I'm not liking the Wooten pick and they should have taken Mitch Petrus, Chris Scott, or Otis Hudson in the 5th.

Oh spaulding, you make me wish it was September.

They didn't look good, and they didn't look bad, but most importantly they didn't look desperate.

Why's that? You like a little Earth Wind and Fire? Ba de ya say do you remember?

The very fact that you think some dude named Otis or Mitch would have made this draft better makes me laugh. The Bears are always your best topic and come September you will be in rare Spaulding form.

The reality is no one knows how this draft is right now. None of the experts who will write their articles with their grades and none of the self professed experts here really know anything. In a couple years we will be able to tell. I like the first pick. I think he and afalalalala can make a nice safety combo for a few years. But who knows.

Otis and Mitch are right guards and they might be pretty good. We need those.

From what I've read they drafted an an athletic inconsistent DB. I guess we don't have enough of those?

I don't like the feel of Wooten now...I hope it works out.

Wooten was recovering from an injury when he worked out, or he would have gone higher.

They do need some younger O-lineman though.

That's my point this rides on him getting healthy. I don't like that considering DL isn't one of the huge needs on this team.

I loved the Wooten pick. He was a game changing defensive end for the cats before the injury and still made an impact last year.

Overall their draft seemed like it was performed by a man without a plan. Like Spaulding, I would have loved to see a, OG with the 5th. I would have really liked to have had that CB with the weird name from Indiana of Pennsylvania with the 4th. FS, CB, OG and then whomever falls their way would have been a logical draft that contained both need and quality.

Also, I think Morgan Burnette was the safety they wanted and got outfoxed by the Packers.

Overall, Angelo's neglect of the OL during his drafting career is a fireable offense to me. Every single year the Bears seem to be playing catchup hoping some veteran with barely any tread on his tires gets cut so that he can be plugged into the line.

I didn't think he looked that great. His game against Iowa (higlights on youtube) was not impressive. I think it's a bad idea to draft an injured guy that might never be again at a position you don't need.

With you on the Packers and OL.

You know it's Saturday night right?

Burnett looks like he can start in GB, he looks that good.

She didn't want to show you off? Not much of a catch are you?

yes...and what do you think it would have taken to move up a few places in the third round to secure him? Maybe flipping 6th rounders.

Angelo frequently strikes me as disorganized or unprepared.

Didn't the Vikings do something similiar a few years ago?

We graduated from the same school so my shit was highly desirable to the underclasswomen back in the day. I even got an e-mail from an old "friend" asking why I wasn't going.

The draft sucked because they made no attempt of trading some players to get more picks.JA is so afraid of screwing up the draft,he didn't want more picks! They fired that Bobby Depaul because I bet (just a guess) he was screaming that the Bears need more picks. Either that or Angelo figured,I don't need this guy to evaluate low round talent.

of all things the national media seems to be ripping them the most for the QB pick. i personally liked the Wooten pick the least. i dont really think a backup DE is a pressing need on this team. the lack of an OL pick in that spot is bad.

Unless you have a future hall of famer, only dumb teams put all their faith in one qb and don't have any depth behind them. It's a really good value pick. Obviously he's not going to take Jay Cutler's spot in the next year or two but you never know down the line what can happen. As someone who complained greatly how they never really had any viable competition for Rex Grossman until Orton finally had some time to fix the flaws in his game I can't complain about that pick.

Let this guy hold a clipboard for a couple years and if 3 years from now Cutler still isn't getting the job done you give him a chance. If Cutler is getting the job done, then he's a great insurance policy or trade bait. If he sucks, he joins the long list of late round picks that sucked.

It would have been hard for the Bears to have a good draft considering what they were working with. They did alright.

I don't like the fact that despite recent history, the Bears continue to draft injury prone linemen and undersized CBs. Not saying these guys won't work out (I actually really like Wooton), but in a year where the picks were as important as ever, I was hoping they would step away from the higher risk players.


That being said, I love Major Wright.

Its a nothing draft.


When you look back at their drafts youll look at this as the year they didnt have any picks. If one or two of them contribute, it'll be a win

Here's what I don't understand. And if this has been address forgive me because I haven't checked the board much this weekend.

They trade all of these draft picks to get a QB. And then, they take a QB in the later rounds? What the fuck for? If Cutler gets hurt, you deal with it. He got hit all the time last year and didn't have to miss a game because of injury. There are plenty of glaring needs on this team and with what few precious draft picks they had, they take a QB. Stupid.

A thought on why Spaulding should like the Wooten pick - he's not a end that fits Lovie's scheme - but he's a perfect 5 Technique DE for that will fit very well in Cowher's defense next season.

I don't understand this organization's hate of drafting offensive linemen. There were a couple of high upside guards still on the board when they re-drafted DJ Moore in Josh Moore. Mitch Petrus would have been a great pick.

Overall, the draft was meh, but that's to be expected when you don't pick until the middle of the 3rd round.

Ted Phillips basically cited the Packers (when they had Favre, Hasselbeck, etc) on the roster. The Bears have been following this kid for a long long time, so when he fell that far, it wasn't too hard for them to take him. That pick hardly ever has an impact immediately, so taking a guy to develop makes sense (Tom Brady) because if he turns out to be good, they can trade him.

One of the major complaints people have had over the last 4-5 years is the Bears do not ever draft a QB in the later rounds. Now they draft one and people complain about that as well.

I don't have a problem with it. He has a lot more to work with than Caleb Haney. Good size and you can work on his throwing on the practice squad for a few years.

It was a 6th rnd pick and he might not turn out to be so bad. I'm good with it.

I don't believe Wooten was for Cowher knowing how much Angelo likes his injured linemen with no knees and injured players in general.

Jesus christ you follow the same goddamn formula in all your teams section posts.

"Wow you [insert team name] fans bitch about [cause de jour] then when they actually do it you complain about that too. I am morally superior to all you people because when I complain, it's about you"

Darko, I never said I was morally superior to anyone. No need to put words in my mouth.
