Falcoholic Draft Countdown: Chicago Bears, #14

1. Chris Long, DE, Miami Dolphins
2. Jake Long, OT, St. Louis Rams
3. Glenn Dorsey, DT, Atlanta Falcons
4. Darren McFadden, RB, Oakland Raiders
5. Ryan Clady, OT, Kansas City Chiefs
6. Vernon Gholston, LB/DE, New York Jets
7. Leodis McKelvin, CB, New England Patriots
8. Matt Ryan, QB, Baltimore Ravens
9. Sedrick Ellis, DT, Cincinnati Bengals
10. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, New Orleans Saints
11. Malcolm Kelly, WR, Buffalo Bills
12. Chris Williams, OT, Denver Broncos
13. Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Carolina Panthers

So as you can see, the Panthers selected Diet Pepsi machine, a bruising blocker out of PepsiCo State. Then they had to forfeit him because the Panthers suck.

Well, one can dream. In reality, the Panthers picked up Rashard Mendenhall, a terrific back who could eclipse DeAngelo Williams from the moment he steps on the field. While no team should spend two first round picks on running back in three years, Mendenhall is very talented. Can't argue with this.

Next we move into the Bears. The team really needs a quarterback, but any of the selections left over would be a huge reach at this spot. The team could also use a real running back, another wide receiver and help on the offensive line. Once you get past that, though, their offense is great!

Check out Windy City Gridiron for more info, and then make your pick!

falcons draft
First off,love your page,check it about 2 times a day.
second,replied to this post cause i dont know where i can send you a personal comment.
so,here is my question.in YOUR opinion,why are all the mock drafts saying we will pick chris long.
IF jake long and dorsey go with the first 2 picks,why the fuck would we pick another D end,we just spent last year pick on a D end.and just because he didnt do well,doesnt mean we should dump him.demario williams had a awful year his first year,and turned out a good second year.plus,J anderson is 6'6 280,chris long is 6'4 280.neither player can be moved to another position like D tackle or line backer.
AND,with the HUGE conracts first round picks are getting,we would have 3 highly paid D ends on our team.I know J abraham wont make it through a whole season ,but still,.....

SO,  IF J long and dorsey are gone,doesnt it make more sense to trade with the cowboys,let them get darren mcfertile, get him the same child support lawyer travis henry has,and drop us down to get somone later on.

what do you think

I agree with you
Chris Long isn't really a logical choice. Moving back would be an option, as would selecting Sedrick Ellis or Ryan Clady or even...maybe...I hope not...Matt Ryan. Whether the Cowboys are really serious about moving up in the world or not, I don't know. But one way or the other, the Falcons have options beyond Dorsey and Chris Long.
