zenryan Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 06:29 PM) Still too much time between pics. Imo When it was 15 minutes it was too much but I think 10 minutes is perfect for the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 03:56 PM) I still can't believe how much the change to the 3 day format ruined the draft for me. Just no where near the excitement for the draft that I used to have. Agreed. I used to love spending all day Saturday and Sunday watching the draft. Grill out, drink some beer, and watch the draft. That's my ideal scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I did love Saturday draft day, but Thursday works for me. Get off work, get s***faced and watch the first round, and then see teams jockey for position for the first pick of the 2nd round. Do the same thing Friday night. Then Saturday, do what you want. Rumors that the Bills want to trade down because they only have 6 picks. MAYBE DON'T TRADE A 7TH ROUND PICK FOR TAVARIS JACKSON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 SportsCenter's mock draft has us picking a Tennessee WR, Patterson, with our 20 pick. Michael C Wright of ESPNChicago made our selection for us. WHAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 We are at the point in draft coverage where everything that could have been said has been said, every scenario discussed ad nauseam and the only ones talking are Joe YouTube who thinks he knows everything. This time next weekend will be where Joe YouTube loses his s*** because the draft didn't go exactly the way he wanted it to go and b****es about it ad nauseam until training camp starts.

southsider2k5 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 The only way it could be better is if the Bears draft Teo. The meltdowns would be legendary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Drafting a wr in the first round who is not a complete stud is such a waste of resources. You can get a guy like Ryan Swope, much later on and he ran a 4.34 http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dspro...3&genpos=WR It just is to painful to watch the Bears draft these days.

GoSox05 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Since when are the Bears so set at WR? They have one really good WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNukeEm Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 There is definitely cause to have faith in Jeffrey's ability and Bennett ain't bad either. We could've maybe used a 4th option but we did sign Martellus Bennett too. I wouldn't mind another WR, but maybe in a later round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 They spent a 2nd round pick on Jeffrey last year. You cant just keep throwing draft picks at WRs, you end up like the Lions. Unless they are a Calvin Johnson, you might as well wait until the mid rounds and get good value. I see no reason why Swope in the later round couldnt be a slot wr. There are just so many athletic wrs that you dont have to grab them early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who I think take a WR in the second round almost every year. If Cordarelle Patterson falls to the Bears in the first round and the Bears have him ranked as the number 1 or 2 WR in the draft. How do you not take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you not take him. What? http://www.nfl.com/draft/history/fulldraft...0&type=team 2011 Randall Cobb was pick 64 (late 2nd). They drafted Jordy Nelson pick 36, early 2nd round in 2008 James Jones 2007 round 3 Greg Jennings 2006 round 3 Since 2006 the Packers have drafted 0 WRs in the first round. How do the Bears pass? Simply supply and demand. If you can get a substantially better talent at one position now, and you get roughly equal talent later, it doesnt matter if they are 1 or 5. It matters the separation in talent. And WR is a position where there is a ridiculous pool of taleny.

I wouldn't use a WR in round 1 for value reasons (considering there's not any real reason to doubt Jeffery yet) but I wouldn't exactly be upset if they did that. Still I'd rather take someone like Ryan Swope later on who'd accomplish the exact same thing. i'm guessing Swope would be there in the 3rd because... you know... he's white. Same speed as Tavon Austin though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
