Yeah, I think the 2nd round QBs are all going to go at the bottom of the first which will help us.

I think Ponder, Dalton, Mallet, all go in the first. Along with Newton & Gabbert, obviously. That's 5/29 right there. Which makes a trade very likely too. Maybe can rob some team desperate for one of them.

That video made me more comfortable taking Austin. It's hard to judge him on his relationship with his Mom, that's common in black culture, where they are often single parents. I have no idea if that's the case with him, but I don't think it has much to do with his draft stock. Dude loves his Mom.

If Newton's relationship with his father doesn't take him out of consideration for the top pick Austin's relationship with his mom definitely shouldn't take him out of late first round consideration.

Barring colossal free fall by someone:

1A) Pouncey
1B) Carimi
Trade down
Baldwin/McClain

That's about it.

I am not buying the McClain bs.

I am. Not in the 1st though.

[HeavyLeggedWaistBender]

Yeah, I hope you didn't think that's what I meant. If Pouncey's there he's our guy. If hes gone and Carimi is there hes our guy, but if neither are there we trade down. Then I think we go Baldwin and McClain in round 2.

Or do you just not believe we're taking McClain at all?

I just don't believe we are taking McClain at all.

Why don't you think we'll draft him?

Just because of where he's projected to go. I think we take a OT-OG-C at the end of the 2nd, and a DT/WR in the first.

If we slide down, grab another pick in the 2nd, maybe we take him, but I just am not buying it.

I am just hoping all these QBs jump off the board early, because teams will panic and trade up into the first to grab their 2nd tier guy.

I would love to rape a team like Oakland who loves Kaepernick (spelling?).

[HeavyLeggedWaistBender]

Dan Bazuin thinks we'll take McClain in round 2.

[regoob2]

Christian Ponder? lololololololololol

At least we know who's gonna be 4th place in the north for the next 5 years.

[regoob2]

Suh and Fairley are going to be scary good. That picks just bumps OG up a notch as a need.

[bearsfan_51]

Nothing unexpected so far as it concerns us at the moment. My top 10 available looks like this:

1) Prince Amukamara
2) Gabe Carimi
3) Anthony Castonzo
4) Derrick Sherrod
5) Da'Quan Bowers
6) Cameron Jordan (as a UT)
7) Muhammad Wilkerson (as a NT, obviously)
8) Marvin Austin
9) Danny Watkins
10) Andy Dalton....I kid.

[bearsfan_51]

That said, if I can't get one of the top 3 lineman I'm dying to trade down.

They already had arguably the best DT rotation in the NFL.

GL Kreutz.

[Hurricane Ditka]

Will the Bears make their first first round pick in 3 years?

[Gay Ork Wang]

CARIMI!!!!

[bearsfan_51]

Beast.

[Hurricane Ditka]

Awesome sauce

So we were either trying to trade up with Baltimore to get James Baldwin or Carimi(or possibly Ingram but unlikely) but thankfully the trade didn't go through. Really happy with Carimi as the pick but shocked he fell as far as he did.

It was Carimi.

Carimi could be a 10 year starter at RT. I was never real high on Carimi but im ok with this pick. Tice is high on him and I think he'll definitely help the team.

At least we know what our OL will look like.

[HeavyLeggedWaistBender]

BONER BONER BONER BONER ROCKIN EVERYWHERE!!!

My numero uno pick. You're ******* welcome.

[Monomach]

Hoping for someone from this list in the second:

Stefan Wisniewski, OC
Rodney Hudson, OC
Jurrell Casey, DT
Jarvis Jenkins, DT
Marvin Austin, DT
Orlando Franklin, OT/OG
Clint Boling, OG
Davon House, CB
John Moffitt, OG/OC
Ben Ijalana, OT
Leonard Hankerson, WR
Greg Little, WR
Ras-I Dowling, CB

Just heaps of sexy, sexy talent left in this draft. So deep.

As for the first rounder...Yeah. Damned good. I love a guy who plays like he wants to kill the opposition. Opposite of Chris Williams.

[bearsfan_51]

Good list. I'm a big Hudson fan. I do think Terrell McClain is a realistic option at 62.
