       A pick this year, like a 3 and the conditional 4th the following
       year?  I think he is a generational talent, it's whether he can
       stay off the weed.  Big risk, big reward.  The guy is built, he
       is fast.  He has crap throwing to him.
       I would love to see him in Navy and Orange...  The Browns are so
       far away yet, they will likely deal him.

       I like Method's suggestion. He has too many danger signs to
       offer more than a conditional pick.

       Conditional 3rd maybe 4th but definitely not top 2 rounds.

       Can the Bears, with not a whole lot of picks and many needs,
       ignore the O-line this draft?
       If they think Long and Sitton will be back to full health along
       with Massie, the Bears will be adding Eric Kush at guard next
       season (back from injuyr) as well as red-shirted 5th round draft
       pick Jordan Morgan.
       If they do snag an olineman - which position and what round?

       It all depends on the WR situation.
       That clearly is the biggest weakness of the team.
       I don't see how they cannot possibly sign a free agent
       regardless of the draft,  and their activity also depends on the
       health of Cam Meredith.
       Adding a FA and Meredith to Inman, Wright and possibly Bellamy
       as a special teamer would put them in a decent position.
       The teams drafting ahead of the Bears, Giants, Colts 49ers and
       Texans have OL as their biggest draft need.
       Looks like a good scenario to trade back if one's available or
       get the defensive stud.
       The Cardinals at 12 and the Redskins at 14 might be players for
       Baker Mayfield or Josh Allen.
       With Arden Key having a knee problem the last two months we
       might have a shot at  Fitzpatrick as the new defensive leader
       and playmaker or one of the best corners.

       OK, lets just look at the best top 10 picks. Thats QB. LOT, and
       edge rusher/OLB. If the QB position is good and OT has been
       gobbled up then its the perfect time to grab the best edge/OLB.
       That is just MY opinion. OTOH OLine is a weakness. I wasnt aware
       Morgan was IRed. But we clearly need a swing tackle to develop.
       Where you draft him depends on the QUALITY of the position
       heading into the draft and also strength of the position. We did
       get Leno in the 7th round. Just saying that it depends on what
       we like and how strong the draft is at that position where you
       draft that position and whether or not that need is filled in
       FA, which we dont know at this point. And it also depends on
       medical info we arent privy to. Pace may be the only one privy
       to that kind of info. Its just too early to pinpoint that. From
       what I have seen such as with the WR need, I have seen some very
       good WRs. That will be a strength of this draft. Round 2 should
       get you a high quality WR, hopefully a #1 type.
       And right now I dont think the final strength of the draft class
       is available until after the NCAA season is over with as a lot
       depends on how many juniors declare for the draft.
       A new coaching staff will also change the draft and its just too
       early to determine that either.
       Personally I like to wait till after the combine to weigh talent

       Trubisky isn't going to do jack squat without protection, so
       it's got to be OL and WR first,second or vice versa. Three top
       needs on the team are OL, WR, and LB as they've had lots of
       injuries to the LBs. Freeman was out all year and Trevathan was
       in, out, in, out. Honestly if they pick nothing in this draft
       but OL, WR and LB they're looking pretty good.....

       They should also look at FA at all three positions to solidify
       them....

       Both cornerbacks are free agents, what are you going to do
       there?
