Yeah I'm hoping for a trade up in the second round.  There should still be a good edge rusher there.

Bout spit my coffee out laughing when they said 'Charles Leno was solid'. Yeah, like a solid lump of immovable clay. You could put a manakin out there and get the same production he put out.....

The Bears at one time had this player who had a history of being so athletic that he could jump out of pools. Needless to say he was a bust.

Just like the Bears, if the guy can jump out of a pool, he's gotta be a good football player..

Let's say the Bears really really like Carter.

If the Lions are going to go corner at 6, then the Raiders or the Falcons could have a shot at Carter or Tyree Wilson with picks 7 and 8.

Would the Bears give up that valuable top 3rd round pick to move UP from 9 to 6 to get Carter?  Lions could very well find any corner at 9.

Depends. I have seen the Lions taking Carter with their 2nd 1st rounder. I really havent heard much chatter about Carter anywhere. Has he been blackballed or something?

Carter is visiting the Bears today.

Poles however has made it clear the value of the 9 pick and this early in the team building process is not the time for risk taking.

What exactly is the risk with Carter?   That he goes out and races cars on weekends?  Did anyone question his ability during the season...when he was on the field?   He was ranked the #1 prospect in the NFL before he turned into Speed Racer.

If Bears due their due dilgence when they met him and they're good with his mental state - then by all means draft him.  There is no one at 9 with a grade close to him except one guy.

And you know you don't want me talking about him.

Claiming he was innocent and expected to be exonerated along with gaining weight and not finishing drills on his pro day does not inspire confidence is not a good look.

The big concern is that if he gets that high draft pick salary and doesnt really love the game and gets in with the wrong crowd, he isnt going to put in the effort.  He has already shown questionable judgement.
