Yaps - After reading your post again I see you included the draft picks in the first 3 rounds. I still believe the draft is very hard to predict booms and busts outside of the top 12 picks. You can't miss in the top 12, after that hit and miss.
How would everyone rate the draft? While I know Carimi has some yellow flags on him from a few teams, given where we drafted in the first round he was good value. He showed the edge we were looking for and was injured. How many games did he miss in college?
Paea - I think looks like a player. For whatever reason, the Bears brought him along slowly last season. He seemed to be a playmaker once he got on the field and I think he and Melton, Okoye is a nice young core that I hope we can keep together. We still need a big plugger, not sure who that is.
Conte - Good pick, was criticised by many on this board at the time of his selection. He looked solid and with a year under his belt I'd look to see him used closer to the line following his rookie season. I am not saying he is our strong safety, but I think the coaches were putting him routinely 20 years of the LOS. Look for that to pinch up.
Enderle - Hate the pick. Waste of a 5th round pick when you have a top QB in his prime. Cutler is 27 and we don't need to be drafting developmental QBs. Stupid pick.
Thomas - Injury red shirt, likely no more than a special teams player.
After seeing it for a season. I'd give this draft a B- considering where the Bears picked and the production they got in return. Carimi if healthy would have pushed this draft up to a solid B. 3 Starters out of this draft.
