Thread: Sports Illustrated believes in Jeffery

Why? Because of Sam Bradford? I think the logic behind not placing him in that list is because he is going to be looked upon as a project player due to the fact that he played at FCS school (Appalachian State). I'm sure he can be taught a few things, but I think that the Bears got a far better value in Jeffery, who is a polished and solid receiver for someone coming out of college.

Shit, I totally forgot that Quick was drafted at #33 by the Rams. Sorry for the horrible analysis. I'll try to do my homework a little better next time.

Did I just read that pro football scouts believe that Brian Quick is going to be the next Terrell Owens? That sounds preposterous to say the least. Owens was an elite level talent - one of the greatest wide receivers who ever played the game. Brian Quick is a very raw wide receiver who needs to learn a lot about his craft before I'll say that he's on T.O.'s level.

On the other hand, T.O. did come from a small university just about two hours south of where I live (University of Tennessee-Chattanooga). Maybe that's where they're drawing their comparisons between Quck and T.O.

It would take a lot to be as melodramatic as T.O., Randy Moss, and Brandon Marshall. To change the subject for a brief moment, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop on Brandon Marshall. That guy has had more off-the-field issues with domestic disturbances and fights at clubs than just about anyone else in the league outside of Adam "Pac-Man" Jones. So far, as far as I know of, he hasn't been punished for his transgressions, and I don't think he will for the latest incident he had either up at a nightclub in New York or with the domestic dispute he had with his wife (depending on who tells it and who/what you want to believe).

They very neatly forgot Shea McClellin too. Can't admit the both of the Bears first picks might be impact players could they? I got a chuckle over this one but holy hell would break loose if they didn't give a nod to a Pats pick.

Chandler Jones was the Pats consolation prize after we scooped McC, the guy they really wanted, up in front of them. So instead of it being McC with that Pats he was just unfortunate enough to have been drafted by the Bears and we can't grant them two top picks can we even if that's exactly what we got!! LOL

Gotta love the politics involved with this. The highly esteemed Pats draft machine get no impact players but the Bears and their rookie GM get two!!!!!! Oh my God..........we can't have that. Cross McClellin's name from that list and put Jones in quick. hahaha

Hell yeah there's a political factor involved with this! The Patriots are the "it" team in the league right now, and of course, according to the media, anything they has to be good, right? That's a bunch of bullshit. They drafted Brandon Meriweather in the first round and he turned into a bust. So much for being the "perfect franchise."

Chandler Jones has bust written all over him. He missed a huge chunk of his senior season at Syracuse due to what was only reported as a "lower body injury" and thus only had four sacks if memory serves me correct. Jones' draft position with the Patriots is based on mere speculation that he has the potential to be a solid defensive end in the NFL, not based on any tangible evidence, whereas McClellin played healthy during his career at Boise State. McClellin will be just as big of a factor for the Bears as Alshon Jeffery will, but won't get the recognition because he is a defensive end and Jeffery is an aircraft carrier of a wide receiver - and we all know that offensive players generally get all the publicity.

Four sacks???? That "lower body injury" was a kick in the nuts.

He's damn lucky he has a sack left at all.
