2017 NFL Draft Thread

So you give me some source called walterfootball who mentions that he thinks Trubisky has more of a second round skill set and in the same post you try to tell me you think Peterman has the possibility as the best QB in the draft by which that same walterfootball said could potentially be a developmental backup.

 

Jesus we just arent going to agree soxbadger. Its cool.

 

I know we arent going to agree, its just that I am going based on my personal opinion after watching these players play. I think Trubisky is a complete wildcard, he could easily be worth #2 or he could completely flame out. As a Bears fan, I dont think the pick makes a ton of sense. They just signed Glennon, who probably isnt a HOF or Pro Bowler, and then they go out and pick a QB #2. It just doesnt seem to make sense.

 

What made (imo) more sense, was you sign Glennon, you see what he can do as a starter. You pick BPA or trade down to get more picks. You take a QB in the middle rounds, because the risk is lower and there is plenty of history of guys after the 1st turning into serviceable QBs. After 2017 you then see where you are, if Glennon sucks, you probably have a top 10 pick in a draft with some interesting QBs (Darnold, Allen, Ross).

 

At the end of the day, its just opinion. Its fun to look back at these discussions years later and see what happened.

 

SS2k,

 

No one is saying that QBs dont get overdrafted. When Tebow was drafted it was crazy, but that was also a really thin QB class. Top pick was Bradford coming off of an injury where he only played 3 games.

Then next year if they are terrible they can trade back and get 2 first round picks and everyone will be so happy.

 

If they pick Adams, he may be great, but he'd immediately be one of the highest paid safeties in the league. So when we are talking about value, that's also an issue. It's like taking a 1b in the top tfive of the baseball draft.

 

CHEER FOR BEER

And this is by all accounts a thin QB class.

Odds the Bears trade down? Has to be high. If not, I assume they take a DB.

I could see them going TE (or even Robinson as an LT). But yes...I think they will trade down (unless they really have a high grade on a guy there at the time).

I dont know a lot of good talent here so hard to pass.

 

Cam Robinson/Sidney Jones would look good. Budda Baker is also interesting but undersized.

 

If the Bears could move mid 2nd and grab some other picks that may be ideal, but otherwise no issues if they get a good lineman or db.

Cards probably taking Kizer. I wonder what we got.

 

From twitter (Brad Biggs)

 

No. 36 and 7th rounder (No. 221) to #Cardinals for No. 45, 4th rd pick (No. 119), 6th rd pick (No. 197) and 2018 4th rounder.

 

So id bet its Kizer and maybe Bears get Budda.
