There's a lot I like about him... he's a thick kid, has a track record of being able to be the focal point of an offense, he has solid hands and can run routes from the slot, he's got good vision and instincts to find the hole and make a defender miss, etc.
His long speed is a concern but he's a Kareem Hunt type in my eyes... I'd see if we could drop him to 210 lbs (Hunt dropped to 208 before he tore the NFL apart his rookie year) and unlock some speed.

Got it - I might have to watch Montgomery a little more. I didn't see him being used in the passing game all that much.G08 wrote:There's a lot I like about him... he's a thick kid, has a track record of being able to be the focal point of an offense, he has solid hands and can run routes from the slot, he's got good vision and instincts to find the hole and make a defender miss, etc.

His head coach called him the best slot WR they had on the team.DaSuperfan wrote:Got it - I might have to watch Montgomery a little more.

I'll be honest. I've never been as disinterested in the NFL Draft as I am this year.

I'm still very interested - the middle rounds may not be as sexy as R1 and R2 but there's a lot of good talent to be had in Round 3-5.

Same - however, I do miss the days of when the Draft was completed on the weekend. R1 - R3 on Saturday and R4 - R7 on Sunday.thunderspirit wrote:Day 2 is fun, but Day 3 is my favorite day.

The 2nd round has always been my favorite... at least when we had picks in that round.thunderspirit wrote:Day 2 is fun, but Day 3 is my favorite day.

I know literally nothing about either of them, but for all of you who are more knowledgeable about draft prospects than me (all of you)....

I know a little about Trewyn -- pretty good athlete, transferred to DIII Whitewater after starting out at MN-Mankato, will undoubtedly need practice squad time -- but nothing about Neal.

I know a little bit about Neal. He's pretty undersized for an edge rusher. I think he's like 6'1 235. But he's pretty quick. I don't know if they are looking at him as an inside rusher or not.BR0D1E86 wrote:I know literally nothing about either of them, but for all of you who are more knowledgeable about draft prospects than me (all of you)....

What are our biggest needs?
I know we may not need a WR anymore, but I have some serious mancrush for Parris Campbell. He probably won’t be available when our first turn comes up, but I salivate at this type of receiver coming in and adding an underneath threat to Biscuit’s arsenal.

FWIW, John "Moon" Mullin thinks that if the player evaluations are equal, the Bears will take a corner or offensive line ahead of RB.
Had some good insight... apparently Pace wanted Denzel Ward last season but didn't have a shot at him since he went #4. He also tried hard and failed to sign Stephon Gilmore and A.J. Bouye in the past and instead paid good money to Prince Amukamara and Kyle Fuller. Amukamara has an injury history *knocks on wood* and after this season can be cut for $1M. Wouldn't shock me to see us go corner in the 3rd round if Pace finds a player he values.

I can totally see that, there's not much depth behind Amukamara or Fuller. Can't rely on Kevin Tolliver all that much. I'd be totally fine with CB in R3 - they need some outside CB depth. Someone that can develop into a starter in a year or two.G08 wrote:FWIW, John "Moon" Mullin thinks that if the player evaluations are equal, the Bears will take a corner or offensive line ahead of RB.

I'm starting to get a bit of a crush on David Long.

If we do trade up in R2 for a CB, I would love Byron Murphy or Rock Ya-Sin.

Emanuel Hall WR Missouri just signed with us. Could be an UDFA steal. I like the signing a lot.
