The Bears are going to **** up the draft.  It's a given.  We're talking about the CHICAGO BEARS.

been listening to locked on Bears draft podcasts on iheartradio.

The look a lot at mid/late round prospects which has me thinking it may be a good idea to trade one of the seconds or a late second and a third.

My sister is an Oregon State fan and talks up their QB Jake Luton.

He's big with a strong arm, leader, smart, doesn't turn over the ball.  His main fault is checking down rather than trusting his arm and what he sees downfield.  I think he's a good late round consideration.

Against trading down. Quality more important than quantity.

OL, TE, S, CB, WR, LB.

our OL stinks to high heaven, ignoring the problem won't make it go away. I'd pick OT over G. We lost Lucas and Massie was bad & Leno putrid.

TE, if a real good one is there in round 2 like Kmet take him, otherwise wait to a later round, but take one.

I'm actually Ok with Tolliver & Bush, but if a strong safety like Chin is there at 2 take him. SS has been a black hole.

We need another wr with some speed. Most teams line up with 3 wrs now & beyond Robinson & Miller we're weak.

We've lost our depth at LB.

Bears just have so many needs.  You've listed quite a few positions below and LB is actually 2 positions.   Quantity can help you better ensure you get a quality pick.  The draft is a crap shoot.

Yep.  You only left off off QB, NT, and DE - lots of needs.

I agree - I like getting a tackle and playing him inside initially.  Leno's and Massie's contracts almost guarantee they'll be starting the season at their positions.  We'll see if they can retain their spots.

TE, if a real good one is there in round 2 like Kmet take him, otherwise wait to a later round, but take one.

Kmet is the best of kind of a mixed bag.  With Burton gone I'm thinking the Bears snag a TE with a pick in the first 3 rounds.  Kmet is solid but not on par with the top TEs in previous years.

I like Tolliver too, but recall he was undrafted and has had only 2 career NFL starts.  Burns has some good game experience but had only 1 start last year and only 6 the year before.  And Canada guys are always long shots.  A corner might not be a bad pick if we can get another pick in the top 100.

We need another wr with some speed. Most teams line up with 3 wrs now & beyond Robinson & Miller we're weak.

Gabriel was the speed guy.  And he used it more to get open for short/intermediate stuff than for long plays.  Lots of depth at WR this year.  Maybe the Bears decide that a top flight WR is the guy they want at 43?   But they could take a project guy with speed later in the draft more likely.

We've lost our depth at LB.

Bears still have Joel Iyiegbuniwe.  He was bypassed by Kwiatowski and Pierre-Louis last year when the starters went down.  Bears will need to find an ILB late in the draft or an undrafted FA.

Really?

For what it's worth...Jason LaCanfora just said that there is no way Robert Hunt gets past the Bears at 50.

I hope he's right.

His write-ups remind me of Quentin Nelson...he likes to punish his opposition all the way thru the whistle.
