I could see it when your team is set at most positions but I don't think the Bear have that luxury this year. If they had more picks maybe.

Where are you looking to see reactions? You're not going to find it in this thread. I was very surprised they grabbed another RB though. You'd think they would want to improve their defense.

Didn't get a chance to follow the draft live yesterday but DVRed it and watched it last night. Caught up on this thread this morning. Lots of pessimism in this thread but I'm actually quite happy with the way things worked out. I initially thought we could have had Trubisky at 3 but don't think so anymore. I don't think we gave up at a lot for him (compared to HOU and KC) and I like that Pace is making bold moves and was able to recoup some of his picks. After today, if we addressed our QB, TE, and CB/S needs, I won't care what order we got them and what picks we gave up.

Think I saw that when he was there, he was tied for both top bench reps and top 40 time. So really hoping for a complete package tight end that can block and catch.

Yeah, I'm there too, was originally hoping the bears may have had a shot at him in the second before the injury. If there value was there, I wouldn't complain too much, but man do we have other holes we need to fill.

If everyone wanted to get a TE that can catch and block they should have hoped the Bears waited a couple rounds and grabbed George Kittle from Iowa. He may be the best blocking TE in the draft and can still catch.
Kittle is a prime example that a player can learn to become a very good blocker and that's why I'm not worried about Shaheen.

There seems to be a double standard going on here? Flap can ##### for weeks about poor free agent moves (not signing Jeffery) and claims that Fox and Pace are idiots. Someone else doesn't like the draft moves and suddenly we are wrong. Same coach and GM. Now their geniuses?
Can't have it both way.

Hey, it's the Internet! I've never liked Pace's free agency approach. That goes back years. I can't fault his drafting after last year. If he hits on this draft, we're in the best shape we've been in since the 80s
They were idiots becuase they didn't do what Flap wanted them to. Now they are geniuses because they did.
I don't see any double standard here at all!

OL?
I know some think our OL has improved, but they are no where near ready to protect a rookie QB.

He'll end up playing a decent amount this year. May not start right away but will play.

Glennon will start. If the bEars are even remotely in a playoff hunt, he will continue to start. Once the Bears are out of it, Trubisky may get a chance, depending on how he's progressing.

Looks like two horrible picks.

Trubisky is at least a year away from starting, maybe more. He started 13 games in college. He is green as grass. The best way to ruin a QB prospect is to put him on the field too early. I actually think Glennon will play well.

I think the interior of the offensive line is very solid. But the tackles are not good.
