going with this ranking, he would have been available. So I thought take him ;)
And other than that, would you like this draft?


but lets see your "perfect draft"

I'd say it covers the needs pretty well through the first three rounds if we discount free agency completely but since free agency comes before the draft so who knows how that may affect the draft for the Bears and others.

Mercilus may not be the most complete DE in the draft but he was a monster pass rusher in college. He may end up being one of those boom or bust guys but he'd be hard to ignore at that point. Pass rushers are usually just too scarce to make it past the first round.

I like the thought of taking Toon in the second over Floyd in the first. I think he's less of a risk and it's pretty obvious I like guys from Wisconsin. I watched his Dad play there in the early 80's and he was a good WR then and had a decent pro career as well. Good family pedigree. Those guys usually adapt well to the pros.

All of the third round guys hit areas of need but I don't know a whole lot about the DB's. Potter has some skills as a pass protector, you couldn't play LT at BSU if you didn't, but I don't know if he's the kind of kid Tice prefers. He seems a bit on the light side so I'd think he'd need to add some bulk and strength to fit into Tice's plans but who knows. We need to start spending some higher draft choices on OT's to get someone else in the hopper for the future.

Don't know much about the guys in the 4th and 6th but Moore is an intriguing QB pick at the tale end. As good as he is in college though he has two strikes against him coming into the pros. One he's on the small side, very small, and two he's a lefty. The third strike may be that BSU QB's and RB's don't necessarily make good pros. I think we've had some experience with that before.

Based on what we know right now that's a good shot at filling some needs.

There are just too many scenarios to think about in a "perfect" draft but getting needs and redundancy in FA I would think it would look something like:

FA: DE, WR, SS

Draft
1-WR (Floyd?)
2-WR (Toon)
3-OL
3-TE
4-LB
5-WR/KR or DB/KR (speed)
6-LB
7-BPA

Must cuts: Omiyale, Rwill. Please fire Drake if we draft WR's!!

Yep, there far better to be had in this years free agent group than the draft. Most of the draftees in this years class don't even rate above a 3rd round pick and some not even that high.

Not enough OL.

Perfect for me would probably start with Reiff falling into our laps at #19 but that ain't gonna happen. After that Coples and Kirkpatrick would be nice but I don't think either drop that far either unless the Combine reveals some flaws.

I've gotta feeling that if we stay put we'll have a choice between a WR, OT, and a DE and all of those are needs. I guess at that point I take whoever rates highest on my board at one of those positions but preferably OT or DE. Floyd is targeted to go around #19 but I still think he's a risk at that spot. I'd rather we solved our WR need in FA and added a 2nd tier guy in the draft. Good LT's and DE's won't be around for long and we should have a good shot at one in our spot.
