Lance Zierlein
In his latest mock he has us trading down with ATL, and taking CB Arnold (with Nabers and board crush Bowers still on the board). Weird pick when Harbaugh refused to throw to Kool Aid’s side, like a lot of teams. Zierlein sites scheme fit and our true need for a CB1, but was Arnold even top dog on his college team? I dunno enough about either, hypothetically KA’s 40 time is off-putting, but it sure didn’t stop college teams from throwing to the opposite side. Curious.

It was said here that Georgia did that as wll but if you watch that tape, i didnt see it. Goergia just ran their offense even when Kool Aid went out of the game. They still didnt really throw that way much.

I can see us picking a TE but id be shocked if we drafted a WR in the first round. I really like Nabers and Odunze as well but WR would be BPA and not what we really need and nothing wrong with BPA but we have so many holes to fill. In a trade down i think we go Bowers, CB, OL, or Edge. WR can be had later. Just my humble opinion.
My guy is Bowers but i wouldnt be terribly upset if we went another direction. Those i listed are needs and no DT is worth the top 8 or 10 so id be good with either, though a tad grumpy missing Bowers
Getting some extra picks via trading down is one of my primary goals, as a make-believe GM for the Bolts. If I can find a trade partner at any spot down to #11, I'm doing it.... for the right price, of course.- Chicago Bears (via CAR)*

I won't be surprised if they draft a couple of O-linemen and sign one in FA, but wholesale changes? I'm not sure that's happening this year, but I guess we'll see..."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

I think you are probably right. Not everything can be fixed all at once in one draft. I think they will be drafting linemen most drafts going forward. For this draft an upgrade on RT would be nice, but the first priority has to be a starting center."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

I'm not buying it, another thing about Salyer is his conditioning, he looks like he's been playing a good 30 pounds overweight since he got drafted...not a good thing when you came out of college with a chronic knee issue...

MHJ, Bowers, Nabers, Odunze. How far can we go and still get one?
We have a great QB. I want him to have multiple very good to great pass catchers. 1 or 2 ain't enough and picking later, we'll need luck.
