Looking for a replacement for Drew Bennett?

might be worth a 7th rounder knowing that there's a good chance he'd amount to a wasted pick, but isn't that always a risk with a seventh rounder?

 

with all this talent in this draft giving up even a 7th rounder might be too much, why not wait, stay in touch with him, if he shows signs of changing his mind, invite him to camp, i think its to much of a risk to blwo a pick on someone playing for chicago, but not the bears.

 

:eh?:

we have ten picks, i think we can make do with spending a 7th rounder on him.

 

i dont see that he was projected to be a first rounder

look under his picture, he would have been a first rounder.

 

yea i kno, but i just dont see him being talented enough for a first rounder is what i meant

 

he produced more than ginn and bowe, he just isnt as flashy.

 

I doubt he would've been a first rounder. He had great production playing with Brady Quinn, sure. He isn't really a great athlete, though. Probably a mid 2nd rounder if he had not went to baseball. As it stands, someone might take him in the 7th, but most likely, he'll go undrafted. It also matters how good of a baseball prospect he is. Just from that little link, I'm going to assume he is a pretty good prospect. Still, even if we could guarantee that he would be playing football in say 2 years, that is a limited athlete at receiver who'll be in his mid 20s for his rookie season and hasn't played football for 2 years. No thanks.

 

he had better production than bowe, who played with jamarcus russel.

let me make something clear, i would not have selected him in the first round had he not chosen baseball, but we're talking about a seventh round pick here.
