Bears are scheduled to host Louisville's DeVante Parker early this week, continuing due diligence on top WRs. They might draft one. Or not.

Todd Gurley - RB - Bulldogs
NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah thinks the Vikings could take Georgia RB Todd Gurley in Round 1 if they trade Adrian Peterson prior to the draft.
"If you lose a running back, I'm going to go ahead and replace him with a running back in Todd Gurley," Jeremiah said. "He is a special talent and one of the best running backs we've seen come into the league in quite some time. I'd take him right here at No. 11 and plug him in to watch him and Teddy Bridgewater grow on offense together as the future of this football team." Jeremiah ranks Gurley No. 12 player overall, right around the Vikings' No. 11 pick. Jeremiah sees Minnesota drafting offense in that slot even if they don't take a runner. "DeVante Parker and you are making high fives with that selection," he said. "Reunites him with Teddy Bridgewater and you saw how effective they were together (at Louisville)."

Does anyone have any comments on any of these sleeper picks like the Georgia QB Hutson Mason??

Meh. Huston Mason, I believe, was pretty highly recruited and he only got to play 1 year due to Aaron Murray. But he didn't show much this past season. Very very developmental player. UDFA and not even a priority type UDFA.

Ekpre Olomu isn't really a sleeper, he's more of a steal waiting to happen. He's a 1st round talent IMO. Was my favorite CB in 2013, but didn't come out. Struggled against bigger WRs when he was healthy this year, but he's a guy that's going to follow fast WRs around the field and really compete. His tape vs Cooks was excellent in 2013.

Zenner is a really good player. Underrated runner. I'd really like him.

Titus Davis is going to get compared to Antonio Brown due to his school and stats he put up. But he's not really draftable. Not special in any area and has tiny hands for a 6'2 WR.

Could easily end up being the best WR in this class when all is said and done.

Yeah Ekpre Olomu would of been a 1st round pick if not for the injury for sure so if someone gets this kid in the 3rd round it will be a steal even with the injury.

Owamagbe Odighizuwa - DL - Bruins
UCLA edge rusher Owamagbe Odighizuwa "is very similar to [MSU's Preston] Smith in that he is a strong run defender who could play either left defensive end in a 4-3 front or 5-technique in a 3-4 defense," writes ESPN's Todd McShay.
McShay ranks Owa No. 52 overall, ahead of the more heralded Mario Edwards Jr. of Florida State (62). We've been higher on Odighizuwa throughout the process and remain so. You simply don't see many prospects who can covert speed to power in this way, and, as a bonus, can play in both even and odd man fronts. We aren't privy to all the NFL's medical information, but you can bet teams will quadruple-check Owa's hip before pulling the trigger.

NO WAY that Owa guy......... ARe you kidding me? Imagine how many tries it would take the Clubhouse guy to get the spelling of that name right on his locker and his jerseys?? You've gotta think these kind of things through carefully, fellows

At least two of those things really isn't breaking news. It's been a long time since I've seen anyone have Dawson as their #1 ILB taken in the draft, and Kevin Johnson also regularly goes ahead of Collins in mocks.

Morse's stock being on the rise was also pretty well known, even though I didn't know that he was "shooting up boards".

I agree.

Williams
Cooper
White

That's what I want, one of them.

I would add Beasley to that list, but I agree.

WindyCity · Apr 21, 2015

Everyone needs to prepare themselves that Cooper or White will be easily the BPA when the Bears are on the clock.

Who knows if they pick them.

I've prepped myself for a thousand scenarios. I just dont want a "What the fuck....." scenario.

I'll bet Dupree is in that mix. I heard weeks ago on Jim Miller's XM show that the Saints are high on him. I doubt the apple falls far from the tree.

Dawson still looks like that will be a good pick for whichever team lands him. The 40 time affected him but he shows up faster on tape.
