5 Round Mock Draft

[cblaz11]

Rd 1- Harold Landry- Edge-Boston College-We need a playmaker not only opposite Floyd, but someone who can step in if Floyd goes down. I believe that you want pass rushers in waves, and with Floyd, Lynch, and Landry, we have 3 pass rushers who we can keep fresh and rotate, If Landry would have come out last year, he would have been a top 20 pick. He went back to school, played well, then got hurt. His 1st step and overall athleticism is electric, he's a 10 sack guy every single year. Him and Floyd in obvious passing situations, with our young defensive backfield, is scary!

Rd 2- Donte Jackson-CB-LSU This kid falls inline with Landry in the 1st, speed and playmaking ability. This kid is a burner, but he's also very good at football. He's not afraid to stick his nose in and make a tackle, and he's confident He's got what it takes to be a number 1 CB for us. He'll play the slot early on, but eventually he has the traits to be a number 1 corner for us.

Rd 4-Deontay Burnett-WR-USC- I love this guy. He works the underneath but he can also stretch the field. He shows up in big games and was a top target for Sam Darnold. He drops to the 4th because of his size, 6ft, 180lbs. That being said, he has the frame to add weight.

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


Rd 4-Antonio Callaway-WR-Florida- Callaway falls here because of off field concerns. He had some major issues at Florida capped off by getting kicked off the team for a credit card scam with other players. If focused, he would be a 1st or 2nd rd pick. He does everything. Catches the ball away from his body, had field stretching speed, works underneath. He's a playmaker.

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


Rd 5-Alex Cappa-OG-Humbolt St- Small school prospect that Pace loves. Plays with brute strength and a temper. He doesn't have the fines to play OT, but could be a steal as a OG.

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


Overall, we have the talent for Nagy to work with on offense. Adding these two WRs ads quality depth with two young potential starters down the road.

On defense, we looked good last year, but we were short a couple playmakers. I think we added them with Landry and Jackson. These two round out a really strong young core on defense.

[bearsfaninaz]

No way we take 2 wrs let alone one with issues like Callaway. Pace risked it once in FA and that bit him in the ass.

[cblaz11]

Robinson, Cam(if we sign him), Gabriel, Kevin White, Josh Bellamy, Tanner Gentry...

You're ok with us being one injury away from us relying heavily on Kevin White and Josh Bellamy? I'm not...

I believe you can take risks on character if you have a strong leadership in your locker room. We didn't a couple years ago, we do now with Mitch, Long, Whitehair, Hicks, Trevaithan, and others. In the 4th, he's worth the risk IMO.

[mmmc_35]

Callaway is a talent, for sure. Its not going to happen, but I get the premise.

I would like a linemen taken earlier. I like the Jackson pick, and understand the Landry pick. His 2016 season was fantastic, and he meets the athletic markers.

[EricTighe]

Gonna beat this horse till it's dead. If we take an edge rusher in the first it will be a reach. In 3 years from now we will look back and we will regret what we missed out on.

If Chubb is number one and the conseous was he wouldn't even get drafted in round numbewr 1 last year why is he so good this year?

Case in point.

Ed Oliver*, DT, Houston
Height: 6-2. Weight: 290.
Projected 40 Time: 5.00.
Projected Round (2019): 1.
2/22/18: In 2017, Oliver had 73 tackles with 16.5 tackles for a loss, 5.5 sacks, three passes batted and two forced fumbles. He continued the strong play from his debut season despite seeing extra blocking attention all year. As a freshman, Oliver dominated at the point of attack, starting with his debut game against Oklahoma. From the beginning, Oliver overwhelmed offensive linemen with his quickness, athletic ability, and physicality. He totaled 66 tackles with 22.5 tackles for a loss, five sacks, three forced fumbles and nine passes batted that season. Like Dexter Lawrence, Oliver look like future top prospect for the 2019 NFL Draft.

If this kid could come out this year he would be the number one defensive prospect in the draft.

[G08]

I'm coming around on the Landry angle as well. He's not a complete EDGE player, which bothers me for someone that would have to likely be taken #8 if he was to be a Chicago Bear.

However... what was our biggest issue last season in 3rd down stops (we ranked 20th in the NFL)? No. Fucking. Pass rush.

Fangio doesn't like to blitz in those situations -- especially when it's 3rd and long -- and it cost us because nobody could get home. You draft someone like Harold Landry and only use him as a pass-rushing specialist his rookie season and I think the kid can get you 6+ sacks if he stays healthy. He's going to have to get bigger/stronger, which he will for the 2019 season, before you can use him comfortably (IMO) in base downs as well.

Base: Floyd and Acho
Sub: Floyd and Landry, with Lynch sprinkled in from time to time

In watching as much Landry "tape" as I could last night, there were times I saw him standing up at NT and blitzing into whichever A gap he chose (and he had some success, much to my surprise). He's not a perfect prospect, none of these EDGE players are, but he does have an elite burst and ability to bend that I just don't see in anyone else.

I like him at 8, I love him at 12. If this is Pace's guy, I don't see him trading down and hoping he's still there: the 49ers are hot for him from what I've gathered.

[cblaz11]

I think Landry is an every down player..they all need to get stronger, but I don't see a reason why he wouldn't.

[wab]

I’m fine with Landry. And I like Jackson too. I don’t see the Bears taking two WRs though.

[G08]

I think Landry is an every down player..they all need to get stronger, but I don't see a reason why he wouldn't.

I don't think he is yet, gets stuck on blocks way too much for my liking. As much as people bag on Edmunds for mis-reading plays and giving up TDs, Landry does the same when he gets engulfed by an offensive lineman. He would be a liability at first.

That bend is elite, though.

[cblaz11]

I hear ya...again, Kevin White and Josh Bellamy. Relying on them, scares me

It is..Imagine him and Floyd coming off the edge on 3rd and 10.

If we make it to third and ten? Who is going to stop the run on first and second down? We had that issue when VIc took this Defense over and god it was unBEARable to watch. Losing Mitch, McPhee and Houston is going to hurt our run defense.

[cblaz11]

We were a top 10 defense last year and we got very little from the 3 of them. Lynch is strong against the run, as is Goldman, Hicks, Trevaithan, Floyd, Kwiatkowski...

The sky isn't falling because we lost Mitch Unrein...if it is, we have much bigger problems. He's a good player, but replaceable. Also, we will still add players..

[EricTighe]

10.5 sacks - 3 TFL - 63 tackles

That is a little more then very little.

Never did I mention the sky was falling. Mitch was more liked by Vic then I thought possible. It is kinda of scary that Bullard was brought in to replace him and never could. We shall see.

If you bring up Lynch does that mean your first round pick is only going to play on third downs? If that is the case give me an OLB that has sub 4.4 speed, 20 reps at 225, had 18.5 sacks, 33.5 tackles for loss, 3 int's, 10 pass deflections, 4 fumble recoveries and 170 tackles in the last 2 years. He started out his college career as a DB.

Oh yeah he will be available in round 4.

Not to mention he should be a special teams demon from day 1.

You’ve got a legendary boner for Griffin. He’s a great story, but he’s not a great fit for this defense. He’s not big enough to play outside and he’s going to get swallowed up by blockers inside.

He’s also not going to get by on pure speed in the NFL.

If I could draft I'd try to go this way. Trade down. Nelson was gone but Chubb was there. So I grabbed highest offer. I feel DL is bigger need for higher draft spots and I like the edge guys in 3rd/4th took.

Actually have a bigger boner for Payne. Like I said give this kid two hands and he would be a top 20 pick.

Got a bigger boner for Payne. Like I said give this kid 2 hands and he would be a top 20 pick. Just cuz no one has ever played with one hand doesn't mean it can't be done. For a fourth rounder I would take a damn flier. Not because it is feel good story either.
