This is my preferred approach--trade down to 13-15 range for a 2nd and pray that Turner or Verse are there. Not a fan of DT for the Bears this draft. I think everyone is writing off Dexter way too fast.
I didn't do a trade down for this exercise, thought.
I do not want to draft a DT in the first this draft. We drafted two top-70 DTs last year. They need to be allowed to develop; same as you said about Turner.
Dexter got better as the year went on. He seems to be right in line with other DTs rookie production. Let him continue to develop, along...
Every prospect has question marks and uncertainty. I'm old enough to remember when Kyle Pitts was getting fitted for a gold jacket before he even played a down. Now look at him.
Is an OT or Bowers that much safer than Turner? It's not like Turner doesn't have the necessary production.
I think VJJ is a lost cause. Maybe he can carve out a niche as a return man with these news rules and RB similar to Cordarrell Patteson, but I think relying on him as WR would be a mistake.
I tried to keep it realistic as well. I'm a big fan of Ricky Pearsall but I think he goes in the 2nd. Walker has a good chance of being there in the third.
I like the guard out of TCU, Brandon Coleman as well, but I hear he's been getting buzz and may not last until the fourth. Zinter and...
Last year I reached mock draft nirvana after hundreds of mocks and mocked 3 of our first 4 picks correctly.
This year, I have run just as many mocks as @IBleedBearsBlood, but I just haven't posted them all. Now that it's draft week I figured I'd post my official final mock, as if you all give a...
For me it's multiple players:
Byron Murphy/Johnny Newton-We just drafted two DTs last year top 75. Give them time to develop.
Joe Alt-Braxton Jones is good. Top 12-15ish on the low end. Not a hole.
Brock Bowers-I can't get jiggy with a TE top 10, and I'm a guy who thinks the TE is a QB's best...
