a little unrealistic, i think. hmm.

# 20: Star Lotulelei, dt, Utah. a clear-cut case of BPA, even though it's not a huge need.

# 50: Arthur Brown, lb, Kansas St. best LB on the board, and i'm tickled to land him here.

#117: Hugh Thornton, g, Illinois. i think he's plug-and-play at either G spot.

#153: Chris Harper, wr, Kansas St. this is my pound-on-the-table guy, TBH. he's worth a Day 3 flyer.

#188: Adrian Bushell, cb, Louisville. best corner left on my board. decent coverage guy with decent ball skills.


EDIT: looking past #253, i'd try to bring in T.J. Johnson, c, South Carolina; Jack Doyle, te, W Kentucky; Marquis Jackson, de, Portland St; Vinston Painter, t, Virginia Tech; Alex Carder, qb, W Michigan; and Phillip Steward, olb, Houston.

# 20....Star Lotulelei DT Utah: yeah we Franchised Melton, so what...thats a 1 year deal right?
# 50....Arthur Brown LB Kansas State: Getting him in the 2nd would be a steal, even if he is a bit on the smaller side
#117...Alvin Bailey OG Arkansas: Strong guy who can also block in space (ie when pulling)
#153...Denard Robinson WR Michigan: Playmaker with Speed and Agility...hard to pass up when you get this late in the draft.
#188...Melvin White CB Louisiana-Lafayette: Not listed in the GBN top 300, but I like him for his height and where he's from and who he's compared to...http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/profil...ite?id=2539251

Interesting that you got the first two right, then you got the positions right but got the names wrong...

[Mikefive]

Wow. Is it a rule that you must pick at particular positions in each round? How boring.

[thunderspirit]

M5: it just means janos and i see the same team (if not the same solutions).

and he's entitled to be wrong... LOL

Man, the Bears are so ****ed only having 5 draft picks with the lack of young talent they have.

[FearTheBeard]

Hate going by prospect rankings to do a mock... walterfootball.com is what I am going off of

R1-20 Desmond Trufont CB Wash
R2-50 Manti Te'o ILB ND
R4-117 Brian Schwenke C Cal
R5-153 Joe Fauria - TE UCLA

I don't think we are THAT bad off with young talent. We ARE that bad of when you consider Young + Tied Up talent, and general cap health. The guys I really care about keeping (young and old) all have contracts coming up in the next 1-2 years.

# 20 Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame
# 50 Barrett Jones C/G Alabama (X)
#117 Terry Hawthorne CB Illinois
#153 Denard Robinson WR Michigan (/RB)

Admittedly I know next to nothing about non-star named players or players that weren't brought up on the board. I guess I need to watch more college ball.
