But a G in the first round when their are plenty of options out there Im not on board with that

I guess if you really want to look at it without bias what positions you want it looks like we should go early for DE/OT and then go DB/WR/OG based on talent out there

Yeah, and that too, LOL.

I would purely love to see competition for that starting LT spot because until there is the only thing pushing Webb is him and Tice. The only options last year were either starting Carimi or moving CWill again and Tice spurned both. Maybe his position on that has changed who knows but we need another OT anyway so we may just as well draft a guy who projects there to replace OMG.

Life around here would have been so much simpler if we'd have been able to score both Marshall and MWill. That would have thrown the first three rounds wide open to virtually any possibility. Now a pass rusher of one kind or another seems to be a lock as far as round one goes. There isn't much after the first round that spells instant pass rush and even the first round guys have some questions about them as to where they play, DE or OLB.

Based on them saying that Oline is not a priority I take that to mean round one although if DeCastro or Reiff were still on the board I wonder of that would change their minds. If we spend a first round picks or even our second on an OG you have to figure he'll start and to me that would mean CWill most likely moves to LT may the best man win and the loser becomes the Swing OT which is what we were all talking about last year after Tice said Carimi will play RT.

Like I've been saying there's enough good talent at spots we need help to assure that we get at least three good players early in the draft. Players like we got last year. I just have no idea which way they'll go but we should be able to apply at least some BPA strategy in there somewhere.

I can see us drafting Quick, the WR from App St in the 3rd/4th rd, if he's still on the board. I'd rather have Hill but after the Marshall trade I don't see us drafting a WR in Rd 1.

We just traded for a guy who put the term "Beast of a WR" on the map and we know exactly what we have there. He goes out and does it every year no matter who he has throwing to him. So.........Brandon Marshall is a "sure thing" because he's proven it at an NFL level. Michael Floyd hasn't done that yet.

If the Bears thought Michael Floyd was better than Brandon Marshall why wouldn't they have saved themselves $10 mil and drafted Floyd? I'm not saying he might not be that good someday but today isn't that day.
