The Chicago Bears are on the clock. YOU are the GM. Who do you draft?

 

[Alan]

They need DE and DT. Donald and Nix fit the bill. I just mentally flipped a coin and came up with Donald.

 

[CGI_Ram]

They desperately need help along the DL. Donald goes here.

 

[TheDYVKX]

They need DE and DT. Donald and Nix fit the bill. I just mentally flipped a coin and came up with Donald.

They just picked up Jared Allen, Lamarr Houston, Willie Young, Israel Idonije. DE is no longer a need, and Idonije and Houston both can play some DT for them so not sure how much they need DT now, I know it was a need before. They really need safeties as well. I'm going Pryor but Donald/Nix/Jernigan make a lot of sense too.

 

[Tron]

Donald it is.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Aaron Donald is my pick with no hesitation. Next to Jared Allen up front my DLine will get after it!
CB is a need too but Donald is a perfect fit here.

 

[Flipper_336]

I think that Jernigan fits their scheme better than Donald does, so Jernigan it is.

 

[CGI_Ram]

CJ Mosley could be a wild card, but likely in a trade down scenario.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Taylor Lewan and Calvin Pryor slipping a little?
If the AZ Cardinals draft Pryor i'm gonna be pissed.

 

[RaminExile]

Donalds simply a better play than Jernigan so they take him to fit their 4-3 front.

 

[Alan]

TheDYVKX wanting to be safe:
They just picked up Jared Allen, Lamarr Houston, Willie Young, Israel Idonije. DE is no longer a need, and Idonije and Houston both can play some DT for them so not sure how much they need DT now, I know it was a need before. They really need safeties as well. I'm going Pryor but Donald/Nix/Jernigan make a lot of sense too.

Jared Allen DE 31 years old and a $12.5 million CAP hit next year. Not a long term solution.
Lamarr Houston DT good player
Willie Young DE Marginal starter/career backup. Not an answer. Started 16 games and had 3 sacks and 5 QB hurries.
Israel Idonije DT 34 years old when the season starts. Not an answer/surprised he got a job/probably be IR's midway through TC.
They picked up some Safety depth in FA by signing M.D. Jennings and Ryan Mundy. They could use a starter but I'm still going with Donald or Dix.

 

[Dodgersrf]

This is fun.
Great thread.

 

[Memento]

Wow. I don't think I'd be very happy with this draft the way things are turning out.

Anyway, my pick is Donald, yet again. Best player on the board, and he has been for some time.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Great thread.

Agree! Awesome mock idea by Mojo.

 

[Memphis Ram]

Wow. I don't think I'd be very happy with this draft the way things are turning out.

I would be sick. And I really like Robinson.

 

[Mojo Ram]

I would be sick. And I really like Robinson.

I didn't get my guy either, but that's not really the point.

 

[SierraRam]

I would be sick. And I really like Robinson.

Agree! Dix was my 4th choice at 13.

Anyway - The Bears get a STEAL here and take Donald. They lost 4 DL this off-season, and the guys they signed are mostly for depth..

 

[Alan]

I'm not unhappy with it even though I wanted Matthews instead of Robinson. :eek:

 

[Dagonet]

Agree! Awesome mock idea by Mojo.

Yep, great idea and Mojo has done a fantastic job with it also. :cheers:

 

[Alan]

What happened to your barbecue?
It's just about that time of the year again around here.

The new one is good too though.
