Did Hub's sources confirm this mock?

Ego isn't built to take on OTs because he lacks length. Same with Ratliff, but his body probably can't hold up as a 2 gap NT at this point. And Sutton just isn't a fit anywhere. Strange as it sound, if Cornelius Washington could get up to 280-285 he'd be the best physical profile for 5 tech with his 34" arms. So, minus the draft, we might be looking at a DL of:
Base
LE - Ratliff
NT - Ferguson

I think Ratliff and Ego can cover the NT position. What we don't have are legit 5 tech DEs. If they trade back in the first I hope it's for Armstead.

I'm not as worried about the outside where Cornwash would be playing as i am about the inside of the line. We have Ego and Sutton who are both rookies and neither showed much last year and we have Ratliff who when healthy is great but he's older and gets injured. We need to find some fatty boyz.

Just realized the draft isn't until April 30th. It's March 13th.

I have Sutton at the 3 and Ferguson at the nose. The jury is still out on Ratliff because I like him better at the 3 but can play at nose. I think Houston will move to the 5.

I can't stomach the idea of a first round wide receiver.

How about a Center in the 3rd. It's such a glaring need. Not RB.

Sutton will be situational at best....depends how often the use 4 down lineman.
They have Ratliff at 3-4 DE

Cooper and White are both nice prospects, but with the Bears QB situation heading back to flux, and them moving to a more conservative offense, and the historical badness of rookie wide receivers I would feel better if they drafted a lineman or
linebacker.

Cobb can ball. If he makes it to the 3rd, I would take him too. Minnesota had no threat of a pass and he always produced big numbers in the big ten. Very impressive.

I love receivers, have my whole life. And I'd be thrilled with either of those two.
But you're right, recent history shows you don't need stud #1s to win the SB. Patriots, Seahawks, Ravens, Packers, etc.

The only way this regime can even begin to reinstill the slightest faith is by drafting a QB in the first 3 rounds.

Just because it is a 3-4 doesn't mean you only have 3 DLmen on the entire team.

I just believe that White or Cooper are better than the d talent that will be on the board at 7. If Pace follows what he said of taking the best player then there is a good chance he will draft receiver in round 1.

I like that Nate Orchard pick. He played defensive end in college but he had almost 20 sacks last season.

I really hope there are not people that think that.
