I think he mentioned that during the presser. He talked about drafting a guy out of need and not taking the best available player. Big mistake.



Unless I am confused what you are saying he said the opposite. He said you use free agency needs so that you can take best available.


What was the mistake part he mentioned?



I thought he meant it would be a mistake to draft only for need not that he made that mistake. Could be wrong though.

Enough with the stupid reaches in the first few rounds & drafting guys too early. Go chalk in every round.


That was this guy. No pick is safe in funhouse Bearsland no matter who the GM is.

Most people had Fuller ranked as a late first round pick & ranked around #5 for Cornerbacks. C.J. Mosley was ranked #9 overall & the #1 LB in the draft. Based on their performance in their rookie season, I will stand by C.J. Mosley. He was the best player available.
When the #9 ranked player overall falls to #14, you pick him.

No one had Fuller ranked higher than Mosley.
Gotta love guys defending Phil Emery draft picks. :lol:
Below is SBNations top 200 for the 2014 NFL Draft.


Most people didn't have what you are trying to assert. SB NAtion did though.

CJ Moseley played in a 3-4 scheme in college and with the Ravens. Maybe you don't know this, but the Bears don't and never have run that scheme.

Fuller was by far the best CB picked in the first round. And he will get better in time regardless of what system the Bears choose to run.

A lot of GM's didn't think that he would make it as a tackle.

Star Lotulelei absolutely abused him in week 17. Shades of Aldon Smith. Just pushing him back into the QB like he was on roller skates

Fuller was anything but a reach.

And I'm not sure that a year with Mel T. would have done anything for Moseley's career path.


No one had Kyle Fuller ranked as high as the Bears did.


Not true
