All I know is that if I'm the Bears I have one or two guys that there only job is to scout QBs the last two years. They go to their games, talk to people who know them and watch all of their film. They don't need to go in in depth with every single QB in the nation but they should have it narrowed down to at least 6 guys and have the majority of their focus on them. Maybe I'm way off base but that's what I'd do.
I'd be lying if I said I knew how they run their scouting department.
I have know clue either. Just saying that's what I would do if I was serious about drafting the most important position on the team.
I disagree. I think CB is a bigger need than DE. Porter should not start. Fuller is still a question mark. I also think RT is a bigger need than a new OLB. I would say: QB CB DE FS TE RT
CB is a big need no doubt, but man that other DE spot is a huge need b/c of how important DE is to the 3-4 scheme. Need a strong line top to bottom
IDGAF what Mel Kipper or any of these other talking heads on TV think. They are rarely right on anything. If they get 1 pick out 100 right they celebrate like a draft genius. I just want Pace to pick the best guy our Scouts and him find.

I hope we draft Watson or Kizer over any other players(Minus Garret)
I tend to agree zif, I think Watson/Kizer are as complete as the other def playmakers other then Garrett, and maybe Hooker, but I went back to 2000, and no DB was taken lower then #5, so I cannot see, w/out a trad down) how they can take a S unless they are absolutely 100% convinced they are Eric Berry lvl.
+1 I would not be disappointed at all if we ended up with Kizer. The challenge is to see these QBs as NFL quarterbacks, rather than compare their college performances. Right now I like Watson's college performances better than Kizer's. But that doesn't mean Kizer might not be the better pro. This is what Pace and our scouts get paid for - to more accurately forecast how these guys will translate to the NFL game. Whomever they pick I just hope they get it right.

Well, we are picking at three, so if Pace sees Trubinski, Kizer and Watson as being equal (which I sincerely doubt) and he wants a QB, we'll get our guy

I think there is a good chance Pace will trade down a bit and still get one of those three guys. But it depends upon how the Browns and 49ers go with their picks. I could see another team wanting that #3 pick badly enough to move up and give us another 2nd round pick - and we could still land our QB of choice. But (and it's a big but) it depends how the draft unfolds.

To trade down means someone would want to trade up. Who would want to trade up to 3th overall pick? If someone trades up it's to get a QB. Allen/Hooker/Adams is not worth @ 3 imo. IF Browns and 49'ers take a QB perhaps someone would want to trade up to get Garret, but we could use him ourself.
That being said I also hope we dont trade down. I want Watson and Kizer and they are gone by the 11 pick at least. Bills and JEts will take Watson/Kizer perhaps even Trubsky if they are there.
