Round 2: Bears Draft Jon Bostic LB
So are we going LB or WR or what in round 2?

Re: Round 2: Bears Draft........
The best available I want Art Brown LB or Robert Woods Wr.

Re: Round 2: Bears Draft........
I would not jump off a building if we went OL AGAIN and selected Brian Schwenke as our center of the future.
I know there are other positions of need, but center is still one that needs to be addressed. Garza (like most of our corners and linebackers) is heading into the final year of his contract, and he's 34 to boot. The center is the captain of the offensive line, and when you get a new HC who's specialty is offense, it seems like a good time to find a long term leader for the offense. Usually you get a new qb, but we're probably resigning Cutler and I'm not sure if the best qb available at 50 is that guy anyway. The other captain type you can instill is the center who calls the protections at the line of scrimmage. Give a guy like Schweinke a year to apprentice behind Garza and get coached up by Kromer and we may have that guy for the next decade.
Otherwise... Arthur Brown, Zavier Gooden, Zachary Ertz, Gavin Escobar, any corner with starting potential, Woods or Hunter... I'm open to whoever is the best player available.

Re: Round 2: Bears Draft........
Does anyone see the Bears trying to pick a back up QB?

Re: Round 2: Bears Draft........
Te'o is probably unrealistic but if he's there he's they guy we draft. As for center Barrette Jones goes in the late rounds so I'd wait until the fourth to get him there because he's easily the best Center in the draft.

Re: Round 2: Bears Draft........
If Te'o is there, draft him. If not, grab a TE or WR, imo.
But who knows after we drafted Long last night. I'm still stunned by that.

Re: Round 2: Bears Draft........
There goes Te'o. Steal at that pick.
I would like to see the Bears take a QB with a late round pick.

Re: Round 2: Bears Draft........
If a defensive tackle that Emery likes is still out there, I wouldnt rule it out as Melton insurance and or a possible way to lower some payroll going forward. If not be flexible for a transition to 3/4. Stream of consciousness...

I dont know much about either of our picks other than what I have read after them being drafted. Looks like we are filling holes though

Round 2: Jon Bostic LB from Florida
Another pick I don't like and I think it's another reach.

Re: Round 2: Jon Bostic LB from Florida
I like the player and these 2 rounds are too close in talent for me to worry about whether its a reach or not.

Re: Round 2: Bears Draft Jon Bostic LB
I've liked all of the moves made by the new management... Until the draft.
I just don't like either of these guys.

Re: Round 2: Bears Draft Jon Bostic LB
I really like Bostic. And i think his numbers don't do his game justice.

Another flipping combine hero who was not an impact player on the actual field. Quickly slipping off the Emery bandwagon.

Emery said Bostic was clearly most athletic middle linebacker in this draft class according to #Bears system
