Bears need a speedy receiver more than they need a defensive guy at the 7th pick. They should go for Kevin White from West Virginia. He has prototypical size for a #1 receiver at 6'2" or 6'3", is fast with a top speed of 4.35 in the 40 yrd. dash and pushed out 23 reps of 225 lbs. That's as good as some lineman in college.

What's most impressive is that he had nine 100 yrd. plus games at West Virginia in 2014 out of 13 games played and was said to have caught everything thrown his way. And he's still getting better after being a JUCO transfer in college.

Offensively, the Bears haven't been the same since Johnny Knox left due to injury. I would be comfortable with the Bears O with Slausen back at LG, maybe they can find a better right OT, and with White, Jeffrey and Bennet as receivers. I guess the Bears were'nt dumb to trade Cutler. If he can get his head out of his ass this year, for once, maybe he could be productive in a new offense. There's reason for hope if they get a guy like Kevin White at 7.

This guy is for real. Very good hands.

Dorial Green Beckham is the best WR talent in this draft and might just be available in the second round. Pace picking him would further call into question the trading of Marshall

this is all sorts of wrong.

I don't think there's anyone who sorry to see Marshall go except Marshall. He was injured too much. When he could play, he didn't get open because he's slow or he dropped the ball because of bad hands. I can't recall another Bears receiver who dropped as many easy passes as Marshall during his career in Chicago.

Maybe. But at least I can write, unlike you.

From what I read, the Raiders are either taking White or Cooper. Both are terrific and one of them will be available at 7. He'll be the best player available. Do it.

Traye Waynes is the only other guy I'd pick.

Word up. If Pace takes a two-down nose tackle at 7, he should be fired on the spot.

The Bears have to find a way to equalize Green Bay's firepower on offense or they have no chance of ever competing. Drafting White would move the Bears in the right direction.

The best way to counter act the Packers offense is to draft a three down end that can rush the QB well.

When's the last time the Bears drafted anyone good at DE or OLB? You'd have to go back to Briggs and before him, Trace Armstrong, in 1989.

The Bears have a much better record drafting receivers. They can't miss on White.

With all the DE/LB additions in free agency, having 2 strong CBs in the 3-4 is more important. I'd be very happy with Trae Waynes and Kyle Fuller, both 23 years old, to be starters for years to come. I just think you can't pass up on White or Cooper. They're too legit.

The Bears already have solid weapons on offense with Bennett, Jeffery, Forte and a decent O-line. Not to mention they signed a solid #3 WR in free agency.

They are in dire need of some talent on defense, and there should be more than a few guys worthy of the #7 pick defensively in this draft. Drafting a WR with their #1 pick might be one of the dumbest things they could possibly do if they want to improve this team.

Do not want.

How did your solid weapons work out for you last year? Bears were 23 in scoring out of 32. Forte and Bennett are old. None of these guys have any speed. That's the problem with the offensive, slow receivers that can't get open or Forte running into the backs of his O-linemen between the tackles.

From the Sun-Times today, "Bears Take Kevin White in Mock Draft.

http://chicago.suntimes.com/bears-footb ... mock-draft

The more buzz about him now, the better come draft day so the Bears will have an obvious choice.

Why Draft a WR when he will be totally messed up by Cutlers crying that he is doing it wrong.

Get a CB that's needed for the aging Corners - we got one, need another. Peanut is a fantastic person and player, but the Bears wont be signing him. Jennings is close to moving on as well - need some depth / replacements. Trae also fits Fangios defense.

Who says Bernstein doesn't read this board? He just said his guy for the Bears is Kevin White!

But now I'm thinking, if Jameis Winston is available the Bears have to take him. How often do they get such a low draft pick to get a QB? Not very.

Intriguing what they are saying about his football IQ. He would be a big step up from Cutler, who according to Aaron Cromer is a football dunce.

Of course it Winston if he falls but no one thinks he is going to fall to 7. He doesn't fall beyond 2.

The Bears would NOT draft Winston to keep him. Only to trade him.

lol @ drafting Rapist Winston

That would be completely fucking stupid of the Bears, I don't care if the dude falls. Let some other dumbass take a chance on that criminal.


As for drafting a wideout, I can't help but feel like Rube is a bit of a meathead fan that doesn't think big picture when I read his explanation as to why the Bears should go that route.

I think White and Cooper will be good players, but they aren't can't miss guys. And when you are switching your entire defense to a new scheme and there could be some highly talented/valuable players at 7 to fill those needs you need to take a serious look in that direction. I could understand if some of the D-linemen and LB's in this draft were considered reaches as needs at 7 but that isn't the case here. There is already talent on our offense, we need to start building a defense at some point -and this draft seems like a good place to do that.

Really? What value do you expect to get on that pick from a team that wants him bad enough that they couldn't put together a package to come up and draft him themselves?

How does this make any sense to you?
