[Lets_Play_2]

Trade 20 to Philly (Florida State QB E.J. Manuel)

Get back this year's #35 (2nd) & 67 (3rd), and next year's 4th round pick.

Bears select from (Hopefully):

#35: Menelik Watson, OT, Florida State or Terron Armstead, OT, Arkansas-Pine Bluff or Larry Warford, OG, Kentucky or Jonathan Banks, CB, Mississippi State

#50: Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas State or Khaseem Greene, LB, Rutgers or even Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame

#67: Kyle Long, OT, Oregon or David Bahktiari, OT, Colorado or Barrett Jones, C/G, Alabama or Justin Pugh, G/T, Syracuse -or- IMO, a real dark horse candidate, Chris Faulk, OT, LSU

I'm of the opinion guards can be found later in the draft and developed (Kromer has a track record of this as well).

We need a mike backer and I love me some Arthur Brown.

Is he "over-drafted" at 20?

[blair18]

he miiiight be. I think it is a close call. Its hard nowadays to find really, I mean really impacting MLBs anymore. They're being eclipsed increasingly by these OLBs that can rack up sacks for your team and what not. Not saying its not still a very important position, but maybe the impact level of a 1st Round MLB arguably isn't what you'd see with other positions with more chances to get the sacks, the picks, what not.

I think we need to trade down, just based on the team we can field right now and not knowing what we'll do with the rest of FA. Buut, if we absolutely can't move down, and Cooper, and Warmack are gone, and at this point, maybe even if they ARE there, with Brown on the board, he might be the way to go.

Arthur Brown is gaining some traction amongst Bears draftniks, and I know we're going to hear a lot more about Ogletree as well.

Here's a question that hasn't be posed though, and I'm asking this from the player's standpoint, not the team's standpoint: would Chicago be the best possible landing spot for Manti T'eo after the fake girlfriend thing? With a large Notre Dame fanbase already in the city, he could potentially face less criticism despite being in a major market.

If those big boys from Bama are there take em. They can always put Fluker at OG. Whatever the Bears decide it's going to have to be immediate impact players period. P.S. Bears better add some killer speed to that receiving core.

IMO

1) Trade down
2) OLB Arthur Brown
3) TE Tyler Eiffert for 2 TE sets
4) D J Fluker
