OT: Bears and NFL Talk Thread XLVI: Kevin White placed on IR

Who was the last 1st rounder that when selected you told yourself "The Bears got a great one"

Urlacher was definitely that guy for me. Liked Harris and Olsen picks as well, but Urlacher pick had be pumped.

Really the only first round pick that I hated when it happened in the last 10 years was the McClellin pick. It just didn't make any sense and he really wasn't on my radar at all. I also hated the Ced Benson pick but that was a long time ago. I was skeptical about the Chris Williams pick but saw the upside, that didn't work out.

Before injury Vasher was really coming into his own at CB and was starting to lockdown big name WR's

The INT"s all seemed to be big moment events with him to so he had that game breaker potential. And his speed allowed him to cover anyone

He looked the part of a rising star at CB before injuries

I remember a lot of talk about Harris being best DT since Sapp heading into draft. Sapp of course being ****** he is got offended by such talk and seemed to pleasure in Harris injury issues at end of career

Harris was so good. He was a major reason why that def. was so good. Pressure on the QB constantly allowed our secondary to be very aggressive along our LB core.

For me it was Tommie Harris and he was every bit the player I hoped he would be before injuries took toll

I remember a lot of people loving the Kevin White pick. I know I did, guy was an absolute monster, definitely raw, but a lot of great WRs are coming out of college.

I still don't mind the White pick. He is starting to show what he can do (although he is out for a few weeks since he got rolled up on). People writing him off already are crazy to me. Pace said when he drafted him that he was raw.

What if I told you he broke his fibula and was just put on the IR?

I would say the same thing minus 1 part.

Sucks.

 

[RayP]

Wasted a pick on a WR that made no sense at the time to spend one entire season on the IR and likely miss 12 games the following year.

Anyone find the silence on Fuller odd?

I know he was leftover of old regime but man it seems the Bears are pretending he doesn't exist

Does he fit in our defense?

He might still have some potential/

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

In fanasty, I got offered Eddie Royal, Dez Bryant, and Tavon Austin for just Jordy Nelson..

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Nelson is more valuable than all 3 combined

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

I think a lot of that depends on Dez's health situation, though. And I think Royal's value is not going to go up.

 

[ChiGuySez]

Wasnt keen on the QB class but if Mitch Trubisky falls to the Bears slot, Id be all over that pick

Does a defense exist in which a good cornerback wouldn't fit?

Nope.... too bad Fuller sucks, though.

 

[ChiGuySez]

Fuller looked great his rookie year. Got progressively worse. Supposed to be the opposite.

I know Hub Arkush has been saying for a few years that he would be a better fit at safety. I wonder if that would be worth trying if he ever gets healthy again.

Didn't he really only have like 3-4 good games even as a rookie, and finished the year off pretty dreadfully?

Bad games are acceptable/a push for a rookie. Had 4 picks.

On a side note, I know you're a bike enthusiast and I just saw this Cyclotron

That just looks way too expensive, and I don't even know how much it costs.


Right now the wife doesn't even want to hear me mutter a single word about riding even an indoor exercise bike.

Yes, he got hurt around game 6 or so, think it was against the Dolphins and never recovered.
