Collins will be a good pro ... but I don't think he's a top 10 pick.

That's my thought as well. I like that he's a physical safety but I just saw him get burned too many times in pass coverage the last year or two.

I wouldn't be devastated or anything if they took him. I think I'd actually like to watch his style of play on the Bears. Maybe I'm starting to talk myself into it. But, I just get the sense that he's not the difference-maker you need and should be able to get at #7.

The guy at CBS has Collins going at #29 in his latest mock -

They've got much better rankings now. With all the D they've signed in the offseason, I wonder if they are going to go O-heavy in the draft.

There does seem to be a lot of value in the draft. I don't like who I think is going to be there at 7. I like Beasley but that seems high. I think they should be trading down.

Anyway, this draft would add a lot of talented athletes -

1: R1P7
QB MARCUS MARIOTA
OREGON

2: R2P7
RB TODD GURLEY
GEORGIA

3: R3P7
S JAQUISKI TARTT
SAMFORD

4: R4P7
WR JAMISON CROWDER
DUKE

5: R5P6
DE LYNDEN TRAIL
NORFOLK STATE

6: R6P7
ILB TAIWAN JONES
MICHIGAN STATE

Why do most talking heads in Chicago assume Mariota cannot play pro style simply because he hasn't? I am not yearning to draft him but all I hear is has not been in a huddle or under center. Is that terribly difficult for a high level QB to learn in a year behind Jay?

I have actually heard Cooper or White???? One year with Cutler ( as I have heard ) and then who will be throwing the pigskin ? Number 1 rated QB Connor Cook?
Better get a pass rusher and a lot more D help....I'm not really sold on Fuller.Lets see how this GM drafts. The last had 2 years how many are you willing to give this guy?

Who are all of these signings? They got a LB who appears to have upside, and a safety who is on his last legs.

Did I miss something?

Although WR is getting some love of late, still have a hard time thinking they pass on OLB in this draft. Shelton is going a lower in the most recent mocks I have seen also so, if they do defense, it almost has to be an edge rusher here. I don't think the glut of them on the roster should be a reason not to take one, considering two are coming off off serious injury and Allen is nearing the end of his career.

I would think Gurley in the 2nd would be nice to phase out Forte.

Why the need for a running back??? The Pats having been winning for years with guys off the scrap heap

Here is my latest

1. Danny Shelton, DT, Washington
2. Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Oklahoma
3. Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota
4. Ifo Ekpre-Oluma, CB, Oregon
5. Ibrahaim Campbell, S, Northwestern
6. Xavier Dickson, OLB, Alabama

This is a dream draft for best player available. Sure I didn't address all needs or even the most pressing needs. However, I got top end talent throughout. Williams won't be there at 3 but, my goodness, would that be great. I also solved a lot of problems in the secondary. This offense would be retooled and ready to produce.

I should have taken Shelton with #1 here. But, I'd still be great with this draft in adding athletic guys that can play. I'd love to get Montgomery that late as a return guy and possible 3rd receiver. I don't think Prewitt lasts that long either. I thought he was a 2/3 rounder.

I used Matt Miller's board. They don't give you the composite option anymore.

I wish they had composite. I was able to snag Peters and Darby drafting as the Packers with CBS board. Not very realistic.

I don't see any way Maxx Williams is still there in the 3rd round.

QB SEAN MANNION
OREGON STATE

247: R7P30
G ADAM SHEAD
OKLAHOMA

NFL Executive of the Year draft right there for the Pack.

Parker was too much value to resist at 30.
Anthony provides a rangy coverage backer to shut down pillow soft Jimmy Graham.
Diggs will step into the corner rotation missing Tramon and House.
Gunter switches to S to pair up with Dix.
The rest are depth lottery tickets to be groomed.

I did another mock today where Bryce Petty was there in the 4th.

I think I'd have to pull the trigger on that.
