Ok, so who is still on the board? Regarding positions of need (and other good aditions):
Maurice Hurst DT Tim Settle DT Kyzir White S Will Richardson OT Da'Shawn Hand DE Parry Nickerson CB Desmond Harrison OT Duke Ejlofor DE Jalyn Holmes DE Anthony Averett CB Foley Futakasi DT Armani Watts S Jamarco Jones OT
Wish we could've given our 115 pick for Miller, instead of 105, DE or DL help would look more promising, but Miller is a quality pick-up, so...
Gotta think we'll be doing a BPA for an Edge Rusher or an OT here.
Holy Freakin’ Shit, I certainly hope so! Cuz right now, Soul, YOU are 3rd on the Bears depth chart at OLB.
Its a a pretty pathetic group at this point.
Guess I better bulk up then huh? That and see if I can improve upon a 6 second 40. LOL
Floyd and Lynch give Fangio his base OLBs so I'm thinking that's a position where Pace will try to dig up another mid round nugget like he has with Jackson, Howard, and Cohen. There are a few guys still left and RRH could certainly become a decent pass rusher. Plus with Smith I think you'll see Fangio try more zone blitzing at times. That kid can rush.

If available, I would go for Settle. Has the size to play anywhere in a 3-4 front. I really don't see a decent edge rusher left in the draft. But then again, this was a really weak draft for edge prospects.

It's weird for Settle to have fallen this far. Still, I think Sweat and Duke and Armstrong are good prospects at EDGE and are worth a swing in the 4th / 5th.
There are a lot of good players still out there and at this spot in the draft Pace has a lot of leniency in his selections. No ones expecting a ton from a 4th rounder. Hell, 2 years ago he drafted 3 Safeties in the 4th and they're all on their way out the league.

Its pretty shite, but so is the class. For me, it doesnt make sense try use all draft capital on a position group that is weak compared to a normal draft class. BPA over reaching because of needs. ILB was a huge need, C/OG was a huge need, WR was not a huge need, but could be improved. I am satisifced. Would I love a passrusher? Oh yea, but if the value isnt there

There are a couple of guys with potential but all look like pretty raw prospects to me. At least a year out from being productive.
Of all the EDGE left, Sweat and Armstrong are most appealing. Not sure where the value pick is for them. At 4P15 if Crosby (OT/OG) or Settle or Hand (DE) is still around I'd imagine they go that direction based off the value of the pick. Still, 5p8 is a bit late to expect either Sweat or Armstrong to be around and I have to think that Fangio wants a young EDGE to work with.
