If Pace doesn't stop pinching pennies they are going to be forced into Marshon Lattimore. Lattimore is great and had an impressive combine but that is very high for a CB.

Very high for a safety as well, but seems they are running out of options at 3.

It's time for Adam Hog's annual mock drafts where the Bears are the only team drafting!

1st round, No. 3 overall — S Jabrill Peppers, Michigan (6-1, 205)
2nd round, No. 4 (No. 36 overall) — QB Patrick Mahomes, Texas Tech (6-2, 225)
3rd round, No. 3 (No. 67 overall) — TE Jake Butt, Michigan (6-6, 250)
4th round, No. 4 (No. 111 overall) — S John Johnson, Boston College (6-1, 205)
4th round, No. 10 (No. 117 overall from Buffalo) – WR Kenny Golladay, Northern Illinois (6-4, 194)
5th round, No. 3 (No. 147 overall) — OLB Ejuan Price, Pittsburgh (5-11, 241)
7th round, No. 3 (No. 221 overall) – QB Alek Torgersen, Penn (6-1 1/4, 215)

I do think these are exceptional S and CB.

Lattimore's 40 time would have been top end for a WR

What the hell, I would. Post op is OK right? Right?!?!?!

Just throwing this out there because Im interested in what the thought process of everyone would be.

Bears trade Cleveland pick number 3 for

Cleveland's pick number number 12
Number 33 (second round)
Number 52 (second round)


The Browns get 2 of the top 3 players in this years draft essentially and it might help their ticket sales.

The Bears would move down but then have 3 total 2nd round draft picks.

I think Ive been playing too much madden.

Clinton Dix is good. But you also have famous busts like Mark Barron and Michael Huff.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

For a good chunk of Thursday morning, as quarterback Deshaun Watson worked through his pro day script, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney chatted up one of his most inquisitive guests. Bears coach John Fox was on hand as college football's national champions put Watson and 13 other draft prospects through their paces.

Fox and Swinney, for whatever it's worth, were hip to hip for the bulk of Watson's throwing session and for a while after it ended. So what exactly was Swinney sharing about the highly touted quarterback who over his final two seasons led Clemson to 28 wins, two playoff appearances and this past season's national title?

In part, the Clemson coach said, he was offering an intimate perspective on Watson the person.

"The production speaks for itself," Swinney said. "But it's also the things you don't see. It's what is inside of him. It's what's between his ears. It's the type of young man he is. He's the complete package. … He's chemistry on day one. He's leadership day one. He changes the locker room day one. He makes everybody better day one. "

With a huge gaggle of NFL talent evaluators on hand Thursday, no team came with a more impressive cavalcade than the Bears, whose observation party included Fox, general manager Ryan Pace, director of player personnel Josh Lucas, offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains and quarterbacks coach Dave Ragone.

Even after signing Mike Glennon to a lucrative free-agent deal last week, the Bears' presence alone at the Allen N. Reeves Football Complex on Thursday seemed to be a clear indicator that they're still exploring their quarterback possibilities.

Thursday's trip offered an opportunity to gather more intel on Watson.

The Clemson quarterback was measured in his own self-evaluation of Thursday's throwing session, understanding it was the last extensive piece of on-field evidence he would provide before next month's draft.

"Solid day," he said. "(I think I showed) I can do anything that they ask me to do. Everyone said that they've seen what they wanted to see."

Watson aims to be the top quarterback drafted, in that discussion along with North Carolina's Mitchell (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky and Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer. His college success and character have never been in question. But there's still lingering curiosity about how he will adapt to the NFL. Some talent evaluators still question his ability to read the entire field, to avoid costly interceptions and to throw a consistently accurate deep ball.

Jamal Adams ran a 4.3 today at his pro day. Pencil him in to the Bears

I've never seen an accurate pro day time.

I ran a 4.5 on my pro day and that was in Arthur Andersen's cafeteria.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Biden is doing a GOOD job.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

I'll tell you that my guy right now is Malik Hooker, S, OSU. The guy said he was "100% coming back" as late as November 28, so I think he has been under the draft radar. He wasn't under the radar, mind you, just not on boards, because he was adamant that he was returning.

6-2, 205

7 INTs, 3 returned for TDs in 2016

One year starter, which is just a bit troubling (but only a small bit).

I would want to see his combine stats, of course, but I just don't see how this is not going to be MY GUY. Game changing talent.

This fills so many Bear needs. He creates turnovers, at which the Bears have been woeful. He is a coverage safety, which they do not have. He is also a willing tackler with 74 on the year. I think you can team him up with Amos or Jones-Quartey and have a good tandem back there.

His presence immediately makes the entire Bear D much better. You saw that when the pressured the QB their DB looked good. Imagine what it will look like if a DB actually IS good.

First feeling is the correct feeling.

Get me Hooker and Bear.

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

One year starter and part of a stacked secondary. I'm nervous.

I love Malik Hooker too but he's injured. Gotta take Adams or a QB.

Peppers should be available in the 2nd round now that he had a diluted sample.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.
