I agree there is a very good chance Moore is gone by the second. I have also heard a few say, they are the minority, but could be right, that Moore could be the first WR taken.thunderspirit wrote:Furthermore, I really like Moore; but there's every reason to think he will be the first WR off the board, and that's likely to happen in Round One.wab wrote:So, what WR goes then?

We had the worse WR in the league last year. If you think we went into free agency and fixed the WR corps so much that Moore would be our 5th receiver I don't know how to respond.wab wrote:So, what WR goes then?

This is an interesting question. For me, I really am not sold on Carter, but I love Wynn as a move OG who I think will fit perfectly with what Nagy/Helfrich want to do. The more I looked at it, I don't think Wynn gets to 39. And while I do value Nelson over Edmunds, I'm pretty confident that Edmunds will ultimately be a stud, even if it may not be as an edge guy. So I went Edmunds/Wynn.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

The Bears top receiving targets next year are going to be Robinson, Gabriel, and Burton
The Bears are going to give White every chance to succeed
The Bears WR depth chart is Robinson, Gabriel, Meredith, White, Bellamy...so Moore would be ahead of Bellamy

In staleystarch's defense, if DJ Moore inexplicably slid to #37, I would probably draft him as I think he's a top-15 talent in this draft. I'd figure out the depth chart later.wab wrote:The Bears have like the the third most dollars tied up in their WR'sstaleystarch wrote:We had the worse WR in the league last year.

But as much as I like Moore, I cannot possibly justify taking him at #8, or even after a trade-down on Day 1.

I'll go out on a limb and say we do not draft a WR with our first 3 picks. Looking at the clouds of talent as they're stacked in my head, I think the first round will be an EDGE rusher (unless someone like Barkley/Nelson is there) and the second round will be an interior lineman. At pick #39 I'm of the opinion we should have first round OL talent available when it's our turn to pick (*cough* Billy Price *cough*).
Round 4 and beyond I would imagine we take a developmental OT, an ILB and a DL.

I'm not sure Price or Daniels get out of the first round. We may be in trouble in round 2 value wise for interior OL if that happens.G08 wrote:I'll go out on a limb and say we do not draft a WR with our first 3 picks.

Yeah, I see a bunch of linemen coming off the board in the bottom half of round 1. If somehow the Bears don't land Nelson they'd be better off waiting to draft a couple OL with their 4th round picks. It also would hurt my feelings to see them trade back in the second and pick up a 3rd.Hematite wrote:I'm not sure Price or Daniels get out of the first round.

Price partially tore his pec at the Combine, I'm hoping that knocks him down a bit. Even if he does go earlier than our pick, we should still have options (I wouldn't be surprised if we drafted an OT with the intention of kicking him inside to OG):Hematite wrote:I'm not sure Price or Daniels get out of the first round.

If there's a run on interior OL then great, see what positional value falls into your lap and go from there. We need help and depth at a handful of positions.

I don't know what it is, but I have this feeling that if they don't get Nelson, they aren't going to worry too much about the interior OL and just let Heistand see what he can do with the guys they have, save for maybe a later round pick.

I would not take Moore or any WR at #8 either. Btw, the projected 5 wrs for the 2018 Bears had a total of 62 catches in 2017.

If Indy decides they need to protect Luck with Nelson (and 4 QB's go before us), Chubb could fall in our laps.G08 wrote:I don't see how Chubb will be available at 8 so I didn't bother going with it.

Tampa just picked up JPP, so they may want to address terrible secondary (Ward or Minkah).
