Thread: In the third round Bears select S Chris Conte

Can he protect Jay cutler or catch a pass from him?

We need a safety because Daniel Manning is leaving in free agency.

Mayock really likes the guy and says that he is a solid football player that can play FS and makes plays.

They were bound to screw this up sooner or later. I'm sure someone will tell you what a great pick it is (my guess is about 4 a.m.)

Manning isn't going anywhere.

I like Conte, but I hate the pick. He's a pretty explosive player, but there was just a ton of talent left on the board when I look at LB, HB and CB.

An explosive player that will play special teams. Obviously JA got controll of the draft again.

Whenever there is a new CBA Manning is going to leave, he may be here in 2011, but beyond that he will be gone.

We need to stop over reacting we hit 2 picks out of the park and then made a very solid pick of a player who will at least be a top backup and potential starter.

Conte gives us depth and has starting potential.

What OLmen did people want?

Rackley, Moffitt and everyone else had been picked.

I would have preferred CB Curtis Brown, but this CB class apparently is divided amongst the teams.
