Kind of a wasted pick. I would have gone WR or Ot there. Oh well.

[Soxfest]

Tank was a reach in the 2nd he could of been had in 3rd.

[Gene Honda Civic]

Well if taking 2 DT's in the first 2 picks isn't an admission that you sabotaged last years season by trading away your starter, a key player to the eventual superbowl champs, I don't know what is.

[CWSGuy406]

Kind of a wasted pick. I would have gone WR or Ot there. Oh well.

I dont see it as a wasted pick at all. He seems to be a quick, agile guy who can get to the QB, and cause havok in the backfield. Just what Lovie wants. They also had this guy very high on their charts, so they feel it was a steal to get him there.

 

Also, a certain player named Charles Tillman was taken in the second round last year, even though some said he could have been had in the third round. He turned out pretty damn good, didn't he?

[witesoxfan]

How in the hell is Matt Ware still available?

[CWSGuy406]

Bears with their 3rd Round pick select Bernard Berrian, WR from Fresno ST. 6'1, 190 pounts, 4.59 Fourty Yard Dash time. Good hands.

Analysis | Agility | High School | Personal

 

OVERVIEW

Exciting big-play artist, whether it is catching the ball, returning kickoffs and punts or coming out of the backfield on reverses … Has game-breaking speed and fantastic leaping ability … Sat out most of the 2002 season after suffering a knee sprain in the season opener versus Wisconsin, but came back strong with a solid senior campaign … Started 40 of 49 games for the Bulldogs, catching 199 passes for 2,849 yards (14.3 avg.) and 25 touchdowns … Only Rodney Wright (222, 1998-2001) had more receptions in FSU annals … His 2,849 yards are topped only by Henry Ellard (2,947, 1979-82), Brian Roberson (2,956, 1993-96), Wright (3,274) and Charlie Jones (3,344, 1992-95) on the school's career-record list … His 25 scoring grabs equaled the team's all-time record, first set by Ellard and matched by Jones … Returned 68 kickoffs for 1,571 yards (23.1 avg.) and a touchdown … His 68 returns tied the school career record, first set by Kevin Means (1989-91), while only Means (1,670) and David Dunn (1,639, 1993-94) gained more yards in FSU history … Returned 99 punts for 1,144 yards (11.6 avg.) and three touchdowns, shattering the previous Bulldogs' records of 71 returns by Mike White (1966-69) and 675 yards by Brian Roberson (1993-96) … His 1,144 punt-return yards rank fifth all-time in Western Athletic Conference annals … Added 264 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries (12.6 avg.) … Touched the ball for a total of 387 times during his career, gaining 5,828 all-purpose yards with 31 touchdowns, topping the old school all-time record of 4,425 all-purpose yards by Rodney Wright (1998-2001) … His 5,828 yards are topped only by Colorado State's Steve Bartalo (5,962, 1983-86), LaDainian Tomlinson of Texas Christian (6,337, 1997-2000) and New Mexico's Terance Mathis (6,691, 1985-87, 89) on the WAC's career-record chart.

ANALYSIS

Positives: Split high with long legs, tight skin and high calves with the potential to add another 10 pounds to his frame … Immediately defeats the cushion once he gets off his release, showing the quick feet, sure hands and speed to effectively beat the jam … Good route runner in both man and zone coverage, showing the ability to avoid the defender and find the holes with his smooth weaving, quick transition and acceleration through his speed cuts … Has outstanding field awareness, settling instinctively as he slides to create lanes and carry depth in his routes … Sinks his hips to gain his burst after the catch in the open … Very alert of the sidelines and chains, knowing how to squeeze and fit through the defense and take hits going for the ball in traffic … Good extension to pluck the ball at its high point … Shows very good concentration catching in a crowd, protecting the ball securely with his body … Has the height and speed to be an effective deep threat, as he gets down field quickly and can track, adjust and jump for the ball over defenders … Has a knack for locating the ball on a late read or with his back to the quarterback and will not hesitate to make a play on a tipped pass … Very strong and difficult to bring down in isolated coverage, as his burst and elusiveness will generally make the first tackler miss … Has a quick change of direction with an outstanding second gear burst … Performs in the clutch and plays the game with great passion.

Negatives: Tough player, but has had several injuries that could draw durability issues … Has explosion in his routes, but will take false steps and be a little late getting his release off the ball (quickly eats up the cushion once into his routes) … Struggles to get to the low ball … Prefers to body catch, resulting in some double catches … Not a strong blocker, lacking technique, but his willingness is there.

How in the hell is Matt Ware still available?

I'm still wondering

[WHarris1]

Helluva first day for the Bears.

[DBAHO]

What are every1's thought on Julius Jones the Notre Dame RB. He doesn't really look like a Parcells type of back, but I hope I'm wrong. We get Buffalo's 1st rounder next year now as well, which could be a top 10 pick.

Jones seems OK. I thought they would get someone better though.

 

I'm still f***ing shocked as s*** that the Bills traded up for JP Losman, not only because it just f***ing came out of nowhere, but because I was thinking that the Cowboys would draft Jackson for sure.

 

I was hoping for a trade-up with Houston at 10 to get Roethlisberger, but I can't say that I'm upset after day 1. Buffalo gets the 3rd receiver they really need, and have a nice trio of receivers, with Moulds just being a solid all-around receiver, Reed being a possession type of receiver, and then Evans who can flat out fly. I'm hoping Losman can figure s*** out within 1-2 years in the league, because I am not really all that confident in Drew Bledsoe.

 

 

BTW, how about the Lions? They actually look like they have an offense that is coming around. 2 damn good receivers, a good RB in Jones...they could be a surprise team that maybe wins 6-8 games this year. I still think their defense is a little shaky, and that wil be the thing that makes them a mediocre team this year.

[SuperSteve]

The Lions are still not very strong...it seems like people here are accepting the fact that Harrington is not the answer. Adding Williams and Jones to Rogers is nice for the Lions. They did sign some DB a little bit ago too, I dont remember who. They still have a bunch of holes.

 

 

I personally like JP Loosman. He wont need to start right away, and I think he could do pretty well in Buffalo. By the time hed need to start, they will have a very tough back(McGahee at full strength is better than Henry IMHO, so this assumes one of the two is traded), Lee Evans will be coming into his own, Moulds may be on his way out, but with a few years left, Reed may figure it out eventually. I think it is a good fit.

[Soxfest]

L.Joe in the 4th is a big reach he was projected as a 7th round pick.

[CWSGuy406]

L.Joe in the 4th is a big reach he was projected as a 7th round pick.

Charles Tillman was projected fourth round last year, the Bears took him second round.

 

He turned out to be pretty good, didn't he?

 

Trust in Jerry Angelo - have faith.

[Spiff]

Joey Harrington will be fine once they give him a running game and an o-line.

[CWSGuy406]

First fifth round pick, pick number 147, the Bears select Claude Harriott (sp?) DE, Pittsburg

 

Second fifth round pick, pick number 148, the Bears select QB Craig Krensell, THE OHIO STATE.

[Spiff]

I like Harriot alot, he would have been higher if he came out last year, first or second round, but he got hurt before this past year. That was a solid pick.

 

As far as Krenzel, meh.

[danman31]

Krenzel, omg. What a s***ty QB. I can't believe he got drafted.

[CWSGuy406]

ChiSoxFan, do you have the scouting report on Harriott?

[AssHatSoxFan]

craig krenzel?!?!

[AssHatSoxFan]

turner the burner goes to SD

[MurcieOne]

I hope we find a way to nab Jarret Payton, I think besides the fact he's "34" son, he has alot of untapped potential. Hope we nab him.

ChiSoxFan, do you have the scouting report on Harriott?

Prospect Profiles

 

 

Claude Harriott

Position: Defensive End

College: Pittsburgh

Height: 6-3

Weight: 271

Hometown: Belle Glade, Fla.

 

Analysis | Agility | High School | Personal

 

OVERVIEW

Typifies the new breed of lean, long and lightning-fast defensive ends … Cut in the same physical and athletic mold as a Jevon Kearse and Terrell Suggs, he can be a disruptive force once he applies himself … "Claude is just a really special football player," defensive ends coach Charlie Partridge said. "He brings so much to our football team. The thing about Claude that separates him from other guys with his kind of talent is that he keeps trying to improve everyday." … In 47 games, he recorded 154 tackles (94 solos) with 13½ sacks for minus-106 yards, 35 stops for losses of 156 yards, 32 quarterback pressures, nine forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, 10 pass deflections and a blocked kick.

ANALYSIS

Positives: Hard upfield pass rusher who is quick off the snap … Has an adequate feel for blocks and can be productive on stunts … Can redirect inside with an explosive initial step and comes off the ball with good body lean, showing the explosion needed to pressure the pocket … Plays with leverage, keeping his shoulders squared when moving laterally … Active in pursuit, using his power to get through traffic well … Comes hard off the edge, showing good shiftiness in his attack … Flashes cat-like quickness and good reaction movements when given room to operate … Uses his hands well, displaying a quick overhand move when generating a bull rush.

Negatives: More move-oriented, as he does not work through contact with power at times … Struggles to anchor and read vs. the run (gets washed out too much as he tries to overpower the blocker, rather than execute proper rip and club moves) … Has a problem defeating blocks vs. the larger foes, as he does not have the bulk needed to prevent from getting engulfed and re-directed … Plays out of control at times and can be ridden wide too easily … For all of his athletic ability, he just seems to go through the motions, taking time off for long stretches … Not a student of the game (needs to be pushed to do the extra things needed to succeed) … Needs to play with better hand usage, as he short arms too much, allowing blockers to cut him at his feet … Question his work ethic and dedication (regressed considerably in 2003).
