Live NFL 2006 Draft Coverage (official thread)

Christ. Another DE, Mark Anderson from Alabama to Chicago.

The Bears have not selected an offensive player in the draft.

Yeah, but why would they? They have all their starters back, and according to Angelo that's all they need, because they're all apparently potential All-Pros. What a joke. The Bears are the only team in the division that hasn't significantly upgraded their football team.

I'll still be shocked if they don't make the playoffs next year, but this draft has been jaw-dropping. I would have went.

1. Jackson WR Florida
2. Pope TE Georgia
4. Nande LB Miami Ohio
5. Wright DT Texas

What do you think of that BuckLion?

Jackson ahead of Holmes? Wtf?

Holmes went the pick before the Bears, and I think that's who they really wanted, as wideout#2 and also a return guy.

I like your list Wrestler, I can't believe they didn't take Pope, it just shows what an ass-smack Angelo is when it comes to admitting mistakes (Desmond Clark). I might have taken Moss instead of Jackson, but either way, we could have had a good WR or a better DB that played somewhere people have heard of, and a LB better than the 3rd or 4th best player on an absolutely horrible defense (Arizona State) sounds good too. They also could have nabbed Kudla in the 5th.

The Bears were 1 pick after Holmes was so calm down buddy.
Although the Bears are one of the few teams if I was the GM i'd rather have Jackson then Holmes. I think Bradley and Berrian are too 'similiar' to Holmes. As a fan in my couch i'd love to have Holmes though. The game Krenzel staarted for the Bears was the most excited i've been in a long time.

I figure the return coverage will be okay with the speedster they drafted last year, his name is slipping my mind, he spent most this season injuried.

Honest mistake. Jackson played in a warm weather city while Holmes played in a cold weather city which would also factor in.
