Aggressive Mock Draft

*Trade* The Chicago Bears trade 1[19] and 2[50] to the Seattle Seahawks for 1[12] and 4[111].

1[12] DE Melvin Ingram [South Carolina] 6'2" 272lbs.

All Bears fans agree that the Bears need a dominant pass rusher to pair with Julius Peppers. But we spend our time arguing over DEs with serious question marks and red flags. I say that we should get aggressive make a move and get the pass rusher that we need. Ingram is they most talented pass rusher in the draft, he can rush from all over the field and mulitple positions. He makes up for his lack of ideal height with great speed, explosion and strength.

3[80] WR A.J Jenkins [Illinois] 6' 190lbs.

The Bears need added depth at WR and they need a player that can take the top off of the defense and Jenkins can do both of those things. Jenkins has the speed and ability to make big plays against zone defense and allow for Marshall and Bennett to work the underneath routes.

4. OT/OG Levy Adcock [Oklahoma St] 6'5" 332lbs.

The Bears add depth and size to their OL with Adcock who can play RT and OG. Adcock's versatility makes him a nice addition to the Bears as he can compete at LG allowing Chris Williams to compete at LT and he can back up Carimi at RT.

4. DT Jaye Howard [Florida] 6'3" 302lbs.

With the loss of Okoye the Bear are thing at DT and Howard showed at the Senior Bowl that he has the burst and power to disrput the pocket and play the 3 technique.

5. LB Travis Lewis [OU] 6'1" 246lbs.

The Bears add a versatile player in Lewis who has played WLB and MLB for the Sooners. Lewis can be worked out at WLB or MLB and developed behind our veteran group.

6. CB Omar Bolden [Arizona St] 5'10" 202lbs.

The Bears have signed a number of CBs for depth recently, but neither is a long term starter. Bolden would be drafted much higher if he had not missed the season with an injury. Bolden has the size and physicality to play in the Cover 2 and is worth the risk at this pick.

7. LB Adrien Cole [Louisiana Lafeyette] 5'11" 250lbs.
The Bears need to add a number of young developmental LBs in later rounds in a hope of hitting a home run in the 2-3 years that they still have Briggs and Urlacher. Cole might not look the part, but he is a football player that makes plays.

No way would I give that up for Ingram…Jenkins would be a good pick up…not a fan of Adcock…really like the fit of Howard for us…Lewis would be a great pick up but I doubt he falls to the 5th round…Bolden & Cole would have to fight real hard to make the roster.

I'm starting to like AJ Jenkins a lot. He would be a great 3rd round draft pick for us imo.

Ingram isn’t a little under 6-2”…he is half a foot under 6-2” at only 6-1’ 1/2” with a very compact frame…add in 31’ 1/2” inch arms that is a concern to me…again Perry has nearly an inch and a half in high and an inch and a half in arm length…he also has more bulk to him...

If there was a defensive end with no question marks in the draft then sure we should draft up…but not for a guy who it is even questionable what his position is going to be in the pros…personally Coples is the only guy I would consider making a move for…and even at that I doubt I would move up 7 places and give up a 2nd rounder in the process…we have plenty of directions to go in for this draft so there is no need to trade up for a guy we aren’t 100% sold on (unless the Bears are of course).

Only reason why we sould trade up is to get M. Floyd, Decastro, Blackmon, or a true blue chipper at their position. I'm pretty sure Izzy would not lose his job to Ingram. Coples has a chance later in the season, but Ingram isnt the prospect to trade up for. Just my opinion.

Ingram has to play in a 3-4 defense.

He is much too short to be an effective DE with his hand down.

I would really disapprove of a move up for him.

Ingram would be a situational 3 tech for us. Most of his production was from the 3 tech. He's not a good fit for us. I wouldnt spend the #19 pick on him.

I really like Jaye Howard though. He'd be a really good pick. He really stands out in games.
