I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

I think there is a very strong possibility one of these guys is there and this would really be shaping up as a good draft:
Round 2
Hageman
Jernigan
Nix

When it comes to the Bears, America is just a slobbering shitwagon. Every single opinion of his regarding this team is the most pristine of doomsday horseshit.

Looking at the LBs and Safeties that would be around in Round 3, it looks like they are all round 4/5 talents.

Look out for the drafting of RB Charles Sims from West Virginia. Fast, great hands, decent size. I like him.

College: West Virginia
Position: Running Back
Height: 6’0″
Weight: 214
2013 College Statistics: 208 attempts, 1,095 yards, 11 touchdowns, 45 receptions, 401 yards, three touchdowns.
Charles Sims transferred from Houston to West Virginia last season, and made a name for himself very quickly at his new school. He proved to all of his doubters that he could continue playing at a high level against better competition and he was a true leader for West Virginia’s offense. There are some concerns about his game, but they all seem to be fixable with coaching, and his instincts and physical ability are undeniable. Currently, most NFL Draft analysts project him to be drafted in the third or fourth round.
Strengths
Has great speed and acceleration for his size
Runs with great energy and strong cuts in the open field
Very quick on his feet, good lateral agility
Can be very tough to take down from indirect angle
Played some special teams (kick return) in college
Above average receiver out of the backfield
Very good NFL body, will take the beating of every week carries
Weaknesses
Lacks top end speed to burn defensive backs
Not proficient in short-yardage situations
Had some ankle issues, but nothing too serious
Stops feet and leg drive on contact with defenders
Below average in pass protection
Doesn’t work hard for extra yardage between the tackles\
Overall, there are quite a few concerns about Sims’ game that will be improve on with good coaching. There are a lot of things for him to improve in, but he has shown great attitude and work ethic throughout his collegiate career. His receiving skills out of the backfield are going to be a major plus for potential suitors, and his overall physical ability will also help him in a big way. He doesn’t seem to have the ability to become an every down running back in the NFL, but he certainly could be an important part of a running back by committee type of system.
NFL Player Comparison: Matt Forte, Chicago Bears

Based on how they are behaving, I don't know how they could justify going for offense in any of the first three rounds.

If they want the defense to be passable, they have a lot of work to do still.

That type of thinking leads to reaching to fill a need. They have to be open to taking the best player that's there. No sense taking a 4th-round talent LB in the 3rd if there's a steal available.

Assuming they get a D-linemen in the 2nd, they don't need to add another DL or CB in the 3rd. There are likely no 3rd round LB or S talents available so I could easily see them adding a RB or other offensive player if it is a value.

If Hageman, Jernigan, and Nix are all gone, I'd be OK with trading the 2nd round pick and adding an early 3rd and 4th or something like that. I think that would be a great move but I don't know that they'd find a trading partner unless somebody like Kouandjio is still there.

They could probably still get Sutton in the 3rd.

I get that philosophy.

However, that is also how you then get to the 4th round and there are no 4th round LB or S talents available.

Jernigan should still be there. He may even fall to the 3rd round. He failed a drug test at the combine, so his stock is way down.

That's the problem, though. The value of a 4th round LB prospect isn't that great anyway, typically. Don't compound that by wasting a 3rd round pick on it. Better off getting a more productive player, even if it is in a non-need position.

The local DMV is full of flopped-out mid-round LB prospects that you could take a flyer on to fill a roster.

Michael Ford looked fine to me. I don't understand why they would take a RB in the 3rd round.

It wouldn't be my ideal scenario, either, but I could see it working out that way.

I like Ford but I see him as secondary RB in a platoon more than a load guy. They still need to address the replacement of Forte in the next year or two.

Word is spreading around these here interwebs that the Beloved are burning the phone lines to move up as they there is a top 15 player on their draft board still available.

Toward that point, I think there is a much greater chance Bennett goes down with no viable backup than Forte. I don't know how many times I have said this in my life but GET ME A TIGHT END ON SATURDAY!

Hageman

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

DT looks like the best value in the second with LOTS of good talent still on the board. I think these guys will fall as good value at QB is scooped up and people recognize all this WR talent on the board. It really is a great draft for WR.

I think there is a very strong possibility one of these guys is there and this would really be shaping up as a good draft:
Round 2
Hageman
Jernigan
Nix

It is really dangerous to wait until Round 3 for a safety you pretty much need to start. I just think those three DT just present so much more value.
Round 3
Lamarcus Joyner
Terrance Brooks
