I could handle getting Winston.

On-the-field there isn't a bad report on anything. From teammates liking him, leadership, to all the skills, top grades. He does seem like something awful will happen to him outside the lines, though.

Still, I think I'd take that chance.

Also, you might not have to trade up. He's a possibility to be there at 7 depending on how all these issues settle in the predraft discussions.

TB, Tenn, and the Jets are the only teams ahead of them that would look QB. No way Lovie touches him. It would only take those 2 teams to sour or find their QB elsewhere. Could happen.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

You'd take Winston #1? If I were running a team, I wouldn't even include him on my draft board. No way I'm building my team around a guy with a serious character problem.

If the Bears don't see their QB of the future in this draft, they should do everything in their power to trade out of the first round and acquire as many top 100 draft picks as possible.

In general I would agree but this is the NFL. He could mature and what he does on the field is superior to every other QB in the draft.

I think character is more important at QB than it is at other positions. That's why I'd steer clear of Winston no matter what. FWIW, I also don't think rape is a maturity issue. I am familiar with several college students who have committed rape--and in none of those cases was their problem a lack of maturity.

I agree with Midget ( ), there is no way in hell I would draft him. I like Mariotta, but I am not totatlly sold on him either. But part of that is my fault as I just haven't watched him play a lot.

Would it be better for the Bears to trade down in the draft. The whole roster is a pile of shit.

Are there any linebackers worthy of being selected that high?

Oakman has somewhat inexplicably decided to remain in school. He would probably have been a top 12 pick but I guess he wants to be a top 5 guy next year.

Every mock draft I've seen this morning has them taking Collins at #7.

They'd probably be better off trading down from this #7 pick if they can get anybody to bite.

Someone will want Winston if the Bears don't. Should easily be able to trade down.

Ignoring the off the field behavior. Winston has 24 TDs and 17 INTs. I need my guy to be accurate and careful with the ball.

As I have been saying, I think this is likely the wisest draft strategy in 2015, assuming it can be executed.

The Bears have needs across the field and should thus accumulate as many top 100 picks as possible. By following this plan--which also involves trading or cutting veterans such as Allen, Bushrod, Forte, Long, Marshall and Cutler--the Bears will almost certainly have a top 3 pick in 2016.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Are you sure that you want to cut a guy that has been named to 2 Pro Bowls in his first two years?

If Braxton Miller were to decide to go to the draft, is he much of a prospect?

I envision him pulling a Russell Wilson next season and transferring to FSU or something, but he could declare instead.

Trade or cut. I'm going to guess he would be on the "trade" list.
