft!" and stupid things that. Not that it matters if he is producing like a NT should so here's hoping that's the case!
