NFL Draft Coverage...or at least Bears coverage
Hola quesolitos! Just this morning it dawned on me that I have watched over eight hours of the NFL draft this weekend, and less than 30 minutes of the NBA playoffs. Whaddaya make of that? Was I the only one who watched more draft than playoffs.
Well, my beloved Chicago bears once again proved that they seem to either be so far ahead of the curve that they are beyond the league and therefore do not excell in it, or, and more likely, they seem to be a bit behind the curve when it comes to the draft. I mean, what would you get for the team with the overall 2nd best defense and one of the league's worst offenses? That's right everyone, trade the opportunity for a solid starting wideout like Santonio Holmes or Chad Jackson, and draft defense for all your remaining picks (save the sixth round FB and G they picked up). Nice work guys. We are now the best AND the deepest defense in the league. We still bite on offense.
Well, they did draft Danieal Manning from Abilene Christian University.
Oh well, let's hope sexy Rexy stays healthy this year.

Danieal Manning is fast. Real fast. 4.30 40 fast. It doesn't matter if he played against Tarleton State most of his career. With that kind of speed, it just doesn't matter. It's a good pick. Perhaps a little high, but still a good pick. And the Bears got Dusty Dvoracek (who has an alcohol/rage problem) from OU. I don't like the guy, but he can play.

Thought you might like Greg Easterbrook's Bear's draft analysis from his ESPN.com "Tues. Morning Quarterback" rant. He wrote: "Chicago: The Bears used their first two selections on cornerbacks. This was sensible since, against Steve Smith in the playoffs, Chicago appeared to be playing without any cornerbacks."
