Would the Bears take a QB in the first round? (1 Viewer)

[twistd]

On NFLdraftguys.com two of their mocks have the Bears taking Drew Stanton with their first round pick. I'm a Bears fan. I don't like Grossman, but I can't imagine the Bears taking a QB with their first round pick. I'm not all that familiar with Drew Stanton. Is he that good?

I think Stanton has the potential to be a very good game managing quarterback in the league. I have the Bears taking Stanton with their 31st pick. If they move up in the draft by trading Briggs I think they would have to move up from pick 2.5 to get Stanton.

Not a chance.

I don't think it'd be a bad idea for CHI to take a first day QB, but I doubt they do it. Grossman, Griese and Orton are the Bears QBs... I don't see any of them being cut and thus CHI isn't likely to take a QB early.

I agree with you. The only way that I see the Bears taking a QB is if they are really high on Stanton and he falls to them in the second round. I can't see them spending a first round pick on a QB. Not to mention signing a first round QB is expensive, even if you get him at the end of the first. I really think they are satisfied with their QB situation. I would be very suprised if they spent an early pick on a QB.

I'd have guessed a safety to replace Mike Brown long term.

I could see a QB later, but not Round 1.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Ill admit I mocked Stanton out of somewhat irrational anti-Grossman feelings. I doubt I mock him to them in the future, and he's the only QB remotely worth considering at 31.

Stanton's no game manager. He's a gunslinger. He has all the physical tools and is very intense, but wants to make something out every play and makes more than his share of bad decisions.I really wouldn't be surprised if Stanton was a HOF QB, and I wouldn't be shocked if he was a complete bust either. But one thing he won't be is a steady, reliable game manager type QB.

I've seen very little of Stanton.Your opinion tells me he might compare to J.P. Losman.Am I in the ballpark?

 

[Riffraff]

Can't think of one time a team went to the Super Bowl with a young 1st round QB and then decided to draft another 1st round QB the following year.

The team's window for a Championship is now. They are not going into rebuilding mode like the rest of their division.

I can see a lot of similarities there, especially in terms of their physical skills.I think the biggest difference is that Stanton doesn't come in with the immature attitude that Losman had (of course J.P. appears to have grown up quote a bit now). Stanton has good leadership qualities, so he might be able to develop a little faster than Losman.

not to get all crazy here, but bret favre had the same gunslinger mentality coming out of college (and still has it). i agree stanton could be very good. i also agree he could be very bad. he's got all the physical tools, which is why he could be a second round steal (or a first round bust). i guess i have no clue if drew stanton will be any good. that said, i hope the lions take him in rd 2.

I hate making comparisons to HOFers, but Stanton is much more in the Favre-mold than the Tom Brady-mold.

I guess the better question is, who would the Bears select, should they acquire the #6 pick from the Redskins in a trade involving Briggs?

Trent Dilfer was gunslinger in college .

 

[Rounders]

The Bears will not be drafting a QB this year in the first round or any round for that matter.

They have more pressing needs like OL, DL, S & LB

Look for the Bears to draft the BPA and build some depth on the lines.

My thoughts are Grubbs/Blaylock at the end of round 1, with a LB a possibility there. Then turnaround and draft a DT in round 2.

 

[dpee]

TROY SMITH, i really dont care what you haters have to say , just watch him he will develop and his only downfall is his height. simply wait to see. although im not suggesting they use thier first rounder to take him, i am suggesting that they do take him.

 

[trader jake]

If Grossman doesn't get the job done this year the Bears won't want to enter 08' with a 2nd year QB (1st as a starter). The Bears are a win now team and should draft the BPA available...I doubt that player is a QB at #31.

I'll guess offensive line help.

 

[benson_will_lead_the_way]

No chance for a QB or Stanton.

Grossman had more TD's last season, that the previous two seasons of a Bears QB combined.

Griese is more than capable backup

Orton is one of the best 3rd string QB's in the league.

I would be much more open to rumors of the bears drafting Lorenzo Booker than Drew Stanton.

 

[SeveredHorseHeads]

No chance.

 

[CYUNVme]

No way, no how

 

[snarfsnarf]

What about David Garrard as a fit for the Bears. I think he can be an improvement over Grossman, and I can't believe that Jax would let a Garrrad/Lefty controversy fester another year.
