Bears drafting a RB?

[DaBears0530]

when do you guys project the bears drafting a RB, who do you think they'll take?

[dabears10]

Only on the 2nd Day. I wouldn't mind Darius Walker or if he falls to the 4th Lorenzo Booker.

Brandon Jackson in the 3rd.

I'd say not until AT LEAST the 4th round, maybe 5th.

So, Kenneth Darby if he slips, Lorenzo Booker, DeShawn Wynn, Tyrone Moss, Darius Walker, Garrett Wolfe or Romance Taylor. One of those guys. I say we get a fast RB with upside or who could be a change of pace/3rd down back.

One option though, if the Briggs trade goes down and we then trade down and get extra picks, if we have an early 3rd and Micheal Bush is available, GRAB HIM. We would then have a better 1-2 punch and our running game would have IMPROVED w/out TJ. ironic.

I think they go 7th round or undrafted FA. Whoever they target has to be willing to play special teams and be good at it.

Exactly.
Well, I think they may travel up to the fifth. But probably not before that.

I'm not totally sold that the organization is comfortable with Peterson as the clear #2, especially with Benson's history of recent injuries. I think it depends on who is available, but if Booker is there in the 3rd I agree that I think he would be hard to turn down. I wouldn't totally rule out Henry from Arizona either, although that is more based on potential. They need a speed component obviously.

they will wait till the 4th, unless they aquire an extra first day pick..and if someone slips to the 4th they will take him....

...i think they wait till 4th but you never know, if a RB is the top player available when they go to pick, they might do it in the 3rd, no way in the 1st or 2nd though..

Romance Taylor

A running back named Romance on a team whose head coach's name is Lovie. That would certainly be interesting.

[Smokey Joe]

Like I said... it will be Brandon Jackson in the 3rd.

Sorry to spoil it for you, but it's Ramonce.

id like Michael Bush if he falls....

I would almost promise you we won't take Bush. We need a cutback speed guy, the exact opposite of Bush. This is why everyone keeps bringing up Brandon Jackson.

i know why ppl keep bringing up Jackson that doesnt mean i agree with it. I understand it, but I dont believe its correct

I agree. I would like to take Bush if he drops down enough. If Benson gets injured again, what do we do - Peterson and Darius Walker? That does not work IMO.
