Adams at #3, Watson at #36

[Les Grossman]

unlikely but he might drop to the 20's at which time the Bears do have ammo to move back up and get him if they want him.

And I would be cool with that, but I'd be pissed at passing on him earlier until he was actually drafted by the Bears.

[3] Adams
[36] Kizer

I'd be OK with that.

Would be ok, but I'd much rather have

[3] Watson
[36] Melifonwu/Maye/Jones

If that happens I will be first to give pace props

 

[TL1961]

I dont see this happening...someone would take Watson. If anything, maybe Pace trades back into the 1st round for Watson

This is actually my biggest gripe with the new setup. If a guy like Watson falls out of the first, every team has time to contact Cleveland about a trade, whereas a few years ago, there wasn't much time. A trade back into the first will almost certainly be necessary.

If Watson was to fall, and we get him with our second pick (plus) instead of #3, that would be ideal.

 

[TL1961]

Well if teams know that Pace wants Watson he will not be a Bear. Someone will pick him in the top 20 out of panic.

A team that was going to pass on him, will take him because they see the Bears taking him in the 20's?

So this team had thought he'd be aroundfor their second, and learned others might be interested?

I think if you want Watson, but not at 3, you have to trade up into the top 20. Depending on cost I'd be in favor of doing such.

 

[DC]

Can you imagine how many teams are hoping for the same scenario? I bet there's about six. Going to be some drama tomorrow night.

 

[Big Tyme D]

You do realize all this draft talk is nothing but a high stakes poker game, right?

Of course.... and thats why all things are on the table... regardless of how probable or inprobable. Every draft has it's share of surprises and drama.... all you can do is hope that a few surprises turn out good for your team.

Of course, but it looks like it's not happening. Still hoping, especially if we manage to trade down.

It's going to be pretty exciting compared to previous years I think.

 

[PeterMbangala]

well duh. top 3 pick. duh

Not just talking about us. The top ten generally is a lot harder to predict I think.

But thanks for your input.

 

[Big Tyme D]

well duh. top 3 pick. duh

But not only that... this year even the #1 pick is still a mystery. It 'should' be Garrett.... but will it? And after that... it just gets murkier. Haven't been so many potential top 10 players in years.

 

[MrOuija]

You want to trade up into the high 20's, be prepared to give up next years 2 and probably more. Don't like it.

 

[Madden]

Mahomes is more likely to drop to #36 but even that is a stretch. Adams and Mahomes would be good with me. We've ignored spending high picks on these 2 positions for YEARS and look where it's gotten us.

 

[Starion]

Adams
+
Kizer

...would be great! More realistic


Teams have historically reached for FAR lesser QB prospects than Watson.

While his measurables aren't world-beating, there will very likely be a team if not several who will clamor simply for his leadership and winning makeup.

I wouldn't mind him in the 2nd, and perhaps that's where he actually grades out, maybe lower? Surely a few owners will want him, and some GMs will too or at least cater to the owner to keep their jobs. Not all front offices have self-control or even have their heads on straight.

 

[WCL]

Even if he was guaranteed to reach 36, they'd still be better off trading back into the first due to the fifth-year option.

 

[Toast88]

The Vegas over-under on Watson is #12, so it doesn't seem likely he'll be there late in the first.

 

[Mdbearz]

Yeah ok keep smoking that medical marijuana


I still wouldn't take Adams. I would take Allen or Thomas if this pipe dream was anywhere close to a reality

So you think Demps is the answer to our secondary? Allen is a very good prospect but he is a down lineman, and Thomas is a good pass rusher (good value at 3), well hell I might have just talked myself out of the argument...Carry on.

But seriously, Adams seems like the safest pick, at a huge area of need. I would not be upset with any of the three, even though I want Fournette.

Interesting point... I hadn't considered this, but you're 100% right. Goodell has messed up everything, including the draft. I remember back in the days when the draft was a nerd thing that only us nerds got into. The TV coverage was great, Mel Kiper talking about every single pick and showing highlights rather than fluff side stories by Suzy Kolber...

After watching some tape on Adams, he reminds me of the Bear's Chris Harris. I wouldn't draft Chris Harris #3 overall. Hooker is allergic to contact.
