All Purpose Why are the Bears drafting this douche thread. 4/26-27 2008.

[BC]

I actually liked the Williams pick, lord knows the Bears need to fix the offensive line.

The problem is that Benson just flat out sucks, and once it got into the 20's I think the Bears would have been well-served to jump up there and grab Mendenhall.

Rice strikes me as a meh running back, and Charles looks to have potential but he's from Texas, and the last two highly-considered running backs out of Texas haven't worked out well in the NFL.

How'd the last two well-considered RB's from Illinois work out?

Red Grange was pretty good.

Red Grange was pretty good.

Robert Holcombe had a decent career, although he did move to fullback later on in his career.

Pierre Thomas wasn't highly considered, but the Saints like him...

Miami and KC didn't take QBs.  Barring someone trading up...We may have the chance to draft Brian Brohm.  It may be unpopular here at the only site you'll ever need, but it'd be damned good for the offense (provided the Bears don't just ruin him).

Baltimore looks really dumb for taking Flacco at 18 so far.

Which one is Mendenhall?

Brohm's a taller Grossman, for goodness sakes... He's immobile, prone to bouts of inaccuracy even when not facing pressure, looks bad when he is pressured, and any throw outside the numbers is a possible pick-six due to that lack of accuracy and not being smart about where he's throwing it.

Get this team a damn running back!!!

In keeping with my extensive notes for your cherubic ass, You could have quit right here and been ahead on points. But you just couldn't help yourself. Could you? You're a regular John Kerry. And why do you insist on ripping people for being afraid to take chances on multi-million dollar deals involving ballplayers when you're afraid to type profanity on a fringe message board? Jesus H. Christ.

Angelo fucking sucks.

You got your wish.  Now, I look forward to you bashing this pick as well.

I like the potential of the pick. He isn't going to help immediately like Mendenhall would've, but Forte has a lot of natural ability and talent.

Watch a lot of Tulane games, do you?

[Andre Dawson's Creek]

The Bears are gonna take  QB at some point.  That QB will either be the second coming or Rex Orton 2.0.  As such, they're gonna hold off and cover all the bases by drafting  Brady Leaf from Oregon.

Mendenhall wasn't worth drafting or trading up for.  Forte screams workout wonder, even though he may work out because he'll have 3/5ths of a functional offensive line instead of the crap the Bears put out there last year.  His Tulane team may have sucked, but so did their competition.

I saw two of them if I remember correctly. It isn't like I have seen the guy a ton, but what I did see I liked generally and some draft experts liked him in this general range of picks as well.
