Big Bad Bears Blog

First I just have to mention how disgusted I am with the fact that the Bears drafted yet another defensive end. They also drafted another CB which I'm okay with but they really should have taken a QB at some point in the draft. Oh well.

1. Jeff Otah (OT - Pittsburgh) His player profile page for the NFL combine says he compares to Max Starks and has ideal size and speed to be a left tackle.

2. Brian Brohm (QB - Louisville) - I can believe he fell to the Bears and they didn't take him. That was a dream pick for the Bears and they blew it. So, exactly who are our QBs right now?

3. Matt Forte (RB - Tulane) - I like Forte a lot and I am glad he Bears picked him, but he would have been available in the third and the Bears still get a potential franchise passer.

3. Mario Manningham (WR - Michigan) - It's not that I don't like the Harrison pick, it's that I think the Bears have already gone down one raod with a DT who has an arrest record a mile long, why another one? Manningham has the ability to turn into a legitimate #1 WR.

4. Craig Steltz (SS - LSU) - I like this pick a lot. He's like what the Bears expected Adam Archuleta to be.

5. Roy Schuening (OG - Oregon State) - The Bears again pick oline but this time on a developmental prospect like they did with Josh Beekman last year.

5. Steve Justice (OC - Wake Forrest) - Olin Kruetz isn't getting younger a Justice is a good developmental project to groom as his replacement.

7. Marcus Griffin (FS - Texas) - The Bears still need depth at free safety.

7. Jeremy Leman (ILB - Illinois) - Who the heck is Joey LaRoque? Sounds like an adult film star name. Leman should absolutely be giventhe chance to make a roster.

7. Jonanthan Zenon (CB - LSU) - Fine Angelo you want a corner? Here you go. At least this one doesn't have a history of injuries.

7. Marcus Monk (WR - Arkansas) - One of the only other picks the Bears made that I actually liked.

How the draft should have went

Ill agree to disagree. Williams was the better choice. Hes a natural LT, while Otah was a RT. Im pretty sure the Bears would have pulled the trigger on Otah if he was a LT, because he has less injury problems than Williams, but i digress. Im bummed about Mendenhall but am happy because every decent OT was gone by 21.

I disagree with Brian Brohm. We needed one later, 5th-the end. But nothing, and im still going WTF? I would have settled for Anthony Morelli, Nick Hill, anyone! I would have totally pulled the trigger on Desean Jackson.

Agreed on Forte, and would have passed on Manningham with Jackson, and would have traded that pick for picks. WTF were they thinking with the DE?

Steltz i agree, Tommy Z went really earlier than everyone expected. Was Griffin even drafted?

Shuening and Justice were taken late, Justice was your boy too......but who in the hell would have thought that Indy would take 2 centers when Saturday still has years left in him?

Agreed on the CB, now we have another CB who blew out both knees. Just fantastic. AGreed on Leman, not on Monk. I would have taken a shot on someone else. Very quality, look at mine.
