Wow, you do like WRs. With Marshall, Bennett, Hester, Knox (perhaps after PUP time), Weems and Thomas the Bears already have their usual six. Everybody likes Marshall, I like Bennett (great hands, gets open, tough) and like Hester as a #3. I have some hope for Weems, and like the idea of Knox and Thomas battling for the "who do the Bears resign as a speed guy." You figure they will keep 7 or cut Thomas?Quote:

I'd be a bit surprised if he takes a WR with the 1st pick.
Unless there's some ridiculous fall by someone you "can't pass up", there's zero reason for us to even consider a WR until the 3rd at the earliest.Quote:

Swap in Luke Kuechly for Hill. Less so maybe Nick Perry or Konz for Floyd.Quote:

I think the Bears might try to go after a WR like Nick Toon in either the third or the fourth round. There are some mocks I've seen that have him projected to go that low. Personally, I think Nick Toon would be a great pickup and a steal in either round, and it would give soulman a boner that he will not be able to holster within his sheath since Toon played at Wisconsin.
Maybe not hill but i think windy is right about floyd...if he hits 19 its a no brainer pick
