Lith Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I knew Lith was gonna do that. Sneaky, low key smart. Thanks -- didn't expect him to be there and I wasn't sure I should pull the trigger, but living in Chicago and subjecting myself to all of the talk radio around here, I would be a hero in this city for getting the guy to replace Jay. Now if only I could get that WR back from the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Good pick by the Bears if you ask me. Gutsy because they have other needs but I do agree that they want to get rid of Cutler and his contract was the only thing keeping him around for now. They can now work forward on dumping him and have their starter groomed for a year and much more ready. Would like to see a team do this type of thing and show patience for a Qb not ready right now but with a lot of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Bears decided they had enough of Cutler. Mariota can sit for a year and we will get rid of Cutler at before the next season when the cap hit is not so bad. Really clever. Bravo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prime21 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I choose Beasley because he fills a huge and can make an immediate impact on our already good defense. With the pressure form the defensive line, excellent coverage in the secondary, Vic will be able to get to the pass rusher from the outside which is his strength. He is better suited for our squad then Fowler. I did not choose Mariota because I debated him last night and all day today. With the 6th pick in the draft loaded with edge rushers and good WR's, I could not take a player that I was struggling to convince myself to take. Mariota is a project and I do not want to select a QB #6 to be a project. I think we are better off picking up an OLB and getting a project QB in the 2nd or 3rd if available. I thought of Cooper here as well but i think LB is a greater need than WR at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Fowler's a beast and passing on Cooper would be tough, good pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea of pass rusher here -- I might have gone Fowler ahead of Beasley, but I can't really argue with the pick. The only missing element of our defense right now is an edge rusher. You probably can still get a good WR at the top of Round 2. There are not likely to be any pass rushers that will make an immediate contribution in the 2nd. Pass rushers are hard to find -- either you have to draft them or overpay in free agency. Solid pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think it means for coples? Great point on Pace -- if we pick an edge rusher, then Pace &/or Babin becomes expendable. Pace is about $2 mil cap savings if cut and Babin is about another $1.5 mil. That money can come in handy down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime21 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 This is a very realistic pick. I have expressed in a lot of threads that I am scared of Beasley. I am afraid he is a combine freak like Gholson was. He gained a ton of weight for the combine, he benched 225 35 times but on tape he gets manhandled by linemen, ... He just worries me, and I know it's a very unpopular opinion. But it's a great pick and has a huge % chance of happening. I like Ray more if they are both available because he was also very productive in school, he's a natural sized 3-4 pass rusher and the real tie breaker is hes a former college teammate of Sheldon. I think that could really help his transition to the pros. Beasley, Fowler, Fowler, Beasley...Wasn't easy once I decided I wanted an edge rusher. Last week it was Fowler for me and this week it was Vic. Really tough choice for me but a good headache to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of good talent to choose from that can be impact players for us early on. It'll really show us what Mccags values in their evaluation as far as chasing upside and what positions they value in this draft. For the Jets, I think they need a guy who can be a superstar, so I can respect taking the high ceiling guy in Beasley, albeit he's a bit of a risk. Personally, I'd take Cooper if the board fell that way, but I think with a defensive minded HC they're more likely to go OLB. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picks can still be made by the designated GM, but time constraints are paused until 10 AM tomorrow. For instance, Ghost went on the clock at 8 PM, so the four hour limit brings him to noon tomorrow.
