RME JICO Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 QUOTE(VenomSox @ Jan 2, 2006 -> 02:35 PM) Who do you think the bears will be on the bears radar. I do not really follow college football that much. Davis would be awesome, but who knows what will be available at the last pick in the 1st round.

Who cares if we win the Super Bowl b/c that is the only way we get the last pick. But I want one of the Lewis, Davis, Pope and either one of them can bring this offense to the next level. Davis the most followed by Lewis and then Pope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it has a lot to do with the draft picks. Davis would be a great pick, but he will not be around that late. Pope seems to be the most realistic pick.

Dam8610 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Vernon Davis may go high. Even if he doesn't, he projects more as a WR than as a TE IMO (with his size and speed, he'd be a Moss/Owens hybrid I think). Personally I think Leonard Pope will be the most complete TE (able to block and catch) from this class. The Bears should look at him when they pick (should be in the mid-late 20s). As for the Colts (my team), I'm still hoping that Ernie Sims declares. He or Thomas Howard would make an excellent choice for the Colts (hopefully) at 32.

thedoctor Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 at this point i don't think the bears are going to have a shot at davis. lewis and/or pope are more likely at that point. however, my personal choice would be to start building some offensive line depth. the bears offensive line is aging, and if this is going to be a team built on a power running game, i'd like to have a stable of young, talented and relatively cheap players available when guys like brown, tait and miller go by the wayside. besides, how many impact tight ends are in football? i mean, people have been salivating over lewis for months, and he managed to have a grand total of zero catches against the vaunted northwestern defense in the sun bowl.

Dam8610 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 QUOTE(thedoctor @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 11:29 AM) besides, how many impact tight ends are in football? That depends on how you define "impact". I can think of quite a few TEs that are a very important part of their respective offenses. Antonio Gates, Jason Witten, Tony Gonzalez, Chris Cooley, Dallas Clark, Heath Miller, Jeremy Shockey, and Alge Crumpler are names that come to mind immediately.

Palehosefan Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Vernon Davis runs closer to a 4.55 40 time, but he's still a great prospect. He's undersized at 6'3, but he has a great vertical to make up for it. However, give me Pope anyday, that guy is a monster, there's not a single DB in the NFL that can match up with him size wise.

He showed pretty solid hands in the bowl game as well. Looked like a really good all around TE. I don't know about his speed (and he didn't look to have great speed) but his size was impressive and I'd think it would help out on the blocking end (and thats what the Bears will want...a good all around TE).

Confederate_48 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) Are the Bears gonna have a chance for Lewis ?? I thought he would go early and I didnt think they would get him. Also whats the deal with Pope where will he go ?? I like him the most hes huge but im not sure how fast he is.

Dam8610 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) Pope should be a late 1st/early 2nd pick. I really think he'll be the best overall TE from this draft. Also, Ernie Sims declared! Edited January 5, 2006 by Dam8610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
