       I just did a 7 round mock on the fanspeak website. Once again
       considering we sign a DL (Wilkerson or M.Jackson) and Trevathan
       (OLB) thru free agency.
       1) Paxton Lynch (QB)
       2) Robert Nkemdiche (DT)
       3) Kyle Murphy (OT)
       4) Joshua Garnett (OG)
       5) Miles Killebrew (SS)
       6a) Joe Schubert (OLB)
       6b) Tyler Johnstone (OT)
       6c) Wayne Lyons (CB)
       7) Keyarris Garrett (WR)

       The Jets are saying they are going to tag Wilkerson.  And you
       are willing to gamble on Nkemdiche?  He scares the crap out of
       me.

       Chicago Bears FACTS on Defense in 2015 :
       30th in SACKS
       30th in INT's ... that's out of 32 teams.
       Where do we put our priority's at ?
       A SHUTDOWN CORNER & DEFENSIVE LINEMAN with the first two picks.
       Of course ... now that we have a 3-4 defense ... we could see a
       LINEBACKER ...
       you gotta stay flexible.  :D

       Bears had 35 sacks in 2015 - that's 22nd in the NFL (still not
       very good)
       And with only 8 picks they were tied for the 30th place.
       Passes defended - tied for 31st place.
       Forced fumbles - tied for 30th place.

       Wshfl
       Also stud DLine players are usually gone by the end of the first
       round usually.
       But most of those guys will be 4-3 DEs and 3-4 OLBs which mean
       maybe some of the 3-4 guys slip to our pick in the 2nd round or
       later.  Kind of like Goldman last year.

       I suppose you can pray about that Dallas, but other than divine
       help I don't have much faith in that.

       It wouldn't shock me if Nikemdiche was gone by #20 in the first
       round. The talent is just too good. He wont last till 11 in the
       2nd round.

       And while Paxton Lynch is a very worthy 1st round selection, his
       selection wouldn't make our performance in 2016 better than
       2015. A player at a defensive position has a better chance of
       making that happen.

       I'm not talking about pass rushers - I'm talking about 3-4 DEs
       primarily.  Big tall guys that are not exceptional pass rushers.
       Who do we have at 3-4 DE?  Jarvis Jenkins, Will Sutton, Ego
       Ferguson, Mitch Unrein
       Jenkins was signed to a one year deal last year.   Sutton and
       Ferguson are converted 4-3 DTs and Unrein is a journeyman.  Big
       need.
       The fast 6-3 260lbers are going to play 4-3 DE or 3-4 OLB and go
       in the first round - I'm not talking about those guys.

       Just saying that IMHO a punter has a better chance to improve
       our standing in 2016 than a QB. To me a clipboard carrying QB
       doesn't help the standings like position player of need. We just
       have too many needs to invest in a QB at #1. Maybe one of those
       6th rounders we can afford to waste on carrying a clipboard but
       not #1.
