All of a sudden my idea of letting the clock expire doesn't sound so bad, does it??

The first thing this shows me is that there's a good chance of a player failing to live up to expectations at any position, not just QB.

Only QBs are busts. Everyone else is an underachiever. Best not to ever draft a QB.

Exactly...this tells me the Bears should draft Leonard Fournette. Best Player Available. Dont reach on anyone. Hes going to be a absolute stud. Best prospect to come out since Adrian Peterson. If Jordan Howard gets injured, Bears have 0 run game. Howard & Fournette would give us the best Backfield in football and a identity. Grab Mahomes later or take a QB next year.

Pace has proven time and time again (literally, twice, two times) that he dominates round 2 and round 5. Trade all your picks for round 2 and 5 or Pace is an absolute idiot. Time and time again he has drafted studs in these rounds, why mess with perfect odds? If he has an ounce of a brain, and follows this perfect theory which ALWAYS works time and time again, then this year we will draft 8 Cody Whitehair, Eddie Goldman, Jordan Amos, and Adrian Amos's....
Get it done.

2 of those busts were due to Jacksonville's front office being completely Special person. Taking Fowler with Leonard Williams and Amari Cooper still on the board? Taking Bortles with Khalil Mack and Sammy Watkins still on the board? I thought those were idiotic picks at the time.

Whoops.. that should say Jordan Howard.. I did not mean to imply Amos and Howard tied the knot, but anything is possible.

I think we should just forgo the entire draft. Way to much risk involved.

F it, let's draft Watson, Adams and Fournette. Trade all of our picks this year and next.

Bortles is not a bust at all. Not yet at least.

So Dante Fowler has literally played one season and you already consider him a bust?

Seeing Adams on that list brought back disturbing memories.

Another disturbing thought.... our playoff drought would be even longer if Adams hadn't died ...not that I'm happy he did...It was tragic.
But without his death, we never go get Juilius Peppers a few weeks later, and surely don't make the playoffs in 2010 without Peppers.
So we'd be talking about a drought going back to the Super Bowl season.
Ugh.
We suck.

We certainly probably do go after Peppers. Who were our DEs at the time? An old Brown and Ogun? Izzy who they made gain and lose weight depending on which way the wind was blowing? A first round bust who JA waaaaay overpaid for?
Not exactly a whose who of pass rushers.

When you look at our overall bust rate in the 1st, the position picked and position in the round really does not matter.
2016 – Floyd
2015 – White (* - tbd)
2014 – Fuller (*)
2013 – Long
2012 – McClellin (*)
2011 – Carimi (*)
2008 – Williams (*)
2007 – Ohlsen
2006 – Benson (*)
* = bust (White fans, don't get your undies in a bundle)
