Chisoxfn Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 10:44 AM) For the Bears IMO its a bad pick since they already have a guy that is sufficient for their team. They have glaring holes in the secondary and at LB. I dont think Elliott makes it to them anyway. I think we all saw flashes from Langford, but in reality, there is a big difference between Langford and Elliot. Elliot is a potential superstar RB. Langford is not. For a team that plans to get off the bus running, there is value to having a potential superstar back plus a solid back. Gives team depth as well (which is critical). Most importantly, when you look at the likely available players, if elliot is there, he is just hands down (in my non expert opinion) better than the other options. Clearly if a stud pass rusher was there you'd have to look that direction. William Jackson is interesting, but didn't he have some off the field issues or am I confusing him with someone else (or an erroneous report)?

They have glaring holes in the secondary and at LB. I dont think Elliott makes it to them anyway. For a team that probably wants to run the ball a lot, is "sufficient" good enough? Langford showed flashes, but he also wasn't that good. I'm not big on LB, the DL depth should get them something good in the 2R, all the corners seem like reaches in the 1R, and if they really are cool with Leno, Zeke would make sense to me. I also trust Donatell to coach up a 3rd round CB and turn him into a very solid player. I wouldn't mind a Zeke-Vernon Butker-Xavier Howard start to the draft at all. All that said, I'm guessing he is gone and I can't forsee the Bears trading up at all. Edited April 26, 2016 by scs787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 12:49 PM) It means he doesn't know when to shut up. That doesn't always go over well with management and coaching staffs. Totally. Outspoken football players when questioned by the media are basically shunned.

The Bears are going to be looking at either BPA or someone at LB or DB IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananarchy Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 No way Elliot reaches the Bears. I'm reasonably sure that Dallas or a team trading up to 3 will draft him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yeah I'm interested to see where Tunsill goes now. Chargers don't seem to be obvious fit though figure it out! Ravens may go Tunsill but seem to really want to plug in their defens.e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I'm good with it. Pace had a solid first draft. If they can find another class with 3-4 starters, I'm happy. from 2009-2012 bears had 26 picks, 26 PICKS.....only one still on the team....Alshon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Happy Draft Day, everyone. I still don't get this Stanley over Tunsil talk. Tunsil was clear-cut #1 material for over a year, and then 1-2 weeks before the draft, he falls? I'm not sure I'm buying it. But if it does happen, they're a bunch of idiots. I like Stanley a lot, but Tunsil is as close of a sure-thing as you can find at LT. The dude is really damn good. He doesn't have any holes in his game. Why must NFL teams make it so difficult on themselves? No way Ramsey falls too far. I can't imagine any scenario where he makes it past 7 or 8 - even if those teams don't want him, someone will be trading up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
