"NEW YORK -- On the eve of the NFL draft, Johnny Manziel said he has no idea which team will pick him but that any quarterback-needy team that passes on him will regret it."
I would have agreed with him up until the time he made that statement.

Since he said he's the best fit for any team needing a QB, you now think he's not going to be a good QB?
Am I understanding this right?

No. He is clearly a schmuck who is going to be despised by whatever team gets him. That ain't good. Especially when the despisee is the team leader in the huddle.

He's a schmuck because he said anyone who passes on him will regret it?
So, then this guy (http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcwest/post/_/id/88618/not-as-disappointed-as-the-49ers-will-be) is a schmuck too?
I'm not saying Johnny isn't an asshat, I just think that quote is pretty much standard fare for anyone coming into a draft.

Although Aaron may be a schmuck for other reasons, the statement about the 49ers was made in an entirely different context than Johnny Football's statement. Rodgers was, by then, a Bay Area boy and a 49er fan. The 49ers had a need for a quarterback and everyone, me included, knew that he was a natural fit. What the 49ers did by choosing Alex Smith was a slap in the face. Rodgers could have said that the Bears are going to regret that the 49ers didn't take him, but he was angry with his "home team", not teams in general. His statement was made in anger, not simply because he was full of himself. (Which he was.)

Kyle Fuller is okay with me. I wonder if they use him like AZ did Mathieu last year, move him from nickel to safety, then move him full time to CB as Tillman's replacement in 2015.

Fortunately I have no idea what Hub thinks. I'll be disappointed still if they don't nab a safety in round 2 or 3 but corner was a definite need, and arguably a greater long term need than safety. I think Buchanon from Washington State makes a lot of sense as 2nd round target at safety.

Meatballs lighting up the Score because Emstink didn't draft a safety and the one they'd heard of was drafted by the Packers eight picks later. As if shoring up the defense in front of the safeties isn't a priority. You can have fucking LeBron Muhammad Bruce Lee at safety in last year's defense and he'd still be making plays 20 yards downfield. WHAT THE FUCK MEATBALLS!!!!!!!!
Oh, well. At least they'll finish last this year and can trade Cutler before drafting Jamies Winston. AMIRITE?

I love corners who can actually tackle. Now P'nut can teach him the fumble punch and we can just enjoy another decade of run-stuffing turnover producing play on the perimeter.

A rundown (http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/05/08/ostrowski-your-bears-draft-cheat-sheet/) of all the expert (and Florio) picks.
According to that list, two guys (Eric Edholm and Walter Cherepinsky) had Fuller going to the Bears. Aside from how weird it is to use the team's official site to promote ESPN's Mel Kiper of ESPN, ESPN's Lead Draft Expert Brought to You by the Bud Light Blue Room and ESPN, I don't know why Larry Mayer says (http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1/Kiper-correctly-predicted-Bears-pick/2fc495c4-e163-46ef-8d1a-53e8f596a50c) Kiper nailed it when the Score says Kiper picked Justin Gilbert. Multiple mocks? A rookie Microsoft Excel error? WYC?
Edit: Apparently Kiper did another last-minute mock draft yesterday. Next year, let's do enough mocks to get the pick right so Desipio will get a nice write-up on the Bears' site.
Rooting for Phil to take Sam at 31.

Positions from the Tribune's report (http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-bears-undrafted-free-agents-20140511,0,3595239.story), which adds that Patrick received a $750 signing bonus, Lynch chose the Bears over the Packers and Emery was "impressed" by his running ability, Dunn has a preexisting relationship with new assistant D-line coach Clint Hurtt from Louisville, Booth was a tight end for three years before switching to the line, and the Bears' 90-man roster is now full.
Jones could be a steal — NFL.com had him as a 2nd or 3rd round pick (http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profiles/christian-jones?id=2543710). Apparently he fell out of the draft partly due to a positive drug test. Groy was a projected 3rd to 4th rounder (http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profiles/ryan-groy?id=2543886). Lattimore was a "priority free agent," (http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profiles/devekeyan-lattimore?id=2543858) while Lynch was a late round prediction (http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profiles/jordan-lynch?id=2543833).

"QB" Jordan Lynch (http://www.niuhuskies.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/jordan_lynch_402677.html), Northern Illinois. 6'0, 216
He's got "meatball favorite" written all over him, right?
He's got it tatted across his knuckles.
The list on the last page is updated with all the signings headed into this week's rookie camp.

It's going to be incredible when he gets a short yardage rushing touchdown in week 2 of the preseason and fans start calling for him over Cutler

Like they'll wait that long.
I like this draft. The safety thing is concerning but at least Vereen's a very interesting prospect. I don't know how much he can contribute in year one. People forget the Bears managed to have a pretty good defense in 2010-2012 with the same two shitty ass safeties they had last year, so I'm pretty sure Phil's banking on everyone else in front of them being better to cover up some deficiencies on the back end.
To that respect I definitely like the picks of Ego and Sutton. I found it hilarious when everybody raged over them leaving Sutton on the board to take Ferguson only to get him in the 3rd round. Sutton's back at the weight he was playing at his junior year when he had 13 sacks before his coaches asked him to beef up and he dropped to 4. A 3rd down pass rush package of Allen-Houston-Sutton-Young should get some pressure.
Also I really don't get anyone bitching about drafting a punter in the sixth round. It's the sixth fucking round. One Tom Brady going there 15 years ago should not preclude you from ever using a usually meaningless pick on a specialist your team actually needs.

I enjoy how the color of pessimism is Jets green.

I'd have to say that not too many teams had what appeared to be terrible drafts on the surface. That probably meshes with the perception that this draft was extraordinarily deep, but there weren't too many teams that seemed to fuck up glaringly, which probably explains the poll. I have no doubt Lions fans are a bit upset with the team's refusal to address glaring weaknesses at CB and Safety for the 18th straight year. Even the Raiders and Cowboys passed up potentially hilarious and stupid choices in the first round for safer and seemingly smarter picks.

I never really believed Jerrah would draft Manziel, but damned if I didn't want to see it happen.

NFL Network was pulling for Dallas to draft Manziel really hard. I couldn't understand why. I figured it'd ether be Oakland or Cleveland.
