I understand what you're saying, but look how skilled a cornerback Marcus Peters is and what Kansas City had to lose in trade to get him off the team...

No way I thought we were getting Lattimore. Still surreal that happened IMO. Amazing steals 10-15 because I don't see any of these QB's doing anything just like last year. Even Barkley is way overrated. Great combine but body of work is suspect and nowhere near a Barry Sanders or even Fournette.

I see us getting a couple of starters again. Much much value late. TE, DB and also RB. I hope we can snag Kalen Barrage in the 5th or 6th. That dude looks scary close to Kamara minus some receiving skills.

Totally agree. Just don't see drafting a five-six year career position with a first round pick. Barkley especially. Hope the other kids draft him...

And you helped make the case of exactly why we don't need Barrage - if you can't catch in a SP offense you can keep moving down the draft...

I didn't say Barrage can't catch, just didn't get many in that offense, sort of like Fournette who can actually catch. The ones Barrage did get, he looked very similar in style to Kamara. I wouldn't even call him a flyer in the draft. He'll get drafted in the 5th IMO.

It’s starting to look like a VERY real possibility that WR Calvin Ridley could still be available when we pick. I’ve seen a few draft analysts speculate about this and when I run through how the first round could play out I’m seeing it as well.

If we somehow manage to get Ridley then forget about it... We win the draft.

Lots of good WR's this draft. Not Julio caliber but solid slot guys and press beaters. Gallup, Hamilton, Miller are a few I think will have immediate impacts for teams. Not really a need for us but I could see it late if they are the best available. If Ridley is there at 27 though, it would be hard to pass on him. Actually it would be stupid to do so.

It all just depends on what kind of WR the teams who could use one in the first round are looking for. Teams could be looking for more of an X-receiver whereas Ridley is a flanker. Also, are there other positions that WR-needy teams just see more value in for the first round?

I’ve heard that a team like the Panthers, who could use a WR, prefers DJ Moore.

Bears have got to take a Wide Receiver; Kevin White's a bust and they just let Cam Meredith walk...

Calvin Ridley is being touted as this generation's Marvin Harrison - Bears need a WR for Trubiskey...
